摘要:
The invention provides new photoresist compositions that contain a resin binder and a blend of photoacid generators. Photoacid generator blends of the invention produce photoacids that differ in acid strength and/or size. A specific composition comprises a terpolymer having units of hydroxystyrene, styrene and t-butyl acrylate with the photoacid generators di-(4-tbutylphenyl)iodonium camphorsulfonate and di-(4-t-butylphenyl)iodonium o-trifluoromethylbenzene sulfonate.

A recording medium carrier system of an image forming apparatus is constituted by independent units as a paper supply cassette, a paper feed unit, a transfer unit, a fixing unit, and a paper ejecting unit. An intermediate transfer unit in the transfer unit is provided with an intermediate transfer belt to which a toner image formed on a photoconductive drum is primarily transferred at a primary transfer position and which secondarily transfers the toner image on a recording medium at a secondary transfer position, and a driving roller for circulating the intermediate transfer belt. The primary transfer position is arranged close to the driving roller.

There is described a read/write device which enables realization of miniaturization, a reduction in weight, improvement in the accuracy of step feed, and reliability. The read/write device includes heads, a carriage, a stepper motor for moving the carriage stepwise, and a medium drive motor for spinning a recording medium. The stepper motor further includes a rotor, a first stator which is formed from multilayer magnetic material and is fixedly positioned so as to surround the rotor, a second stator formed in substantially the same way as the first stator, and a holder for housing the first and second stators.

An optical branching device includes a main waveguide and a branching waveguide. A portion of the main waveguide is bent and the branching waveguide is placed close to the bent part of the main waveguide. The branching waveguide has a taper structure such that a width of the branching waveguide is gradually decreased in a propagation direction of light. A central axis of the branching waveguide is tilted from a line extended from a straight part of the main waveguide toward the direction X, or the bending direction of the main waveguide. An input end of the branching waveguide has a normal vector tilted from the central axis of the branching waveguide toward the direction Y, an opposite direction of the bending direction of the main waveguide. With above-mentioned structures, light radiated from the bent part of the main waveguide can be launched into the input end of the branching waveguide and transmitted through the branching waveguide efficiently.
摘要:
An information indicating device having an LED and a light transmitting structure is disposed within a line of sight of a vehicle operator so as to transmit light from the LED to the vehicle while the operator is driving the vehicle. A distance sensor measures a distance between a vehicle body and an object near it. An emission control circuit controls the LED based on an output of the distance sensor, thereby indicating predetermined information, such as a distance warning to the operator. An indicating portion is disposed on an end of a corner pole or a fender marker to receive light from the LED and transmit light to the vehicle operator without requiring the vehicle operator to substantially look away from the direction the vehicle is traveling or a mirror showing the driver the vehicle's traveling direction.

An electron emission device exhibits a high electron emission efficiency. The device comprises an electron supply layer of metal or semiconductor, an insulator layer formed on the electron supply layer, and a thin-film metal electrode formed on the insulator layer. The electron emission device emits electrons when an electric field is applied between the electron supply layer and the thin-film metal electrode. The insulator layer is a dielectric layer having a thickness of 50 nanometers or more, and formed by a vacuum evaporation process with a layer forming rate of 0.5 to 100 nanometers/minute.

A method of recovering crystal defects in an impurity doped diffusion silicon layer in contact with a C54 crystal phase titanium silicide layer includes the step of causing a cohesion reaction of the C54 crystal phase titanium silicide layer by heat treating the C54 crystal phase titanium silicide layer so as to cause a vacancy-diffusion of lattice-vacancy of silicon atoms from the C54 crystal phase titanium silicide layer into the impurity doped diffusion silicon layer including the crystal defects while maintaining the continuity of the C54 crystal phase titanium silicide layer.
摘要:
A compact voltage sensor with stable characteristics is provided. A measuring beam that is incident from an optical fiber is branched into first and second modulation-inducing waveguides of a wave branching/combining section within an optical integrated circuit. Phase changes of opposite sign are induced in the measuring beams propagating within the first and second modulation waveguides by applying voltages of mutually opposite sign to modulation-inducing electrodes, to induce a phase difference between the two. By reflecting the measuring beams from a reflective surface, propagating them back in the opposite direction within the first and second modulation waveguides, and passing them through the optical intensity modulation section again, thus applying a further phase modulation thereto, the phase difference between the measuring beams proceeding in the opposite direction within the first and second modulation waveguides can be made to be substantially twice the phase difference of the measuring beams before they are reflected by the reflective surface. The sensor also has a function to protect a sensor section thereof from dielectric breakdown caused by the accidental input of a high voltage.
