  • Patent number: 8002610
    Abstract: To provide a technique for rotating a plurality of carriers 500 between an upper and a lower rotary surface plates to simultaneously polish both surfaces of a plurality of works 400. The work 400 is merged with the carrier 500 outside a polishing apparatus main body 110. The work 400 is supplied onto a lower rotary surface plate 111 of the polishing apparatus main body 110 while remaining merged with the carrier 500. The present invention enables the work 400 on the lower rotary surface plate 111 to be perfectly automatically supplied. After double side polishing has been completed and when an upper rotary surface plate, a liquid such as a water is injected from the upper rotary surface plate to hold the plurality of works 400 to have both surfaces thereof polished, on the lower rotary surface plate 111. The present invention enables the works 400 to be automatically ejected from the lower rotary surface plate 111.

  • Patent number: 7648409
    Abstract: A method of polishing the double sides of a plurality of works simultaneously by rotating a plurality of carriers between upper and lower rotating surface plates, comprising the steps of forming the works (400) integrally with the carriers (500) on the outside of a polishing device main body (110), feeding the works (400) onto a rotating surface plate (111) on the underside of the polishing device main body (110) with the works formed integrally with the carriers (500), injecting liquid such as water from the upper side rotating surface plate when the upper side rotating surface plate is raised after the double sides are polished, holding the plurality of works (400) on the lower side rotating surface plate (111) after the double sides are polished, enabling the works (400) to be discharged automatically from the lower side rotating surface plate (111), providing a brush storage part (180) and a dresser storage part (190) near the polishing device main body (110), and frequently treating a polishing cloth ins

  • Patent number: 6141223
    Abstract: A battery assembly is provided for holding a battery and for supplying power to an integrated circuit. When the battery is removed from the battery assembly, the battery assembly provides a LOW level signal to either the high voltage input (Vdd) of the integrated circuit or the reset port of the integrated circuit. The battery assembly includes a battery holder, a negative electrode attached to the battery holder and electrically connected to the a negative power line related to the integrated circuit, and a positive electrode also attached to the battery holder and connected to a positive power line to provide power to the integrated circuit. The positive and negative electrodes are disposed such that the battery may be held between the positive and negative electrodes, with positive and negative terminals of the battery in electrical contact with the positive and negative electrodes. The negative electrode includes an electrically conductive extension.

  • Patent number: 4402224
    Abstract: The invention discloses a monitoring device for monitoring vacuum pressure of an electrical device employing an evacuated envelope. The invention provide, particularly, a pressure responsive monitoring device which comprises an electric field generating device of vacuum type, an electric field detector means including a light source for generating light, an electric field detector detecting change of the electric field of the electric field generator due to the change of vacuum pressure inside the envelope and controlling the light depending upon the change of the electric field, and photoelectric converter for converting the light controlled by the electric field detector to an electric signal which is employed to monitor the vacuum pressure of the envelope.

  • Patent number: 4398187
    Abstract: A pressure monitoring system for a high-voltage vacuum circuit interrupter including a plurality of capacitors connected in series located outside an evacuated housing and between two metallic end plates each attached to the electrode holder and an arc shielding member. The pressure monitoring system which monitors the deterioration of vacuum pressure within the evacuated housing of the interrupter by detecting the change in the electric field intensity of the capacitors dependent upon the change in vacuum pressure comprises a light source, at least one electric field detecting member having a Pockel's cell located on one of the capacitors, light receiving member and a vacuum pressure determining member, whereby an automatic monitoring of vacuum pressure within the evacuated housing of the vacuum circuit interrupter or within each of the evacuated envelopes of a plurality of vacuum circuit interrupters can be made.
