Abstract:
A sewing machine includes a sewing device, a processor, and a memory. The sewing device is configured to form stitches on a sewing workpiece. The memory is to store computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, instruct the processor to perform processes including acquiring embroidery data, generating stitched marker data, causing the sewing device to sew the at least one stitched marker, causing the sewing device to start sewing an embroidery pattern, identifying a pattern to be sewn when the sewing of the embroidery pattern is stopped, detecting at least one of a second sewing position and a second sewing angle when the sewing of the embroidery pattern is stopped, setting at least one of a third sewing position and a third sewing angle, correcting data to be used to sew the pattern to be sewn, and causing the sewing device to restart sewing the embroidery pattern.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for estimating, within a short time, the life of a cable insulating coating material containing an antioxidant in a suitable concentration based on the rate of decrease of the antioxidant and on the critical concentration of the antioxidant at which oxidative degradation rapidly proceeds. The method tests the coating material to examine its life, the coating material including a base polymer, and an antioxidant having a functional group suppressing an oxidative deteriorative reaction of the base polymer. The method includes performing a thermal degradation test on the coating material; determining the degradation levels and degradation rates of the coating material at two or more time points in the thermal degradation test, based on the ratio of the absorbance of the functional group of the antioxidant to the absorbance of the base polymer; and thereby evaluating the life of the coating material.
Abstract:
A sewing machine includes at least one detecting portion, a processor, and a memory. The at least one detecting portion is configured to detect an ultrasonic wave that has been transmitted from a transmission source. The memory is configured to store computer-readable instructions that instruct the sewing machine to execute steps including identifying a position of the transmission source of the ultrasonic wave based on information pertaining to the ultrasonic wave that has been detected by the at least one detecting portion, and controlling sewing based on the position of the transmission source that has been identified.
Abstract:
An electrophoretic device includes: an electrophoretic layer including a plurality of first particles having a relatively high mobility and charged with negative electricity and a plurality of second particles having a relatively low mobility and charged with positive electricity; a first electrode and a second electrode facing each other via the electrophoretic layer; and a control unit applying a first voltage between the first and the second electrodes to control such that the first electrode is at a higher potential than the second electrode and applying a pulse-form second voltage between the first and the second electrodes intermittently a plurality of number of times to control such that the first electrode is at a lower potential than the second electrode, each second voltage applied by the control unit the plurality of number of times having an approximately same pulse width and an approximately same voltage value, as well as the number of times of application of the second voltage being determined based on a desired gradation.
Abstract:
