Abstract: An image forming apparatus comprises: a plurality
of image forming means 7 arranged along a line, which
include image carriers and developing means for
developing latent images formed on the image carriers,
respectively; and an exposure means 6 which emits laser
beams for exposure to form latent images on the
respective image carriers, wherein the exposure means 6
comprises a plurality of laser beam sources to be
modulated according to image data corresponding to the
image carriers 17, a common polygon mirror 21 which is
arranged horizontally or vertically and in which laser
beams from the laser beam sources are reflected at a
common reflection facet of the polygon mirror 21 and are
thus deflected, and optical paths for deflecting the laser
beams in non-parallel with each other toward the
respective image carriers 17. The apparatus further
comprises a recording means which transmits toner
images developed on the image carriers 17 to superpose
and record the toner images; and a fixing means 40 for
fixing the recorded toner images. The heat at the bearing
of the polygon mirror is reduced so as to reduce the
fluctuation in temperature of the exposure means,
thereby achieving the formation of high quality images.

Abstract: A novel feeder construction, and method of operation, that is easily interfaced to a
variety of conventional pick-and-place machines and can readily and reliably feed components
suspended from a carrier for pickup at a pickup location by the pick-and-place machine. In a
preferred embodiment, the carrier with suspended components is fed in a line spaced laterally
from the pickup location. The lead component when separated from the strip must then be
moved laterally to the pickup location. By laterally spacing the carrier strip of components from
the pickup location it is ensured that the feeder parts involved in separating the component from
the carrier do not obstruct movement of the vacuum nozzle of the pick-and-place machine
during the pickup operation and advancement of the carrier to present the next component.

Title: Nitride semiconductor chip and manufacturing method
Inventor: SHIRO SAKAI
IPC: H01L21/02
Filed: 2002-01-08
Abstract: A method for manufacturing a nitride semiconductor device in
which nitride crystals are sequentially grown on a substrate such
as sapphire by MOCVD or the like, and p electrode and n electrode
are formed. The wafer is not cut along two perpendicular directions,
but rather is cut along two directions that form a 120 degree angle,
to obtain a rhombus shaped semiconductor chip. Because the wafer
has a six-fold rotation symmetry, by cutting the wafer at an angle
of 120 degrees, the cutting directions are equivalent and the wafer
can be cut in directions along which it can be easily split.

Abstract: As a tongue 10 is inserted into a buckle 1 of the present invention in
a state where restraint portions 4a, 4b of a lock slider 4 are positioned
below a latch member 3, an ejector 6 moves leftward and presses the lock
slider 4. As the lock slider 4 moves leftward, the restraint portions 4a, 4b
are displaced from shoulder portions 3d, 3e of the latch member 3. Then,
the latch member 3 pivots about the shafts 3a, 3b in the clockwise direction
so that a joggle portion 3c enters into an latch hole 10a and the lower
surfaces of the restraint portions 4a, 4b are positioned above the shoulder
portions 3d, 3e. As the tongue 10 is released, the lock slider 4, the ejector
6, and the tongue 10 move rightward so that the tongue 10 is engaged with
the joggle portion 3c and the restraint portions 4a, 4b are positioned right
above the shoulder portions 3d, 3e. Therefore, the latch member 3 is
restricted from pivoting in the counter-clockwise direction and is held in
the engaged position. This simplifies the movement of the lock member
and improves the controllability of the latch member.

Abstract: A new and improved gear pump assembly, and a new and improved hot melt adhesive applicator assembly having a plurality of the new and improved gear pump assemblies incorporated therein, wherein each gear pump assembly is mounted upon the applicator assembly in an entirely independent manner such that each gear pump assembly can be individually removed from the applicator assembly, and replaced back onto the applicator assembly, as may be necessary in connection with, for example, repair or maintenance procedures. The independence of each gear pump assembly also effectively prevents damage to one gear pump assembly from adversely affecting the operation of the other gear pump assemblies. Furthermore, in view of the fact that a driven gear of each gear pump assembly projects radially outwardly through an end face of the gear pump assembly so as to operatively engage a common drive shaft of the applicator assembly, as opposed to having the common drive shaft of the applicator assembly pass through side portions or faces of all of the gear pump assemblies, not only is the aforenoted independent mounting of the plurality of gear pump assemblies upon the applicator assembly facilitated, but in addition, the need for all dynamic shaft seals, normally necessarily provided between the common drive shaft and one of the gear members of each gear pump assembly, is eliminated.
