Abstract:
A toner is provided which is excellent in low-temperature fixability and offset resistance, has a wide fixing temperature range, provides fixed images with high gloss, and can form toner images having high quality. The toner is composed of toner particles having toner base particles each containing a binder resin and a colorant. When the viscosities of each of the toner particles measured at 100° C. and 110° C. by a flow tester heat-up method are represented by η100 (Pa·s) and η110 (Pa·s), respectively, an average variation in viscosity AηT represented by the following equation (1) satisfies the relationship of 0≧AηT≧−0.064: AηT=(log(η110)−log(η100)/(110−100); and (1) η100 is 15,000 to 40,000 Pa·s.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a lithium secondary battery which is improved in cycle characteristics and storage stability at an elevated temperature as well as protection from overcharge. In the battery, generation of a gas is also inhibited to prevent the battery from expansion. A non-aqueous electrolytic solution for the lithium secondary battery has an electrolyte in a non-aqueous solvent. The non-aqueous solvent is composed of a cyclic carbonate compound, a linear carbonate compound and a cyclohexylbenzene compound having a benzene ring to which one or two halogen atoms are attached. A volume ratio of the cyclic carbonate compound and the linear carbonate compound in the non-aqueous solvent is in the range of 20:80 to 40:60, or the non-aqueous solvent further contains a small amount of a branched alkylbenzene compound.
Abstract:
A sample inspection system having a sample stage holding a sample to be inspected, electron beam optics so as to radiate an electron beam to the sample, a detector unit that detects a secondly generated signal generated in response to radiation of the sample by the electron beam, a storage for storing a plurality of images obtained from the generated signal and information for classifying the plurality of images by a type of defect in the sample, and an image processing unit. The image processing unit retrieves any of the plurality of images and classifies the retrieved image depending on the type of defect including an electrical defect and a defect in the figure.
Abstract:
A layout designing apparatus includes an input unit that receives an input of a frame having a boundary scan register, a placing unit that places an I/O macro to be connected to a signal terminal for propagating other signal than a test signal in an arbitrary I/O macro placement area of the frame input, a determining unit that determines whether a frame terminal at an arbitrary terminal position in the frame matches with at least one of a test terminal for propagating the test signal in the frame input and a signal terminal to be connected to the I/O macro placed, and a replacing unit that replaces, based on a result of determining by the determining unit, the I/O macro placed with either of a shared I/O macro and a test-only I/O macro.
Abstract:
A discharge capacity retention of a non-aqueous secondary battery is enhanced by incorporating into its non-aqueous electrolytic solution a small amount of a substituted diphenyldisulfide derivative in which each of the diphenyl groups has a substituent such as alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkynyloxy, cycloalkyloxy, aryloxy, acyloxy, alkanesulfonyloxy, arylsulfonyloxy, alkoxycarbonyloxy, aryloxycarbonyloxy, halogen, CF3, CCl3, or CBr3.
