Abstract

A machine tool includes a mounting table, a tool, a shade detector, and a tool controller. A workpiece is placed on the mounting table. The tool includes a tip. The shade detector is fixed on the mounting table, provides an optical path of a laser light, and detects a shade state of the laser light. The tool controller is connected to the mounting table via a supporting structure and controls an orientation and a position of the tool. A reference point associated with the tool is provided to the tool controller. The tool controller corrects a position of the tip based on a difference between a position obtained by calculation of the reference point in the case where the tip is matched with a measurement position P of a laser light and a position of the reference point when the tip portion is actually matched with a measurement position while keeping the orientation of a tool.

Abstract

A method for machining grooves in the surface of a workpiece in which a dummy groove is machined in the surface of the workpiece by moving a cutting tool relative to the workpiece in a first machining direction of the workpiece, then orienting the cutting tool 180 degrees as compared to the first machining, and subsequently second machining the dummy groove by moving the cutting tool in a second direction opposite to the first direction. A displacement of a cutting edge of the cutting tool, caused by the first and second machining of the dummy groove is measured. A groove is machined with the cutting tool in a forward stroke and then a return stoke with the cutting tool rotated 180 degrees between the strokes. A relative position between the workpiece and the cutting tool during the forward and return strokes is corrected so as to eliminate the displacement.

A flow control valve can control a flow rate of the hydraulic fluid discharged from the rod-side chamber. A control device includes an OP control part which starts open control driving the flow control valve to the opening direction after the start of supply of the hydraulic fluid from the accumulator to the head-side chamber conditional on the detection pressure of the head-use pressure sensor rising up to the predetermined set value.

Abstract

The light extraction efficiency of a deep ultraviolet LED is increased. The deep ultraviolet LED has a design wavelength λ, and includes, sequentially arranged from a side opposite to a substrate, a reflecting electrode layer, a metal layer, a p-GaN contact layer, a p-AlGaN layer that is transparent to light with the wavelength λ, one of a multi-quantum barrier layer or an electron blocking layer, a barrier layer, and a quantum well layer. A thickness of the p-AlGaN layer is less than or equal to 100 nm. A reflecting photonic crystal periodic structure having a plurality of voids is provided in a region in a thickness direction including at least an interface between the p-GaN contact layer and the p-AlGaN layer such that the reflecting photonic crystal periodic structure does not extend beyond the p-AlGaN layer in a direction of the substrate. Maximum light extraction efficiency is obtained when a distance from end faces of the voids in the direction of the substrate to the quantum well layer is greater than or equal to a total thickness of the barrier layer and the multi-quantum barrier layer (or the electron blocking layer) and less than or equal to 80 nm, and a depth h of each void is less than or equal to a total thickness of the p-AlGaN layer and the p-GaN contact layer. The reflecting photonic crystal periodic structure has a photonic band gap that opens for TE polarized components. A period a of the photonic crystal periodic structure satisfies a Bragg condition with respect to light with the design wavelength λ. An order m in a formula of the Bragg condition satisfies 1≤m≤5. Provided that a radius of each void is R, R/a with which the photonic band gap becomes maximum is satisfied.

Abstract

A flow rate control valve configuring a meter-out circuit of an injection cylinder is an overlap type where a first port starts to be opened by a spool passing through an overlapping range. The control device holds a characteristic table linking a command value of a control command to the flow rate control valve and a velocity of a plunger including also the movement of the plunger which occurs due to a gap flow even if the spool is located in the overlapping range. Further, the control device specifies the command value corresponding to the target velocity set by operation of the input device based on the characteristic table, performs open control based on this command value, then performs the feedback control for realizing the target velocity.

Abstract

A control device of an injection apparatus outputs a control command to a hydraulic pressure device to perform injection by supplying hydraulic fluid to the back of an injection piston 15 from an accumulator 25 and, at this time, to execute speed control for controlling the speed of the plunger by an opening degree of an injection control valve. Further, the control device outputs a control command to the hydraulic pressure device to perform boosting by opening a booster valve to supply hydraulic fluid to the back of the booster piston and pressurizing the hydraulic fluid behind the injection piston by the booster piston and, at this time, to execute pressure control for controlling the pressure of the molding material by an opening degree of the injection control valve. Further, the control device can start outputting a control command for pressure control after start of outputting a control command for opening the booster valve in transition from injection to boosting.

Abstract

Provided is a method for manufacturing a high-quality porous film. Here, while the porous film is being manufactured through forming micropores by stretching, a raw film is prevented from slipping on the surfaces of the respective rolls as much as possible even though the raw film includes oil or liquid paraffin as a solvent. The method is for manufacturing a porous film through forming micropores by successive biaxial stretching. A tensile force applied to the raw film F transferring from the longitudinal stretching machine (10) to the transverse stretching machine (50) is set not less than a stretching force necessary for the longitudinal stretching, and thus the raw film is prevented from slipping on a contact surface between the raw film and each roll of the longitudinal stretching machine (10).

Abstract

An inverter includes a voltage command generator generating a voltage command value according to an externally specified voltage value, a PWM signal generator generating a PWM signal according to the voltage command value and frequency command value, and a switching unit generating a three-phase AC power according to the PWM signal. The voltage command generator decreases the voltage command value if the output current increases, to prevent the rotation speed of a prime move from suddenly changing. If the output current exceeds a preset upper current threshold, the voltage command value is clamped at a preset minimum output voltage, thereby securing the minimum output voltage for an increase in the output current.

Abstract

a setting a current limit ratio according to a rotation speed of a synchronous motor 13 and controls a converter current according to the current limit ratio. The current controller sets the current limit ratio to 70% if the synchronous motor is at a rotational speed equal to an idle speed of an engine 11. Until the rotational speed of the synchronous motor reaches a rated speed, the output current limiter linearly increases the current limit ratio up to 100%. With this, the rotational speed of the engine becomes reasonably increasable even if a sudden load increase occurs when the engine is operating at low speed.

Abstract

An inverter generator includes a motor, an electric generator and an ECU generating a pulse at each predetermined rotation angle of the motor. Estimating means estimates an initial electrical angle of alternating voltage produced by the generator from the pulse and calculates a phase shift angle to estimate continuous electrical angle of the alternating voltage. A converter converts the alternating current electric power into direct current electric power under d-q control based on the phase shift angle. An inverter converts the direct current electric power into alternating current output electric power.
