Abstract: A wire bonding device for bonding a wire to a target includes: a prediction part which predicts, based on time-series data of a diagnosis result regarding an operation of the wire bonding device, a transition of a change from the diagnosis result in an initial state; and a setting part which sets a time point at which the prediction part predicts that an amount of change from the diagnosis result in the initial state reaches a first threshold value as a time point for performing maintenance of the wire bonding device. The wire bonding device allows the maintenance to be performed suitably.

Abstract: A high-precision input device which has less delay in signal transmission and can sense a plurality of input signals is provided. This input device includes a planar first input area and a second input area annularly formed around the periphery of the first input area. The input device outputs different signals when beating inputs are applied to the input areas. The surface of the first input area is almost entirely covered by a sheet-like first input sensor that is divided into left-side and right-side sensors. A plurality of second input sensors are arranged annularly in the second input area and they are connected to a conductive section. The conductive section is connected to a plurality of bypass members provided for the second input sensors so that the input device is provided with a plurality of paths for transmitting signals from each of the second input sensors.

Abstract: A high-precision input device which has less delay in signal transmission and can pick up a plurality of input signals is provided. This input device includes a planar first input area (30) in a predetermined region and a second input area (32) annularly formed around the periphery of the first input area (30). The input device outputs different signals when beating inputs are applied to the first and second input areas (30 and 32). The first input area (32) includes a sheet-like first input sensor (36) which is formed over the almost entire surface of the first input area. This first input sensor (36) is divided into left-side and right-side first input sensors (36a and 36b). The second input area (32) includes a plurality of second input sensors (38) which are annularly arranged in the second input area (32). The plurality of second input sensors (38) are connected to a conductive section (40).
