Abstract: A fusion sheet includes: a base material layer including a first surface and a second surface; a fusion base part partially stacked to the first surface of the base material layer and fusible to a wire-like transmission member; and an adhesive base part partially stacked to the second surface of the base material layer and having larger adhesive strength with an adhesive member than the base material layer. A first section and a second section are provided along an extension direction of the base material layer. The first section is a section where the adhesive base part is stacked to the base material layer other than a laminated section where the adhesive base part is stacked. The second section is a section where the adhesive base part is stacked to the base material layer other than a laminated section where the fusion base part is stacked.

Abstract: A brake disc for a railway vehicle includes: a disc plate portion that has a sliding portion of a front face; a plurality of radial fins that are provided on the rear face of a disc plate portion, and that have a shape that extends in the radial direction of the disc plate portion; and a circumferential rib that is provided between each pair of adjacent radial fins, and that has a shape that extends in the circumferential direction of the disc plate portion. A flow path for air is formed between the pair of radial fins, and the flow path for air is narrowed by the circumferential rib. On the circumferential rib, a gradual slope for suppressing fluctuations in an airflow that passes between the pair of radial fins is provided from a base part to a top part.

Abstract: There are provided a method for manufacturing a wet granular body of an electrode active material mixture from which granular bodies with almost uniform grain size can be obtained, the wet granular body itself, a method for manufacturing an electrode plate using the same, and a manufacturing apparatus for the same. There are provided mixing of obtaining a wet powder body in a pendular state in which solid-matter powder includes at least electrode active material powder and conductive material powder, liquid components exist in facing portions of solid powder but the liquid components are not linked one another in the facing portions, and spaces among the solid powder are entirely linked, and granulating of obtaining an assembly of the wet granular body of the electrode active material mixture by forming the wet powder obtained in the mixing process into grains.

Abstract: Disclosed is a brake disc for a railway vehicle including: a disc plate portion with a sliding portion in a surface; and a through hole that penetrates the disc plate portion from a front surface to a back surface of the disc plate portion, in which a bolt for fastening the disc plate portion to a wheel of the railway vehicle is inserted. An inclined surface is formed at an edge of an opening of the through hole at a front side of the disc plate portion, and the inclined surface extends larger in a circumferential direction of the disc plate portion than in a radial direction of the disc plate portion.

Abstract: A brake disc for a railway vehicle is provided in which noise arising from the brake disc during high-speed rotation of a wheel is reduced by a large margin. A brake disc for a railway vehicle includes: a disc plate portion that has a sliding portion on a front face thereof; a plurality of through-holes that pass from the front face to a rear face of the disc plate portion and are arranged in alignment in the circumferential direction of the disc plate portion, the through-holes allowing bolts to pass therethrough for fastening together the disc plate portion and a wheel of the railway vehicle; and a groove provided to link a plurality of through-holes on the front face side of the disc plate portion.

Abstract: A bearing apparatus has a porous bush (9) impregnated with lubricant and a shaft (10) supported by the bush (9). The shaft (10) has a quench hardened section (10a) formed in the form of a projection, and an indentation (10b) which is formed between portions of the quench hardened section (10a) and traps lubricant flowing out of the bush (9).
