  • Patent number: 10427215
    Abstract: A punch unit is used in a powder press molding device that includes a die plate including a cavity in which a compacted powder pellet can be formed, the powder press molding device including a ram moving in a direction approaching the die plate and in a direction away from the die plate. The punch unit includes a punch inserted into the cavity of the die plate when the ram approaches the die plate, and a supporting portion supporting the punch reciprocatably, the punch unit being movable along a plane intersecting with the moving direction of the ram in a state where the punch is removed from the cavity. The punch unit is capable of shortening a distance in which the ram moves, and a cycle time can be shortened.

  • Patent number: 5403785
    Abstract: An IC chip package is fabricated from a substrate carrying an IC chip and formed with a conductive pattern of conductors for electrical connection to the IC chip, and a leadframe having a plurality of connector leads with inner and outer lead sites for electrical connection with associated ones of the conductors and with an external circuit, respectively. Fabrication of the IC chip package is made through the steps of placing the inner lead sites into intimate contact on distal ends of the corresponding conductors, and applying ultrasonic vibrations to contacting surfaces between the inner lead sites and the conductors so as to effect diffusion bonding therebetween.
