1. A fastener comprising:a generally cylindrical body about which a thread is formed,
a first set of flutes formed in the fastener towards one end of the fastenerso as to extend from the one end over at least a part of a longitudinal distance along
the fastener, each of the flutes intersecting the thread on one side along a line
parallel to a longitudinal axis of the fastener and on second side along an arcuateline, the first set of flutes intersecting the thread along the second side to define
cutting edges at intersections, the cutting edges acting to cut threads during useof the fastener, a radial outer edge of the thread between the flutes having
substantially constant radius; anda second set of flutes formed in the thread and each intersecting the thread,and a radial outer edge of the thread between the flutes of the second set also having
substantially constant radius.
＜エンド＞【参考】明細書の記載（抜粋）The present invention relates to an improved fastener, and, in particular,
to a threaded fastener or insert arranged in use to be self threading into a workpiece.
FIG. 1 shows a side view of a fastener in accordance with the present invention(part of which is shown in section).
in FIG. 1.

Fig. 2 shows an end view of the fastener shownReferring to the drawings, a fastener 10 in accordance with the present
invention is shown. The fastener 10 is provided with a headed portion 18 in the formof a thickened portion or flange at a second end of the body 12.

A thread 20 is provided

about the outer surface of the body 12, extending between the first end of the body
12 and the second end of the body 12.
A first set of grooves, notches or flutes 22 are formed in the fastener at
the first end of the fastener 10 extending from the first end at least a part of alongitudinal distance along the fastener 10.

In the illustrated embodiment the first

set of flutes 22 comprises three identical such flutes 22 equiangularly spaced about
the fastener. Each of the flutes 22 intersects the thread 20, first on one side along
a line parallel to a longitudinal axis of the fastener and on a second side along
an arcuate line, the flutes 22 intersecting the thread along the second side to define
cutting edges 24 at the intersections, the cutting edges 24 acting to cut threads
during use of the fastener.
A second set of indents, grooves or flutes 30 are formed in the thread 20.
The second set of flutes 30 are located towards the second end of the fastener 10
and are spaced equiangularly about the fastener. Each of the second set of flutes
30 intersects thread 20 to define a set of partially cutting/partially forming edges
34 at the intersections.

FIG. 3問 2．次の背景技術の記述を全て日本語に翻訳してください。段落番号も含めてください。
個々の用語にとらわれず、英語で述べられている実状を正確に日本語で表現してください。
[0002]

When used to position a platform, conventional two-dimensional electricmotors do not smoothly and accurately position the platform. Presently, coils in thetwo-dimensional electric motors move with respect to the magnets. Cables and hoses
are attached to the coil assembly. The cables are for electrical current and the hoses
may be used to carry coil cooling fluid or air supply. Unfortunately, the hoses andcables impede free motion of the coil assembly. If the hoses could be eliminated,
the stability of motion of the motor and positioning of the platform would be improved.
[0003]

Also, in many cases conventional technology relies upon cumbersome stacked

arrangements to achieve six degrees of freedom movement of the platform. The six
degrees of freedom include three translational and three rotational degrees of freedom.
Unfortunately, many designs obtain six degrees of freedom by essentially stacking
multiple two dimensional and/or one dimensional motors which move only in two
dimensions within a plane. For example, a platform may be propelled back and forth
in one dimension under the control of linear electric motors. The linear electricmotors are part of a holder which holds the platform. In turn, a second holder holds
that entire holder and platform arrangement via joint connections and propels it backand forth in a second dimension by another set of linear electric motors. Additional
degrees of motion may be provided by voice coil motors which are attached to theseholders.
[0004]

These types of stacked arrangements have a few drawbacks. Each additional

holder enabling more degrees of freedom also adds mass requiring additional power
for the electric motors to move the platform. Also, the complicated joint connections
degrade accuracy of positioning of the platform and create additional resonant
vibration frequencies.

【参考】[0034]

With reference now to Figs. 1-2, one illustrative implant of the invention

will now be described. Intervertebral disc prosthesis 20 includes a ball component
22 and a trough component 24 that are interengagable to form prosthesis 20. At least
one of these elements 22 and 24 will be made at least partially from, and potentiallycompletely from, an amorphous metal material.
【課題】＜スタート＞[0035]In an intervertebral disc space 28 (Fig. 2) between two adjacent vertebrae

26, 27, ball component 22 is fixed to one adjacent vertebra (e.g. vertebra 26), andtrough component 24 is fixed to the other (e.g. vertebra 27) so that the components
are interengaged within at least a portion of intervertebral space 28.
[0036]

Ball component 22 includes a generally convex surface 30 and an opposite

substantially flat vertebra engaging surface 32. A wedge surface 33 is provided at
one end of vertebra engaging surface 32, facilitating insertion of ball component
22 into the disc space and impeding migration of ball component 22. A flange 34 isprovided at one end of ball component 22 for screwing ball component 22 to a vertebra,
preferably formed to have a low profile and bulk. Flange 34 is at the opposite endof ball component 22 from wedge surface 33, and includes a vertebra engaging surface
35.
