  • Patent number: 11959795
    Abstract: A combined weighing system 1 includes a first X-ray inspection device 20, a combined weighing device 40, a bag making and packaging device 50, a weight inspection device 60, a second X-ray inspection device 70, and a management device 90 that manages each device. The management device 90 revises a weight conversion table of the first X-ray inspection device 20 and a correction value of the combined weighing device 40 based on an average value of weights of products B, which is calculated from a result of inspection over a certain time period in the weight inspection device 60.

  • Patent number: 11901162
    Abstract: A vacuum processing apparatus of the present invention is a vacuum processing apparatus which performs plasma processing. The vacuum processing apparatus includes an electrode flange, a shower plate, an insulating shield, a processing chamber in which a processing-target substrate is to be disposed, an electrode frame, and a slide plate. The electrode frame and the slide plate are slidable in response to thermal deformation that occurs when a temperature of the shower plate is raised or lowered. The shower plate is supported by the electrode frame using a support member penetrating through an elongated hole. The elongated hole is formed so that the support member is relatively movable in the elongated hole in response to thermal deformation that occurs when a temperature of the shower plate is raised or lowered.

  • Patent number: 8858244
    Abstract: Abnormal noise at a battery pack busbar module is prevented. A battery pack busbar module includes busbar accommodating portions each accommodate busbars which connect in series batteries, cover portions coupled by hinges to one of side edges of openings in the busbar accommodating portions to cover the openings, and lock portions to lock the cover portions by bringing first engagement portions provided on the other side edges of the busbar accommodating portions and second engagement portions provided on the cover portions into engagement with each other, and ribs projecting from the cover portions to come into abutment with the busbar accommodating portions are formed in positions spaced away from the lock portions, a height of the ribs being set such that the second engagement portions are not brought into engagement with the first engagement portions when the ribs abut the busbar accommodating portions.
