Abstract:
The present invention provides a toner comprising a binder resin, a colorant, and a releasing agent wherein the releasing agent has an endothermic starting temperature of 40° C. or more and a melting point of 120° C. or less which are measured using a differential scanning calorimeter, the binder resin contains a linear resin and a non-linear resin, the content of the releasing agent existing at the surface of toner particles is 0 to 30% by weight, and the shape factor MLS2 of the toner particles is from 100 to 130. Preferably a mixture of a linear Polyester and a non linear polyester is used as the binder resin. Preferably the weight average molecular weight of the linear polyester is 2.0×103 to 5.0×104. The toner of the present invention has excellent developing characteristics and transfer characteristics, and superior offset resistance even in an oil-less fixing system. When recording a color image using the toner of the present invention, the resulting image has high quality and the OHP transmittancy is improved.

Abstract:
Disclosed is an electromechanical transducer and the method for manufacturing the same, which can detect or control deformation and vibration of a structure and flow of fluids by applying controlling forces. The electromechanical transducer of the present invention comprises a base substrate to which initial stress is applied; an electro-active material layer attached on the base substrate; and electrodes installed on the top and bottom side of the electro-active material layer for actuating the electro-active material layer, the base substrate and the electro-active material layer which is deformed when initial stress is removed from the base substrate so that the base substrate and the electro-active material layer have curvatures.
Abstract:
Memory arrays and methods of forming the same are provided. An example memory array can include at least one plane having a plurality of memory cells arranged in a matrix and a plurality of plane selection devices. Groups of the plurality of memory cells are communicatively coupled to a respective one of a plurality of plane selection devices. A decode logic having elements is formed in a substrate material and communicatively coupled to the plurality of plane selection devices. The plurality of memory cells and the plurality of plane selection devices are not formed in the substrate material.
Abstract:
An initialization circuit comprises a section signal generator generating a section signal, of which a prescribed section is enabled in response to a power-up signal, a first oscillator generating a first period signal in response to the section signal, a first period multiplier generating a first multiplied signal by multiplying a period of the first period signal, and a signal selector transferring the first multiplied signal or a second multiplied signal selectively as a self-refresh enable signal in response to the section signal.
Abstract:
Provided may be a slurry composition for chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) and a CMP method using the same. For example, the slurry composition may include a first polishing inhibitor including at least one of PO43− or HPO42− and a second polishing inhibitor, which may be a C2-C10 hydrocarbon compound having —SO3H or —OSO3H. By using the slurry composition for CMP and a CMP method using the same, increased selectivity to SiN may be obtained.
Abstract:
A method and system for operating an online 8-direction battle game using a personal computer (PC) are provided. The system operates the 8-direction battle game through interfacing with a game providing module to provide the 8-direction battle game in an online mode with a PC. The system includes an auto-targeting unit to automatically target an object to perform a battle against a character designated by a user of the PC in the 8-direction battle game, the object being within a predetermined range from a position of the character, and a game controller to automatically control a direction in which the character faces the object based on a distance between the object and the character.
