Patent number: 6208419Abstract: A bonding apparatus has a probe for causing an LED chip to emit light before the LED chip is bonded on a board, an imaging system for recognizing the center of a light-emitting area of the LED chip and recognizing coordinates of a contour reference point of the LED chip with respect to the recognized center of the light-emitting area, and a light-emitting-element holding mechanism for positioning the LED chip in a bonding position on the board based on the recognized coordinates of the contour reference point. The center of the light-emitting area of the LED chip can be positioned highly accurately in a desired position on the board without being adversely affected by variations in the contour dimensions of the LED chip.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 1999Date of Patent: March 27, 2001Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kiyohumi Yamamoto, Hiroshi Maeda, Satoshi Mino, Kazuhiro Nishida

Patent number: 5174095Abstract: In a method and apparatus for packaging a rolled web, a feed roller is located near each of opposed end faces of the rolled web to be packaged. The axis of rotation of a feed roller is inclined with respect to the radial direction of the roll, which radial direction intersects perpendicularly to the direction along which a wrapping material having side edge parts folded in L-shapes is fed, such that the outer periphery of the axis of rotation, which outer periphery is taken in the radial direction of the roll, is more forward with respect to the direction, along which the wrapping material is fed, than the inner periphery of the axis of rotation. A folding member is located on the side more forward than the feed roller with respect to the direction, along which the wrapping material is fed. The folding member is supported such that the space between the folding member and the opposed end faces of the roll varies periodically.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 1991Date of Patent: December 29, 1992Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takayuki Fujiwara, Shigehisa Shimizu, Hisashi Takahashi, Satoshi Mino
