  • Publication number: 20220237549
    Abstract: A system calculates, by executing an optimum parameter model, an optimum parameter group used to generate an allocation plan based on input data including all or part of allocation information of human resources in an organization. The optimum parameter model is a machine learning model to which the input data is input and from which an optimum parameter group is output. For each time point, the system generates an allocation plan based on the input data corresponding to the time point and based on a given parameter group, and calculates an optimum parameter group based on the allocation plan, correct data that obeys manual correction of the allocation plan, and the given parameter group. The system performs learning of the optimum parameter model based on a data set (including the input data or a characteristic amount of the input data, and the optimum parameter group) for each time point.

  • Patent number: 8158209
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for coating a surface of a work with a thin resin or plastic film suitable for use in imprinting a pattern by impressing a master pattern on a transfer surface of a mold on the coated resin film. A curable resin liquid is coated on a work by the use of an inkjet feed means having a plural number of inkjet nozzle holes in a row or rows on a nozzle assembly, in association with actuators to propel droplets of resin liquid from the respective inkjet nozzle holes in controlled timings while moving the inkjet feed means and the work relative to each other.

  • Patent number: 8034277
    Abstract: An apparatus for transferring a pattern of minute surface structures, using a pair of press members which are located opposingly for movements toward and away from each other. One press member is adapted to support thereon a mold having on a transfer surface a master pattern of minute structures to be transferred, while the other press member is adapted to support thereon an annular substrate plate having a curable resin layer coated thereon and to press the resin layer against the transfer surface of the mold to transfer said minute structures to the resin layer. The mold is provided with a circular center hole defining at least three small-diameter segments and three large-diameter segments alternately and at uniform angular intervals along an inner periphery of the mold. The annular substrate plate has an inside diameter exactly matching with the small-diameter segments at the inner periphery of the mold.

  • Patent number: 7964135
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for transferring a pattern of minute dents and projections to an energy ray-setting resin layer coated on a substrate plate by pressing a master pattern on a transfer mold, followed by irradiation of energy rays. The pattern transfer method comprises the steps of pressing a master pattern on a transfer mold against the resin layer under a predetermined imprinting pressure, irradiating the resin layer under the imprinting pressure with energy rays, interrupting the irradiation of energy rays and at the same time cancelling application of the imprinting pressure and holding the resin layer and the transfer mold in a non-pressed state to relieve the resin layer of internal stresses, and recommencing irradiation of the resin layer with energy rays to complete hardening of the resin layer which is held in contact with the transfer mold in a non-pressed state.

  • Patent number: 7452197
    Abstract: On an application stage of resin are provided two (2) sets of dispensers 20 and 40. The one dispenser 20 supplies the resin directing to an upper side corner on a liquid crystal cell 1, while the other dispenser 40 directing to a lower side corner thereon. The dispenser 40 has a syringe 41 and a needle-like nozzle 42, and the needle-like nozzle 42 emits the resin, directing upward obliquely, onto the lower side corner. Thereby, the resin can be supplied between an edge portion of a lower substrate and a lower surface of a connecting board, but without turning over the panel for display, such as, a liquid crystal cell, etc.

  • Patent number: 6911101
    Abstract: From a supply reel which is set in position at an ACF (Anisotropic Concuctive Film) feeding station, an ACF tape having an ACF laminated on one side of a liner tape is drawn out by an ACF bonding means. At least two reel mount members are provided on a reel stand at the ACF feeding station to mount two ACF tape supply reels concurrently thereon. The reel stand is connected to a switch means thereby to switch the two reel mount members either to an operating or tape supplying position or a standby position. As soon as an ACF tape from a supply reel in the operating position is consumed completely, a fresh supply reel in the standby position is switched into the operating position to continue the supply of the ACF tape.

  • Patent number: 6887330
    Abstract: Carrier tapes, each carrying electronic circuitry parts at predetermined intervals on a carrier portion, are successively and continuously fed to a punching station from a tape feeding station with at least a pair of tape supply reels. While a carrier tape from a first supply reel is being fed to the punching station, a carrier tape from a second supply reel is set in a standby position. As soon as the carrier tape from the first supply reel is consumed to a last electronic part, a head end of the carrier tape from the second supply reel is spliced to a tail end of the carrier tape of the first supply reel by means of tape holder members located in the course of a tape supply route between the tape feeding station and the tape punching station, thereby make replacement of the tape supply reel quicker and easier.

  • Publication number: 20040069112
    Abstract: At a tape feeding station which is arranged to reel off an electronic parts carrier tape having a large number of electronics circuitry parts formed successively in a predetermined pitch on its carrier tape portion, at least a couple of reel support shafts are provided to replaceably support tape supply reels thereon. A carrier tape from one of the two supply reels is fed to a tape punching station along a predetermined tape supply route to punch out electronic circuitry parts successively from the tape. While a carrier tape is being supplied from one supply reel, the other supply reel is set in a standby position. A fore end portion of the carrier tape from the standby reel is disengageably retained on a tape switching means.
