At least one of the imprinting segments is located in the working region. The workpiece is adapted to be imprinted in the working region through the corresponding imprinting segment. The flexible imprinting mold film is partially rolled around the driving roller set, the imprinting segment located in the working region is expanded from the driving roller set, and the driving roller set is adapted to drive the flexible imprinting mold film, such that at least another one of the imprinting segments rolled around the driving roller set is expanded from the driving roller set and moved to the working region. Besides, an imprinting method is also provided.

According to an embodiment, disclosed is a curing-device comprising: a stage; a light emitting module including a substrate disposed on the stage and a plurality of light emitting elements disposed on the substrate; and a plurality of transparent blocks disposed between the light emitting module and the stage, wherein the substrate includes a plurality of first sections and a plurality of second sections which are disposed in a first direction, the intervals in the first direction between the light emitting elements disposed in the first sections is smaller than the intervals in the first direction between the light emitting elements disposed in the second sections, and the plurality of transparent blocks are disposed on the first sections.

Provided is a conveyor belt monitoring system that determines whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the conveyor belt. The system successively detects elongation of a running conveyor belt using an elongation detection mechanism, and further successively detects tension acting on a core layer forming the conveyor belt on the basis of power consumption of the running conveyor belt. On the basis of data obtained, the system monitors the presence/absence of the abnormality in the conveyor belt using a control unit.

A partially molded substrate and a partial molding apparatus and a method thereof, which cover and mold each of one or more conductors formed on the substrate with the insulator to prevent the sizes of the substrate from being increased due to molding, thereby efficiently preventing high voltage between the conductors on the substrate from being applied, and thereby preventing interference around the conductor.

Systems and methods of curing a thermoset composite (TSC) to a target state of cure (SOC) are disclosed herein. The methods include heating the thermoset composite to greater than a threshold temperature. During the heating, the methods further include monitoring an actual temperature of the thermoset composite, determining a maximum temperature achieved by the thermoset composite, and determining an elapsed time that the actual temperature of the thermoset composite is greater than the threshold temperature. The methods further include ceasing the heating based, at least in part, on the maximum temperature of the TSC and the elapsed time. The systems include a heating assembly, a support mandrel, a thermoset composite, a temperature detector, and a controller programmed to perform the methods.

There is provided an apparatus for taking out a molded product that facilitates setting of a user-set lower limit value while maintaining on-off control. A negative pressure control portion includes a determining portion for determining a pressure valve resumption time period that is used to resume a suctioning operation such that an inflection point does not become lower than a user-set lower limit value. The negative pressure control portion continuously performs an off operation, which is performed to keep a pressure valve closed until the pressure valve resumption time period elapses after the suctioning operation is stopped, and an on operation, which is performed to open the pressure valve and keep the pressure valve open until a negative pressure reaches a stable value or an upper limit set value, until suctioning of a molded product is canceled.

According to an embodiment, disclosed is a curing-device comprising: a stage; a light emitting module including a substrate disposed on the stage and a plurality of light emitting elements disposed on the substrate; and a plurality of transparent blocks disposed between the light emitting module and the stage, wherein the substrate includes a plurality of first sections and a plurality of second sections which are disposed in a first direction, the intervals in the first direction between the light emitting elements disposed in the first sections is smaller than the intervals in the first direction between the light emitting elements disposed in the second sections, and the plurality of transparent blocks are disposed on the first sections.

A reconditioning device includes: a first shearing plate; a second shearing plate; and a housing. The housing includes: a first member configured to hold the first shearing plate and comprising an input for receiving a material; a second member connected to the first member to form an inner cavity, a portion of the inner cavity is located in a gap between the first shearing plate and the second shearing plate; and an output member connected to a pipeline of a production applicator and configured to output the material subsequent to shearing. The shaft extends through the second member, is connected to the second shearing plate, and is configured to be rotated to shear the material disposed in the gap between the first shearing plate and the second shearing plate.

A mold release agent monitoring system includes a molding tool and a supply of mold release agent is provided along with a spray device for applying the mold release agent to the molding tool. A monitoring system monitors an amount of mold release agent applied to the molding tool during a discrete spray cycle. The mold release agent monitoring system provides an output signal to an indicator system for indicating an amount of mold release agent applied during the prior discrete spray cycle. The monitoring system also monitors a total consumption of mold release agent over a determined time period and provides a warning to a consumer of a need to reorder more mold release agent when a remaining mold release agent level falls below a predetermined level.

A semiconductor imprint device includes a stage that supports a substrate, a film clamp that applies a film stamp including a pattern onto the substrate, a roller that applies pressure to the film stamp disposed on the substrate so that the pattern is transferred to the substrate, a camera that captures an image of the roller and the film stamp, and a controller that adjusts a position of the film clamp by using the image. The pattern is for forming a semiconductor device.
