An application material container has a fixed portion and a container portion. The fixed portion is configured to be fixable to a fixing member included in an application mechanism. The container portion is provided with, in upper and lower portions thereof, a hole and a hole through which an application needle passes. A side surface of the container portion has a first flange. A lower surface of the first flange is in contact with an upper surface of the fixed portion. A gap is provided between a portion lower than the first flange on the side surface of the container portion and a side surface of the fixed portion. The container portion is horizontally movable within a range of the gap.

A dispenser includes a syringe container having a first end and a second end, the syringe container having a length direction extending between the first end and the second end, a plunger movable within the syringe container along the length direction of the syringe container and configured to be positioned on a surface of an underfill solution to be received within the syringe container at a first region between the plunger and the second end, a cap attached airtightly to the first end of the syringe container, a first gas supply line configured to supply a first gas into the syringe container through the cap, and a second gas supply line extending from the cap to the plunger, the second gas supply line being in fluid communication with the first region and configured to supply a second gas into the underfill solution to be received within the syringe container at the first region through a through hole of the plunger.

A Langmuir-Blodgett trough comprising a middle barrier, configured for creating two different layers of material over the surface of a single subphase liquid. The first layer of material is located on a first side of the middle barrier, while the second layer of material is located on a second side of the middle barrier. The through comprises an adjustment apparatus which comprises a first grooved edge, a second grooved edge, a first side barrier, and a second side barrier. The first side barrier and a second side barrier extend between the first grooved edges. The motion of the first and second side barriers is configured to adjust the surface areas of the first and second materials.

A vapor deposition mask preparation body in which a metal mask is provided on one surface of a resin plate for obtaining a resin mask, and a protective sheet with peel strength not less than about 0.0004 N/10 mm and less than about 0.2 N/10 mm in conformity with JIS Z-0237:2009 is provided on the other surface of the resin plate is prepared, with respect to the vapor deposition mask preparation body, the resin plate is irradiated with laser light from the metal mask side to form a resin mask opening corresponding to a pattern to be produced by vapor deposition in the resin plate, and the protective sheet is peeled off from the resin mask in which the resin mask opening corresponding to the pattern to be produced by vapor deposition is formed.

In one aspect, a method for permeating color into components includes the step of placing substrates inside a carrier. The method includes the step of placing the carrier inside an ultrasonic cleaning tank of an ultrasonic cleaning machine. The method includes the step of performing an ultrasonic cleaning in the ultrasonic cleaning tank. After the ultrasonic cleaning, the method transports the carrier with a robotic arm to a washing tank. The method includes the step of inserting, with the robotic arm, the carrier into the washing tank and neutralizing a substrate with water in the washing tank. The method includes the step of feeding warm water into a channel of the washing tank up to a specified level. The method includes the step of steaming the washing tank for a specified steaming time.

An adaptive hot melt feed system includes a melt system, a feed system, a gas control device, a sensor, and a controller. The melt system includes a heated vessel. The feed system is configured to deliver a solid material to the vessel of the melt system for melting. The gas control device is configured to control a supply of gas provided to the feed system to drive the solid material from the feed system to the melt system. The sensor can be configured to detect an amount of material in the vessel of the melt system. The controller is in electronic communication with the gas control device and is programmed to signal the gas control device to vary the supply of gas to the feed system based on a fill metric determined by the controller.
