Patent number: 11737252Abstract: Tape-feeder setting work apparatus (40), which is used when an operator performs a work of setting a component supply tape wound on tape reel (12), in tape feeder (10), includes feeder set base (41) configured to hold the tape feeder in the setting work of the component supply tape, power supply section (47) configured to supply a power to tape feeding device (29) inside the tape feeder, and operation section (51) configured to allow the operator to operate the tape feeding device inside the tape feeder. When a work of setting a tip portion of the component supply tape by pulling out the tip portion from the tape reel set in the tape feeder held by the feeder set base is performed, the operator operates the operation section of the tape-feeder setting work apparatus to operate a tape feeding operation of the tape feeding device inside the tape feeder, and feeds the tip portion of the component supply tape pulled out from the tape reel to a component pickup position of the tape feeder.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2018Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: FUJI CORPORATIONInventors: Hidekazu Yamanaka, Norio Hosoi, Keita Tanaka

Publication number: 20220256746Abstract: A tape guide includes a guide section to guide the carrier tape, the carrier tape including the base tape provided with the component storage section for storing the electronic component and the cover tape provided on a surface of the base tape to close the component storage section, and a component exposing section having a tongue portion inserted between the base tape and the cover tape during conveyance of the carrier tape guided by the guide section to expose the electronic component in the component storage section. The tongue portion moves up and down so that a distal end portion of the tongue portion is movable between a first height position at which the distal end portion can enter between the base tape and the cover tape and a second height position higher than the first height position.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2019Publication date: August 11, 2022Applicant: FUJI CORPORATIONInventors: Keita TANAKA, Norio HOSOI

Patent number: 6373329Abstract: There is disclosed a bias circuit of a bipolar transistor for the high frequency power amplification, and the bias circuit comprises a bipolar transistor for the temperature compensation, a resistor for the temperature compensation connected to a collector thereof, a field effect transistor, and a source resistor connected to a source thereof. The bias circuit comprises a two stage transistor circuit in which a connection point between the bipolar transistor and the resistor for the temperature compensation is connected to a gate of the field effect transistor, and an output voltage is taken out from a connection point between the source of the field effect transistor and the source resistor. In this bias circuit, the thermal runaway resulting from a temperature rise can be prevented, and a large high frequency output can be obtained in a non-linear operation region of the high frequency input power—output power characteristic.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2000Date of Patent: April 16, 2002Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Norio Hosoi, Hiroyuki Abe
