A holding device for holding a workpiece in an adjustable position while one or more operations are carried out thereon comprises a base having an annular flange which is received in arcuate recesses provided for such purpose in a pair of mutually spaced and mutually opposed support arms. At their opposite ends, such support arms are provided with opposed concave recesses receiving a generally spherical member carrying a workpiece attachment plate on which a workpiece can be supported. A shaft e...

A rectangular plate holder is formed with an approximately square recess defined by an upstanding perimetrical wall having two top studs on one side and one top stud on an opposed side wall lapped to be coplanar in a common plane. The base plates include five and three sets of mask clamping points for defining clamping points for five and three mask sizes. Each clamp includes a clamp assembly fastened to the base having a spring-loaded lower clamping arm below an upper set screw clamping point. ...

A hollow base member has a working surface and a plurality of spaced apart ways all extending parallel to an x-axis of a cartesian coordinate system. A plurality of hollow positioning members are slidably received in the ways. A plurality of vacuum hold down members are slidably sealingly received within bores in the base member and in the positioning members, respectively, and move along lines parallel to the z-axis relative to the working surfaces. A work piece is placed on a plurality of the ...

A holding device for holding test samples, in particular tablets, in a testing station for measuring the breaking strength of the test samples comprises a supporting structure carrying a rotatable mounting support supporting a plurality of press pads having gripper means or a cushion at their lower ends for being adapted to the shapes of the samples, each press pad being adapted to one particular sample shape, and which press pads align and/or hold the samples on a base plate. A drive means is p...

A holding unit holds a substrate to enable a surface of the substrate to be processed. The unit has a vacuum suction member that comes into contact with a peripheral portion of the surface of the substrate and sucks the substrate. A processing apparatus holds the wafer stably and allows an edge, a bevel portion and/or a back surface of the wafer to be processed.

A disk retaining mechanism that realizes a reduction of its thickness while maintaining a clamping force and a centering accuracy of the clamper, with a structure, in which: a guide (11) is disposed in a manner to closely confront a clamper retaining member (9); a clamper unit retaining portion of the clamper retaining member (9) has such a shape that a part of which an entire circumference is cut out; a clamper unit for depressing a disk (13) is provided with a disk holder (3) having an engagem...

The invention relates to a holding device for holding at least one optical plug that can be coupled with a coupling partner in an optical coupling system. According to the invention, the holding device comprises an inner holding part (11) into which the plug (3) can be locked and an outer holding part (12) in which the inner holding part (11) is arranged so as to be rotatable and laterally displaceable. The holding device enables a coupling of an optical plug with a coupling partner even for the...

To provide a data holding device and a data holding method with which data can be held even when the power source is interrupted and the held data can be restored accurately, which does not largely increase the circuit area, and which does not require fine timing control. In data restoring operation, a reading signal is applied to the other end 5b of a ferroelectric capacitor 5 with the power source of the data holding device 1 on. An electric charge corresponding to a polarization state stored ...
