Abstract: A tabular form screen on which input fields for a parameter and a set value can be added is used as a condition input screen. In a test pattern control part, set values of different parameter groups inputted via the condition input screen are arbitrarily combined, one set value group from each parameter group being selected for one combination, to automatically generate test patterns and parameter files which are information on the set values. An execution control section can control a server and a client terminal of an information processing system to execute performance tests successively only with one input operation based on the generated parameter files.

Abstract: A heater tool, which bonds by thermocompression outer leads of a TCP to electrodes on an array substrate, is fixed to a support block and is movable between a compression-bonding position, wherein the distal end portion of the heater tool presses the TCP to compression-bond the outer leads to the electrodes of the array substrate, and a waiting position wherein the distal end portion is spaced apart from the TCP. A pressing mechanism having a pressing member is mounted on the support block and movable in interlock with the movement of the heater tool. The pressing member presses the TCP to press the outer leads against the array substrate when the heater tool moves from the waiting position toward the compression bonding position.

Abstract: A filter attaching device comprises a receiving drum for forming a tip-paper piece, and a rolling plate which cooperates with the peripheral surface of the receiving drum to define a rolling passage. The rolling plate has a pair of receding portions 54 arranged on the left and right sides of the upper surface thereof. Due to the receding portions 54, contact resistance produced between the rolling surface and an intermediate product rolling on in the rolling passage, or more specifically, cigarettes included in the intermediate product is reduced.

Abstract: The present invention provides a manufacturing method of a flat-panel display unit and a carrier therefor which make it unnecessary to implement alignment in each step, except for alignment which require higher precision, by performing the alignment in advance in the pre-stage of a series of steps. The present invention also provides a manufacturing method of a flat-panel display unit which allows alignment with accuracy of about 50 to 100 .mu.m to be performed simply, reliably and quickly. According to the inventive manufacturing method, a display panel is mounted non-shiftably on the carrier and while being mounted thereon, is then carried between processing machines and is processed by the processing machines. In mounting the display panel on the carrier, it is aligned with the carrier in advance by visually aligning alignment marks thereof.
