Apparatus for peeling a protective film off a thin article such as a silicon wafer is disclosed. The film is peeled by sticking an adhesive tape to the protective film on the article and pulling it away from the article. The protective film is peeled by the apparatus only by the adhesive force of the adhesive tape.
1. An apparatus for peeling and removing a protective adhesive film having an adhesive force stuck to one side of a thin article such as a silicon wafer, comprising:
pressing/feeding means for feeding the thin article having the protective adhesive film adhered to one side thereof while pressing an adhesive tape having an adhesive force against said protective adhesive film on the article to stick it thereon;
holding means for holding in position the article having said protective adhesive film to which said adhesive tape has been adhered; and
peeling means adapted to be movable in a direction substantially parallel to the thin article held in position for peeling said adhesive tape off the article to peel said protective adhesive film off the article by the adhesive force of said adhesive tape acting on said protective adhesive film, the adhesive force of said adhesive tape being larger than the adhesive force of said protective adhesive film.
2. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said holding means comprise a vacuum suction unit.
3. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said peeling means comprise a pair of rollers between and around which said adhesive tape runs, said rollers being adapted to move in a direction substantially parallel to the article which is being held in position.
4. The apparatus as claimed in claim 3, wherein said peeling means further comprise a spindle for taking up said adhesive tape on which said protective adhesive films have been transferred from the article.
This is a division of application Ser. No. 626,083 filed June 29, 1984, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,631,703.
The present invention relates to a process and an apparatus for peeling an adhesive protective film stuck to one side of a thin article such as silicon wafers.
In the production of silicon wafers, a protective film is stuck to one side of the wafer for protection. After the other side of the wafer has been lapped by water flow and processed otherwise, the protective film has to be peeled. This peeling work has so far been done manually. So it was very troublesome and inefficient.
An object of the present invention is to provide a process and an apparatus for efficiently peeling a protective film off a thin article.
The process and the apparatus according to the present invention is characterised in that the protective film is peeled off the article by sticking an adhesive tape to the protective film on the article and removing the adhesive tape away from the article. The protective film is easily peeled off the article only by the adhesive force of the adhesive tape simply by moving the adhesive tape in a direction substantially parallel to the article.
In accordance with the present invention, no mechanical stress is applied to the article when peeling the protective film off the article by providing some time interval between the start of peeling and adhesive tape and the start of winding up the adhesive tape around the spindle.
Other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description taken with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a partially sectional front view of the apparatus for carrying out the process according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the same;
FIGS. 3-5 are enlarged front views showing how the protective film is peeled;
FIG. 6 is an enlarged vertically sectional view of an article with a protective film having an adhesive tape stuck thereto;
FIG. 7 is a plan view of the vacuum suction unit with the article mounted thereon;
FIG. 8 is a sectional front view showing another example of the suction unit and the belt conveyor; and
FIG. 9 is a side view of the same;
Referring to FIG. 1 illustrating one embodiment, a machine body 1 has a magazine 3 in which a lot of thin articles 2 such as silicon wafers are stacked one upon another. A protective adhesive film 4 has been stuck to the upper side of each article 2. Means 5 for taking the articles out of the magazine comprise an endless conveyor belt 6 driven by a motor (not shown) and a driving pulley 7. A magazine support 8 is lowered at a regular pitch by an elevator 9 to put the articles 2 on the endless belt 6 one after another.
On one side of a box 10 provided at the side of the machine body 1, a pair of spindles 11, 12 are mounted. (FIG. 2) A web of adhesive tape 14 is wound on the spindle 11, and the spindle 12 serves to take it up. The spindle 11 is provided with a brake and the spindle 12 is provided with a drive.
When the article 2 with the protective film 4 and the adhesive tape 14 passes between a pair of press rollers 15, the adhesive tape 14 with its adhesive side facing down sticks to the protective film 4 on the article 2. In front of the press rollers 15, there is a vacuum suction unit 16 which is a hollow box having a plurality of suction holes in its upper surface and connected to a vacuum pump (not shown) through a valve. (FIG. 6)
The adhesive tape 14 passes between a pair of peeling rollers 17 up and around the guide roller 18 and is taken up on the spindle 12. The peeling rollers 17 are mounted on the carriage 19 together with a tape guide 23 (FIGS. 3-5). The carriage 19 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 20 and adapted to be driven by an air cylinder or a motor-driven feed screw.
When the article 2 is taken out by the press roller 15 and comes on the suction unit 16, the spindles 11, 12 and the press rollers 5 will stop. Now, the adhesive tape 14 with its adhesive layer 21 facing down has been stuck to the protective film 4 on the article (FIG. 6).
The suction unit 16 starts to apply suction by vacuum to hold the article 2 on to the suction board 16. Then the carriage 19 starts to move in the direction of arrow in FIG. 3. Since thes pindles 11 and 12 are at standstill, the adhesive tape 14 will get loose between the roller 15 and the peeling rollers 17 (FIG. 4).
Some time after the carriage 19 has started to move, the spindle 12 starts to turn in the direction of arrow in FIG. 1 to take up the adhesive tape 14 whereas the spindle 11 is still prevented from turning by its brake. Thus, the adhesive tape 14 peels the protective film 4 off the article 2 only by its adhesive force as shown in FIG. 5 without applying any stress to the article 2. The adhesive force of the adhesive tape 14 should be stronger than that of the protective film 4.
When the protective film 4 has been almost peeled off the article, the spindle 11 is released from braking and the vacuum suction is stopped. The carriage 19 is moved in a reverse direction or forwardly while the adhesive tape 14 is taken up around the spindle 12. The article, too, will be moved in the same direction as the carriage 19 by the protective film 4 which is being peeled off the article. The article is transferred on to the next endless belt 22 whereas the protective film 4 stuck to the adhesive tape 14 is completely peeled off the article and taken up with the tape 14 around the spindle 12.
The suction unit 16 may comprise a plurality of units arranged side by side with the rear portions of the conveyor belts 22 disposed between these suction units (FIGS. 8 and 9) so that the articles 2 with the protective films 4 peeled will be carried away by the conveyor belts 22. In this case, the suction units 16 may be adapted to be lowered when the article 2 has come over the belts 22. This ensures that the article 2 will be transferred on to the belts 22.
The protective film 14 may be narrower than the width of the article 2, as shown in FIG. 7.
The articles 2 with the protective films 4 peeled are fed by the conveyor belt 22 into the next magazine 26, which is of a similar construction to the magazine 3. Each time the article 2 is inserted into the magazine 26, a support 25 driven by an elevator 24 is adapted to be raised by one pitch.
While the carriage 19 having the peeling rollers 17 is moving forwardly, the conveyor belt 6 is driven to feed the next article 2 into between the press rollers 15.
In the preferred embodiment, by repeating the abovesaid steps, the articles 2 are processed one after another to peel the protective film 4. The film-peeled articles 2 are contained in the magazine 26. The films 4 peeled off the articles are taken by the adhesive tape 14 which is taken up by the spindle 12. This makes it possible to peel the protective film efficiently and almost automatically.
Although in the preferred embodiments belt conveyors are used to supply the articles and to deliver the film-peeled articles, suckers or pushers may be used for this purpose.

Hi there, I'm Kristen.
Anime is one of my favorite things. That said, I have trouble staying consistent with it. There are times when I can go through multiple series in less than two days, and then there are others when I can't bring myself to watch anything at all for close to two months. It's a pretty special medium to me, because even though I occasionally lose the drive to watch it, I always manage to find my way back after I've burnt myself out. I can't give any clear guidelines for how I rate a series, but lately I tend to go by how much I enjoyed it. In the past, I probably tried to remain more objective and therefore caused certain shows to seem like a much worse experience for me than they actually were. So don't get too hung up on my ratings.
I can't critique shows like a pro, but I'm always open to talking about an anime in terms of the things I liked about it as well as the things that I didn't. I don't mind unrelated discussion either, so don't feel shy to say hi if you wish.
2,337 total episodes
You are welcome ^_^
I have seen first episode of Nagi no Asukara. I think the first episode was strange :/. Then I stop watch it. but maybe give it a try!
I really recommend Golden time to you. it is the same type as Nagi no Asukara. Golden time is the one of my best anime I've seen, but maybe give it a try some time! ^_^
Nice avatar! ^_^
I'm good too ... or trying to be good at least :D
I have lots of free time but don't do anything except eating and sleeping :p It's really boring though ...
By the way , what are you studying ?
Hi , how are you ?
How do you spend these days ?? You're very busy apparently :p

working Rated 2 out of 5 stars
It basically just adds the search. No highlighting of the tab.
Just figured out that the disappearing app tap is a firefox bug. It deletes the tab when the option "clear recent history" when closing Firefox is on.
If you don't want to switch off that option you can NOT use the add-on "app-tab-initializer", because the app tabs will dublicate at the startup.
I finally had success with this add-on:
and this settings:
(Firefox 9 will solve this hopefully..)

Until recently it was thought the world's poles were frozen wastes where only penguins and polar bears could survive.
However new research techniques have enabled scientists to discover a host of new species, proving the Antarctic alone has more biodiversity than the Galapagos Islands.
Scientists have found 235 species that thrive at both ends of the earth as well as showing animals are migrating to the cooler poles as the climate warms.
Animals found at both poles include marathoners such as grey whales and birds, but also worms and crustaceans, the latter discoveries leading to future research questions about where they originated and how they ended up at both ends of the Earth. DNA analysis is underway to confirm whether the species are indeed identical.
The scientists also found evidence of cold water snails or pteropods of the Antarctic migrating southward as ocean temperatures rise. At least three species in the Arctic were found to be moving north.
The research was carried out by scientists braving 48 foot waves in the Antarctic and polar bear attacks in the Arctic as part of the ongoing international research programme Census of Marine Life.
Scientists from around the world looked at biological data from more than one million locations, including seafloors exposed to light for the first time in 100,000 years after ice shelves melted. They also took advantage of new techniques such as satellite tracking mammals, DNA sequencing and scuba equipment to look at delicate creatures that could not be moved to a laboratory helped to discover more about the oceans.
Dr Ian Poiner, chairman of the Census scientific steering committee, said there is still a huge amount to learn about marine life at the poles.
He said: "The polar seas, far from being biological deserts, teem with an amazing quantity and variety of life. Only through the co-operation of 500 people from more than 25 countries could the daunting environmental challenges be overcome to produce research of such unprecedented scale and importance. And humanity is only starting to understand the nature of these regions."
The Census of Marine Life is an international science research program, supported by private and public agencies, aimed at assessing the biodiversity of marine life - past, present and future - by 2010.
At the moment it is thought there are 230,000 to 250,000 marine species around the world including 7,500 animals in the Antarctic and 5,500 in the Arctic.

March 2009 COPS DOJ DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE CFDA 16.710 PUBLIC SAFETY PARTNERSHIP AND COMMUNITY POLICING GRANTS I. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES The Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Grant Program provides grants to law enforcement agencies to add police officers or sheriff's deputies to America's neighborhood streets and advance community policing nationwide, with emphasis on reducing levels of crime, reducing the fear of crime, and increasing trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve through problem solving tactics and community-policing partnerships. II. PROGRAM PROCEDURES COPS grant programs are awarded to law enforcement agencies, large and small, across the country. The overall intent of the grant programs is to help develop an infrastructure that will sustain community policing. COPS grants may provide personnel, technology, equipment, training and technical assistance, and innovative community policing strategies. The three main categories of grants are Hiring, MORE (Making Officer Redeployment Effective), and Innovative. Hiring Grants Of the COPS hiring grants, there are five types, which provide funds for the hiring of community policing officers and deputies under five grant programs: - Phase I - Accelerated Hiring, Education, and Deployment (AHEAD) - Funding Accelerated for Smaller Towns (FAST) - Universal Hiring Program (UHP) - COPS in Schools (CIS) COPS MORE The COPS MORE program allows law enforcement agencies to purchase technology and equipment or hire civilian support staff, allowing sworn officers to be redeployed back to the streets engaging in community policing initiatives. Equipment such as laptop computers, records management systems, and crime analysis and mapping software support community-based efforts and improve problem solving. A-133 Compliance Supplement 4-16.710-1 March 2009 COPS DOJ Innovative Grants The Innovative grant programs promote innovative approaches to crime prevention and advancing community policing. For example, working with the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Violence Against Women Office, COPS-funded Community Policing to Combat Domestic Violence grants to assist communities to fight domestic violence through community policing. The School-Based Partnership Program assists community and school groups to partner with community police to stop violence. The COPS Methamphetamine Initiative targets prevention and eradication efforts in urban and rural America. The Interoperable Communications Technology Program provides grants to States and localities to improve communications within and among law enforcement agencies. Source of Governing Requirements This program is authorized under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, Pub. L. No. 103-322, Title I, Part Q (42 USC 3796dd - 3796dd-8). Availability of Other Program Information The DOJ-COPS home page (http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/) under the selection titled "Funding" provides information on regulations and other general information about the program. Additional information about this program is found in the Grant Owner's Manuals developed by the COPS Office. Each grant recipient is provided a copy of appropriate manuals. Additional copies can be obtained from the U.S. Department of Justice Response Center at 1-800-421-6770, or on the Internet site referenced above. The Grant Monitoring Standards for Hiring and Redeployment are also available on the COPS home page. III. COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS In developing the audit procedures to test compliance with the requirements for a Federal program, the auditor should first look to Part 2, Matrix of Compliance Requirements, to identify which of the 14 types of compliance requirements described in Part 3 are applicable and then look to Parts 3 and 4 for the details of the requirements. A. Activities Allowed or Unallowed 1. Hiring Grant Projects - Hiring grants may include programs, projects, and other activities to: a.

The Lord Mayor of the City of London, Alderman Alan Yarrow, is to lead a business delegation to Indonesia (19-21 May) helping to make sure London and the UK remain the regional partner of choice when it comes to financial and professional services.

Acting as ambassador for the UK's financial and professional services, the Lord Mayor will be meeting with senior members of the government, investment authorities, regulators and business leaders. Themes for the visit include Islamic Finance, where the Lord Mayor will address a workshop on the topic on the UK's expertise in this area, capital markets and Private Finance Initiatives.

As part of the tour South East Asia nations the Lord Mayor will also be visiting Singapore (21 – 23 May) and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (24 - 26 May), having already visited Sri Lanka (16-18 May).

Speaking ahead of his trip, Lord Mayor Yarrow, said:

With an economy that is a real engine for growth for the entirety of the ASEAN area, Indonesia is an incredibly important market for the UK. With so many exciting infrastructure projects in the pipeline, the City of London's firms stand ready to support Indonesia with innovative financing models, capability studies and delivery of these plans.

Islamic Finance – and the potential partnerships between our two countries – is something I am also keen to talk about. It will be high on my agenda as I want to be able to show how in the Western world we are leaders in this sector in the international finance community.

Notes to editors

About the Lord Mayor of the City of London

The Lord Mayor is head of the Square Mile's City of London authority for one year and the position is unpaid and apolitical. It is an exceptionally demanding role. The Lord Mayor spends some 90 days abroad and addresses some 10,000 people face-to-face each month (making around 800 speeches a year). The Lord Mayor represents City businesses and helps the City Corporation advise the Government of the day on what is needed to help the financial services sector to function well. The Lord Mayor frequently travels to represent the City; and travels overseas with the status of a Cabinet Minister. The Lord Mayor meets several international Heads of Government and Business each month to discuss financial services, often in conjunction with senior City business representatives. The Lord Mayor lives in the Mansion House for the Mayoral year.

On Wednesday 20 May, the Lord Mayor will be hosted by Aberdeen Asset Management for lunch discussion with major local banks and reinsurer, and by HSBC Bank for dinner discussion with the UK business leaders along with Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs. On Thursday 21 May, the Lord Mayor will be hosted by Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales for breakfast discussion with Commission XI (Finance) at House of Representatives. The discussions will look to encourage co-operation between UK and local firms, and promote financial and legal advisors for local firms.

The UK's National Crime Agency (NCA), in conjunction with the British Embassy Jakarta, is launching a new weapon to combat the sexual exploitation and abuse of children in Indonesia by travelling British child sexual offenders.

The International Child Protection Certificate (ICPC) has been developed in the UK to target British nationals and residents who may be seeking to travel and work overseas in order to sexually abuse children.

An ICPC can only be issued following checks made against police information and intelligence databases. Its aim is to provide reassurance that staff employed in schools and voluntary organisations do not have a UK criminal record that makes them unsuitable to work with children.

The certificate is already being used in 73 countries around the world, including Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Cambodia, Ukraine, Spain, Poland and Kenya.

NCA CEOP Command said:

Some sex offenders think they can lurk in the shadows by travelling abroad to carry out their crimes and will go to extraordinary lengths to present an outward appearance of respectability.

The ICPC puts that respectability under the spotlight. It is running successfully in several countries around the world, creating a huge barrier for British sex offenders who think it will be easier to commit their crimes abroad.

Introducing it to Indonesia is an important step forward. I look forward to continuing to work with the British Embassy Jakarta and schools in the area to expand and enhance this vital work, providing a united front against those with a sexual interest in children.

Deputy British Ambassador Juliet Maric said:

Child sexual exploitation is a serious issue for all countries. Protecting children is a vital responsibility. We are very pleased to have the opportunity to work with both our Indonesian and Australian colleagues in promoting the importance of child protection and to share UK expertise in this sector. Through the launch of the International Child Protection Certificate, we hope that awareness of the importance of protecting children will increase and become more effective. We will continue to strengthen our cooperation with Indonesia to prevent the exploitation of children.

Director for General Crime of Indonesian National Police Brig. Gen. Herry Prastowo said:

Violence against children is a serious matter that the handling needs to involve all parties including Police, Ministries, societies, NGOs and other relevant institutions. I am very grateful for this collaboration amongst government institutions and look forward to working together with our international partners in preventing violence against children.

The ICPC was officially launched on Thursday 5th March at British Embassy Jakarta.

NCA Int. Liaison for SEA Stephanie McCourt, Indonesian Police Commissioner Agung Yudha Wibowo Deputy British Ambassador Juliet Maric

Officers from the NCA's Child Exploitation and Online Protection Command (CEOP) will also be leading several days of training in conjunction with the British Embassy Jakarta and the Australian Federal Police (AFP). The training will cover a range of issues and will be focused on best practice for investigating cases of child abuse and providing an introduction to interviewing victims of child abuse.

The ongoing engagement and training builds on partnership work to date in the region and in particular the work of the International Child Protection Network (ICPN). The network, which includes advisory panels of specialists from law enforcement, education, children's charities and NGOs, shares understanding and best practice to help minimise the risks posed to children by adults with a sexual interest in them.

Wilton Park, an international forum for strategic discussion, held their second conference on Conflict Resolution in South East Asia, in Jakarta on 10-12 February 2015. The conference brought together some 60 participants from Burma/Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam and Laos, as well as experts from the region, international organisations, the UK and Australia. Vice President Republic of Indonesia HE Jusuf Kalla also addressed the concluding session of the conference.

Indonesian Vice President Jusuf Kalla addressed the concluding session of the conference

The meeting was organised in association with the ASEAN Institute for Peace and Reconciliation (AIPR), the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and in partnership with the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Australian Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade. It built on discussions from the first Wilton Park Conference, held in the UK in 2013, which brought together peace-process actors from across the region, for the first time, to discuss the role of key stakeholders, and the State, in resolving domestic conflicts. This conference aims to examine and share experience on the second phase of conflict resolution; building sustainable peace. It also aims to strengthen cooperation in the ASEAN region and encourage support for the work of AIPR.

UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office Minister of State Hugo Swire said:

I am delighted that, 15 months after the first Wilton Park Conference was held in the UK, there remains a strong appetite for discussion and the sharing of ideas on conflict resolution in South East Asia. The UK, like the countries of South East Asia, has its own experiences of resolving differences peacefully, and we all stand to benefit from working together, through opportunities like this, to find workable solutions for lasting peace.

Australian Ambassador to ASEAN Simon Merrifield said:

Nothing beats having the right people in the room and a supportive atmosphere for frank discussion, which is how solutions emerge. For Australia, our support for this conference continues the good work of the ASEAN Institute for Peace and Reconciliation (AIPR) in helping people in ASEAN member countries learn from each other and identify new and creative means to promote peace, reconciliation and prevent conflict.

Wilton Park Programme Director Isobelle Jaques said:

Wilton Park is delighted to be back in Jakarta holding this second meeting to examine practical measures for supporting peace processes in the region, as well as the work of ASEAN's Institute for Peace and Reconciliation, and broader cooperation on resolving domestic conflict.

Notes to editors:

The conference is held by Wilton Park under its MoU for cooperation with the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs which was signed in September 2012. (FYI: MoU's purpose is formally described as 'working in partnership to convene significant public diplomacy events to be held periodically in Indonesia to support shared UK and Indonesian foreign policy interests and objectives').

This conference is co-funded by the UK government and the Australian Government.

Wilton Park is an executive agency of the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office providing a global forum for strategic discussion. It organises over 50 events a year in the UK and overseas, bringing together leading representatives from the worlds of politics, business, academia, diplomacy, civil society and media. Events focus on issues of international security, prosperity and justice.

Conference to crawl with parasite experts
Hookworms and tapeworms and leeches - oh my.
Like a bad houseguest, a parasite lives and eats off another organism without giving anything helpful in return. The victim is called, ironically, a "host."
Knoxville is hosting more than 250 parasite experts from the U.S., Canada and Mexico this weekend at the 84th annual meeting of the American Society of Parasitologists at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. It runs through Monday.
The theme of the conference is "Parasites on a shrinking planet," and more than 140 scientific papers will be presented, according to conference organizers. They will range from basic research on parasite genetics and how climate change affects parasites, to issues surrounding perhaps the most commonly known household parasite, heartworm in dogs.
Pets, livestock and soil are the most common areas for parasite invasion in the United States, according to Dr. Sharon Patton, a UT veterinary parasitology professor who is helping organize the event. She is a former president of the society as well.
Not every parasite is bad, she insists.
"Some cause horrible diseases, and some cause very little harm to the host," says Patton. "We think they're wonderful. We don't want them to cause death and destruction, but we do think they're fascinating. To me they're not gross - they're interesting."
Human parasite infestations have enjoyed some gross-out notoriety through television shows like "House," a medical mystery show, and "Monsters Inside Me," which ran for six weeks on Animal Planet.
"I've watched them a few times," says Patton. "Sometimes they're accurate, sometimes they're not."
While the conference this weekend will address a few nasty human parasite infestations, Patton says parasitologists have some simple methods for avoiding them in their own lives.
"We want our meat well done," says Patton. "Some parasitologists eat sushi, but not many. And some will walk barefoot, but I don't so much."

Progressive Media Advocates
Treva Brandon Scharf: Confident people don't bash themselves; they don't let negative thinking and self-loathing screw up a good workout or undermine their progress.
Edward Wasserman: The larger question, to me, was less why she did what she did, but why everybody seemed to care so much, and why her case provoked so much anger.
Joe Mathews: But with immigration flatlining and the climate drying up, it may soon be.

by Epstein D.C., Donald
Publisher:Amber-Allen Publishing
Even as healthcare technology makes great strides, studies show that the attitude of a person suffering from chronic illness may hold the most sway over the healing process. This book shows that the first step in adopting a positive attitude toward health lies in dismissing harmful myths. "I must forgive before I can heal." "I am sick because God is punishing me." "If it doesn't feel good, it must be an effective medicine." These are outdated concepts that can slow healing -- or make an illness worse. Donald Epstein divides these myths into four categories: social, biomedical, religious/spiritual, and New Age. He discusses each myth individually -- from "healing is expensive" to "every condition can be traced to a demonstrable physical cause" -- and offers replacement myths, or "Healing Magic," to be both meditated upon and declared out loud by the reader in order to create an opportunity for healing.
