Abstract: First, a wax sheet is provided (step S1). The wax sheet consists of a wax material layer, an adhesive material layer and release paper. The wax material layer consists of a wax material. Next, a coating material layer is laid on the wax material layer (step S2). The coating material layer consists of a mixture of coating particles and a binder. Coating particles use McrAlY particles and abrasive grains (cubic system boron nitride particles, etc.). Next, the coating material layer is dried (step S3), and the wax sheet is cut (step S4), for bonding to a rotor blade (step S5). Next, the rotor blade is heated (step S6) to melt the wax material. The wax material is wetted as an McrAlY particle-surrounding liquid phase, and is then diffused by a heat-treat retaining process. Next, a solidified layer is formed by cooling (step S7). The solidified layer is blasted (step S8) and cubic system boron nitride particles are allowed to protrude to complete an abrasive coating.

Abstract: A very fast reconstruction is undertaken in an image reconstruction process by tomography, by dividing measurements through the subject into a series of subsequent sets that are inverted by back projections giving partial result blocks used to search for the change law for the subject. Partial contents of the image can then be predicted at a reference time and their accumulation gives the image. The law for how the subject changes with time is evaluated and is used to compensate for partial results before their accumulation.

Abstract: A robot includes a robot sensor for sensing abnormality around the robot, moving means for moving the robot main body, and a movement control unit for controlling the moving means so that the robot main body is moved to a destination determined according to the information sensed by a fixed-position sensor fixed to a predetermined position outside the robot. The moving destination may be determined by the total control unit of the robot main body according to the information from the fixed-position sensors or by a center communicating with the robot according to the information from the fixed-position sensors. Since abnormality is sensed by the fixed-position sensors together with the robot sensor, the fixed-position sensors may have low accuracy obtained at a low cost. That is, by reducing the cost required for means for collecting external information such as the fixed-position sensor, it is possible to provide a monitoring system capable of collecting ambient information (such as abnormality information) without lowering the accuracy. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a vertical unitary air conditioner for supplying an air to be conditioned from an air blowing unit 3 disposed toward a passenger's seat to an air conditioning unit 4 disposed in an approximate center of an instrument panel of a car, a duct connecting section 25 is provided at an end of an intermediate duct 5 disposed so as to incline obliquely toward a lower end of the air conditioning unit 4, and a bottom face 28 of a passage inside the duct connecting section 25 is formed to be continuous with a lower wall face of a passage inside the intermediate duct 5 and to extend almost horizontally. Thus, air flowing obliquely downward through the intermediate duct 25 can be directed upward at a portion of the air conditioning unit 4 located more outwardly (closer to the passenger's seat) than an end of the evaporator 33 adjacent to the passenger's seat, and the air is allowed to flow almost horizontally into an introduction space S1. This prevents the air flow from becoming turbulent, alleviates the deflection of the air flow passing through the evaporator 33 located above, and prevents the splatter of condensate against the evaporator 33. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A can body with a jacket-like closed wall and a base constructed on one end of the can wall includes an external base covering in the form of a sheet material. The base covering is fixed into position on an annular connection region of the can body. The base covering can form a basically flat imprintable region in a main region that is surrounded by the connection region. If a bar code can be applied in this imprintable region, then a restriction of the configuration possibility of the can wall disappears. The base covering can form a stand region whereby a standing can body is only in contact with the support surface if necessary via the base covering, and consequently the occurrence of corrosion problems is prevented. A retaining device that leaves the base of a held can body free and a position fixing apparatus are used for fixing the base covering into position. A decorative foil on the exterior of the can wall can be overlapped by the base covering, which serves to prevent a detachment of the decorative foil on the base.
