  • Publication number: 20020030285
    Abstract: A groove (3) having a V-shaped section is provided on a bonding surface (1a) of an IC chip (1) being as a first small part, while an elongate projection (4) having a V-shaped section to engage with the groove (3) of the first IC chip (1) is provided on a corresponding portion of a bonding surface (2a) of an IC chip (2) being as a second small part (2). Then, the IC chips (1, 2) are bonded together by the action of a holding force resulting from fitting the elongate protection (4) of the second IC chip to the groove (3) of the first IC chip (1), together with a bonding force produced between the bonding surfaces by interatomic force and metallic bond.

  • Patent number: 6344703
    Abstract: A pneumatic bearing motor with a pneumatic bearing capable of being downsized without lowering the mechanical rigidity thereof. A stator of the pneumatic bearing motor comprises a slot-less stator core and winding which is formed by winding a wire on the stator core into a toroidal shape in a maimer of regular winding. Since the stator does not have projections as exist in conventional stators, it is not necessary to form counterbores in a housing and make wall thickness of the housing large for bearing stress concentration caused by the counterbores. Thus, it is possible to reduce the wall thickness of the housing of the motor and downsize the motor.

  • Patent number: 6239528
    Abstract: A winding of a motor is formed by coiling a wire around a slotless stator core with combination of troidal coiling and array coiling. The toroidal coiling is carried out in a manner such that the wire is coiled without any intersecting turns in one direction for the formation of the winding as it is coiled rotating spirally. By this coiling method, the accuracy of the position of the winding in the direction tangent to the surface of the stator core can be improved. The array coiling is carried out in a manner such that the winding is formed in layers that are stacked on one another. By this coiling method, the accuracy of the position of the winding in the direction normal to the surface of the stator core can be improved. Thus, the overall thickness of the winding can be made uniform.

  • Patent number: 6232738
    Abstract: A plurality of electrostrictive elements 30 are located about the perimeter section of a table 2. The table is fixed to a table fixing member 3. The table fixing member 3 is prohibited from rotating by guide pins 19. When a servo motor 4′ constituting a rotational drive mechanism 4 is driven by passing a current through a stator 6 therein, the rotor 7 rotates. Thereby, the table fixing member 3, which has a female screw thread 10 that engages with a male screw thread 9 formed in the rotor 7, moves in a vertical direction. The table 2 also moves in a vertical direction and can be registered in a desired position. Inclination of the table 2 caused by processing errors in the male screw 9 and female screw 10 is adjusted to a horizontal position or a desired angle, by driving the electrostrictive elements 30.

  • Patent number: 5773781
    Abstract: An oscillating device is fixed to the lower end of a column of a profiling electrical discharge machining apparatus, and an electrode holder for holding a tool electrode is attached to the oscillating device. The oscillating device is composed of a block formed of a material with suitable elasticity and right- and left-hand piezoelectric elements embedded under a pilot pressure in the block. By alternately driving these piezoelectric elements, the tool electrode is subjected to a motion such that a displacement much smaller than the size of a gap between the tool electrode and a workpiece is repeated during a machining operation with a short period in a predetermined direction and a direction substantially opposite thereto.

  • Patent number: 5589086
    Abstract: An electric discharge machining apparatus generates an electric discharge by applying a voltage across a tool electrode and a workpiece. Axial movement amounts for controlling the tool electrode are first input into a plurality of corresponding position loop control sections and speed loop control sections to thereby control corresponding servomechanisms. An electric discharge machining condition corresponding to a gap between the tool and the workpiece is then detected by a gap condition detector. To maintain an appropriate electric discharge machining condition, a detected value and a target value of the tool are subtracted to produce a deviation value. The deviation value is then multiplied by axial components of a direction vector to produce retraction speed commands. Integrators integrate the retraction speed commands to produce correction movement amounts which are then added to the axial movement amounts and input into corresponding position loop control sections.

  • Patent number: 5340959
    Abstract: An electric discharge machine designed to prevent an impactive high-speed motion generated upon actuation of an electrode actuator from propagating to a quill, as well as to enable the rapid retreat of a tool electrode by the electrode actuator to be performed efficiently. The tool electrode is attached to a quill through an elastic supporting element and a piezoelectric actuator, with the elastic supporting element disposed on the side of the quill. The elastic supporting element has an elasticity whose degree is set so as not to adversely affect normal positioning of the tool electrode, and the piezoelectric actuator facilitates rapid retreat of the tool electrode. A support body includes a counter weight having a weight large enough to absorb the component of the impactive high-speed motion of the electrode actuator which acts toward the quill.
