Abstract: A tape carrier package has a base film and leads formed on one side of the base film. The base film defines a device hole therein, while the leads have outer portions to be bonded to a substrate and inner lead portions extending into the device hole. The tape carrier package can be mounted on a substrate by applying a high-frequency electromagnetic field to a portion of each lead which is to be bonded to the substrate, whereby solder applied to the lead or substrate in advance is heated and melted to bond the package to the substrate.

Abstract: A propelling mechanism for traveling through piping comprises: a motive power device; a plurality of sun gears driven in rotation by the motive power device; at least two planet gears meshed with each one of the sun gears and rotatably supported at specifically spaced-apart positions to undergo axial rotation about their own axes and simultaneously to undergo orbital revolution around the periphery of that sun gear; and a plurality of traction wheels with treads rotating together with respective planet gears, the treads being pressed into contact with the inner wall surface by the orbital revolution of the planet gears, driving power due to the axial rotation of the planet gears being transmitted by way of the treads of the wheels as traction to the inner wall surface.

Abstract: A versatile automatic transaction equipment comprises: a basic module including a user operation unit, an ID card processing unit, a transaction recording unit, and a cash delivery unit for cash payment transaction or verification of customer account balance; a deposit-receiving sub-module including a unit for identifying the type or class and authenticity of bill or bills inserted into the equipment for a deposit by a user and for counting the amount of money received as a deposit, and a bill transport unit for separately transporting the bills in two routes of rejection and receipt in accordance with the result of identification; and a passbook-processing sub-module including a magnetic data processing unit for reading and/or writing magnetic record data from the magnetic stripe attached to the passbook inserted by the user, and a printer unit for printing data representing the transaction history of the associated account.
