Abstract: A cutting tool including: a tool body (2) provided with an insert support seat (5) including a major seat surface (5a) that supports a bearing surface of a cutting insert, a plurality of seat side surfaces (5b, 5c) that supports side surfaces of the cutting insert at different positions, and a thinned portion (5d) continuous with the major seat surface and the seat side surfaces; and a cutting insert attached to the insert support seat, wherein a ridge at a position where the major seat surface and the thinned portion intersect, a ridge at a position where the seat side surface and the thinned portion intersect, and a ridge at a position where the thinned portions continuous with each other intersect are each formed of a convex arc curved surface.

Abstract: A cutting insert includes a first surface and a second surface each of which is polygonal and that face away from each other; a side surface that is continuous with the first surface and a side surface that is continuous with the second surface; a cutting edge formed along each of a ridge where the first surface and the side surface intersect and a ridge where the second surface and the side surface intersect; a bearing surface formed in each of a part the first surface and a part of the second surface adjacent to an insert center, the bearing surfaces disposed parallel to each other; and a recessed portion that separates the side surface that is continuous with the first surface from the side surface that is continuous with the second surface. The cutting edge includes three corner edges, a first cutting edge, and a second cutting edge, the first and second cutting edges being continuous with each other and located between each pair of the corner edges.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polyurethane elastic fibers obtained by spinning a polyurethane resin. The polyurethane resin includes, as constituent units, a diol (a1) having a number average molecular weight of 500 to 10,000, an organic diisocyanate (b), and a chain extender (a2). The total concentration of urethane groups and urea groups in the polyurethane resin is 1.25 to 2.50 mmol/g based on the weight of the polyurethane resin. Hard segment domains of the polyurethane resin have an average domain size of 20 to 30 nm as measured with an atomic force microscope.

Abstract: An exhaust gas purification catalytic device 1 contains Pt, Pd, and Rh as catalytic metals. The catalytic metal Pt is loaded on silica-alumina which serves as a support, and Pt-loaded silica-alumina obtained by loading the Pt on the silica-alumina is contained in a catalytic layer with which an exhaust gas contacts first.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a display device for work machines that is capable of obtaining, when required, information required for the operation of a work machine or a work device, without being conscious of the information acquisition. A display device for a combine being a work machine capable of interruption display of any information on a display screen and wherein display of information in relation to the combine or a harvesting unit or threshing unit, etc. being work devices provided in the combine, occurs via an interruption display screen being one embodiment of interruption display, when a prescribed operation happens in relation to the combine, the harvesting unit, or the threshing unit, etc.

Abstract: A reference mirror 21 is disposed on a table 2, a first laser displacement sensor L1 for measuring a machined surface of a workpiece W and a second laser displacement sensor L2 for measuring a reference surface of the reference mirror 21 are disposed to a tool holder 3. A measurement motion applying section 24 causes the table 2 and the tool holder 3 to relatively move in a sinusoidal trajectory, and a sensitivity calculating section 28 calculates sensitivity of the first laser displacement sensor L1 based on machined-surface displacement data and reference-surface displacement data which are measured during the relative movement. Subsequently, an actual shape data calculating section 29 corrects the machined-surface displacement data based on the calculated sensitivity, and calculates actual shape data of the machined surface by taking the difference between the corrected machined-surface displacement data and the reference-surface displacement data.
