第１０回知的財産翻訳検定試験＜第６回和文英訳＞【１級・機械工学】標準解答[問 1][0002]In recent years, products in which superelastic members formed of superelastic alloys (e.g., NiTi alloys) are joined with metal or alloy members have been provided in the form of, forexample, frames for eyeglasses, orthodontic wires, dental implants, medical catheters and stents,
women's undergarments, and so forth.
[0003]
It is known that when superelastic alloys are subjected to deformation by an external force in anenvironment at or above the shape recovery temperature, the original shape is restored as soon
as the force is removed. This is because, upon being subjected to an external force in theaustenite phase region at a temperature higher than the shape recovery temperature, superelastic
alloys exhibit transformation to a stress-induced martensite phase, but promptly revert as soon
as the external force is removed.
[0004]
Note that in the Present Specification, the term "metal" will collectively refer to metals andalloys to which superelastic members are to be joined, "superelastic material" to the superelastic
materials in a wire state, for example, before being made into a product, and "superelastic
member" to the same having been worked into a product of some sort.
[0005]
Conventionally, superelastic materials and metal joined by brazing of one kind or another(brazing with aluminum alloy, copper-phosphorus, silver, gold, or the like), or by simple
crimping, often come apart easily when a strong external force is applied.
[0006]
Accordingly, a manufacturing technique is employed to join superelastic materials and metal
wherein the portions of both that are to be joined are placed in a metal sleeve, which is thenswaged.

[問 2][0023]
Opening the array plate fixing valve 7 supplies vacuum to the array plate adsorption ports 9,
whereby both ends of the array plate 2 are fixed to the manifold 5, and at the same time, themiddle portion of the array plate 2 where the array holes 4 have been formed is pressed againstthe adsorption plate 1.

The array plate 2 is formed of a material with elasticity such as metal,

with an offset 14 formed thereon, whereby elastic force is generated and the array plate 2 ispressed against the adsorption plate 1 even more firmly.
[0024]
A micro-ball adsorption area formed in the adsorption plate 1 has a structure wherein a great
number of adsorption pores 3 are formed at a pitch of around several micrometers.

The arrayholes 4 have a diameter on the order of several hundred micrometers, which is sufficiently great
as compared with the adsorption pore pitch, so that sufficient suction is yielded at the arrayholes 4 even though no positioning is performed between the adsorption pores 3 and array holes
4.
[0025]
Upon moving micro-balls 11 close to the array holes 4 and then opening the micro-balladsorption valve 8, vacuum is supplied to the micro-ball adsorption port 10, whereby vacuum isformed at the array holes 4 by way of the micro-ball adsorption space 10a and the adsorption
pores 3, so that one micro-ball 11 is contained in each array hole 4.

[問 3]
1.

A screw feeder comprising:a screw receiver;a conveying unit conveying the screws in the receiver;an arranging unit arranging the screws conveyed by the conveying unit;
a discharging unit downstream of the arranging unit, the discharging unit discharging thearranged screws; anda hopper having an insertion tube at a lower part thereof, the insertion tube being provided witha feed port at a lower end thereof,
wherein the insertion tube is removably disposed in the receiver leaving a predetermined gap
therebetween such that the hopper and the insertion tube are not affected by vibrations of thescrew feeder itself, and the screws are serially fed through the feed port into the receiver in a
passive manner.
2.

The screw feeder according to claim 1, wherein the hopper includes a support

member at a lower part thereof, and the support member has an adjuster for height adjustment.
