Abstract: An LED assembly including a wiring substrate with an opening at its center; a heat sink housed inside the opening; an LED chip mounted on the heat sink; a connecting section for electrically coupling the LED chip and wiring substrate; and a transparent resin covering the LED chip and connecting section. Heat generated from the LED chip is efficiently dissipated, and high productivity is also achievable.

Abstract: A transfer apparatus for use in a press in which successive workpieces are sequentially transferred from one to the next of a plurality of working stages arranged along a line. The transfer apparatus has a transfer bar having a plurality of workpiece holding devices such as air chucks each being capable of holding and releasing the workpiece, and a driving unit provided at the rear side of the press.
