A system and method for separating particles is disclosed in which the particles are exposed to a moving light intensity pattern which causes the particles to move a different velocities based on the physical properties of the particles. This system and method allows particles of similar size and shape to be separated based on differences in the particles dielectric properties.

This invention is to appropriately separate a bonded substrate stack regardless of some distortion in the bonded substrate stack or the like. This separating apparatus includes a first nozzle which forms a jet with a large width and a second nozzle which forms a jet with a small width. When the outer portion of a bonded substrate stack is to be separated, a jet formed by the first nozzle is used. After that, when a portion inside the outer portion is to be separated, a jet formed by the second n...

A signal separating system 1 comprises a frequency conversion element 3, a dynamic filter component 4 with associated coherent stop slot and non-coherent passband, optionally a signal wave enhancer 7 with bypass, and a frequency reconversion element 8. In operation of the system, mixed incoming signals 12 (CW or pulse signals) having known interference and unknown emission components can be effectively separated, permitting a virtually instantaneous separation of the known interference from the ...

A method and apparatus for separating an IC component (1) from a board (3). The method includes the processes of positioning a tool (21) just above the IC component, thereafter moving the tool down into a specified position, making the tool cover the IC component that is mounted on the board via an adhesive material, solder, or paste, and separating the IC component from the board by turning the tool. Through these processes, the IC component can be separated with a relatively small force, so th...

A lift off process is used to separate a layer of material from a substrate by irradiating an interface between the layer of material and the substrate. According to one exemplary process, the layer is separated into a plurality of sections corresponding to dies on the substrate and a homogeneous beam spot is shaped to cover an integer number of the sections.

An ignition coil for an internal combustion engine minimizes the propagation of cracks in the encapsulate material surrounding the components of the ignition coil and provides a supplemental dielectric barrier. In one embodiment, the ignition coil comprises a housing, an outer core, an inner coil, and a coil assembly. The housing includes a bottom wall connected to an outer wall extending around the periphery of the housing. The outer core is positioned inside the outer wall, while the inner cor...

Disclosed in a capping board for use to support hanging legs of anodes and cathodes within adjacent electrolytic cells. This capping board has a main body having a bottom surface shaped to fit onto upper edges of the adjacent cells, and a top surface. A first set of spaced part insulating blocks project from the top surface. This first set of blocks extends in line all over the length of the capping board on one side of the main body. A second set of spaced part insulating blocks also projects f...

The present invention provides a separating agent for enantiomeric isomers having no large UV absorption, as represented by an aromatic group, and having high asymmetric recognizability, particularly, high asymmetric recognizability in an aqueous mobile phase, or a separating agent for enantiomeric isomers containing a polysaccharide alicyclic ester derivative free from an aromatic group as an effective component.

A gas separation method is provided in which, when separating a first component and a second component from a mixed gas containing a plurality of components by using a pressure swing adsorption method, these components can be efficiently recovered and cost reduction can be achieved. Between an adsorption step and a regeneration process step, which use a first adsorption column containing a first adsorbent on which the first component is less readily adsorbable and the second component is absorba...

There is provided an apparatus and methods for separating an article of laundry from a bundle of articles. The bundle is located in a truck which is clamped into a carriage by means of clamping arm or attached to guide rails. The truck is moved by suitable drive means in a controlled manner beneath a grip device which is movable into and out of the truck. The grip device is mounted on a carriage which is movable upwards relative to a frame by means of a winch and downwards by gravity. The grip d...
