Abstract:
A control panel unit has a control lever operable by a driver seated at a driver's seat of a utility vehicle. The panel unit includes a base panel which covers the control lever except for its control grip area and a guide slot defined in the base panel along an operational displacement of the control lever. The panel unit further includes an inclined panel portion inclined by a predetermined angle relative to the base panel so as to orient its surface toward the driver and extending adjacent and along the length of the guide slot. A display face is formed in the surface of the inclined panel portion and configured for displaying operational positions of the lever.
Abstract:
The present invention offers a minute-sized magnet with superior magnetic energy product (BH)max and coercivity iHc, as well as superior anti-corrosive properties. This magnet is comprised of an alloy comprised of 35-55 atomic % platinum, 0.001-10 atomic % third element, which is one or more elements from groups IVa, Va, IIIb, or IVb, and a remainder of iron and other unavoidable impurities. The average crystal size of this FePt alloy is 0.3 &mgr;m. By mixing an FePt alloy with a specific element in a designated ratio, an FePt magnet with more excellent characteristics than ones made from previous alloys was successfully made.

Abstract:
A magnetic compass includes: a three-axis magnetic sensor for detecting geomagnetic vector as geomagnetic components in directions of three orthogonal axes x, y, and z; a data-plane calculating unit for calculating a data plane on which output data of the three-axis magnetic sensor are present in a sensor coordinate system of the three axes x, y, and z; a unit vector calculating unit for calculating unit vectors of a horizontal coordinate system of three orthogonal axes X, Y, and Z whose Z-axis runs vertically and X-Y plane defines a horizontal plane relative to the earth; a horizontal coordinate system conversion unit for converting geomagnetic components in the sensor coordinate system detected by the three-axis magnetic sensor into geomagnetic components in the horizontal coordinate system; an azimuth calculating unit for calculating azimuth based on the converted geomagnetic components in the horizontal coordinate system; and a display unit for displaying the calculated azimuth.
Abstract:
A method of applying a viscous fluid material for preventing a viscous fluid material (40) from accumulating on a contact type slot nozzle (30) when applying the viscous fluid material (40) onto an object to be applied (50) which has surface irregularities by using the contact type slot nozzle (30). The method of applying a viscous fluid material includes: moving the object (50) in a predetermined transport direction (X); bringing the nozzle (30) provided to a slot (35) into contact with the object (50) that is being moved; dispensing the viscous fluid material (40) from the slot (35) to apply the viscous fluid material (40) onto the object (50); and ejecting a heated compression gas on the downstream side of the slot (35) in the predetermined transport direction (X) to press the viscous fluid material (40) applied on the object (50) from the slot (35) against the object (50) by the ejected compression gas.
Abstract:
A dirigible drive wheel assembly includes a transmitting and steering shaft extending approximately vertically, with an axis thereof inclined, for drivably connecting an axle of a wheel to a transmission shaft, a first driving gear disposed in a lower end region of the transmitting and steering shaft, a first driven gear mounted on the axle and meshed with the first driving gear, a second driven gear disposed in an upper end region of the transmitting and steering shaft, a second driving gear mounted on the transmission shaft and meshed with the second driven gear, a second gear case for covering the second driving gear and the second driven gear, and a first gear case for covering the first driven gear and the first driving gear. A first bearing is disposed between the first gear case and a lower end of the second gear case. Through the first bearing the lower end of the second gear case is rotatably supported by the first gear case. An arm extends from the first gear case for holding an upper end of the second gear case to be rotatable about the axis. A second bearing and a third bearing are arranged at opposite sides of the first driven gear, through which the first gear case is rotatably supported by the axle. The third bearing is located below the first bearing.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a tungsten sputtering target includes pressing a high purity tungsten powder to form a pressed compact, first sintering the pressed compact at a temperature of 1450-1700° C. for one hour or longer after the pressed compact is heated at a heating-up rate of 2-5° C./min on the way to a maximum sintering temperature, second sintering the pressed compact to form a sintered body at a temperature of 1900° C. or higher for 5 hours or longer, working the sintered body to obtain a shape of a target, subjecting the target to a grinding work of at least one of rotary grinding and polishing, and subjecting the target to a finishing work of at least one of etching and reverse sputtering.
