Abstract: An automatic inspecting apparatus has a function for
generating a discharge signal for discharging a defective object
at a predetermined position. The automatic inspecting
apparatus comprises an imaging device for imaging a moving object,
a sensor for detecting the arrival of the object, an image
processing unit for processing images produced by the imaging
device to detect defective objects, and a discharge signal
generating unit for discharging defective objects at a
predetermined position. An ID number is assigned to each image
produced by the imaging device, and pulses generated by an
encoder start to be counted when each ID number is assigned. If
the object is determined to be defective after image processing
by the image processing unit, the discharge signal generating
unit generates a discharge signal when the number of pulses
counted for the corresponding ID number reaches a pulse number
equivalent to the distance between the sensor position and the
discharge position.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system and method
that deposits an electroless seed layer on a substrate
prior to subsequent processing. The system is
designed with flexible architecture and can be
configured in several ways. The electroless
deposition process is performed  in-situ  with an
electroplating process to minimize oxidation and other
contaminants prior to the electroplating process. The
system allows the substrate to be transferred from the
electroless deposition process to the electroplating
process with a protective coating to also minimise
oxidation. The system generally includes a mainframe
(214) having a mainframe substrate transfer robot
(228), a loading station (210) disposed in connection
with the mainframe, one or more processing facilities
(218) disposed in connection with the mainframe, and
an electroless supply (220) fluidly connected to the
one or more processing applicators (240). Preferably,
the electro-chemical deposition system includes a
spin-rinse-dry (SRD) station (212) disposed between
the loading station and the mainframe, a rapid thermal
anneal chamber (211) attached to the loading station,
and a system controller for controlling the deposition
processes and the components of the electro-chemical
deposition system. The electroless deposition fills
defects and discontinues in the activation, or seed,
layer and allows subsequent processing, such as
electroplating, to fill the remainder of the features
without substantial voids in the deposited material.

Abstract: A wing type ultrasonic transducer is disclosed. The

power, or ultrasonic energy, and is effectively usable in
water. This transducer is also free from a reduction in the
output power different from a conventional transducer with two
ultrasonic generators necessarily identified in both the

generator (1) has piezoelectric ceramic materials (2)(which dimension
is determined by resonant frequency and output power), with
two countermasses (3) respectively coupled to the outside ends of
the piezoelectric ceramic materials (2)(which dimension is
determined by resonant frequency and output power). A rod-like
resonator (4) is coaxially coupled to the outside end of each
of the countermasses (3) and is used to emit ultrasonic waves to a
liquid in a radial direction. An immersible housing (5) covers
the ultrasonic generator so as to accomplish a water tightness

solid resonator or a hollow resonator. In addition, the rod-like
resonator (4) is integral times as long as a half-wavelength
