The wafer test system includes: a prober including a chuck that holds a semiconductor wafer and a probe card having probe needles thereon, and brings the probe needles in contact with semiconductor chips formed on the semiconductor wafer to inspect the semiconductor chips; an overhead hoist transport that delivers the cassette that houses the plurality of semiconductor wafers to be inspected to the prober and withdraws, from the prober, the cassette that houses the semiconductor wafers that have been inspected; a conveying control unit that controls the overhead hoist transport to convey the probe card between a replacement position of the probe card predetermined in the prober and a storage of the probe card located in a place different from the prober; and a card conveying mechanism that conveys the probe card between a holding position in the prober and the replacement position.

Wafer test system, probe card replacing method, and prober

A stent system according to the present invention is for use in retrieving a blood clot from the brain region and includes a wire; a first stent connected to a distal portion of the wire; a first outer sheath that covers and is fixed to a portion of the wire proximal to the first stent; and a second stent disposed on a portion of the wire proximal to the first stent, in which the second stent is configured to be movable toward or away from the first stent.

Stent system

A stent according to the invention includes: a strut extending in a predetermined direction; a first protrusion provided on the strut, the first protrusion being substantially L-shaped and extending in a direction away from the strut and in a direction toward a distal side in the predetermined direction; a second protrusion that is provided on the strut and located distal to the first protrusion, the second protrusion being substantially L-shaped, extending in a direction away from the strut and in a direction toward a proximal side in the predetermined direction, and having a tip spaced apart from a tip of the first protrusion; and an opaque member being substantially tubular and highly opaque to radiation, the opaque member having two end portions in which the first and second protrusions are inserted, respectively.

Stent

A process for printing or coating a substrate with a liquid-crystalline composition and at least one non-liquid-crystalline print or coating as a multilayer and a substrate produced by this process is described. The liquid-crystalline composition contains at least one compound having two polymerizable groups and at least one compound having only one polymerizable group, and optional further additives. The non-liquid-crystalline print or coating contains one or more IR- or UV-absorbent or fluorescent dye or pigment. The process and the printed substrate are useful in producing counterfeiting-proof marking of articles.

Liquid-crystalline composition for printing inks, coatings and counterfeit-proof marking of articles

The invention relates to a heat-insulating coating which comprises one or more cholesteric IR-reflecting layers and to processes for its preparation and to its use.

Thermal insulating coating

A liquid-crystalline composition contains, as components, a liquid-crystalline mixture containing at least one compound having two polymerizable groups and at least one compound having only one polymerizable group, and optional further additives. The liquid crystalline composition can be used for printing or coating substrates, in electro-optical components, for counterfeiting-proof marking of articles and for the production of films or coatings which selectively reflect light in the wavelength range from 250 to 1300 nm.

A magnetic recording apparatus including a magnetic head portion 9, a light emitting portion 10b emitting a light beam, a hologram portion 10a, a light receiving portion 10c, a carriage 12 and a control portion 16 for positioning the magnetic head portion 9 to a predetermined position. The hologram portion 10a is in a plate-like shape and has on one major surface a first gold reflection surface 10a3 formed on a first thing film layer 10a1 and on the other major surface a second gold reflection surface 10a4 formed on a second thin film layer 10a2. The hologram portion 10a also includes a light path 10a5 that guides the light beam in a zig-zag manner between the first and the second reflection surfaces 10a3 and 10a4 and optical components 10a8, 10a9, 10a10 for converting the light emitted from the light emitting portion 10b into a positioning light beam.

High density magnetic recording apparatus including a hologram type

A holographic unit for applying light to a recording medium comprises an optical path, a first optical diffracting member, a second optical diffracting member, an optical condensing member, a first entrance/exit surface disposed at a predetermined first angle to a first reflecting surface, and a second entrance/exit surface disposed at a predetermined second angle to a second reflecting surface to project a plurality of light beams so that the plurality of light beams fall on a position sensing track formed on a recording medium perpendicularly to the surface of the recording medium.
