Abstract: A method of inspecting a workpiece during a production run in which workpieces are supplied to workstations by an autoloader. In accordance with the method, the supply of the workpieces by the autoloader is performed in accordance with a supply control routine. When it is desired to inspect a workpiece in a workstation, the supply control routine is interrupted after its then current cycle and the autoloader is used to move the workpiece to a quality control station. The supply of the workpieces in accordance with the supply control routine is then resumed. While the autoloader is operating in accordance with the supply control routine, the workpiece is inspected. If the workpiece is acceptable, the supply control routine is again interrupted after its then current cycle and the autoloader is used to move the workpiece to an output area. The supply of the workpieces in accordance with the supply control routine is then resumed again.

Abstract: This device for manufacture of an electronic circuit forms a desired circuit pattern P by permeating liquid material (10, 40) including a material for circuit pattern formation into a permeable electronic substrate (100). This device for manufacture comprises an ink jet type head (20, 50) which discharges liquid material (10, 40) against an electronic substrate (100), and a shifting device (70) which relatively shifts the ink jet type head (20, 50) and the electronic substrate (100) with respect to one another.

Abstract: A method of controlling an autoloader that supplies workpieces to a plurality of workstations. Each of the workstations is operable to generate and transmit a call signal, a ready signal and an error signal. In accordance with the method, the autoloader supplies workpieces to the workstations based on the chronological order of the receipt of call signals from the workstations. If an error signal is received from a workstation that is to be supplied with a workpiece, the autoloader instead supplies the workpiece to the next workstation that is to be supplied.

Abstract: A titanium dioxide slurry for ink jet ink, which comprises water and surface-treated titanium dioxide particles dispersed in the water, the surface treatment being a treatment with an inorganic phosphoric acid compound. Also disclosed is an ink comprising the titanium dioxide slurry.

Abstract: A soft alumite is produced by forming an oxide film on the surface of an aluminum substrate. Printing is performed on a porous layer formed on the surface of the soft alumite while heating the soft alumite. Alternatively, printing is performed with a dye-based ink on a porous layer formed on the surface of the soft alumite.

Abstract: A method of identifying workstations that performed work on a workpiece in a work line having a plurality of zones, wherein each zone includes workstations that perform the same type of operation. In accordance with the method, the workpiece is moved to and from workstations by a plurality of autoloaders. After the workpiece is worked on in a particular workstation, an autoloader moves the workpiece to a drop-off station where the workpiece is marked with a mark indicating that the workstation worked on the workpiece. When the workpiece is finished, the workpiece has a plurality of marks disposed in different locations of the workpiece. For each of the marks, the location of the mark in combination with the nature of the mark comprises a code that identifies a particular one of the workstations that worked on the workpiece.

Abstract: Measurement is made of centrifugal force produced on a crankshaft to be tested that is being rotated about its rotation axis, to provide centrifugal force variation information of the crankshaft. Also, measurement is made of errors in respective rotational phases of crankpins of the crankshaft about rotation axes of the crankpins. Dummy information, comprising rotational unbalance data representative of rotational unbalance components to be removed from the centrifugal force variation information of the crankshaft, is created using the measured errors in the respective rotational phases. Then, an initial rotational unbalance value of the crankshaft is determined, using the dummy information and the centrifugal force variation information of the crankshaft.

Abstract: The invention provides a fuel cell having a gas flow path formed therein provided with a space through which a reactive gas flows and a process for the production thereof. More particularly, in ejection devices, a first gas flow path is formed in a first substrate which has been conveyed by a belt conveyor driven by a driving device according to signal from a controlling device. Subsequently, the first substrate which has been conveyed by the belt conveyor is processed in an ejection device to form a first collector layer thereon and processed in an ejection device to form a first gas diffusion layer thereon. Subsequently, the first substrate which has been conveyed by the belt conveyor is processed in an ejection device to form a first reactive layer thereon and processed in an ejection device to form an electrolyte membrane thereon.
