  • Patent number: 7428329
    Abstract: An existing electronic part mounting device can have the function of correcting the parallax of a camera pickup image only by addition or modification of software without using a telecentric lens. For this, storage means stores in advance parallax data representing the relationship between the height of an electronic part to be picked up by a camera and a part size per pixel for each pixel of the pickup image or image magnification. When picking up the electronic part adsorbed by an adsorption nozzle (11) by the camera, the part height data on the height of the electronic part is acquired, so that according to the part height data and the aforementioned parallax data, a part size per pixel or image magnification is corrected for each pixel of the pickup image of the electronic part, thereby correcting the parallax of the pickup image of the electronic part.

  • Patent number: 6772491
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for a ceramic oscillator capable of controlling the oscillation frequency with a high accuracy is disclosed. In this method, a mother substrate is polarized, electrodes in discrete ceramic oscillator units are formed, the mother substrate is cut into discrete ceramic oscillator units, an outer package is applied to each of the ceramic oscillators, and thus a ceramic oscillator as a finished product is achieved. Herein, the polarization processing for the mother substrate is executed by finishing the application of a high DC voltage, when the antiresonant frequency fa of the mother substrate in a thickness vibration mode is measured while the voltage is applied to the mother substrate, and the antiresonant frequency fa which is being measured has reached a target value of the antiresonant frequency of the mother substrate during polarization corresponding to a target oscillation frequency of the ceramic oscillator as a finished product.

  • Patent number: 6356008
    Abstract: A method of polarizing a piezoelectric body having a plurality of piezoelectric layers and internal electrodes which are alternately laminated, includes the steps of applying an electric field to the piezoelectric body to polarize the body uniformly in the thickness direction, applying electric field in the opposite directions to the piezoelectric layers on both sides of each internal electrode whereby the piezoelectric layer only on one side of the internal electrode is polarization-inverted. The polarization degree polarization is made uniform by the polarization-inversion.

  • Patent number: 5513675
    Abstract: A pressurized fluid supply hose which conducts pressurized fluid discharged from a pump to a fluidically operated device is disclosed. A spiral tube formed by two spirally wound band members is fixed by caulking in one end of a steel pipe. The outer shape of the one end of the steel pipe includes a taper portion formed to slope gradually between a thin portion and an outer diameter portion. By effecting a caulking process with a caulking tool having a pressing portion extending in parallel to an outer surface of the steel pipe, the outer taper portion of the steel pipe is contracted to formed an inner taper portion at an internal surface thereof, and one end of the spiral tube is fixed to the inner taper portion. Because the spiral tube is gradually deformed along the inner taper portion of the steel pipe, it can avoided that a large clearance is formed between the two band members of the spiral tube.

  • Patent number: 5369862
    Abstract: A piezoelectric device is essentially composed of a piezoelectric transducer and a light transmitting protector. The protector is made of heat resisting glass, heat resisting acrylic, transparent ceramics or the like. By exposing the piezoelectric device to a laser beam and thereby causing it to penetrate through the protector to the piezoelectric transducer and to partly cut the surface of the piezoelectric transducer, or to change the intensity of polarization, mechanical coupling coefficient or dielectric constant of the piezoelectric transducer, its vibration frequency and resonance characteristic can be adjusted. If an ultraviolet-ray setting agent is used as adhesive, it can be hardened by exposing the piezoelectric device to ultraviolet rays to thereby cause it penetrate through the protector.

  • Patent number: 4516544
    Abstract: An engine comprising an intake port which has a separating wall projecting downwardly from the upper wall of the intake port. The separating wall defines a helical portion, an inlet passage portion tangentially connected to the helical portion, and a bypass passage interconnecting the inlet passage portion and the helical portion. The side wall of the helical portion has a slightly inclined portion located near the outlet portion of the bypass passage and expanding towards the separating wall so as to define a narrow passage portion between the inclined portion and the separating wall. A rotary valve is arranged in the bypass passage and is actuated by a vacuum-operated diaphragm apparatus. The rotary valve is opened when the amount of air fed into the cylinder of the engine is increased beyond a predetermined value.
