Abstract:
A non-contacting position detecting apparatus includes a laser unit having a light emitting portion and a light receiving portion for irradiating laser light upon a detection point of a subject for measurement and receiving laser light reflected from the detection point to recognize the distance to the detection point. An arm is capable of moving the laser unit in the direction of at least one axis of a rectangular coordinate system. A coordinate detecting member is provided for detecting coordinates of the arm. Coordinates of the detection point are recognized in accordance with the coordinates of the arm when the positional relationship between the detection point and the laser unit reaches a predetermined relationship. The laser unit includes a needle-like indicating member for indicating the crossing point between extension lines of an optic axis of laser light radiated from the light emitting portion and an optic axis of laser light received by the light receiving portion when the detection point and the laser unit reach the predetermined positional relationship.
Abstract:
The invention is a process for producing a rubber composition containing at least one rubber component (A) selected from natural rubbers and synthetic diene rubbers, a filler containing an inorganic filler (B), a silane coupling agent (C) and a vulcanization accelerator (D), wherein the rubber composition is kneaded in multiple stages, the rubber component (A), all or a portion of the inorganic filler (B), all or a portion of the silane coupling agent (C) and the vulcanization accelerator (D) are added and kneaded in the first stage of kneading, and the specific energy for kneading in the first stage is from 0.05 to 1.50 kWh/kg. The specific energy is obtained by dividing the power consumption by the motor in the kneading device in the first stage of kneading by the total mass of the rubber composition therein.
Abstract:
A brushless motor for a blower fan unit is comprised of a heat sink which has a heat radiating portion and a pair of supporting legs extending from both opposite sides of the heat radiating portion. A free end portion of each supporting leg is in contact with an electric circuit board. A pressing member has a pressing portion, a pair of positioning portions perpendicularly extending from opposite end portions of the pressing portion, and a pair of connecting portions projecting from the pair of positioning portions respectively. The connecting portions are engaged with supporting legs of the heat sink respectively. The pressing portion presses switching devices to the heat sink. The positioning portions are inserted into the through-holes of the electric circuit board respectively.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a method for forming compacts having a hole extending along a direction crossing the compressing direction. In the method, a powder or a pre-compressed compact and a core for forming a hole are assembled in a cavity. The core and a die are set in a condition that the core can move in the compressing direction. The punch compresses the powder and forms a compact. The core does not engage with the die, whereby the core is not exerted with load. Therefore, the method does not need control of compressing for avoiding exertion of load on the core, and can prevent transformation or break of the core. The compact in which the core is inserted is drawn out from the die, so that damages such as break or crumble of the compact is prevented in drawing out.
