Method for producing an external horological element (100) which is a heterogeneous component, according to which a primary cavity (10) is produced in a structure (1), only the periphery of this said primary cavity (10) is re-machined or laser machined, which primary cavity (10) is filled with a second material that is different in appearance from the first material in order to produce a primary insert (2), where the bottom of this said primary cavity (10) is left rough before being filled with said second material, and, in the thickness of this primary insert (2), a secondary cavity (20) is produced, which is filled with a third material that is different in appearance from the first material and/or from the second material in order to produce a secondary insert (3).

The present disclosure provides an identification code recognition system, including: a camera configured to capture an image of an entire area of an identification code (ID code) engraved on a workpiece; a scanner configured to scan a partial area including at least one misrecognized character in the entire area of the ID code; and an image analyzer including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory is configured to store the ID code, data related to the ID code, an image captured by the camera, and an image scanned by the scanner, and the processor is configured to analyze the image captured by the camera and the image scanned by the scanner based on an image analysis logic.

A processing apparatus for performing not only cutting and drawing, but also other processing, and a cartridge used for the processing apparatus are provided. The processing apparatus includes a first cartridge including: a first processing tool to form a machining mark by grinding or cutting a surface of a sheet-like object; an actuator to operate by an external power supply and drive the first processing tool; and a first housing to accommodate the first processing tool where a tip of the first processing tool is exposed and accommodate the actuator. The processing apparatus also includes a carriage including a mounting section which the first cartridge is detachably mounted; a transfer mechanism to move the object and the carriage relatively to each other; and a control circuit to control driving of the transfer mechanism to form the machining mark on the surface of the object by the first processing tool.

Embodiments relate to a decorative sheet having a hairline design and including successively, from a front surface side thereof, (A) a layer of a transparent resin film and (B) a layer of an ink paint film containing high brightness pigment. A plurality of linear hairline grooves is provided on a surface of the transparent resin film on a side thereof facing (B) the layer of the ink paint film containing the high brightness pigment. The decorative sheet has a surface resistivity of 110.sup.5 or more on a rear surface side thereof. When the decorative sheet is placed on a dirt comparison chart created by the NPB in an environment of an illuminance of 600 lux, and is illuminated from below the chart at an illuminance of 17000 lux, a figure having a size of 5 mm.sup.2 on the chart can be visually discriminated. When the decorative sheet is placed on a gray scale for soiling stipulated in JIS L0805:2005 in an environment of an illuminance of 500 lux, the color difference between color chips numbers 4 and 5 cannot be visually discriminated.

A method for fabricating a timepiece component made of conductive material includes: making a base from conductive material; coating the base with a first layer of sacrificial metal protection material; etching a recessed decoration mechanically or with a laser; coating the first recessed decoration and the remaining part of the first layer with a second metal and/or coloured decorative treatment layer; and removing each first sacrificial metal protection layer by chemical devices, to obtain a blank including a first decoration formed by the remaining part of the second layer.

A home appliance can include: a body having an opening; a door to open and close the opening; and a color panel on at least one of the body or the door, the color panel including: a base panel including: a front surface, and an uneven pattern portion on the front surface, having upper sides, and lower sides that are at a height difference from the upper sides, and a color layer on the uneven pattern portion and including: main ink dots and sub ink dots having a size that is smaller than the main ink dots, wherein at least one sub ink dot is between each two adjacent main ink dots, and at least some of the sub ink dots are on at least one of a periphery of the upper sides or a periphery of the lower sides.

An automatic carving device for a wheel, including a rack, a chassis, a lifting cylinder, brackets, bearing blocks, linear bearings, mounting plates, guide shafts, a lifting shaft, a servo motor, a synchronous pulley, a connection plate, a synchronous belt, a synchronous pulley, a pedestal, a connection shaft, a servo motor, a shaft sleeve, a lower end cover, a connection shaft, a shaft sleeve, and an oil cylinder. The automatic carving device for the wheel can automatically carve characters on the wheel, meanwhile it also has the characteristics of simple structure, convenience for manufacturing, stable performance and high precision that can meet the machining requirement, and can also meet the requirement of automatic production.

A device and method for making puzzle tags are disclosed. The device is a kiosk that utilizes a cutting instrument to cut tag plates, based on cutting pattern selection input provided by a customer, into a series of pieces that form a first puzzle tag. The device and method disclosed herein may also facilitate the production and distribution of a second puzzle tag that is the inverse image of the first puzzle tag and formed from the materials leftover from construction of the first puzzle tag.

A process for producing an identifiable hand tool includes a machining step which uses machining tools to produce a rough part of the hand tool; a setting identification step which forms a identification area with an identification groove on the surface of the rough part; a heat treatment step which proceeds a heat treatment to the rough part; a vibration step which vibrates the rough part; a surface treatment step which electroplates the rough part to form an electroplating layer on the surface of the rough part to form a hand tool with a base color identification layer, and a coloring step which uses a Charged Coupled Device to determine a depth of the identification groove and uses a coloring pen of a coloring machine to perform coloring processing to form an identification portion with a different color from the base color identification layer.
