  • Patent number: 11945173
    Abstract: A method for processing a resin member includes: irradiating a first member comprising a resin with first light of a first wavelength that causes electronic excitation of the resin; and irradiating the resin electronically excited through irradiation with the first light with second light of a second wavelength longer than the first wavelength. A wavelength range of the second wavelength is within a wavelength range in which light absorption of the resin increases through electronic excitation of the resin.

  • Publication number: 20240102511
    Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure provides a first bearing including an inner ring, an outer ring, and cylindrical rollers. The inner ring includes: an insertion groove formed in a lower surface for inserting the cylindrical rollers between an inner raceway surface and an outer raceway surface; a blocking plug configured to block the insertion groove, the blocking plug having a part of the inner raceway surface formed thereon; and a bolt for securing the blocking plug in the insertion groove. In the mating surface of the blocking plug contacted with the bottom surface of the insertion groove, when the shortest length between the bolt insertion hole and the inner raceway surface is shown as La, and the shortest length between the bolt insertion hole and the inner peripheral surface is shown as Lb, the shortest lengths La and Lb satisfy the following formula: La/Lb>0.65.

  • Patent number: 9790920
    Abstract: A rotation driving mechanism for windmill (1) includes an annular track part (2), a rotation driving part (11), and a plurality of swinging parts (15). The annular track part (2) is disposed on one of a base-side structure and a rotation-side structure, and has a track wall part (3) and first teeth (7). The rotation driving part (11) is fixed on the other of the base-side structure and the rotation-side structure. Each swinging part (15) has a swinging part body (16a) and second teeth (16b). When a rotating shaft (13) of the rotation driving part (11) is rotated so that the swinging parts (15) are swung with maintaining a predetermined phase difference thereamong, the swinging parts (15) are relatively moved with respect to the annular track part (2).
