Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for separating a semiconductor chip disposed on a base member via an adhesive member from the base member. The method includes: a step of providing a push member on a side of the base member opposite to a side on which the semiconductor chip is disposed and moving the push member in a direction adjacent to the semiconductor chip; and a step of separating the semiconductor chip, moved together with the push member, from the base member through a pick-up unit. The adhesive member and the push member are each magnetized such that repulsive forces act on each other.

A wiring device includes a line input terminal configured to couple to a source of alternating current (AC) power and a charging circuit having an induction coil to propagate a magnetic charging field to emanate from the wiring device. The wiring device can be provided individually or in a kit with a wall plate configured for covering the wiring device. Magnet(s) can be provided proximate a front face of a housing of the wiring device, and/or included in/on a wall plate, to magnetically attract an electronic device when the electronic device is positioned proximate the front face. Such wall plates can be provided individually without a wiring device. Additionally or alternatively, a wall plate with or without magnets can include a shelf protruding from a bottom portion thereof, the shelf configured to support an electronic device in position of a front face of a housing of a wiring device.

There is described an electric power base (100) comprising: a casing (105), a wireless transmitter (110) of electric energy placed in the casing (105), and an interface surface (120) placed external to the casing (105), at said wireless transmitter (110), which is adapted to receive in contact a device (500) to be powered, characterized in that said interface surface (120) is made available by at least one microsuction body (125).

There is provided a power transmission device to switch a coupled state and an uncoupled state between a first member and a second member which are arranged in a transmission path of a driving force to thereby control transmission of the driving force. The device includes a movable body having ferromagnetic property, a first magnetic path and a second magnetic path, and a permanent magnet. The device also includes a driving portion to excite the electromagnet in the forward direction and then increases an attraction force on a side on which a magnetic flux is increased or decreased.

Disclosed herein are a method for analyzing heavy metal removal efficiency using phase difference analysis and an apparatus using the method. The method for analyzing heavy metal removal efficiency using phase difference analysis includes applying a magnetic field to a magnetite onto which a heavy metal is adsorbed, based on a first solenoid coil and a second solenoid coil that have an identical winding direction, applying a high-frequency signal to the magnetite, based on a third solenoid coil having a winding direction that differs from that of the first solenoid coil and the second solenoid coil, detecting a high-frequency signal transformed by the magnetite, and calculating a phase difference between a previously detected default high-frequency signal and the transformed high-frequency signal, and analyzing an efficiency of heavy metal removal by the magnetite by measuring a concentration of the heavy metal based on the phase difference.

A method for manufacturing a shaker device using 3D-printing (i.e., additive manufacturing). An electromagnet is formed by producing a bobbin body and winding an electrical conductor on the bobbin body to form an electromagnet coil. A cylindrical body is 3D-printed and the bobbin body with the electromagnet coil is coupled within an interior of the cylindrical body. A piston assembly is then positioned within the bobbin assembly. The shaker device is operated by controllably applying a magnetic field through the electromagnet coil that impinges a permanent magnet of the piston assembly to cause movement of the cylindrical body relative to the piston. By using these 3D printing techniques, the composition of materials can be varied within a single component part, fine structural details can be included in the components, and components can be 3D printed directly on each other to eliminate tolerance issues relating to small variations in component size.
