Abstract: A ridgeline between the thinning face and the flank face includes a first thinning portion contiguous to the outer cutting edge, and a second thinning portion contiguous to the first thinning portion. When viewed in a direction along the central axis, the first thinning portion is linear and the second thinning portion is curved. When viewed in the direction along the central axis, the first thinning portion, and a boundary between the first thinning portion and the second thinning portion are located rearward in a rotational direction relative to a first straight line, and are located forward in the rotational direction relative to a second straight line, the first straight line being a straight line passing through the central axis and parallel to the first thinning portion, and the second straight line being a straight line perpendicular to the first straight line.

Abstract: A method of exhaust gas denitration in which nitrogen oxides contained in a low-temperature exhaust gas are removed at a high NOx removal efficiency. A injection pipe (11) is disposed in a flue (10) for an exhaust gas (x) so that the pipe protrudes from the inner wall of the flue. A hydrocarbon compound (b) and a nitrogen compound (a) are supplied through the injection pipe (11) into the flue (10). The hydrocarbon compound (b) is burned to form a combustion region (s). In this combustion region (s), amine radicals are produced from the nitrogen compound (a). These amine radicals are mixed with nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas (x) to reductively remove the nitrogen oxides.

Abstract: To produce a cell culture membrane having biocompatibility utilizing DNA of natural resources and a cell culture kit, the cell culture membrane having DNA ionically-cross-linked with calcium ions or magnesium ions is provided. To produce a porous material utilizing DNA, a production method for a cell culture membrane and a production method for a porous material, fine pores of 1 nm to 100 ?m in diameter are prepared in the porous material.

Abstract: A denitration process for removing nitrogen oxides contained in low-temperature exhaust gas at a high denitration rate; namely, a denitration process for reductively removing nitrogen oxides contained in an exhaust gas (x) containing nitrogen monoxide and sulfur dioxide. The process comprises a preliminary step 2 of partially oxidizing nitrogen monoxide in the exhaust gas to form nitrogen dioxide, a radical formation step 3 of adding a nitrogen compound and a hydrocarbon compound to a high-temperature zone 22 to form amine radicals (r), and a denitration step 4 of mixing the amine radicals (r) with the pretreated gas (p) containing nitrogen monoxide and nitrogen dioxide that was discharged from the preliminary step 2. As a result, nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas (x) are reductively decomposed.

Abstract: An irreversible circuit module includes a permanent magnet for providing a DC magnetic field for a magnetic member; an assembly having a magnetic member provided with a plurality of conductors being common on one end and serving as input and output terminals for high-frequency signals on the other end; a plurality of load capacitors connected to the conductors, the load capacitors being formed in a laminate having a conductor layer: a first transmission line connected to any of the conductors; and a second transmission line coupled magnetically to the first transmission line. The first transmission line and the second transmission line are included in the laminate. The assembly is received in a hole in the middle of the laminate.

Abstract: A storage medium life management method, storage device and storage system detect the life of a storage medium. Medium life management information indicating the read/write state of a medium is recorded on the storage medium. A drive reads out the medium life management information from the storage medium when the storage medium is loaded, and updates the medium life management information pursuant to the operation of at least one of the reading and writing of storage medium. Then, the drive writes medium life management information to the storage medium when the storage medium s unloaded. This medium life management information is used for determination of the life of a medium in either a drive or host. Since management information corresponding to an actual read/write state can be obtained, the deterioration of a storage medium can be accurately detected.

Abstract: A storage medium life management method, storage device and storage system detect the life of a storage medium (1). Medium life management information (14) indicating the read/write state of a medium is recorded on the storage medium (1). A drive (5) reads out the medium life management information (14) from the storage medium (1) when the storage medium (1) is loaded, and updates the medium life management information (14) pursuant to the operation of at least one of the reading and writing of storage medium (1). Then, the drive (5) writes medium life management information (14) to the storage medium (1) when the storage medium (1) is unloaded. This medium life management information (14) is used for determination of the life of a medium in either a drive (5) or host (4). Since management information corresponding to an actual read/write state can be obtained, the deterioration of a storage medium can be accurately detected.

Abstract: A library apparatus where multiple moving commands generated by several upper-order units are conveyed to a director. The moving commands may be sequentially conveyed through the same channel or may be simultaneously conveyed through different channels. The moving commands are then conveyed to an accessor controller which includes a queuing table for storing the commands. The queuing table permits the accessor controller to receive additional commands prior to the execution of the previous command. Therefore, the processing speed of the system is increased. Next, the commands are conveyed to a plurality of accessors which transfer the medium cartridges to the desired location. Several accessors may be operated simultaneously in parallel. The simultaneous operation of several accessors also increases the efficiency and speed of the system.

Abstract: An image processing welding control method comprises detection of isothermal pattern of a weld zone in the welding state through photographing the weld zone by an infrared camera; calculation of the area of the region defined by the isothermal line detected; comparison of the area with a standard area which is obtained in advance; control of welding heat input such that the area will be substantially the same as the standard area whereby a suitable welding heat is input the welding portion; detection of an asymmetric extent of said isothermal pattern; and controlling the torch position such that the asymmetric extent will be within a predetermined value, so that the torch will be strictly aligned with the welding groove center. This method enables two kinds of welding control methods, torch position control and welding heat input control, based on the same image information.
