A unit for automatically removing labels from a pharmacy container operates by heating the labels to soften the pressure sensitive adhesive thereon. After the adhesive is softened, the containers are rotated and brought into contact with a scrapper which peels off the label. The removed label falls into a container or directly into a shredding mechanism that is integral with the label remover. One embodiment of the device uses a chilled mandril inserted into the container to keep the container from softening when heat is applied to facilitate label removal.

A method for manufacturing a display device includes a stage; a first guide unit positioned on one side of the stage in a first direction and extending in a second direction crossing the first direction; and a first peeling unit disposed on the first guide unit, wherein the first peeling unit includes a first moving part configured to move along the first guide unit, a first rotating part coupled to the other side of the first moving part in the first direction and configured to rotate about an axis extending in the first direction, and a first gripping part coupled to the other side of the first rotating part in the first direction and disposed to overlap the stage.

A processing apparatus of a stack is provided. The stack includes two substrates attached to each other with a gap provided between their end portions. The processing apparatus includes a fixing mechanism that fixes part of the stack, a plurality of adsorption jigs that fix an outer peripheral edge of one of the substrates of the stack, and a wedge-shaped jig that is inserted into a corner of the stack. The plurality of adsorption jigs include a mechanism that allows the adsorption jigs to move separately in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction. The processing apparatus further includes a sensor sensing a position of the gap between the end portion in the stack. A tip of the wedge-shaped jig moves along a chamfer formed on an end surface of the stack. The wedge-shaped jig is inserted into the gap between the end portions in the stack.

A method of recycling a solar cell module includes an enclosing layer that encloses a solar cell therein, a light-receiving surface layer laminated on one surface of the enclosing layer, and a back sheet laminated on the other surface of the enclosing layer, the method including: a first removing step of mechanically removing the back sheet; a second removing step of mechanically removing from a side on which the back sheet is removed the entire solar cell and the enclosing layer to such a depth that a part of the enclosing layer having a predetermined thickness remains on the light-receiving surface layer, after the first removing step; and a third removing step of removing the part of the enclosing layer remaining on the light-receiving surface layer by immersion in a solution that causes swelling of the enclosing layer, after the second removing step, thereby improving an overall efficiency.

Methods of preparing laminate test samples for subsequent testing, including positioning the test sample within a fixture body, securing the test sample within the fixture body, applying a separating force to urge a first layer portion of the test sample away from a second layer portion of the test sample, and separating the first layer portion from the second layer portion to create a predetermined separation length along the test sample, provided that the predetermined separation length is established by an interaction between the fixture body and the test sample as the first layer portion is separating from the second layer portion.

A carbon fiber recovery method for recovering carbon fibers from a fiber reinforced plastic member having a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) layer on which a glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) layer is formed is provided. This method includes: forming a cut that penetrates through the GFRP layer and reaches the CFRP layer in the fiber reinforced plastic member; causing a heated phosphorus-containing solution to penetrate from the cut and separating the CFRP layer from the GFRP layer in the vicinity of an interface between the CFRP layer and the GFRP layer; and dissolving, by a resin solution, a resin part of the CFRP layer from which the GFRP layer has been removed and then recovering the remaining carbon fibers.

A feeder includes a discharge guide member which is provided on a feeder main body to communicate with a tape discharging section and guides such that a carrier tape which is discharged from the tape discharging section heads downward, a peeling member which is provided on the feeder main body and peels a cover tape from the carrier tape before the carrier tape which is conveyed by a front side sprocket reaches the tape discharging section, and a contacting and positioning member which is provided on the feeder main body, causes the cover tape which covers the carrier tape which is conveyed by the front side sprocket to contact the peeling member, and positions the carrier tape from which the cover tape is peeled and which is discharged from the tape discharging section at a regular position inside the discharge guide member.

A peeling method is provided. In a first step, a resin layer is formed over a support substrate, openings are formed along two opposite sides of a periphery of the resin layer in a top view, an element layer is formed over the resin layer and positioned on an inner side than the openings in the top view, and the support substrate and a counter substrate are bonded to each other so that an adhesive layer is in contact with the support substrate in the openings, thereby forming a process member. In a second step, an entire surface of the process member is irradiated with light from the support substrate side. In a third step, a blade is inserted into an end portion of the process member from an interface between the support substrate and the resin layer or from the resin layer, and is made to pass through the openings.

A flexible carrier mount for mounting of a carrier substrate when the carrier substrate is detached from a product substrate, detachment means being provided for debonding the product substrate with bending of the carrier substrate. A device for detaching a carrier substrate from one product substrate in one detachment direction having: a carrier mount flexible in the detachment direction for mounting the carrier substrate, a substrate mount for mounting the product substrate, and detachment means for debonding the carrier substrate from the product substrate with bending of the carrier substrate. A method for detaching a carrier substrate from a product substrate in one detachment direction with the steps: mounting the product substrate with a substrate mount and mounting the carrier substrate with a carrier mount flexible in the detachment direction and debonding the carrier substrate from the product substrate with bending of the carrier substrate.

A system for disassembling a display device includes a supporting part facing a window and supporting at least a portion of the window. A window fixing part is disposed on the supporting part and is configured to fix a position of the window with respect to the supporting part. A display panel stopper is positioned above the supporting part and is spaced apart from the supporting part by a predetermined distance. A window pressurizing part is configured to apply pressure to the second region of the window along a first orthogonal to an upper surface of the supporting part. A separating stick is movable along a second direction which intersects the first direction. The separating stick is configured to be inserted between the window and a display panel adhered to the window.
