  • Patent number: 10757851
    Abstract: An electronic component mounter including a suction nozzle to pick up an electronic component housed in a housing section; a switching device configured to switch air supplied to a nozzle hole of the suction nozzle to negative pressure air when picking up the electronic component, and to switch the air supplied to the nozzle hole of the suction nozzle to positive pressure air when mounting the electronic component that was picked up by the suction nozzle on the circuit board; and a blow supply device configured to supply a first blow to the suction nozzle for a specified time when the positive pressure air is being supplied to the nozzle hole by a switching device. After the specified time has elapsed, stop the first blow and supply a second blow with a lower pressure than the first blow to the suction nozzle.

  • Patent number: 9763335
    Abstract: A working machine for a board including a working device that selectively performs work for mounting conductive balls on a circuit board by a ball holder and work for transferring viscous fluid onto the circuit board by transfer pins, and a tray in which the viscous fluid is stored, when the conductive balls are to be mounted on the circuit board, the viscous fluid being transferred onto the circuit board by the transfer pins and the conductive balls having been immersed in the viscous fluid are mounted on the transferred viscous fluid. Accordingly, the conductive balls can be fixed onto the circuit board by the viscous fluid, which is transferred onto the circuit board by the transfer pins, and the viscous fluid that adheres to the conductive balls due to the immersion of the conductive balls in the viscous fluid.

  • Patent number: 9524095
    Abstract: The present technique relates to a display control device, a display control method, and a program that are capable of making inputtable gesture motions easy to notice. A display control unit causes a display unit to display a gesture motion guide in a first state. When a detecting unit for detecting gesture motions detects a predetermined gesture motion, the display control unit changes the guide corresponding to the detected gesture motion to a second state and then causes the display unit to display the guide. The technique according to this disclosure can be applied to an information processing terminal that includes a display unit, for example.

  • Patent number: 8400434
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus including a display control unit and an output unit. The display control unit displays image data of an operation unit including a rotary operation dial, and displays while rotating, according to a designated target volume value, the operation dial from a rotation angle position corresponding to a current volume value to a rotation angle position corresponding to the target volume value based on at least one of a predetermined speed and a predetermined acceleration speed. The output unit outputs a volume value corresponding to the rotation angle position of the operation dial displayed by the display control unit.

  • Patent number: 7675514
    Abstract: A three-dimensional object display apparatus includes a three-dimensional object generation section that generates a three-dimensional object by laying out a plurality of image data to surfaces of a solid. The three-dimensional object is made in a three-dimensional shape to be displayed on a display section. The three-dimensional object display apparatus also includes a selection operation section that enables a user to select a manner of presenting the plurality of image data to the user on the display section. The three-dimensional object display apparatus further includes a control section that switches, in response to the manner selected by the user, the three-dimensional shape of the three-dimensional object.

  • Publication number: 20060274060
    Abstract: The present invention allows a device to display image data in a visually easy-to-see manner to users. The device generates a cubic object OB1 or a cylindrical object OB2, which is a three-dimensional shape to be displayed on a display 6, by laying out a plurality of thumbnail images IM to surfaces of a virtual polyhedron KT1. The device subsequently allows a user to select through a “Classification by Category” button BT1 or an “Order of Time” button BT2 a manner of presenting the plurality of thumbnail images IM to the user. The device then switches its display format between the cubic object OB1 and the cylindrical object OB2 in response to the selected manner. Therefore, the device can display the thumbnail images IM in a visually easy-to-see manner to the user.
