Abstract: A workpiece processing apparatus comprises a base member formed with a hydraulic chamber fillable with liquid, a punch and a piston. The hydraulic chamber has a workpiece processing chamber and a hydraulic-pressure generation chamber. The punch is movable between an initial position which is apart from the workpiece processing chamber and a received position at which the punch is partially received in the workpiece processing chamber. When the punch is moved from the initial position to the received position, the punch presses the workpiece into the workpiece processing chamber. The piston is partially received in the hydraulic-pressure generation chamber and receives a pressing force directed into the hydraulic-pressure generation chamber in a course of movement of the punch from the initial position to the received position, and the piston is moved in accordance with the pressing force and increases hydraulic pressure of the liquid.

Abstract: A workpiece processing apparatus comprises a base member, a slider located above the base member and a punch projecting downward from the slider. The base member is formed with a hydraulic chamber fillable with liquid. The hydraulic chamber has a workpiece processing chamber and a hydraulic-pressure generation chamber which are coupled together. Each of the workpiece processing chamber and the hydraulic-pressure generation chamber extends in the upper-lower direction and opens upward. The base member comprises a piston which is partially received in the hydraulic-pressure generation chamber. When the slider is moved downward, the punch is moved downward and presses the workpiece into the workpiece processing chamber, and the piston receives a downward force and is moved downward. The thus-moved piston increases hydraulic pressure of the liquid.

Abstract: An adjuster performs simultaneous irradiation of M laser beams to an atomic beam, where M is a predetermined integer satisfying 3??M. The course of each of the M laser beams intersects with the course of the atomic beam. A component, in a direction perpendicular to the course of the atomic beam, of the sum of radiation pressure vectors that the M laser beams respectively have is zero.

Abstract: An adjuster 500 performs simultaneous irradiation of M laser beams to an atomic beam 131, where M is a predetermined integer satisfying 3?M. The course of each of the M laser beams intersects with an approach path of the atomic beam 131. A component, in a direction perpendicular to the approach path of the atomic beam, of the sum of radiation pressure vectors that the M laser beams respectively have is non-zero. A component, in a direction of the approach path of the atomic beam, of the sum of the radiation pressure vectors that the M laser beams respectively have is negative for atoms having speeds greater than the predetermined speed, and positive for the atoms having speeds smaller than the predetermined speed.
