Abstract: A vehicle operation detection device includes processing circuitry configured to output a command causing an opening-closing body of a vehicle to open and close in reference to capacitances of sensor electrodes arranged so as to form a row. The processing circuitry is configured to determine that a first operation has been performed when one of the sensor electrodes of which the capacitance increases is sequentially shifted in a first direction from an operation start electrode and determine that a second operation has been performed when the shifting is performed in a second direction. The sensor electrodes include an adjacent electrode adjacent to the operation start electrode. The processing circuitry is configured to determine that the capacitance of the adjacent electrode has increased when the capacitance becomes greater than or equal to a second determination value that is greater than a first determination value.

Abstract: A cutting apparatus includes a cutting device and a base section. The cutting device includes a motor, a housing, a circular saw blade, and a base plate. The circular saw blade is driven by the motor to cut a workpiece. The housing rotatably supports the circular saw blade and accommodates the motor. The base plate is connected with the housing and is formed with an opening into which the circular saw blade is inserted. The base plate includes a main base plate connected with the housing and a sub base plate detachably mounted on the main base plate. The base section supports the workpiece. The cutting device is detachably mounted on the base section and is pivotably supported by the base section to be moved toward and away from the base section to cut the workpiece.

Abstract: In an electric discharge machining apparatus using linear motor drive in which a machining power supply unit supplies an inter-electrode space between an electrode (1) and a workpiece (2) with a machining power and the workpiece (2) is machined while the electrode (1) and the workpiece (2) are moved in relation to each other by means of a driving device (8, 9, 10) implemented by a linear motor, a magnet supporting plate (17) for supporting a magnet (16) which is on the secondary side of the linear motor; a base plate (18) formed with at least one hole portion (18a); a spacer (19) for holding the magnet supporting plate (17) and the base plate (18) while leaving a predetermined space therebetween; and a compressor, (23), a dryer (24), a lubricator (25) and a regulator (26) for injecting compressed gas (20) from the hole portion (18a) toward the magnet supporting plate (17) are provided.

Abstract: In a machining liquid processing unit in an electric discharge machine selectively using two types of machining liquid of a first machining liquid not containing therein powder material and a second machining liquid containing conductive powder material mixed therein, a movable shooter is movably provided between a first position where a machining liquid is flown to a first storage section in a machining liquid vessel and a second position where a machining liquid is flown to a second storage section, and the machining liquid discharged from a machining liquid discharge port formed in the machining liquid vessel in an electric discharge machine is selectively flown to either of the first storage section or the second storage section by the movable shooter.
