  • Publication number: 20230230853
    Abstract: A manufacturing apparatus of a semiconductor device includes a stage, a mounting tool, a pressing mechanism, and a controller. The pressing mechanism moves the mounting tool in a vertical direction and applies a load to a chip. The controller is configured to perform a first process and a detection process. In the first process, after bringing the chip into contact and until a bump melts, the chip is heated by the mounting tool and a command position of the pressing mechanism is constantly updated so that a positional deviation is constant. In the detection process, melting of the bump is detected based on a decrease in the pressing load.

  • Patent number: 10549750
    Abstract: A moving body (1) according to the invention includes: a drive unit (12); a control unit (exemplified by a drive control unit (11) and a speed instruction unit (10b)) that controls driving by the drive unit (12); an object recognition unit (13) that recognizes an object; and a determination unit (exemplified by a degree-of-risk determination unit (10a)) that, in accordance with a recognition result by the object recognition unit (13), determines a degree of risk of collision with the object. In a case where determination is made as being risky by the determination unit, the control unit performs control of reducing a target speed of the moving body (1), and returns the target speed of the moving body (1) to the original one, in a case where determination is made as being safe by the determination unit for a predetermined period in a state where the target speed has been reduced.

  • Patent number: 8872732
    Abstract: Each liquid crystal display device of a multi-display system includes a light intensity correcting section, which performs a light intensity correction in which backlight intensity of each of light intensity control areas belonging to a liquid crystal display device including the light intensity correcting section is corrected in accordance with backlight intensities of adjacent areas which are adjacent to the light intensity control area. In a case where another liquid crystal display device which is adjacent to the liquid crystal display device including the light intensity correcting section includes one of the adjacent areas, the light intensity correcting section accesses to the another liquid crystal display device via the communication section so as to obtain the backlight intensity of the one of the adjacent areas, in order to perform the light intensity correction in accordance with the obtained backlight intensity of the adjacent area.

  • Patent number: 8712080
    Abstract: It is expected to provide a display system, display control method and computer program for effectively outputting sound with plural display apparatuses in a two dimensional array. A control apparatus 2 is connected to a two dimensional array display apparatus unit made with display apparatuses 1, 1, . . . configuring a multivision system. A controlling unit 20 of the control apparatus 2 obtains position information for the display apparatus unit in the two dimensional array. Based on the position of each display apparatus 1 in the two dimensional array display apparatus unit, the controlling unit 20 decides the presence or absence of output sound and selects the channel for the output sound.

  • Publication number: 20110044212
    Abstract: In a terminal apparatus used by a speaker, sounds are inputted via a microphone to perform sound recognition processing and morphological analysis, a character string obtained as a result of the analysis is extracted using a predetermined condition, and the extracted character string is transmitted to other terminal apparatuses via a conference server apparatus. On each of the other terminal apparatuses, the extracted character string, which has been received, is displayed in a selectable manner. The selected character string is displayed in a superimposed manner on an image of shared document data. The character string converted from sounds uttered by the speaker at a conference is freely placed on the shared image, thereby effectively aiding a conference participant to make a note at the conference.
