In a stacker crane, a cover to cover an elevation area of an elevation portion is integrally attachable to side surface portions of a mast, which includes a reinforcement portion and an adjuster. The reinforcement portion between a pair of the side surface portions in a Y direction extends toward an opposite direction to an elevation surface of an elevation surface defining portion and has a higher stiffness than that of each of the pair of side surface portions. The adjuster is spaced from the elevation surface defining portion in an X direction perpendicular to a Z direction and the Y direction, and both edges thereof extendible in the Y direction are contactable with the reinforcement portion and each of the pair of side surface portions.

A substrate guide of the present invention is provided on a carrier frame of a carrier which holds a substrate substantially vertically so that a surface of the substrate is in a substantially vertical direction and supports the substrate by being in contact with at least a peripheral edge end surface portion of the substrate. The substrate guide includes a base attached to the carrier frame, a substrate support which comes into contact with the peripheral edge end surface portion of the substrate held by the carrier and is attached to the base to be movable in a normal direction of the peripheral edge end surface portion in a direction parallel to the surface of the substrate, and a force-applying member which applies a force to the substrate support toward the substrate with respect to the base.

A carrier transport system for transporting a carrier within a vacuum chamber is described. The carrier transport system includes a track assembly extending in a transport direction, the track assembly comprising: a first passive magnetic unit provided at a first vertical coordinate and extending in the transport direction, a second passive magnetic unit provided at a second vertical coordinate and extending in the transport direction, wherein the first passive magnetic unit and the second passive magnetic unit are configured to counteract the weight of the carrier; and a roller transportation track provided at a third vertical coordinate and comprising a plurality of rollers configured to support partial weight of the carrier, wherein a first vertical distance between the first vertical coordinate and the second vertical coordinate is larger than a second distance between the second vertical coordinate and the third vertical coordinate.

A handling equipment for a placement shelf of display panel is provided. The handling equipment includes a rack, a rotatable driving wheel and a cleansing device. The cleansing device is configured to cleanse the driving wheel. The driving wheel and the cleansing device both are disposed on the rack. The cleansing device contacts with the driving wheel. The driving wheel is configured to contact a bottom frame of the placement shelf of display panel. The driving wheel is disposed with a cleaning layer on the radial periphery of the driving wheel.

An apparatus, system and method for providing a manufacturing gripping nozzle. The apparatus, system and method for gripping an in-process component during processing may include: a chuck; at least two walls extending from the chuck; at least two peripheral guides having a size and shape correspondent to a periphery of the component and placed atop the at least two walls distal from the chuck, wherein the at least two peripheral guides are capable of positionally maintaining the periphery during the processing; and at least one Bernoulli cup within a cavity bounded by the chuck, the at least two walls, and the component, wherein the at least one Bernoulli cup non-contactedly grips the component.

A die ejection apparatus operable to eject a die from a support has at least two ejector components configured to lift a die located on the support. The ejector components are moveable to a position in which a lifting force is exertable by the ejector components on the support, so as to lift a die located on the support. Movement of the die ejector components is initiated towards the support, and a moment when each of the die ejector components reaches the position is determined. A height offset of each die ejector component relative to a height of another die ejector component is determined upon reaching the said position, and relative heights of the die ejector components are adjusted in dependence upon the evaluated height offset.

Embodiments of a curved vehicle display including a display module having a display surface, a curved glass substrate disposed on the display surface having a first major surface, a second major surface having a second surface area, and a thickness in a range from 0.05 mm to 2 mm, wherein the second major surface comprises a first radius of curvature of 200 mm or greater, wherein, when the display module emits a light, the light transmitted through the glass substrate has a substantially uniform color along 75% or more of the second surface area, when viewed at a viewing angle at a distance of 0.5 meters from the second surface. Methods of forming a curved vehicle display are also disclosed.

A glass sheet semiconductor deposition system (20) for coating semiconductor material on glass sheets is performed by conveying the glass sheets vertically suspended at upper extremities thereof by a pair of conveyors (38) through a housing (22) including a vacuum chamber (24). The glass sheets are conveyed on shuttles (42) through an entry load station (26) into the housing vacuum chamber (24), through a heating station (30) and at least one semiconductor deposition station (32, 34) in the housing (22), and to a cooling station (36) prior to exiting of the system through an exit load lock station (28). The semiconductor deposition station construction includes a deposition module (102) and a radiant heater (104) between which the vertical glass sheets are conveyed for the semiconductor deposition.

An insulating glass unit cooling assembly and method of cooling an insulating glass unit is provided. The cooling assembly includes a cooling unit that directs air at insulating glass units and a conveyor that transports insulating glass units along a path of travel defining an axis of travel for the insulating glass units. The conveyor has a conveyor planar surface that supports a corresponding planar glass surface of the insulating glass units as the insulating glass units are conveyed along the axis of travel such that the planar surface of the insulating glass units are substantially horizontal and substantially parallel to the conveyor planar surface. The air from the cooling unit is directed in a path substantially parallel with the conveyor planar surface and the planar glass surface of the insulating glass units as the insulating glass units travel along the conveyor.
