Abstract: A component mounting system including: a component mounting device group in which a plurality of component mounting devices that mount components supplied to a board transported in from an upstream side by a tape feeder and transport out the board to a downstream side, and cut a carrier tape after supplying the components by a cutter device and discharge scraps of carrier tape, are installed on a floor surface while being arranged in a direction of conveying the board; a main conveyor that is installed along an arrangement direction of the plurality of component mounting devices in a region on the floor surface under the component mounting device group, and transports the scraps of carrier tape discharged from each of the plurality of component mounting devices; and a scraps storage that is installed outside the region and stores the scraps of carrier tape transported by the main conveyor.

Abstract: An aspect of an electric pump of the present invention is an electric pump attached to a predetermined object. The electric pump includes a motor having a rotor rotatable about a center axis extending in an axial direction, a pump mechanism coupled to the rotor, a circuit board located radially outside the motor and having a plate face directed in a radial direction, an electrolytic capacitor attached to the plate face of the circuit board, and a housing that houses the motor, the pump mechanism, the circuit board, and the electrolytic capacitor therein. The housing has a mounting face attached to a predetermined object. The mounting face is a face directed radially outward. The plate face of the circuit board is disposed along a direction intersecting the mounting face. The electrolytic capacitor is disposed at a position closer to the mounting face than the center axis in the direction orthogonal to the mounting face.

Abstract: An ultrasonic detection system having an array of ultrasonic transducers that are uniformly closely disposed relative to each other such that the active surfaces for transmission or reception are maintained on a straight or curved line. The transducers form radiation or reception beams in a specific direction. Beam orientation is accomplished by selecting a group of transducers from the array and/or respectively applying appropriate phase-shifts to the signals to be fed to each of the transducers or to the signals produced from each of the transducers. Shields are maintained between two adjacent transducers for suppression of sidelobes.
