  • Publication number: 20250052270
    Abstract: Provided is a feed mechanism that has a small number of parts and that is suitable for downsizing. A feed mechanism (1) includes: a base (2); a movable body (3); a feed screw (4) configured to move the movable body (3) relative to the base (2); and a torque generation member (15) formed with a female thread (15b) that is threadedly engaged with the feed screw (4). The movable body (3) is formed with a housing hole (12) extending in a direction orthogonal to the feed screw (4), and the torque generation member (15) is housed in the housing hole (12).

  • Patent number: 12221705
    Abstract: Provided is an alloyed galvanized steel sheet with excellent resistance to cracking in resistance welding at a welded portion, even if crystal orientations of an Fe-based electroplating layer and a cold-rolled steel sheet are integrated at a high ratio at the interface between the Fe-based electroplating layer and the cold-rolled steel sheet. The alloyed galvanized steel sheet has a Si-containing cold-rolled steel sheet containing Si in an amount of 0.1 mass % to 3.0 mass %; an Fe-based electroplating layer formed on at least one surface of the Si-containing cold-rolled steel sheet with a coating weight per surface exceeding 20.0 g/m2, and an alloyed galvanized layer formed on the Fe-based electroplating layer, where crystal orientations of the Fe-based electroplating layer and the Si-containing cold-rolled steel sheet are integrated at a ratio of more than 50% at the interface between the Fe-based electroplating layer and the Si-containing cold-rolled steel sheet.

  • Patent number: 7329181
    Abstract: The gaming machine has the game result display means including the reels (3L, 3C, 3R), the liquid crystal display device (31) arranged at a more front side than a display area of the reels (3L, 3C, 3R) when seen from a front side of the gaming machine, and the image displayed on the liquid crystal display device (31) is generated by synthesizing a plurality of images based on the priority order, and the symbols display areas (21L, 21C, 21R), through which the reels (3L, 3C, 3R) is seen and recognized, is realized by displaying the splite image (100) with higher priority order among the plural images.

  • Patent number: 6192095
    Abstract: Radioactive stents used in angioplasty on sclerotic coronary arteries without the risk of restenosis can be produced by ion injecting 133Xe into the surfaces of stents as a nuclide that has a shorter half-life and emits a smaller maximum energy of &bgr;-rays than 32p Uniform ion injection is accomplished using an apparatus capable of uniform irradiation of the stents with 133Xe ion beams. The source of 133Xe is a nuclear fission product generated from 235U in the fuel rods in nuclear reactor.
