  • Publication number: 20240249225
    Abstract: A work management system includes a calibration instruction recorder and a work instruction recorder, wherein the calibration instruction recorder receives and stores a calibration work record of the calibration work from a first terminal, stores the calibration work record, stores device identification information included in the calibration work record as the device identification information, and stores “usable” or “not usable” as use propriety of the device, depending on whether the calibration determination result included in the calibration work record is “appropriate” or “inappropriate”. The work instruction recorder receives a work request from a second terminal and transmits the work contents to the second terminal when the use propriety of the device is “usable” and transmits an error notification to the second terminal when the use propriety of the device is “not usable”. The device is used for the work performed by the worker as a user of the second terminal.

  • Patent number: 9922952
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. A bonding tool with a wire tail extending out of the tip thereof is lowered to bring the tip of the wire tail into contact with a bonding surface of the semiconductor device. Next, the bonding tool in a direction intersecting with the axial direction of the bonding tool (Z direction) is moved to bend the wire tail with the tip of the wire tail in contact with the bonding surface. Then the bonding tool is lowered to form the wire tail into a predetermined shape such that the tip of the wire tail points upward. And then, a wire looping step, a second bonding step and a wire cutting step are performed. This allows the wire tail to be formed easily and efficiently into a predetermined shape.

  • Patent number: 9568000
    Abstract: A compressor includes a casing, a compression mechanism, a drive shaft, a main frame, a motor, a flow path forming member, and a temperature measuring mechanism. The casing stores lubricating oil in its bottom portion. The main frame has the compression mechanism placed on it and supports the drive shaft in such a way that the drive shaft may freely rotate. The flow path forming member forms an oil flow path at a space adjacent an inner peripheral surface of the casing. The oil flow path carries a flow of lubricating oil, which lubricates sliding portions including the compression mechanism and the drive shaft. The temperature measuring mechanism is disposed outside the casing. The temperature measuring mechanism measures the temperature of a section of an outer peripheral surface of the casing adjacent the oil flow path.

  • Patent number: 9190604
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for a thin board-shaped fired piezoelectric body has: a step of manufacturing, using a piezoelectric material, a green sheet having a ratio T/L of 0.000002 to 0.2, where T is the thickness and L is the maximum length within the surface after firing; and a step of obtaining the thin board-shaped fired piezoelectric body with reinforcing members for firing by performing firing after disposing the reinforcing members for firing by scattering at least on one surface of the green sheet so as to exclude the areas to be the thin board-shaped fired piezoelectric body later. The piezoelectric body which has excellent planarity and a thin board shape can be manufactured at low cost by the method.
