Abstract: A wafer splitting laminate mechanism mounted onto a wafer spitting machine to anchor a wafer includes a cantilever bar, an activating mechanism and a suppressing element. The activating mechanism is fixedly located on the wafer splitting machine to connect and drive the cantilever bar to move. The suppressing element is located at one end of the cantilever bar. The wafer is held by a fixed clip and positioned on a work station of the wafer splitting machine. During preparing the wafer splitting process, the activation mechanism drives the cantilever bar to move and suppress the wafer before the splitting process is performed. Thus warping of the wafer can be reduced during the splitting process.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a sorting apparatus for the high voltage test of chip capacitors, which comprises: an align/position module, a sucker/transport module, a clamp/test module, and a diverter/store module, wherein the align/position module can simultaneously align multiple chip capacitors; the sucker/transport module can simultaneously suck the multiple chip capacitors and sends them to the clamp/test module for testing; and then, the diverter/store module can separate the chip capacitors according test results. In the present invention, in addition to that multiple chip capacitors can be tested simultaneously, the sucker/transport module can also simultaneously suck the next batch of chip capacitors ready for testing when the clamp/test module are testing the chip capacitors; therefore, the present invention can sort chip capacitors rapidly and promote the sort efficiency.

Abstract: An ink jet printer having an ink delivery system that allows air to be absorbed by ink that is being delivered to an ink jet print cartridge that includes a thermal printhead, so that ink delivered to the printhead has an air saturation level of at least 30%. The dissolved air reduces damage to heater resistors of the thermal ink jet printhead that would otherwise be caused by the in rush of ink after an ink drop is fired.

Abstract: The present invention overcomes the problem of filter blockage created by bubble accumulation underneath the filter of previous printheads with a filter carrier and filter that reduces air bubble blockage of the filter. Namely, air bubble blockage of the filter is avoided by trapping more bubbles in a designated area with a horizontal ink flow, relative to the substrate. In addition to the filter carrier and filter, the printing device further includes an outer housing, a substrate and an ink conduit. The substrate has a back surface and a front surface with ink ejection chambers formed thereon. The ink conduit has a distal end proximate to the back surface of the substrate. The ink conduit, the outer housing and the substrate define an ink flow path to the ink ejection chambers and a bubble accumulation chamber in communication with the ink flow path such that buoyancy will tend to move bubbles that accumulate in the ink flow path into the bubble accumulation chamber.

A rear wall of the bracket includes fastener elements, such as threaded standoffs, and alignment posts that extend forward beyond the standoffs. The rear of the component likewise includes fastener elements, such as captive screws, and alignment openings. During installation, the component is brought into a position in which the alignment openings engage the alignment posts, and then the component is pushed rearward until it abuts the rear wall of the bracket. The fasteners become mutually aligned for subsequent fastening.

Abstract: Described is an ink delivery system is that utilizes a filter carrier to simplify the process of attaching the filter. The filter carrier is an element that has a conduit that is substantially surrounded by a filter attach surface. The filter is attached to this surface, such that substantially all fluid passing through the conduit is filtered. The filter carrier is installed into a housing upon which a printhead is mounted. The filter then divides the ink delivery portion of the housing into upstream and downstream sections such that ink flows from the upstream portion through the filter to the downstream portion and to the printhead. The separation of the filter sing from the cartridge housing provides more freedom of material selection for both the cartridge housing and a good heat staking material for the filter carrier. The separation also greatly simplifies the molding of the rigid cartridge housing.
