Abstract: A reticle stage moves while holding the reticle. A stage controller detects the acceleration of the reticle stage based on the results of detection of an laser interference system. A main control system controls movement of the reticle stage so that the acceleration detected by the reticle stage becomes within a predetermined range of acceleration of the reticle stage where offset will not occur in the reticle. An image of the pattern formed on the reticle is transferred to a wafer through a projection optical system while synchronously moving the reticle and the wafer.

Abstract: A thermoplastic resin composition affording a delustered shaped article which comprises (A) a rubber-modified copolymer with (B) an epoxy group-containing olefin polymer or an unsaturated carboxylic acid-modified olefin polymer (B').

Abstract: A thermosensitive recording material comprising (a) a support material, (b) an undercoat layer formed thereon, comprising a polyvinyl alcohol having a saponification ratio ranging from 80 mole % to 95 mole %, which serves as water-soluble binder agent, a first water-resisting-property-improvement agent and a first organic filler, (c) a thermosensitive coloring layer formed on the undercoat layer, comprising a leuco dye, a color developer capable of inducing color formation in the leuco dye upon application of heat thereto and the same polyvinyl alcohol as first mentioned and (d) an overcoating layer formed on the thermosensitive coloring layer, comprising the same polyvinyl alcohol as first mentioned, a second water-resisting-property-improvement agent and a second organic filler.

Abstract: A thermosensitive recording adhesive sheet capable of forming colored images thereon upon application of heat, comprising (a) a support material with print patterns on the front side or back side thereof, (b) a thermosensitive coloring layer formed on the support material, (c) an adhesive layer formed on the back side of the support material, opposite to the thermosensitive coloring layer, and (d) a disposable backing sheet which is attached to the adhesive layer and can be peeled off the adhesive layer when the thermosensitive recording adhesive label is used. When necessary, (e) a protective layer for protecting the thermosensitive coloring layer and for improving the thermal head matching properties of the thermosensitive coloring layer can be formed on the thermosensitive coloring layer.

Abstract: An automatic assembly machine having multiple assembling heads in which a multiplicity of parts are assembled on a principal part at different positions, characterized by comprising a movable table carrying the principal part, and a plurality of assembling heads, fixedly disposed above the table along the area of movement thereof, for feeding and assembling different parts, said table being driven under the control of a numerical control device for operating on the coordinates of a position corresponding to a selected one of said assembling heads and on the coordinates of positions on the principal part at which the parts are to be assembled.

Abstract: A thermoplastic resin composition excellent in impact resistance and moldability and improved in falling ball impact strength at a weld part which comprises (A) a polycarbonate resin having a reduced viscosity at 25.degree. C. in chloroform of 0.40 to 0.55 and (B) a diene-rubber modified resin comprising 10 to 100% by weight of a graft polymer of a diene rubber chosen from polybutadiene, styrene/butadiene copolymer and butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer, with an aromatic vinyl compound and at least one of a vinyl cyanide and an alkyl unsaturated carboxylate grafted thereon and 90 to 0% by weight of a copolymer of an aromatic vinyl compound with at least one of a vinyl cyanide and an alkyl unsaturated carboxylate. The diene-rubber modified resin has apparent melt viscosities at 250.degree. C. of 5.times.10.sup.3 to 1.times.10.sup.5 poise at a shear rate of 10.sup.2 sec.sup.-1 and of 1.5.times.10.sup.3 to 1.times.10.sup.4 poise at a shear rate of 10.sup.3 sec.sup.

Abstract: An automated assembly apparatus for inserting electrical parts into a printed circuit board includes parts supply means for supplying parts to parts conveyance means according to a predetermined sequence. The parts conveyance means is equipped with parts conveyance jigs and an identification code the detection of which determines the parts which are delivered to each jig for eventual conveyance to parts insertion means equipped with a plurality of chucks adapted to successively transfer the delivered parts, regardless of their size and shape, to an awaiting circuit board, and to insert the parts into the circuit board at prescribed positions according to a predetermined sequence.
