Abstract: A mold is fabricated with a cavity formed in an insulating layer formed so as to be placed on an upper surface of a conductive base material. This mold is disposed in an electrolyte bath to be applied with a voltage, and a metal is electrodeposited on the bottom surface of the cavity to electroform a metal-formed product in the cavity. In this electrodepositing process, when the width of the cavity is taken as W and a vertical height of a head space between an upper opening of the cavity and an upper surface of a metal layer is taken as H, the growth of the metal layer is stopped so that the height H of the head space left above the metal layer satisfies: where 300 ?m?W; H?W/3.75 where 200 ?m?W<300 ?m; H?W/4 where 100 ?m?W<200 ?m; and H?W/10 where W<100 ?m.

Abstract: A contact includes a plate with a width that ranges from 0.1 mm or more to 1 mm or less, and a stress concentrated place, where a surface roughness (Ra) on the stress concentrated place is 0.2 ?m or less. When samples whose surface roughness Ra is 0.040 ?m, 0.080 ?m, 0.120 ?m, and 0.180 ?m were used to study a number of repetitive fracture times, as the surface roughness Ra was smaller, the number of repetitive fracture times became larger. Particularly, it is found that the surface roughness Ra may be 0.200 ?m or less in order to satisfy 3000 times as a number of operating times of the battery connector. Further, the surface roughness Ra may be 0.080 ?m or less in order to satisfy 6000 times as the number of operating times when a safety factor is 2.

Abstract: A contact formed by electroforming and extended in a direction roughly perpendicular to a voltage application direction in the electroforming has a contact portion disposed at one end of the contact, which is brought into sliding contact with a conductive member along the voltage application direction in the electroforming.

Abstract: A vibration isolator includes layered rubbers interposed between a support body and a movable body, and a pair of dampers attached to the support body at one ends and to the movable body at the other ends. The layered rubbers are arranged to be spaced apart in an anterior and posterior direction and in a left and right direction, with reference to a direction in which an operator faces when seated. One of the dampers is arranged at a position corresponding to a middle of the left and right direction between the layered rubbers arranged in the left and right direction, and aligned in the anterior and posterior direction. The other one of the dampers is arranged closer to an anterior side than a middle of the anterior and posterior direction between the layered rubbers arranged in the anterior and posterior direction, and aligned in the lift and right direction.

Abstract: There is provided a method of winding up a transfer film and a device for performing transfer printing on printed sheets of paper, capable of eliminating the need to frequently replace the transfer film, thereby allowing the transfer film to be used over a prolonged time. According to the method of winding up a transfer film, the transfer film fed from a feed roll through a feed path is pressed onto a fed printed sheet to transfer patterns of the transfer film, and then the transfer film is wound up onto a windup roll through a windup path. During the rewind of the transfer film from the windup roll to the feed roll, a lateral position of the transfer film running along the feed path is detected, and the feed roll is moved in its axial direction to follow a lateral positional change of the transfer film.

Abstract: There is provided a method and a device for performing transfer printing on printed sheets of paper, capable of reliably transferring patterns at predetermined positions on the printed sheets. The device includes a transfer section that conveys a transfer film while conveying the printed sheets and repeatedly transfers patterns of the transfer film onto the printed sheets.

Abstract: There is provided a method of performing transfer printing on sheets of papers capable of stopping a film from running while the film is kept apart from a cylinder and patterns of the film are not transferred onto the sheets, and of joining the film to the cylinder with the film and the cylinder matched in speed and phase at the resumption of running. While the cylinder is rotated at a specific speed, the film is on a first travel path and stopped from running. Before the film is moved from the first travel path to a second travel path to be joined to the cylinder, four steps are performed so that the running speed of the film is matched to the rotation speed of the cylinder, and the phase of marks provided on the film at equal intervals is matched to the phase of a gripper of the cylinder.

The transfer film is wound around a plurality of rollers in the surface treatment device, and rollers disposed close to an impression cylinder out of the plurality of rollers are adapted to be capable of being individually driven through motors, respectively. At an emergency stop of the printing press, a controlling section fine-adjusts the running speed of the transfer film into synchronization with the speed of the impression cylinder, by driving the rollers individually while acquiring information from an impression cylinder encoder.
