  • Patent number: 8108071
    Abstract: A method for coordinating cooperative robots is provided. The method includes following steps. An abnormal event is detected by a sensor disposed in an environment or in a robot. The abnormal event is broadcasted to the cooperative robots. Each robot determines whether the priority of the abnormal event is higher than that of its currently executing task. If the answer is “yes,” whether function attributes of the robot meet attributes of the abnormal event is then determined. If the function attributes of the cooperative robot do not meet the attributes of the abnormal event, the robot broadcasts to acquire help from other robots, thereby constituting an instantly designated task team. The instantly designated task team goes to where the abnormal event takes place to process the abnormal event. After the abnormal event has been eliminated, the instantly designated task team is dismissed and these robots resume their original tasks.

  • Patent number: 7547205
    Abstract: A microimprint/nanoimprint uniform pressing apparatus is used to provide uniform imprinting pressure to a molding material layer between a substrate and a mold. The uniform pressing apparatus includes a uniform pressing unit for being directly in contact with the mold or the substrate, so as to allow each point to have equal pressure during imprinting and utilize a simple structure to transmit uniform imprinting pressure.

  • Patent number: 7462320
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a demolding method and device, being used for detaching a mold and a substrate after completing an imprinting process, in which the mold is forced to detach from the substrate partially and form a gap therebetween by inserting at least a blade module between the two, and thus, as air is sucked into the gap and the adhesion force of vacuum effect exerting between the mold and the substrate is eliminated, the blade module is further applied to detach the mold from the substrate completely.
