The clarifying device clarifies a first board and a second board in the chamber when the measured pressure is at a predetermined degree of vacuum. The pressure controller controls both the discharge device and the gas feeding device so that the measured pressure may be equal to a target pressure. The pressing mechanism presses the first board and the second board in the chamber when the measured pressure is that target pressure. | 04-14-2011 |
20120285624 | Room Temperature Bonding Apparatus - A room temperature bonding apparatus includes angle adjustment means supporting a first sample stage holding a first substrate so as to be able to change a direction of the first sample stage; a first driving device driving the first stage in a first direction; a second driving device driving a second sample stage holding a second substrate in a second direction not parallel to the first direction; and a carriage support table supporting the second sample stage in the first direction when the second substrate and the first substrate are brought into contact. The apparatus can impose a load exceeding a withstand load of the second driving device on the first and second substrates. Further, the apparatus uses angle adjustment means to change direction of the first substrate to be parallel with the second substrate and uniformly impose the larger load on a bonding surface. | 11-15-2012 |

20080307421 | FLOW PROCESS EXECUTION METHOD, APPARATUS AND PROGRAM - A flow process executing apparatus receives an instruction specifying a position in a first flow process description document. When the process reaches the specified position during execution of a flow process in accordance with the first flow process description document, the flow process executing apparatus stops the flow process in accordance with the first flow process description document, and resumes the stopped flow process in accordance with a second flow process description document. | 12-11-2008 |
20090327868 | INTERMEDIATE APPARATUS AND METHOD - An intermediate apparatus that intermediates between a client of a first type of service and a second type of service converts a service definition document of the second type of service into a service definition document of the first type of service according to a predetermined rule, and converts a message between a client of the first type of service and the second type of service according to the predetermined rule. | 12-31-2009 |
20110090348 | IMAGING SYSTEM AND IMAGING METHOD THEREFOR - An imaging system includes one or more imaging apparatuses. The imaging system manages sets of setting values each including imaging parameters, and extracts imaging parameters having been used in imaging from the image data captured by the imaging apparatus. Then, the imaging system compares the managed imaging parameters and the extracted imaging parameters, and issues a warning to the user and instructs the imaging apparatus to invalidate imaging processing if the imaging parameters are different from each other. | 04-21-2011 |
20110149107 | IMAGE CONFIRMATION APPARATUS - An apparatus determines whether continuous shooting has been performed by an imaging apparatus based on an imaging signal transmitted from the imaging apparatus. If it is determined that the continuous shooting performed by the imaging apparatus and next shooting different from the continuous shooting is performed before all images related to the continuous shooting are acquired, the apparatus acquires an image of the next shooting on a priority basis compared to images of the continuous shooting, and displays the image acquired from the imaging apparatus on a display unit. | 06-23-2011 |
