  • Patent number: 9782847
    Abstract: A gear machining device is provided which can machine an accurate gear by a cutting process by synchronously rotating a machining tool and a workpiece at a high speed. A machining tool includes roughing cutting teeth for roughing bottom lands and right and left side faces of teeth of a gear, right side face finishing cutting teeth for finishing the right side faces of the teeth, and left side face finishing cutting teeth for finishing the left side faces of the teeth. The cutting teeth thus cut different parts of the teeth of the gear. This can reduce cutting resistance and suppress self-vibration during the cutting process, thereby improving tooth trace accuracy of the gear.

  • Patent number: 9570333
    Abstract: A substrate treating apparatus includes a pod storage unit 9 between a substrate treating unit 11 and a pod storage and transport unit 7, with a transport robot 19 transporting FOUPs 3 between a load port 5 and a rack array 33. A transport robot 31 transports the FOUPs 3 between the rack array 33, a rack array 69 and a receiver 27. The transportation between the load port 5 and rack array 33 and the transportation between the rack array 69, rack array 33 and receiver 27 can be carried out substantially in parallel. As a result, the efficiency of transporting the FOUPs 3 can be improved to improve throughput. Moreover, an increase in apparatus size can be inhibited since only the pod storage unit 9 is disposed between the pod storage and transport unit 7 and substrate treating unit 11. The capacity for storing the FOUPs 3 can be increased to make effective use of the high throughput of the apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9478722
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a light emitting device includes forming a multilayer body including a light emitting layer so that a first surface thereof is adjacent to a first surface side of a translucent substrate. A dielectric film on a second surface side opposite to the first surface of the multilayer body is formed having first and second openings on a p-side electrode and an n-side electrode. A seed metal on the dielectric film and an exposed surface of the first and second openings form a p-side metal interconnect layer and an n-side metal interconnect layer separating the seed metal into a p-side seed metal and an n-side seed metal by removing a part of the seed metal. A resin is formed in a space from which the seed metal is removed.
