Abstract: A method of operating a wire bonding machine is provided. The method includes the steps of: (a) supporting a substrate on a material handling system of the wire bonding machine; (b) changing a bend profile of the substrate; and (c) securing, after step (b), the substrate against a support structure of the wire bonding machine using a clamping element of the wire bonding machine, the support structure for supporting the substrate during a wire bonding operation, and the clamping element for securing the substrate to the support structure during the wire bonding operation.

Abstract: A bicycle front derailleur includes a base member, a movable member, and a chain guide with an angle adjustable plate member. The base member is configured to be coupled to a portion of a bicycle. The movable member has a first support side coupled to the base member and a second support side spaced from the first support side. The movable member is configured to move the second support side between a retracted position and an extended position relative to the base member. The angle adjustable plate member is coupled to the second support side for movement therewith. The chain guide includes a chain cage with the angle adjustable plate member operatively coupled to selectively adjust an angular orientation of the chain cage relative to the angle adjustable plate member.
