Abstract:
The invention is a cellulose derivative wherein some of the carboxyl groups of the cellulose derivative carboxymethylcellulose are replaced with —CO—NH—X—CO—Y—Z, and a hydrogel of the same. In the formula, X is a C1-10 divalent hydrocarbon group, Y is a divalent group derived from polyalkylene oxide having oxygen atoms at both ends, and Z is a C1-24 hydrocarbon group or —CO—R4, where R4 is a C1-23 hydrocarbon group. The hydrogel has excellent viscoelasticity and can be injected into prescribed sites with injecting devices such as syringes, and it can thus be utilized as a medical gel or adhesion barrier.

Abstract:
An in-vehicle apparatus, used in a vehicle having a speed limit release mode, is configured to stop sending trouble occurrence information to an information collection center when the speed limit release mode is being turned on. Stopping of the information sending allows a hard disk drive in the in-vehicle apparatus not to have an access thereto, thereby decreasing possibility of hard disk related problems in the vehicle.
Abstract:
This discloses an electronic component of a miniature size to be used as e.g. automobile engine peripheral components, such as an exhaust gas oxygen sensor, a heat sensor, and a heater. More specifically, the invention provides an electronic component integral with a heat resistant terminal that is pressure-fitting or shrink-fitted on a ceramic element of the electronic component. This electronic components shows great mechanical and electrical performance, withstanding the high temperature environment over 400 and up to 800.degree. C. to which the ceramic element of the component required expose.The terminal incorporated in this high temperature electronic component comprises a plurality of metal wire leads that electrically connect to a surface of a bar-like ceramic element, at least two ceramic insulators that surround the leads, and a thermal resistant metal ring that shrink-fits or pressure-fits around the ceramic insulators so that the metal leads press in a radial direction holding the element firmly.The thermal resistant metal ring to be used for this shrink fit or pressure fit is preferably made of an alloy, such as Incoloy 909, Inconel 650, and Waspaloy, and the like, thereby preventing the metal leads from coming off at high temperature.The terminal integrated with the ceramic element by the shrink fitting method according to the invention, minimizes the number of parts, attaining a miniaturization of such high temperature electronic component at a low cost.
Abstract:
A wire electric discharge machining method capable of improving a machining accuracy of a corner portion. A machining feed speed is gradually reduced from a point A before entering a corner portion machining between points C and D, and in the corner portion between points C and D the machining is performed at a fixed feed speed. The feed speed is gradually increased from the point D, where the machining of the corner portion is completed, and is restored to the original speed. In accordance with the change of the feed speed, an off-state time of the voltage applied between a wire and a workpiece is increased from a point B and is reduced from a point E after completing the corner portion machining, to restore the original off-state time at a point F. Further, a flow rate of machining fluid is reduced depending on the corner portion. The feed speed, the off-state time and the flow rate of the machining fluid are controlled by automatically changing them in dependence on a curvature of the corner portion. A warp of the wire electrode is substantially prevented at the beginning of and during the corner portion machining, to thereby improve the machining accuracy of the corner portion.

A ceramic-steel joined body includes a ceramic body of silicon nitride, zirconia, silicon carbide, boron nitride, and alumina. The joined body also includes a steel body which has its surface carburized so that the hardness of the surface is greater than the hardness of the inside of the steel body. The ceramic body and the steel body are thermally joined using a brazing material of Ag--Cu--Ti, Ag--Cu--In--Ti, Ag--Ti, Cu--Ti, Ag--Cu--Ni--Ti, Ag--Cu or Ag--Cu--In.
Abstract:
In heat-connection between metal and ceramic, martensite stainless steel or martensite heat-resistant steel which can be hardened a gas or vacuum after having been heated beyond the quenching temperature thereof are used as metal. The heat connection is brazing or shrinkage fit at 800.degree. C. or more. Stress strain caused by a difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the two can be reduced. Further, since the metal can be connected to ceramic while hardening the metal, man-hour can be reduced markedly.
Abstract:
A wire disconnection position detecting apparatus of a wire feed path in which wire disconnection is caused and the causes of the disconnection in this section set in advance. Upon disconnection of a wire, as a voltage for disconnection position detection applied to the wire through a conductor is detected by a microprocessor through an electrode disposed on the lower-course side of the conductor (S3), the value in a register for rewinding amount storage is updated, with rewind of the wire by a rewinding motor, in accordance with pulses delivered from a rotary encoder (S4, S5), and thereafter, the rotation of the motor and the application of the voltage are stopped when a cut end of the wire passes the electrode (S6 to S8). Based on the result of comparison between a detected rewinding amount and the distances between the electrode and individual parts arranged along the wire feed path, the microprocessor detects the section of the wire feed path in which the wire is snapped (S9), and displays the wire disconnection section and the causes of the disconnection in this section, in the form of messages, on a CRT screen (S10).
Abstract:
A wire discharge machining power source controls an average machining voltage value applied between a wire electrode (P) and a workpiece (W) to be zero to prevent galvanic corrosion of the workpiece (W). A reverse voltage application time control circuit (2) detects the average machining voltage value and generates a pulse (S5) having a pulse width corresponding to a detected value. A reverse voltage regulating circuit (1) detects a difference between a reference voltage and a voltage applied between a transistor (T2) and a resistor (R2) upon application of the reverse voltage through the transistor (T2) and the resistor (R2), and supplies a difference signal, which corresponds to the detected difference, as an ON control signal to the transistor (T2) for a period corresponding to the width of the pulse (S5), thereby controlling the reverse voltage value and setting the average machining voltage value to zero.
