Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to
provide an apparatus and a method both capable of easily
generating diagrams for manufacturing wiring harnesses.
Entities of connectors, binding parts and wirings are
stored in a hard disk 20. A wiring arrangement diagram
is generated with a CPU 22 in accordance with the
entities, values and/or characters thus inputted. The
wiring arrangement diagram is displayed on a display 6.
A desired wiring arrangement can be generated by carrying
out amendment and/or modifications of the arrangement
thus displayed using a mouse 2 and/or a keyboard 6. A
wiring table and an independent wiring harness diagram
both considering connection information of each terminal
between each of the connectors are generated with the CPU
22 as wiring harness information in accordance with the
entities, values and/or characters and so on in the
desired wiring arrangement diagram. At that time, a
judgement is carried out whether or not the independent
wiring harness diagram thus generated complies with a
predetermined rule. The wiring table and the independent
wiring harness diagram thus generated are outputted from
a printer 14.

Abstract: The invention seeks to provide a cermet tool in which the judgement of
a worn part and a non-worn part with the naked eye can be easily conducted, and
thus the judgement of the expiry of the life of the tool, and the like can be readily
conducted. 
     Accordingly, a surface coating layer is formed on the surface of a
cermet, the surface coating layer satisfying at least one of:
   the appearance lightness Vs of 6 or more, and   the saturation Cs of 4 or more.    
     When wear of a tip of a cermet tool proceeds, that part changes its color
to a blackish tone (corresponding, for example, to Vs of from 4 to 1 and Cs of
from N to 3). By adjusting the appearance lightness and the saturation of the
surface coating layer to the ranges described above, a worn part and a non-worn
part are easily distinguished by the naked eyes based on the difference in lightness
or hue. As a result, distinction of a spent tool and judgement of expiry of the life
of the tool can be easily conducted.

Abstract: Apparatus for processing a silicon workpiece uses reflected UV light to measure

directed onto a silicon surface to produce a reflected beam. The reflected beam is cross-polarized

determined. The temperature is determined from the characteristics of this spectrum. A
workpiece heating station uses this measuring technique to accurately control the
temperature of a silicon workpiece and temperature-dependent processing over a wide
