  • Patent number: 8640569
    Abstract: A freewheel structure includes a wheel frame and at least one weight block. The wheel frame has a central axle portion and a flange portion around an outer edge thereof. The axle portion is for insertion of an axle member. The weight block is selectively located between the axle portion and the flange portion, so that the weight block has a certain distance relative to axle portion. The freewheel will generate a greater centrifugal force when it is rotated at a high speed. The inertial effect of the present invention can be enhanced when the rotational speed is increasing progressively, so the curve of inertial weight is elongated obviously. The whole weight of the freewheel is reduced effectively.

  • Patent number: 7781140
    Abstract: A method for removing dry film resist (DFR) from a fine pitch solder bump array on a semiconductor wafer provides for pre-soaking the wafer in a chemical bath then turbulently exposing the wafer to a chemical solution, both steps taking place in batch processing with the wafers processed in a vertical position. The wafers are then individually processed through a chemical spinning operation in which a chemical solution is dispensed from a spray nozzle while motion such as spinning is imparted the horizontally disposed wafer. The spin speed of the chemical spraying process may then be increased to accelerate physical removal of residue. Deionized water rinsing and spin-drying provide a solder bump array void of any DFR or other residuals.
