  • Patent number: 9847300
    Abstract: Product management and/or prompt defect analysis of a semiconductor device may be carried out without reducing the throughput in assembly and testing. Unique identification information is attached to a plurality of substrates (lead frames) used in manufacturing a semiconductor device (QFP) and to a transport unit for transporting a plurality of substrates, respectively. Identification information (rack ID) of the transport unit and identification information (substrate ID) of the substrate stored into the transport unit are associated with each other. The substrate is taken out from the transport unit set to a loader unit of each manufacturing apparatus and supplied to a processing unit, of the apparatus and in storing the substrate, the processing of which is complete, into a transport unit of an unloader unit of the apparatus, an association between identification information of the transport unit and the identification information of the substrate is checked.

  • Patent number: 9845814
    Abstract: A hydraulic fluid flowpath includes a first flowpath and a second flowpath. The first flowpath connects a first pump port and a first chamber in a hydraulic cylinder. The second flowpath connects a second pump port and a second chamber in the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic fluid flowpath forms a closed circuit between a hydraulic pump and the hydraulic cylinder. A bleed-off flowpath bleeds off a portion of the hydraulic fluid from the second flowpath. A control valve connects the second flowpath to the bleed-off flowpath via a throttle when an operation amount of an operating member for lowering a work implement is less than a predetermined operation amount so that a hydraulic pressure in second flowpath is maintained at less than a relief pressure. The predetermined operation amount is less than or equal to the maximum operation amount for lowering the work implement.
