  • Publication number: 20080257937
    Abstract: To provide an electronic component mounting system, an electronic component placing device, and an electronic component mounting method, which can prevent waste due to the place of an electronic component onto a unit substrate having a print failure. In the electronic component mounting method for mounting an electronic component on a multi-substrate in which a plurality of unit substrates are formed on the same substrate, the quality of a print state of a solder printed on electrodes formed on the plurality of unit substrates is determined by the test of the print state of the solder and a determination result is output to an electronic component placing device as solder test data in every unit substrate. In a component placing steps, a component placing mechanism is controlled based on the solder test data such that a component placing operation is performed only on the unit substrate in which the print state of the solder is determined to be good.

  • Patent number: 7083396
    Abstract: In a fluid apparatus used as a compressor, a swing support member is constructed of a hook-type adjustable joint, and supports a swing member in capable of swinging while restricting the swing member from rotating about a center axis of a shaft of the compressor. A variable mechanism portion is constructed of a rotary member rotatable around the shaft, the swing member and the like. A slant center around which the swing member swings is made to substantially correspond to a center of gravity of the variable mechanism portion. Therefore, a slant moment, for changing a slant angle of the swing member, is not structurally generated. Accordingly, even when the compressor operates, large vibration and large noise can be prevented, thereby improving durability of the compressor.

  • Publication number: 20060060263
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for manufacturing bamboo nails. The method includes horizontally laying down small bamboo plates, obtained by cutting a bamboo piece radially from the center axis thereof, in a press. The small bamboo plates are then pressed perpendicularly to the fibers to produce a compressed flat plate. Finally, the compressed flat plate is cut in the shape of a multangular column. Thus the strength of a wooden material is increased.

  • Patent number: 6957950
    Abstract: According to the invention, a compressor having a threaded screw connection portion formed directly on a fitting portion of the housing is provided. Since no through bolt or the like for connecting two-parts of the housing is used, the diameter of the housing can be reduced. However, in a case that a suction port and discharge port do not align with an external mounting structure, a mounting means able to slide on the housing and adjust the positions of mounting brackets at least in the direction of rotation is added.

  • Publication number: 20050193156
    Abstract: This invention provides a data processing system capable of performing an interrupt exception handling routine as many times as the number of times of occurrence of a request event for the same interrupt exception handling routine if the request event occurs a plurality of times. A software interrupt counter or a hardware interrupt counter for retaining the number of times of occurrence of an interrupt request generation event counts up when a software processing which generates a software interrupt or a hardware event that generates a hardware interrupt occurs, and counts down when a CPU performs a processing for removing the interrupt request. If the value of the software interrupt counter and the value of the hardware interrupt counter are not zero, a software interrupt request signal and a hardware interrupt request signal to the CPU are asserted.
