  • Patent number: 8377752
    Abstract: In regard to a semiconductor device having a multilayered wiring board where a semiconductor chip is embedded inside, a technology which allows the multilayered wiring board to be made thinner is provided. A feature of the present invention is that, in a semiconductor device where bump electrodes are formed over a main surface (element forming surface) of a semiconductor chip embedded in a chip-embedded wiring board, an insulating film is formed over a back surface (a surface on the side opposite to the main surface) of the semiconductor chip. As a result, it becomes unnecessary to form a prepreg over the back surface of the semiconductor chip. Therefore, an effect of thinning the chip-embedded wiring board in which the semiconductor chip is embedded is obtained.

  • Patent number: 7764040
    Abstract: A robot control apparatus comprises a servo amplifier having an AC/DC converter and used for driving a servo motor of a robot, and performs control so that power for driving the robot is supplied to the servo amplifier through a capacitor inrush current preventing resistor until precharging of a capacitor provided for the AC/DC converter is completed. The robot control apparatus has a first operation mode in which the power is supplied by bypassing the resistor, a second operation mode in which power is supplied through the resistor thereby controlling the servo motor in the robot to a lower driving speed than the driving speed in the first operation mode, and a selector switch SW for effecting switching from the first operation mode to the second operation mode or from the second operation mode to the first operation mode. With this configuration, a power supply circuit for supplying power to the servo amplifier for limiting the driving of the robot is reliably implemented by hardware.

  • Patent number: 7666076
    Abstract: A pressing member having a body member with a first downwardly inclined plate and a second downwardly inclined plate is configured for mounting on a coin feeding apparatus to control the translation of coins on a rotary selector disk as they are released. The coins experience a downward force from the inclined plates to push them against the surface of the rotary disk to ensure that the coins remain within the predetermined translation path for the coins. A blocking plate can be extended upward from the body member adjacent the upstream downwardly extending plate, to prevent a rising of the coins to ensure the coins passes under the canopy of the pressing member across the translation path.

  • Patent number: 7654891
    Abstract: The present invention provides a coin feeding device that can separate coins of multiple denominations that are different in diameter. A rotary disk has a circular base plate and a pushing out disk with a plurality of space radial projecting portions extending above the circular base plate. The spaces between the radial projecting portions form coin separating concave portions for receiving coins. The circular base plate can have cam grooves. A pivoting moving body can be driven by the cam grooves and can be positioned at either a radially inward surface of the separating concave portion or extended forward to discharge a coin. One side of the separating concave portions are curved as a coin pushing portion while the other side has a protruding portion that is cantilevered to extend into the concave portion and to project upward to remove any extraneous coin that may be carried by movement of the rotary disk.

  • Patent number: 7628685
    Abstract: A coin hopper is provided that can dispense coins of different diameters without any trouble. A rotating disk has coin stoppers that are upwardly inclined at a specified angle, and a circular supporting rack at the center of the upper surface thereof. The stoppers expand radially at regular intervals, from the supporting rack side to the circumferential direction. The rotating disk makes the coins contact a holding surface between the coin stoppers and receives the coins one by one, and supports them by the supporting rack and feeds them out. An outer covering unit covers at least the lower outer circumference of the rotating disk. A storing bowl stores coins in bulk following the outer covering unit. A coin receiving unit expands from the vicinity of the supporting rack to the circumferential direction of the rotating disk, wherein the coin stoppers are arranged in a state fixed to the rotating disk.
