A laminated-type piezoelectric element 1 is provided, which comprises a first external electrode layer 33, which is located at a side area of the laminated-type piezoelectric element 1, is electrically continuous to internal electrode layers 21, and comprises plural expansible and contractible opening portions 33a in a stacking direction of the laminated-type piezoelectric element 1. As the first external electrode layer 33 is connected to the laminated-type piezoelectric element 1 with an electrically conductive adhesive member 32 and the electrically conductive adhesive member 32 is narrower than the first external electrode layer 33, the electrically conductive adhesive member 32 penetrates into the opening portions 33a of the first external electrode layer 33 to form connections in a shape of an anchor. Therefore, the first external electrode layer 33 is firmly connected to the laminated-type piezoelectric element 1.

An abrasive tool includes an electroformed layer having superabrasive grains electroplated on an outer surface of the electroformed layer, and a plurality of dimples arranged on the outer surface of the electroformed layer using a mold with projections made of gel adhesive. The concentration of the abrasive gains is regulated by changing the number of the dimples (i.e., changing a dimple-area-rate). The gel adhesive preferably has a viscosity of 500,000 cP or smaller. The dimple-area-rate is preferably from 7 to 70%.
摘要:
A station judges, when a request to transmit information to the other stations is generated, that the station subsequent thereto does not send out a transmission request packet at the time point where a gap of time .delta. (i.e., a non-signal period of time .delta.) is confirmed from the receiving of a token immediately after the generation, to send out the transmission request packet onto a control channel of an outbound bus transmission line. The station sends out an information packet onto a data channel of the outbound bus transmission line when time Tf, i.e., time required to prepare receiving in the other station (time required to tune the wavelength of a variable wavelength filter) has elapsed since a token was received immediately after sending out the transmission request packet. The other station recognizes by a token that it has a transmission request to itself, and prepares the receiving of the information packet in response to the subsequent token, and receives the information packet from the data channel at the same time when the preparation of the receiving is terminated.

An electric power steering apparatus is provided with a torque sensor for detecting manual torque input to a steering shaft of an automobile and an electric motor for generating auxiliary steering power so that a load current is applied to the electric motor in accordance with the level of manual torque detected by the torque sensor. The electric motor and a steering system are coupled together through a speed reducing mechanism for reducing the speed of rotation of the electric motor and also through a clutch mechanism. The electric power steering system is further provided with an actuating mechanism for controlling the clutch mechanism such that it is engaged only when the electric motor is rotating. Therefore, the speed reducing mechanism and the electric motor have no adverse effects on the return of the steering wheel.

A torque transmission device is provided wherein a rotary housing is connected to one of front and rear drive shafts which respectively drive front and rear axles of a four-wheel drive vehicle, while a rotary shaft coaxially carried by the rotary housing is connected to the other of the front and rear drive shafts. The housing receives therein a multiple disc clutch device for transmitting rotational power between the housing and the shaft through friction engagement between alternately arranged outer and inner clutch discs which are respectively rotatable bodily with the housing and the shaft. The housing also receives an axially movable piston to press the clutch discs for friction engagement. An end wall of the housing or an end cap secured thereto and a facing end surface of the piston define an axially narrow circuit chamber, within which a rotary with several radially extending blade portions is received to be rotated by the shaft. Several space sections into which the chamber is divided by the rotor blade portions are filled with silicon oil of a high viscosity. When the rotational speed difference occurs between the rotor and the housing, a pressure is generated within each of the space sections thanks to the high viscosity of the silicon oil and is directly applied to the piston, whereby rotational power is transmitted from the housing to the rotary shaft and vice versa.
