Abstract: A microwave processing device of the present disclosure is provided with a heating chamber, a microwave generating unit, an amplifying unit, a power supply unit, a detecting unit, a control unit, and a storage unit. The microwave generating unit generates microwave having an optional frequency in a predetermined frequency band. The amplifying unit amplifies an output level of the microwave. The power supply unit radiates the microwave amplified by the amplifying unit into the heating chamber as incident electric power. The detecting unit detects reflected electric power, which returns to the power supply unit from the heating chamber, from among the incident electric power. The control unit controls the microwave generating unit and the amplifying unit. The storage unit stores a value of the reflected electric power, together with a frequency of the microwave and an elapsed time from the start of heating.

Abstract: An aluminum component and a method for manufacturing the aluminum component has a forming step and a cutting step. Projections (f) extend in an axial direction and are continuously arranged in a circumferential direction. End portions of the projections (f) are cut along a processing line having a predetermined processing diameter (D) providing splines (S) of predetermined dimensions. Side surfaces (fa) are inclined to be tapered in a direction from a base end to a projecting end. A portion of each side surface (fa) adjacent to the projecting end is an inclined surface (fb) with an inclination angle less than an inclination angle of a portion of the side surface that is adjacent to the base end.

Abstract: A coil is configured with stacked n turns (where n is an integer of 2 or more) of spirally wound conductive wire having a rectangular cross-section. A k-th turn (where k is an integer and 1?k?n) of the coil has at least a straight portion and a corner portion extending from an end part of the straight portion. On an outer peripheral surface of the corner portion, there are formed at least a first bent portion bent toward an inner peripheral side and a second bent portion bent toward the outer peripheral side, and curvature C1 of the first bent portion is different from curvature C2 of second bent portion.

Abstract: A method for forming an undercut portion of a formed article formed by plastically deforming a plate-shaped workpiece and a method for manufacturing a formed article having an undercut portion are provided. In these methods, the undercut portion is formed by press working performed using a punch and a die. These methods make the forming work more economical and more efficient. An outer portion of a plate member 91 (plate-shaped workpiece) located outward of a portion where an inwardly inclined portion 94 (undercut portion) is to be formed is bent by an angle determined such that an undercut surface 94a which constitutes the inwardly inclined portion 94 becomes parallel to the pressing direction of a punch 110. In addition, a peripheral wall portion 93 inclined by an angle corresponding to the bending angle is formed on the outer portion.

Abstract: A transformer has a bar-shaped ferrite core, an inner winding wound directly around the ferrite core, an outer winding wound over the inner winding, and a dielectric shield surrounding the outer winding. The outer winding has its circumference covered by a dielectric sheath, and has an intermediate winding portion between its winding start end and its winding stop end. The dielectric sheath in the intermediate winding portion is spaced from each other along the axis of the ferrite core to leave thereat a gap which is filled with a molding material. By provision of the gap between the dielectric sheath of the outer winding, the molding material forming the dielectric shield can be easy to flow in between the dielectric sheath of the outer winding and the inner winding, avoiding the void from appearing between the inner and outer windings for attaining stable electrical characteristic.

The preparation area is positioned in front of a worker facing the conveyor. Further, the preparation area has a component storage means for storing a desired number of components and a component feeding means for feeding the component to a position that the worker can take the component. Therefore, the worker can take out the component without turning around, since the worker can take out the component from his or her front side.
