  • Patent number: 10464186
    Abstract: The method of the present invention comprises the steps of: previously obtaining correlation data between surface properties of the polishing pad dressed under a plurality of stages of dressing conditions and polishing effects of the work polished by the polishing pad dressed under the dressing conditions; determining an assumed dressing condition capable of achieving an object polishing effect from the correlation data; dressing the polishing pad under the assumed dressing condition determined; polishing the work; cleaning the polishing pad which has been used for polishing the work; and measuring a surface property of the cleaned polishing pad.

  • Patent number: 10449655
    Abstract: The polishing apparatus comprises: a dressing section for dressing a polishing pad; a measuring section for measuring a surface property of the polishing pad; a polishing result measuring section for measuring a polishing result of a work; a storing section for storing correlation data between dressing condition data for dressing the polishing pad, surface property of the polishing pad and polishing results, which are learned by an artificial intelligence; and an input section for inputting an object polishing result. The artificial intelligence performs a first arithmetic process, in which the surface property of the polishing pad corresponding to the object polishing result is inversely estimated on the basis of the correlation data, and a second arithmetic process, in which the corresponding dressing condition is derived on the basis of the surface property of the polishing pad inversely estimated.

  • Patent number: 9630232
    Abstract: A punch constitutes, together with a die, a blanking die for punching a workpiece with a punching shape in which protrusions protrude outwards from an annular body. The punch includes a cylinder-shaped punch section and a holder section. In the punch section, a shape of the front end surface corresponding to the punching shape of the workpiece is continuous to a rear end surface, and includes a cutting edge on its front end surface. The holder section is a short cylinder including an inner circumferential surface formed in correspondence with an outer circumferential surface of the punch section to allow insertion of a rear part of the punch section. The protrusions are brought into intimate contact with the recesses of the holder section. A clearance is provided between a part of the punch section other than the protrusions and a part of the holder section other than the recesses.

  • Patent number: 9213105
    Abstract: To measure three-dimensional dose distributions with a dosimeter, such as a gel dosimeter. In an embodiment of the present invention, provided is a gel dosimeter having water, as solvent or disperse medium, clay particles that swell with water, and recording material precursor, which are dissolved or dispersed with each other. The recording material precursor has an atom or ion, wherein the atom or ion changes its valence number by reacting with both of a radical and a molecular radical derivative. The radical is to be generated from the water ionized by irradiation of radiation rays, and the molecular radical derivative is a molecule to be formed by bonding the radicals with each other. By the time radiation rays are irradiated, the gel dosimeter has been free from a substance identical to the molecular radical derivative and has lost fluidity.
