Publication number: 20210169309Abstract: Provided is an endoscope treatment tool including: a tubular distal-end member that is attached to the distal end of an endoscope; an outer sheath having a channel extending in a direction along a longitudinal axis of the endoscope; a treatment-tool body; a linear connector that connects the distal-end member and the treatment-tool body. The treatment-tool body includes a bendable long insertion portion that is inserted through the channel, a treatment portion with which treatment is performed, and a rotating member. The rotating member includes a through-hole that extends along a plane intersecting the longitudinal axis and through which the connector is inserted. When the treatment-tool body is pushed in the longitudinal direction, the connector guides the treatment portion along a locus centered on an axis intersecting a plane including the axis of the distal-end member and the axis of the channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2021Publication date: June 10, 2021Applicant: OLYMPUS CORPORATIONInventor: Yuya MATSUOKA

Publication number: 20200230773Abstract: A method of processing a plate-shaped workpiece is provided. The method includes the steps of sticking a protective member to a face side of the workpiece, holding the face side of the workpiece on a holding surface of a chuck table with the protective member interposed therebetween, grinding a reverse side of the workpiece held on the chuck table to thin the workpiece by rotating a grinding wheel including grinding stones that contain abrasive grains, while a grinding fluid is being supplied from a grinding fluid supply nozzle to the reverse side of the workpiece, and after the step of grinding the reverse side of the workpiece, treating the workpiece or the grinding stones by rotating the grinding wheel and bringing the grinding stones into contact with the reverse side of the workpiece, while stopping supplying the grinding fluid from the grinding fluid supply nozzle.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2020Publication date: July 23, 2020Inventors: Shunichiro HIROSAWA, Shuzo MITANI, Yuya MATSUOKA

Publication number: 20200209265Abstract: The surface of an analysis port of an automatic analyzer, in which a reaction vessel is placed, is configured so as to reflect at least some of the light emitted from a light source. In a first state before the transfer of the reaction vessel to the analysis port by a reaction vessel transfer mechanism, the control unit causes the light source to irradiate light and causes a detector to detect light. In a second state after the transfer of the reaction vessel to the analysis port by the reaction vessel transfer mechanism, the control unit causes the light source to irradiate light and causes the detector to detect light. If the difference between the amount of light detected in the first state and the amount of light detected in the second state is less than or equal to a standard value, the control unit produces a warning.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2018Publication date: July 2, 2020Inventors: Yuya MATSUOKA, Akihisa MAKINO

Patent number: 10622230Abstract: Disclosed herein is a protective tape attaching method for attaching a protective tape to a wafer, the protective tape having a size corresponding to the size of the wafer. The protective tape attaching method includes: a bending step of bending a release paper to which an adhesive layer of the protective tape is previously attached, stretching the release paper to peel a front end portion of the protective tape from the release paper, and attaching the front end portion of the protective tape to the wafer; and an attaching step of pressing the other side of the protective tape opposite to the adhesive layer by using a pressure roller to thereby bring the adhesive layer of the protective tape into close contact with the wafer after performing the bending step.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2018Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: DISCO CORPORATIONInventors: Masaru Nakamura, Yuya Matsuoka

Patent number: 9685377Abstract: A wafer is divided into individual device chips along a plurality of scheduled division lines. A protective film is formed by coating liquid-state resin, which is hardened by irradiation of ultraviolet rays thereon, on the front face of the wafer. The protective film is hardened by irradiating ultraviolet rays upon the protective film. A protective tape is adhered on a front face of the hardened protective film. A modified layer is formed by irradiating a laser beam of a wavelength having a transparency to the wafer along the scheduled division lines with a focal point thereof positioned in the inside of the wafer. A back face of the wafer is ground while grinding water is supplied to thin the wafer to a given thickness and divide the wafer into the individual device chips along the scheduled division lines using the modified layer as a start point of the break.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2015Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: DISCO CORPORATIONInventors: Masaru Nakamura, Yuya Matsuoka
