  • Patent number: 10636708
    Abstract: Along dicing lines, cutting grooves that reach a rear surface from a front surface are formed by a first dicing blade in a semiconductor wafer, completely separating the semiconductor wafer into individual semiconductor chips by the cutting grooves. Thereafter, by a second dicing blade that is constituted by abrasive grains having a mean grit size smaller than that of the first dicing blade and that has a blade width wider than that of the first dicing blade, side walls of the cutting grooves, i.e., side surfaces of the semiconductor chips are polished, approaching a specular state.

  • Publication number: 20200047727
    Abstract: A vehicle braking device includes a master cylinder device, a motor cylinder device, first and second shutoff valves (solenoid valves) of a normally-open type which are provided in piping tubes (hydraulic pressure passages) providing communication between the master cylinder device and the motor cylinder device and which operate to open or close the hydraulic pressure passages, and an integrated control unit which performs drive control to close the solenoid valves in response to a pressure rise request. When a pressure rise request is received from any requester, the integrated control unit sets a valve closing characteristic in the course of closing the solenoid valves from the time of reception of the pressure rise request such that the valve closing characteristic for the pressure rise request issued by a second group requester is gentler than the valve closing characteristic for the pressure rise request issued by a first group requester.

  • Publication number: 20180231563
    Abstract: There are numerous proteins having different in vivo effects depending on variants. In order to gain a more accurate understanding of an in vivo effect of a protein, when the protein in a sample is quantified, it is necessary to measure an amount of each variant that can be present. Provided is a method for performing parallel quantification of variants of a protein having 2 or more variants using mass spectrometry. The method includes: protease-digesting a protein in a sample; detecting, using mass spectrometry, among peptides obtained by the protease digestion, peptides having amino acid sequences specific to the variants without separating the peptides; and determining amounts of the variants in the sample based on results of the detection.
