It is an object of the present invention to provide a technique capable of easily extracting a section signal of a specific sub-process. The anomaly detection system includes an extraction unit for extracting a specific subsequence to be an object of anomaly detection from among a plurality of subsequences from a composite sequence included in a monitor signal. The extraction unit determines an optimal warping path from the composite sequence and a reference sequence, which is an example of the composite sequence acquired in advance, by a dynamic time warping method. The extraction unit identifies a start point and an end point of a specific subsequence based on the optimal warping path and the start point and end point of the subsequence of the reference sequence. The extraction unit extracts a specific subsequence based on a start point and an end point of the specific subsequence.

The present invention can give a joining structure using metal nanoparticles to join the same types or different types of metal where when one surface metal is Al based, the parts are joined through a joining layer containing Ni nanoparticles, whereby a good joining strength is obtained. Further, by using two joining layers () including metal nanoparticles to sandwich metal foil () so as to form a joining layer and joining the same type or different types of surface metals (-) through this joining layer, it is possible to ease the thermal stress due to the difference in amounts of thermal expansion of joined members which have two surface metals.

The input apparatus with force feedback includes an operating unit that includes an operating surface, a detecting unit that detects an operation performed on the operating surface, a drive member that drives the operating unit, an elastic member that elastically supports the operating unit, and a base unit that holds the drive member. The drive member includes a solenoid that vertically drives an actuator connected to the operating unit and a casing member that holds the solenoid and the actuator. The actuator vertically penetrates through the casing member. The actuator includes a first damping member able to be brought into contact with a lower surface of the operating unit and a second damping member disposed between a lower surface of the casing member and part of the actuator. The second damping member is brought into contact with the actuator and the casing member as the actuator is driven.

Input apparatus with force feedback

An input device includes: an operation portion allowing an input operation by an operating body contacting with or coming close to an upper surface thereof; an input detection portion detecting an input operation with respect to the operation portion; a driving member provided below the operation portion and driving the operation portion in an up-down direction; an elastic member provided below the operation portion; a case member holding the driving member; an interlocking member provided below the operation portion, connected to the operation portion, and driven with the operation portion; a restricting member provided between the operation portion and the interlocking member and restricting upward movement of the interlocking member; and an elastic first damper member provided below the interlocking member and contactable with the interlocking member. The elastic member elastically urges the interlocking member such that the interlocking member is brought into press contact with the first damper member.

A force-feedback plane slide input device includes: a base body having a housing space formed in a rectangular shape; a slider configured to move within the housing space along a plane including a first direction and a second direction which are orthogonal to each other; an operation member integrally provided with the slider; a first actuating member configured to be actuated by movement of the operation member in the first direction; a second actuating member configured to be actuated by movement of the operation member in the second direction; and a force-feedback unit configured to feed back a sense of force to an operator. The slider includes a first slider member and second slider member. A length of an edge in the first direction of the housing space is substantially the same as a width in the first direction of the second slider member.

According to a lead-free solder bump bonding structure, by causing the interface (IMC interface) of the intermetallic compound layer at a lead-free-solder-bump side to have scallop shapes of equal to or less than 0.02 [portions/&#x3bc;m] without forming in advance an Ni layer as a barrier layer on the surfaces of respective Cu electrodes of first and second electronic components like conventional technologies, a Cu diffusion can be inhibited, thereby inhibiting an occurrence of an electromigration. Hence, the burden at the time of manufacturing can be reduced by what corresponds to an omission of the formation process of the Ni layer as a barrier layer on the Cu electrode surfaces, and thus a lead-free solder bump bonding structure can be provided which reduces a burden at the time of manufacturing in comparison with conventional technologies and which can inhibit an occurrence of an electromigration.

A force-feedback multidirectional input device includes a slider slidably supported by a support base and an operation knob joined to the slider. In a sliding operation, the slider operates in conjunction with actuating members included in a force-feedback unit. Therefore, a sense of force based on the sliding is fed back to the operation knob. Furthermore, the slider is elastically urged by coil springs toward an inner bottom surface of a housing space defined in the support base. In a depressing operation, the operation knob presses the support base downward against the urging force of coil springs. Therefore, a vertically movable member joined to the support base is moved downward along guide portions (convex rails and concave grooves). Thus, a push switch provided on a pedestal (circuit board) is pressed and activated by the vertically movable member.

Force-feedback multidirectional input device

A multi-directional input apparatus includes an operating member including a shaft portion which extends to the outside, a housing having an opening through which the shaft portion extends and configured to support the operating member in a tiltable manner, interlocking members moved by the operating member when the shaft portion is tilted, and detectors which detect changes in the positions of the interlocking members. A sliding member is externally fitted to the shaft portion such that the sliding member is movable in an axial direction, and a coil spring is disposed between a flange provided on the shaft portion and the sliding member. A rubbing surface of the sliding member is in elastic contact with a receiving surface on an inner wall of an annular edge portion surrounding the opening. The rubbing surface and the receiving surface are spherical surfaces centered on a tilting center of the shaft portion.

Multi-directional input apparatus

A multi-directional input apparatus includes a swinging member (first drive lever) having a through hole and an operating lever including a drive shaft which is inserted through the long hole. When the operating lever is tilted in a direction that crosses an axial direction of the swinging member, the swinging member is rotated by the drive shaft. A leaf spring is attached to the swinging member, and the drive shaft of the leaf spring is elastically biased against a side surface of an inner wall of the long hole. The leaf spring includes a bent portion which extends substantially parallel to the axial direction of the swinging member and which is in elastic contact with the drive shaft. A hole at which the long hole is completely exposed is formed in the leaf spring.

A ball (B) is applied on the mask (), and in such state, vibration is applied to the mask () to move the solder ball (B) on the surface of the mask () and drop the solder ball (B) into the ball holding hole (). The periphery of the mask () is permitted to be lower than the ball holding hole (), and an excessive portion of the solder ball (B) is recovered from over the mask ().
