  • Patent number: 8715850
    Abstract: A battery module 8 containing parallel blocks 9 connected to a protection circuit via a lead plate 2, wherein the parallel blocks 9 are welded to both sides of the lead plate without bending the lead plate 2 into a U shape. Thus it is possible to reduce the length of the lead plate 2 and suppress a voltage drop on the lead plate 2. Further, since the lead plate 2 is not bent into a U shape, the assembling accuracy of the battery module is improved and the battery module is easily packaged with a small size.

  • Patent number: 6759917
    Abstract: Based on a relationship between cutting-and-removing amounts for partly cutting out a stub of a pattern line and impedances of a matching circuit, a cutting-and-removing amount for adjusting the impedance to a target value is determined by simulation or by comparison operation of an impedance measured value with information stored in a database. Then, based on the determined cutting-and-removing amount, the stub of the pattern line is partly cut and removed so that the impedance is adjusted to the target value.

  • Patent number: 6445813
    Abstract: A motion of a printed circuit board (1) is detected by an encoder (4) arranged aside a belt conveyer (2), and the encoder generates a detection signal (S3) which activates a timing signal generator unit (5) for generating an image pickup start timing signal which is fed to a time measuring unit (6) for measuring the image storing time which corresponds to the time interval of the image pickup start signal (S1). According to the image storing time, the image signal (S2) generated by the line CCD camera (3) is normalized by the normalizing calculation means (7), and thereafter, the mounting condition of the printed circuit board is judged by the image recognizing section (B) with the use of the image data (D) to thereby realize a simple and convenient mechanism at a low cost and at a high precision.

  • Patent number: 5841539
    Abstract: The three-dimensional measuring apparatus of the present invention includes an optical beam scanning unit for scanning a projected-and-depressed surface of an object with an optical beam while controlling the scanning operation, and a detector unit for receiving a reflected optical beam reflected by the projected-and-depressed surface through the scanning operation and for thereby measuring height information on the projections and depressions of the object, in which noise information due to noise generated during the control of the scanning operation with the optical beam is prevented from being transmitted as the height information from the detector unit.

  • Patent number: 5724439
    Abstract: A mounting state of a component mounted on a printed circuit board with adhesive is inspected by an apparatus which includes an image pick-up unit for picking up in colors an image of the board after the component is mounted, a color extracting part for discriminating an adhesive portion of the image based on a predetermined color distribution of the adhesive and then extracting the adhesive portion as extracted data, a cutting part for setting a window frame for a to-be-inspected portion in the image of the board relative to the extracted data so as to detect bulging of the adhesive, and cutting out data within the window frame, and a deciding part for deciding, based on the cut data, a presence/absence of the bulging of the adhesive from a size or an area of a portion in the window frame which shows a color within the color distribution of the adhesive.
