  • Publication number: 20210025428
    Abstract: Provided is a fiber-reinforced resin bolt having a strength higher than that of a conventional fiber-reinforced resin bolt. A fiber-reinforced resin bolt 1 formed by a winding step of winding a CFRP resin tape 14, which is formed in a band shape by integrating CFRP 12 with a thermosetting resin in such a manner that the CFRP 12 is oriented in a longitudinal direction, so that the CFRP 12 is arranged concentrically around a winding axis, thereby forming a CFRP resin tape layer 10; and a curing step of placing the CFRP resin tape layer 10 formed by the winding step in a die 40 whose inner wall surface is formed with a screw shape, pressurizing the die 40 in which the CFRP resin tape layer 10 is placed from one direction of the winding axis to the other, and heating the die 40 with a heater 82, thereby curing the resin containing the CFRP resin tape layer 10.

  • Patent number: 10728211
    Abstract: Provided is an electronic apparatus that possibly registers a domain name, an IP address, and identification information on the electronic apparatus itself with a DNS server, which includes a communication unit and a processing unit. When the domain name of the electronic apparatus is registered with the DNS server, the processing unit makes an acquisition request for identification information that is associated with the domain name of the electronic apparatus. In a case where the acquired identification information is not the same as the identification information on the electronic apparatus, the processing unit changes the domain name, and performs processing that registers the IP address and the identification information with the DNS server in a state of being associated with a post-change domain name.
