Patent number: 12287637Abstract: An autonomous product picking system includes product pick up stations at different locations within a facility having call stations with activation buttons at a user interface activated by an operator to transmit call requests when the products are needed to be picked up and to transmit completion signals when the products have been picked up. An automatic guided vehicle is movable within the facility between the product pick up stations and a product drop off station. A system control module guides the AGV within the facility and includes a system communication module communicatively coupled to the AGV and the call stations. The system communication module receives the call requests and the completion signals from the call stations when the activation buttons are activated.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2020Date of Patent: April 29, 2025Assignee: TE Connectivity Solutions GmbHInventors: Swapnilsinh Solanki, Xinping Deng, Jiankun Zhou, Roberto Francisco-Yi Lu, Fabio E.

Publication number: 20250018443Abstract: A wafer cleaning apparatus provided by the present invention comprises a rotary shaft, a chuck arranged on the top of the rotary shaft for retaining the wafer, a fixed shaft coaxially passed through the rotary shaft, and an upper end cover and a lower end cover that block the top and bottom of the fixed shaft respectively. Wherein, the fixed shaft is a hollow shaft with at least one circle of exhaust holes provided on the wall of the fixed shaft. The lower end cover is arranged with a gas inlet port, through which a protective gas is provided to the interior of the fixed shaft. The protective gas forms a positive pressure in the annular space between the fixed shaft and the rotary shaft through the at least one circle of exhaust holes. The present invention provides positive pressure protective gas to the spacing between the fixed shaft and the rotary shaft by opening exhaust holes on the wall of the fixed shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2022Publication date: January 16, 2025Applicant: ACM RESEARCH (SHANGHAI), INC.Inventors: Xideng He, Yang Han, Zhaoming Zhong, Tianyu Huang, Yunxiang Zhao, Xiaofeng Tao, Xinping Deng, Shena Jia, Hui Wang

Patent number: 12172204Abstract: A press machine includes a frame, a punch die supported by the frame, a guide track supported by the frame, and a heater coupled to the guide track. The punch die is driven through a punch stroke to punch a strip advanced through the press machine at a punch zone. The guide track has a guide rail forming a guide channel configured to receive the strip. The guide channel is aligned with the punch zone to guide the strip to the punch zone. The heater heats the guide rail to an elevated operating temperature. The guide rail is used for conduction heating of the strip as the strip passes through the guide track.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2020Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: TE Connectivity Solutions GmbHInventors: Xinping Deng, David D.
