Abstract: A validation document while responding to a customer's demand is efficiently created. A server creates a first sample document upon receiving, from a terminal device, a request for creation of the first sample document including an inspection item targeted for a first device. The terminal device receives an operation of inputting the parameter value to the first sample document, and transmits the inputted parameter value to the server. The server creates a first validation document on the basis of the parameter value received from the terminal device and on the basis of the first sample document.

Abstract: The emergency stop switch 2 performs an operation support of an operation switch, and not only improves operability and safety but also simplifies the structure to enhance reliability. The emergency stop switch (or operation switch unit) 2 with an operation support function includes an emergency stop button (or operation switch) 21 for switching the state of the contact, a reception part (or detection part) 32 for detecting a remote operation of the emergency stop button 21 and an electromagnetic solenoid (or actuating part) 3 that is disposed between the contact and the emergency stop button 21 and that actuates the emergency stop button 21 on the basis of the remote operation received (or detected) by the reception part 32. The emergency stop button 21 is located on one end side of the emergency stop switch 2 and the contact is located on the other end side of the emergency stop switch 2.

Abstract: To provide a tool that ensures improved durability even when a diamond coating containing boron is formed. A diamond coating (40) includes a first layer (41) that is formed as a layer on a surface layer side of the diamond coating (40) and is regarded as containing no boron, and a second layer (42) positioned on a side of a base material (30) with respect to the first layer (41) and contains at least 1000 ppm or more of the boron. Since the first layer (41) with a larger compressive stress is formed on the surface layer of the diamond coating (40), a crack generation from the surface layer side of the diamond coating (40) during the process can be reduced. Consequently, the durability of a tool (1) can be improved even when the diamond coating (40) containing 1,000 ppm or more of boron is formed.

The casing includes a front surface and a back surface. The operation portion is disposed at a first position on the front surface and is operated with a first finger of a user for an input. The finger placement portion is disposed at a second position on the back surface. The second position corresponds to the first position. The finger placement portion guides a second finger of the user to be capable of being placed thereon.

Abstract: A hard coating film is efficiently etched by a krypton ion beam of comparatively large mass, and then it is slowly etched by an argon ion beam of small mass. As a result, a coating film removing operation can be performed in a short time with suppressing an influence of the coating film removal on a tool base material (changes in shape and dimension) to the minimum. Since both krypton and argon are an inert gas, even upon the surface of the tool base material being exposed, the surface weakness by chemical erosion can be completely prevented. As a result, even when a hard coating film coated working tool is reproduced by re-coating the tool base material with the hard coating film, the hard coating film is coated by excellent adhesion strength.
