"Powder compaction（粉末圧縮）is the process of compacting metal powder in a die through the application of high pressures. Typically the tools are held in the vertical orientation with the punch tool forming the bottom of the cavity. The powder is then compacted into a shape and then ejected（排出、取り出す）from the die cavity. In a number of these applications the parts may require very little additional work for their intended use; making for very cost efficient manufacturing. The density of the compacted powder（圧粉）is directly proportional to the amount of pressure applied."
"The dominant technology for the forming of products from powder materials, in terms of both tonnage quantities and numbers of parts produced, is die Pressing. There are mechanical, servo-electrical and hydraulic presses available in the market, whereby the biggest powder throughput is processed by hydraulic presses. This forming technology involves a production cycle comprising:
Filling a die cavity with a known volume of the powder feedstock, delivered from a fill shoe
- Compaction of the powder within the die with punches to form the compact（成形体）. Generally, compaction pressure is applied through punches from both ends of the toolset in order to reduce the level of density gradient within the compact.
- Ejection of the compact from the die, using the lower punch(es) respectively withdrawal of the die
- Removal of the compact from the upper face of the die using the fill shoe in the fill stage of the next cycle or an automation system/robot."

"is a specific forming technique for ceramics. It is a process in which ceramic granular materials are made cohesive through mechanical densification, involving (hot pressing) or not (cold forming) temperature exposition. The process permits an efficient production of parts ranging widely in size and shape to close tolerances with low drying shrinkage. Traditional (for instance: ceramic tiles, porcelain products) and structural (for instance: chip carriers, spark plugs, cutting tools) ceramics are produced. Cold compaction of ceramic powders ends up with the realization of the so-called green piece（成形体；未焼結状態の成形体、粉末成形体、cf. green body, green compact）, which is later subject to sintering."

Abstract
"Head-mounted displays (100)（＊複数形）are disclosed（開示）which include a frame (107), an image display system (110) supported by the frame (107), and a reflective surface, e.g., a free-space, ultra-wide angle, reflective optical surface (a FS/UWA/RO surface) (120), supported by the frame (107). In certain embodiments, the reflective surface (120) produces spatially-separated virtual images that are angularly separated by at least 100, 150, or 200 degrees. Methods and apparatus for designing reflective optical surfaces, including FS/UWA/RO surfaces, for use in head-mounted displays (100) are also disclosed."
"A head-mounted display such as a helmet-mounted display or eyeglass-mounted display (abbreviated herein as（略称）a “HMD”) is a display device worn（着用、装着）on the head of an individual that（＊先行詞はdisplay device）has one or more small display devices located near one eye or, more commonly, both eyes of the user. FIG. 1 shows the basic elements of one type of HMD which includes a display 11, a reflective optical surface 13, and an eye 15 having a center of rotation 17. As shown in this figure（図）, light 19 from display 11 （無冠詞）is reflected by surface 13 and enters（入射）the user's eye 15."
"Some HMDs display only simulated (computer-generated) images, as opposed to（対して、異なり、ではなく、対照的）real-world images, and accordingly（従って）are often referred to as "virtual reality" or immersive HMDs. Other HMDs superimpose（重ね合わせ、重畳）(combine) a simulated image upon a non-simulated, real-world image. The combination of non-simulated and simulated images allows the HMD user to view the world through, for example, a visor or eyepiece on which additional data relevant to（関連）the task to be performed is superimposed onto the forward field of view (FOV) of the user. This superposition is sometimes referred to as "augmented reality" or "mixed reality.""
"Combining（結合）a non-simulated, real-world view with a simulated image can be achieved using（＊by無し）a partially-reflective/partially-transmissive optical surface (a "beam splitter") where（＊＝whereby, so that, such that...? 詳細な説明の付加）the surface's reflectivity is used to display the simulated image as a virtual image (in the optical sense) and the surface's transmissivity is used to allow the user to view the real world directly (referred to as an "optical see-through（透視）system"). Combining a real-world view with a simulated image can also be done electronically by accepting video（＊無冠詞）of a real world view from a camera and mixing it electronically with a simulated image using a combiner (referred to as a "video see-through system"). The combined image can then be presented to the user as a virtual image (in the optical sense) by means of（により）a reflective optical surface, which in this case need not have transmissive properties."

BACKGROUND
"Wound-core style（巻鉄心型）transformer cores are commonly（通常、一般）manufactured by building up（形成、構成、作製、組立）the core with a plurality of layered core segments.

The process requires an operator to stand in front of the machine, wait (typically 1-5 seconds) for a steel laminate（積層体）to feed out of（送り出す、送出）the machine, then place it on a table in concentric loops. When a sufficient number of core segments are layered（積層）, the segment forming machine is stopped, and a number of finishing steps are performed on the core assembly. Once（一旦）the finishing steps are completed, the core assembly is sent on for further processing（処理）(e.g. annealing) and the core assembly process begins again. This method of assembly is inefficient, monotonous and time consuming.
There is therefore a need in the art for（需要、必要、求められている）a transformer core assembly process having greater efficiency and speed without the need for additional human operators."

The transformer core assembly apparatus 10 includes two core stacking sub-assemblies 12 positioned on opposed sides of a work table 14. As will be discussed（説明、記載、詳述）in greater detail below, transformer core assemblies are continuously assembled in the transformer core assembly apparatus 10 and, once completed, placed on a conveyor 16 for further processing. Additional processing may include, for example, annealing and incorporation into（組み込み、内蔵）a transformer assembly."
どうも「取り付ける」、「設ける」の意味でのfitted toの実例が少ない気がする（ネイティブの特許文献で）。

"An anti-siphon drain conduit. First and second cylindrical tubular portions with a U-shaped tubular portion interposed therebetween, and communicating with（連通）, the first and second cylindrical tubular portions. A drain passage extends through the conjoined（結合）tubular portions. A siphon break passage communicates with（連通）the drain passage at approximately the intersection of one of the cylindrical tubular portion and the U-shaped portion. A flap valve is formed integrally with at least one of the tubular portions for closing the siphon break passage upon（時、場合 、依存）the presence of liquid flowing through the drain passage. A bleeder cap is fitted to（設ける、取り付ける）the siphon break passage. The bleeder cap has a dome portion penetrated（貫通）by an aperture and an accordion（蛇腹）portion. The bleeder cap serves freely to admit（通す、入れる、通過）atmospheric pressure therethrough while tending to restrict any liquid that inadvertently enters the siphon break from exiting the siphon passage into atmosphere（大気）."

「設ける」の意味でprovide toを使うのには違和感を感じる。disposeを使えば良い場合も多いが、「配置」、「配設」と差別化したい場合とか。
Thermal mechanical analysis
"Thermal Mechanical Analysis (TMA) monitors the dimension or deformation under a load as a function of temperature or time. Useful information may be obtained about the material at elevated or depressed temperatures all while under an external load, which may be changed according to the needs of the client or test method"
resonator: passive, part of oscillator
oscillator: active
Difference between resonator and oscillator
"A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that uses the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal of piezoelectric material" (Crystal Oscillator, Wikipedia)
