  • Patent number: 7121443
    Abstract: An electric nailing apparatus includes a triggering member, a rotatable rod member including first and second sustaining structures, a transmission rod having a first protrusion structure, a motor member and a ram block sustained against a fixture element via a resilience element. In response to a rotation of a gear member, the ram block glides to compress the resilience element and then touch the first protrusion structure. In response to an external force, the triggering member moves to have the first sustaining structure touch a first switch device to start the motor member. After the ram block touches the first protrusion structure, the second sustaining structure is simultaneously stirred by the transmission rod to have the first sustaining structure detached from the first switch device, thereby stopping the motor member and providing a nailing energy to the ram block in response to a recovery force of the resilience element.

  • Patent number: 6907306
    Abstract: A process tool monitoring system is disclosed including a retrieving module, a calculating module, and an output module. The retrieving module retrieves parameter data from a process tool. Where the process tool is a furnace, the parameter data may include furnace temperature data, times of day that wafers were loaded into the furnace, and times of day that wafers were unloaded from the furnace. The retrieving module stores the parameter data in a database, and the calculating module accesses the parameter data within the database, and calculates a present throughput data dependent upon the parameter data, wherein the present throughput data is indicative of a present throughput of the process tool. The output module provides the present throughput data to an operator of the process tool. The process tool monitoring system may be used to monitor multiple process tools, and to compare the throughputs of the multiple process tools.
