Abstract: According to an embodiment, a first data set is a set of inspection results for chips formed on a wafer or cut out from the wafer. The inspection results are obtained by executing a first inspection on the chips. A second data set indicates, for each chip, presence or absence of early failure obtained by executing a second inspection on the chips. A processor determines, based on the first data set, a cluster of chips not satisfying a first criterion. The processor calculates a third data set being a set of feature amounts of chips related to a distance to the cluster. The processor executes training of a machine learning model by using, as input data, the first data set and the third data set and using the second data set as correct answer data. The processor outputs the machine learning model of which the training has been executed.

Abstract: A multi-axis robot includes: a robot main body including a head and a movement mechanism that three-dimensionally moves the head; and a work tool attached to the head. The work tool includes: a first link pivotally supported on the head; a second link pivotally supported on a distal end of the first link; a first change mechanism that changes an angle of the first link to a central axis of the head; and a second change mechanism that changes an angle of the second link to the first link.

Abstract: A method for polishing a diamond crystal includes preparing a diamond crystal having a main surface having a plane orientation of (100). Mechanical polishing is performed on the main surface using a polishing wheel such that: a tangent contacts a curve extending in a rotation direction of the wheel and contacting a contact position between the diamond crystal and the wheel that is rotating; and a tangent direction of the tangent at the contact position is within a range of ±10 degrees relative to a <110> direction of the diamond crystal, thereby causing an affected region to appear such that the affected region is parallel to a direction of a plane orientation (111) of the diamond crystal and penetrates the diamond crystal onto the main surface. Chemical mechanical polishing is performed on the main surface to remove the affected region, thereby removing the affected region from the main surface.

Abstract: A hydraulic control unit of a vehicle drive system including an automatic transmission, and an oil pump device, includes: a first electromagnetic valve; a second electromagnetic valve; first and second oil passages; a third oil passage; a manual valve operated to connect and disconnect the first and third oil passages and a drain oil passage to and from each other, in response to an operation of a manually operated shifting device by a vehicle operator, such that the first oil passage is connected to the third oil passage when the shifting device is placed in a first operating position, while the first oil passage is connected to the drain oil passage when the shifting device is placed in a second operating position; an accumulator connected to the first oil passage; and a check valve provided in the second oil passage.
