  • Publication number: 20120290578
    Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concept reduce the burden of creating litigant sources of evidence or other evidentiary materials in connection with litigation in a court of law. Designation of at least one document file included in digital document information is accepted and designation of a language into which the designated document file is translated is accepted. The document file, the designation of which is accepted, is translated into the language the designation of which is accepted. A common document file representing the same content as that of the designated document file is extracted from digital document information recorded in a recording unit. Translation-related information representing that the extracted common document file is translated by invoking a translated content of the translated document file is generated, and, based on the translation-related information, a litigant-related document file is output.

  • Publication number: 20120246185
    Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concept can extract digital document information related with a specific individual to achieve a work load reduction associated with evidentiary material preparation for litigation. A specific individual is selected from at least one individual included in user information. Only digital document information which was accessed by the specific individual is extracted based on access history information regarding the selected specific individual. Additional information indicating whether or not document files in the extracted digital document information are each related with the litigation is set, and a document file related with the litigation is outputted based on the additional information.

  • Publication number: 20120239666
    Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concept can extract digital document information related with a specific individual to achieve a work load reduction associated with evidentiary material preparation for litigation. Recorded digital information can be displayed and user-specifying information can be set for each of a plurality of document files. The user-specifying information shows which user contained in user information one or more document files is related with. A recording unit can record the set user-specifying information. At least one user is selected, and a document file where user-specifying information which corresponds to the selected user was set is searched. Additional information showing whether or not the searched document file is related with the litigation is set via a display unit. A document file which is related with litigation is outputted based on the additional information.

  • Publication number: 20060119118
    Abstract: In a suction nozzle (20), a sucking surface (60) is made larger in area than a to-be-sucked surface of a component (55) and is configured arbitrarily so long as a width (G1) between mutually-opposed sides parallel to a longer side (110) of the component to be sucked is smaller than a width (G2) in a direction parallel to a shorter side (111) of the component to be sucked. The suction nozzle sucks a component at its sucking surface, with a longitudinal axis (O) of the sucking surface (60) kept inclined with respect to a direction (J) in which the component is supplied.

  • Publication number: 20020192369
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a vapor deposition method and apparatus which can supply gases onto a substrate fully stably with a favorable reproducibility, thus making it possible to reliably form a film having a favorable characteristic onto the substrate. A CVD apparatus 1 is one in which gas supply sources 31 to 34 are connected to a chamber 2 by way of gas supply pipes 51 to 54 equipped with MFCs 41 to 44 and valves 56 to 59. Also, bypass lines 71 to 74 joined to an exhaust pipe 4 are connected to parts 61 to 64 of the gas supply pipes 51 to 54. The bypass lines 71 to 74 are provided with valves 76 to 79. When the valves 76 to 79 and the valves 56 to 59 are opened/closed alternately from each other, the flow paths for each material gas can be switched over. The vapor deposition method in accordance with the present invention stabilizes the respective flow rates of material gases by such a valve operation, and then introduces these gases into the chamber 2.

  • Publication number: 20020062837
    Abstract: A cleaning method for a CVD apparatus which forms films on wafers by introducing film forming gas into a chamber by means of a shower head. In this method, the NF3 gas, which forms the cleaning gas including a compound containing fluorine atoms, is activated by exposure to microwaves by a microwave generating source, and then introduced into the chamber. The temperature of the lid section is raised by heating the lid section by means of a heater plate, or halting supply of cooling water to the lid section from the water supply source, whereby the temperature of the shower head during cleaning is raised above the temperature at which film formation onto the wafer is performed.

  • Patent number: 6227755
    Abstract: At the front end side of parts supply device 8, an engagement part 22 is provided that is fixed in the vertical and left/right direction by engagement with an abutment part 23 that is provided on the side of a parts supply table 7; and at the rear end side of parts supply device 8 a fixing shaft 28 in the horizontal direction is provided. In parts supply table 7, there is provided a toggle link mechanism having an abutment link 31 that can be rocked in the vertical direction, that is formed at its free end 31a with an engagement groove 32, which can be fitted into and engaged by this fixing shaft 28. The toggle link mechanism is so arranged that it biases the abutment link 31 towards two positions: an attitude in which this engagement groove 32 is directed upwardly, and an attitude in which it is horizontal or directed downwardly.

  • Patent number: 5692293
    Abstract: There is disclosed an automatic electronic part-mounting apparatus in which acceleration, acting on electronic parts, suction-held respectively by mounting heads, is reduced, thereby enabling stable mounting of the electronic parts. Cam levers 10 are pivotally mounted through respective pivot shafts 9 on a rotary member 8 which is rotated at a constant speed by a roller gear cam 19. One end of the cam lever is engaged with a fixed cam 7 whereas the other end thereof is slidably mounted through cam followers on a follower lever 12 slidably mounted on annular rails 11 in a housing 6. One end of the follower lever 12 is slidably engaged with a cam follower, and the other end of the follower lever 12 is mounted on each mounting head 13. With this construction, the acceleration of the mounting head 13 can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 4435443
    Abstract: A method for forming a protecting film on the side walls of a semiconductor device, e.g. a semiconductor laser, having an exposed PN junction at the side walls thereof is carried out by the following steps. The semiconductor device is placed on a substrate target made of a protecting film material. Energetic particles are impinged against the substrate target. Particles of the material are emitted from the substrate target and deposited on only the side walls to form the protecting film.
