Until now, the sundial has hardly been made especially in pursuit of accuracy and function. The typical sundial indicating the time at the angle of the shadow of edge lines has no structure to correct the atmospheric refraction. On the other hand, the sundial using a two-dimensional dial for reading at the center position of the shadow of a sphere provides a precise design so that not only the time difference by equation of time and longitude but also atmospheric refraction can be corrected. This"astronomical precise sundial"uses a two-dimensional dial, and it is a precise and highly functional sundial designed and manufactured in pursuit of the possiblity of the sundial from the viewpoint of astronomers. As the functions of this sundial, the local sidereal time can be directly read for the first time in the world, and the various information such as the sunrise and sunset times and the azimuth and altitude of the sun can be obtained.

A theoretical method to obtain the vibration mode of the tuning fork is explained and some discussions are done relating to the obtained vibration mode. Here, the tuning fork is regarded as the one composed of three straight bars which are connected with each other at right angle to form the U-shape. Through the above method, the resonant frequencies n_j (j=1, 2, 3, .....) and the corresponding modes of vibration can be calculated. In the results, it is seen that, when j is odd, the bending motion of the two paralledl sides of the tuning fork are in the opposite direction, when j is even, however, those are in the same direction. Moreover, when two tuning forks are of the similar shape, it is certified that there exists a simple relationship between the vibration modes of these two tuning forks. By using this relationship, unknown vibration modes of the one can be obtained easily, if the modes of the other are known. In the tuning fork, having uniform material and section, the resonant frequencies are given by n_j(k)=m^2_j(k)^-2√<EI/Sp,> where E, p , I, S and l are Young's modulus, the density of the material, the moment of inertia, the area of the section, and the total length of the tuning fork, respectively. k means the ratio of the bottom side length of the U-shape to the parallel side length, and the proportional constants m^2, are shown in a table, with the various values of k. On the asymmetrical tuning forks of which two parallel sides have a slight difference in length, the vibration modes are calculated. The changes of the resonant frequeny and the nodal point are shown in connection with the change of the difference of the parallel sides. The results of the above theoretical analysis are compared with the experimental one, and it is ascertained that both are in good coincidence.

A Wrist watch "WRIST TERMINAL RC-1000" has been developed and put on the market. This one not only can receive data directly from information processing instruments (personal computers) but also memorise and readout the data at any time. As the RS-232C interface and RAM of 2K bytes are installed in the wrist watch, such functions as memory, schedule alarm, and world time are also fulfilled.

We develop a small NC milling machine based on the concept of a micro factory. We try to manufacture this machine for using even in the laboratory where there are lot of amateur machine operators for getting trial machine parts. The small NC milling machine size is about 150mm×100mm×270mm. It is about 1/10 of the general milling machines. To evaluate this machine's performances we first make square parts:5mm×5mm×2mm and we make sure that this square parts accuracy is kept within 0. 01mm. We also make one of typical machine parts : a gear, and a circular pyramidal shape which is called a 2. 5 dimensional sample.

Édouard Phillips, a theoretician of 19th century, advocated the conditions of inner and outer end of Archimedes spiral, which is referred to as Conditions of Phillips. However, Phillips developed the expression for conditions using approximation, actual effect has not been adequately evaluated. We conduct holomorphic computation and it is realized that conditions of Phillips improve significantly not only isochronism of horizontal position but also that of vertical position.

It has been 17 years that we developed the watch lubricant “AO-oil” which resolves the problems of existing watch lubricant, i.e. “gelation”, “metal corrosion”, and “temperature dependence of watch lubricant's viscosity”, caused by time decay. AO-oil has been developed especially with focusing on base oil and viscosity modifier, which extends the life of timepieces and enhances reliability. Furthermore, by enforcing higher lubrication and stability I found that the lifetime can be extended much longer. As to this development, an optimal additive has to be selected by focusing on antiwear/extreme-pressure agent and antioxidation agent. Hence, now I report on this new watch lubricant “AO-oil”.

We have launched production and sales of "Monsieur", a microrobot that is probably the world's first micromachine to move from drawing board to factory floor. "Monsieur" employs an internalized CPU-IC, rechargeable capacitor, two drive units, and a pair of photosensors to enable it to independently propels itself toward a light source. Skilled technicians assemble "Monsieur" by hand from a total of ninety-eight parts, most of which are general purpose watch parts.
