A sheet perforating apparatus includes a punch unit configured to punch holes in a sheet from an image processing apparatus. A dust box is below the punch unit and detachably attached to a case. A lid member is attached to the dust box and is displaceable between a closed state, in which the lid member closes an opening of the dust box, and an open state, in which the lid member does not close the opening of the dust box. When in the open state, the lid member is electrically grounded to weaken static electricity of punch chips dropped from the punch unit to the lid member and directs the punch chips towards the opening.

A processing apparatus includes a holding table including a holding surface that holds a back surface side of a substrate and a processing unit that processes the substrate held on the holding surface. The holding surface includes a holding section that holds a central region of the substrate, a discharge groove that surrounds the holding section, and an outer circumferential groove that surrounds the discharge groove and communicates with a suction source to hold under suction the substrate. The processing apparatus uses the discharge groove to collect processing swarf produced by the processing unit.

A front end conveyor has an upstream end and a downstream end, a lower deck including a plurality of primary sheet supports and an upper deck including a plurality of sheet guides. Upper portions of the primary sheet supports lie in a first plane and the sheet supports and sheet guides define a sheet transport path for moving sheets in a sheet transport direction. A pivotable sheet support extends from an upstream end of the lower deck and has at least one surface lying in a second plane. The pivotable sheet support is pivotable from a first position in which the second plane forms a first angle with the first plane and a second position in which the second plane forms a second angle with the first plane, the second angle being different than the first angle.

A neurostimulation system is shown and described. The neurostimulation system may include a stimulation device implantable into a patient, a lead operatively coupled with the stimulation device, a first power cell providing power to the stimulation device where the first power cell is charged by an externally applied AC (High HF) magnetic field.

The present invention relates to an electrode cutting apparatus including a separated foreign matter removal unit capable of immediately removing separated foreign matter generated at the time of electrode cutting through a blow unit and a suction unit configured to be repeatedly operated and stopped according to an electrode cutting operation in order to remove separated foreign matter generated when the electrode cutting apparatus performs electrode cutting.

The tofu dough cutting device includes a cutting section. The cutting section includes: a first cutting section including a lateral cutting blade configured to cut the sheet-shaped tofu dough in a direction perpendicular to a conveying direction of the sheet-shaped tofu dough; and a second cutting section including a composite cutting blade in which a longitudinal cutting blade and a corner portion cutting blade are integrated. The longitudinal cutting blade is configured to cut the tofu dough in a same direction as the conveying direction. The corner portion cutting blade is provided at least at one end portion of the longitudinal cutting blade and configured to chamfer the corner portion.

A produce cutting apparatus is utilized, among other things, for making single cuts in an elongated produce product to trim ends, segment the product into variable length segments, make fixed length segments, and cutting out undesirable portions of the produce product. Using a combination of a feed belt, sensor, radial cutter apparatus and programmable controller, the apparatus precisely locates each cut. The cutting blade makes a single cut with each rotation of the radial cutter apparatus. The apparatus may further have a piece removal system and a product holding system.

A front end conveyor includes a frame having a first side and a second side, a lower deck and an upper deck. The lower deck includes a plurality of sheet supports, and upper portions of the sheet supports lie in a first plane. The upper deck includes a plurality of sheet guides that define with the sheet supports a sheet transport path through the front end conveyor. A chad wall extends transversely to the sheet transport direction and has a top edge located below the sheet transport path and a front surface facing in the upstream direction and a plurality of fingers projecting from the front surface in the upstream direction. The top edge of the chad wall is positioned relative to the sheet transport path such that hanging chads depending from the sheets will impact the chad wall.

A front end conveyor includes a frame having a first side and a second side, a lower deck and an upper deck. The lower deck includes a plurality of sheet supports, and upper portions of the sheet supports lie in a first plane. The upper deck includes a plurality of sheet guides, and the plurality of sheet supports and the plurality of sheet guides define therebetween a sheet transport path for moving sheets in a sheet transport direction toward the downstream end of the front end conveyor. A transverse scrap conveyor is mounted below the lower deck to carry scrap in a direction perpendicular to the sheet transport direction. The transverse scrap conveyor is secured to and supported by the frame such that the transverse scrap conveyor is movable with the frame as a unit.
