  • Publication number: 20150366114
    Abstract: A support pin arrangement determination assisting apparatus includes: a display unit which displays a board image indicating an already mounted component; a position input unit through which an arrangement position of a support pin is input to the displayed image; and a pin image display processing unit which causes the display unit to display a composite image in which a pin arrangement image indicating the input arrangement position is superimposed on the board image. A planar image of the support pin in the pin arrangement image includes an image of a top portion of a shaft erected in a board holding unit and an image of a contact portion which is located on a tip side of the top portion, which has a sectional shape smaller than that of the top portion, and which contacts and supports a lower surface of the board.

  • Publication number: 20150111094
    Abstract: A storage battery includes a power storage element, a battery case, an internal insulating member, a second electrode terminal, an external insulating member. The power storage element has a stacked structure of a positive plate, a negative plate, and a separator. The battery case includes a first case and a second case that create a space to house the power storage element. The battery case is electrically connected with one electrode of the power storage element and includes a first electrode terminal. The internal insulating member is disposed in the space. The second electrode terminal is connected with the other electrode via the internal insulating member and disposed on a periphery of the battery case at a position different from the connecting part. The external insulating member insulates the second electrode terminal from the battery case.

  • Patent number: 8925190
    Abstract: It is intended to provide an electronic component mounting device and an operation performing method for mounting electronic components so that both the operation quality and the productivity can be improved. In operation performing procedures, when an electronic component belongs to the first division, an operating head is made to move up and down based on an approximate operation position height derived from an approximate curved surface of the top surface of a board which is calculated by using the height measurement result obtained by measuring a plurality of height measuring points on the surface of the board, and when the electronic component belongs to the second division, the operating head is made to move up and down based on an individual operation position height obtained by individually measuring the board height at the operation position.

  • Publication number: 20140370357
    Abstract: Rectangular battery cells 30A and 30B are used for the battery stack 10. Each of the battery cells 30A and 30B includes: a batter casing 32 having: a reference surface 32a defined by a first direction and a second direction orthogonal to each other; and a terminal support surface 32b extended from an end of the reference surface 32a toward a third direction orthogonal to both the first direction and the second direction; and a positive electrode terminal 34p and a negative electrode terminal 34n protruded from the terminal support surface 32b and arranged at a predetermined distance from each other in the first direction. The positive electrode terminal 34p and the negative electrode terminal 34n are located at positions of different distances in the first direction from the center of the terminal support surface 32b.

  • Patent number: 8488051
    Abstract: An image pickup apparatus capable of performing favorable focusing operation when image signals are read out from an image pickup device at a high speed while flickers are occurring. Flickers are detected from image signals outputted from the image pickup device, while the image signals outputted from the image pickup device is stored. The image signals outputted from the image pickup device and the image signals stored in a first memory are synthesized depending on the flicker detection result. A position of a focus lens is adjusted by selectively using any one of the image signals outputted from the image pickup device and the synthesized image signal. When the image pickup device performs reading images in a cycle shorter than a flicker cycle, image synthesis is performed depending on the brightness of the image signals outputted from the image pickup device.

  • Publication number: 20070293969
    Abstract: According to the present invention, mounting conditions are determined to become closer to a setting value of a parameter regarding electricity consumption. The present invention provides a method of determining mounting conditions under which a piece of equipment mounts a component onto a substrate. The method includes: obtaining a setting value of a parameter regarding electricity consumption required to mount the component; obtaining an actual value of the parameter based on current mounting conditions; and determining new mounting conditions based on a result of comparing the setting value with the actual value.
