Abstract: A measuring instrument includes a main body casing, a detector on the main body casing and detecting an amount of stylus head displacement, a display on an outer surface of the casing; a plurality of key switches on the outer surface, a menu proximate the display on the outer surface, and a display controller controlling the display. The display includes a main display and a cursor display, which is arranged in a location alongside the menu and displays a cursor pointing to the menu, and performs control such that a measured value based on an amount of displacement is displayed, but the cursor is not displayed when in a measurement mode where the detector detects the amount of displacement, and such that a cursor is displayed so as to point to the menu corresponding to a selected menu when in a settings mode where measurement conditions are set.

Abstract: An adsorbent in a board conveying hand includes: a pad for adsorbing a board in contact with the board; and an elastic member interposed between the fork and the pad and provided with an adsorption passage for allowing an adsorbing fluid to pass between the fork and the pad, wherein a part of the elastic member is deformed, thus arbitrarily varying a projection amount of the pad from the fork.

Abstract: A spread illuminating apparatus includes a point-like light source, and a light guiding plate with a light incident face at which the point-like light source direct and an emission surface that exits spread illuminated light emitted from the point-like source and then introduced through the light incident face. A pair of inclined surfaces is provided between the adjacent point-like light sources arranged at the light incident face, the inclined surfaces being configured to incline and narrow as moving toward a front of the light guiding plate in a light emitted direction.

Abstract: A substrate transfer hand for unloading and loading a substrate with respect to a cassette and transferring the substrate, includes: a first driven roller configured to be rotated by a drive mechanism provided in the cassette when the hand is coupled to the cassette along a substrate unloading/loading direction. The substrate transfer hand further includes: a flat support bar configured to be coupled to the cassette; a second driven roller provided in the support bar; and a rotation transmitting unit for transmitting rotation of the first driven roller to the second driven roller such that the second driven roller is rotated in the same direction as the first driven roller.
