Abstract: An inductor (100) includes a magnetic core (30) and an insulative housing (10). The magnetic core has a wire wound (40) around a central portion (33) thereof, a projecting portion (31) formed on a lower end thereof and a stepped-portion (321) extending downwardly from the projecting portion. The insulative housing encloses the stepped-portion and the projecting portion of magnetic core to thereby integrate the insulative housing and the magnetic core together by insert molding.

Abstract: An electric motor assembly including a mechanism for mounting a module housing end on a motor housing end, and a mechanism for drivingly connecting a module shaft end to a motor shaft end. The assembly further includes a mechanism for preventing the module housing from rotating relative to the motor housing, and a mechanism for slidably attaching for shaft axis direction movement relative to each other the module housing and the motor housing. The module shaft end and the motor shaft end are located relative to their respective housings so that they can be drivingly connected to each other without the module housing and the motor housing interfering with the connection.

Abstract: An electric motor including having a housing, a stator fixed relative to the housing, a shaft rotatable about a motor axis, a rotor supported by the shaft for rotation with the shaft relative to the stator, a terminal board fixed relative to the housing, and first and second electrical terminals supported by the terminal board. The electric motor also includes an operating condition selection device including a moveable portion supported by the terminal board for pivotable rotation about a second axis between a first position corresponding to a first operating condition and a second position corresponding to a second operating condition. At least a portion of the moveable portion substantially remains in a fixed axial position relative to the second axis while pivoting between the first and second positions. The electrical terminals are accessible through a conduit receiving aperture for testing purposes.

Abstract: A tray-positioning device comprises a driving unit and a positioning unit, wherein the positioning unit provides a plurality of sidewalls that correspond to a plurality of upper sidewalls of a tray. By allowing the driving unit to move the positioning unit toward the tray or vice versa that said individual upper sidewalls are in close contact with the corresponding sidewalls, the tray-positioning device is capable of providing precise positioning for the tray.

Abstract: An air-suspended die sorter is disclosed, in particular an air-suspended die sorter capable of performing die sorting, die attaching and die pick-up in the semiconductor industry. The present invention provides an air-suspended die sorter capable of eliminating spring preload, and lowering mechanical friction so as to lift die sorting precision and elevate the success rate, and has a cylinder unit, a piston unit and a pressure unit. The piston type design and a precise control of pressure on top and on bottom of the piston, respectively, enables the present invention to offer an air-suspended state that has done away with stress problems associated with the use of springs. The present invention further provides a novel buffer design for reducing friction and die impact often encountered in prior art applications.

Abstract: An electric motor having a rain baffle which is supported relative to and within the motor housing to prevent rain or the like which may enter ventilation outlets in the housing from contacting the rotor shaft bearing and the electrical components positioned within the housing. The rain baffle is also supported relative to and within the motor housing to allow air used to cool the motor to pass around the perimeter of the baffle and out the ventilation outlets in such a way as to substantially minimize the exhaust air from being recirculated back into air inlet vents in the housing.

Abstract: A Tray input-output module, comprising a power unit, a clamp unit and a support unit, is capable of automatically retrieving a tray from a transport device and automatically delivering a tray to a transport device for facilitating automation in chip sorter operation, reducing manual work and raising productivity.
