Abstract:
The present invention is related to an opening device for a microwave oven door. A hook is moved up and down to open/close the door. A swing lever moves the hook upwardly when swinging around a swing shaft at a predetermined angle. An elastic piece is protrudingly formed from an inside of the microwave oven to the swing lever for supporting the swing lever through one direction. By this construction, the elastic piece is deformed because the swing lever is swung. This bending restoring force restores the push button and swing lever to their initial positions, when the push button is released. As a result, the push button is restored without special spring part. Therefore, the number of parts is decrease, and the production cost is lowered. Also, the assembling work is improved, since the elastic piece is produced with swing lever integrally.
Abstract:
An apparatus for controlling power of a microwave oven is disclosed in which the control thereof is easy and stable, and long-term durability is improved. The apparatus includes a control knob having a knob shaft to be inserted through a hole on a control panel, a coupler fixedly secured to the control knob shaft through the hole to be rotatably installed on the control panel together with the control knob, an annular projection integrally formed on one side of the coupler having several V-grooves formed along the peripheral surface of the annular projection, a resilient member, for instance, a wire or leaf spring, having a protrusion at a mid-position thereof, and a pair of pins for mounting the resilient member on the control panel. While controlling the power of the oven, the protrusion of the wire or leaf spring slides on the peripheral surface of the annular projection with resilient contact thereon, or remains resiliently fitted to any one of the V-grooves of the annular projection.
Abstract:
In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a first etching mask and a second etching mask are formed sequentially on a metal gate structure on a substrate and a first insulating interlayer covering a sidewall of the metal gate structure respectively. An opening is formed to expose a top surface of the substrate by removing a portion of the first insulating interlayer not overlapped with the first etching mask or the second etching mask. A metal silicide pattern is formed on the exposed top surface of the substrate. A plug on the metal silicide pattern is formed to fill a remaining portion of the opening. Further, a planarization layer may be used as the second etching mask.
Abstract:
A negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery of the present invention includes a negative active material including a plate-shaped carbon powder particle agglomerated in a primary structure in which the plate-shaped particle is oriented in a plane direction and laminated. Fine carbon powder particles are then agglomerated to form a secondary structure on the surface of the primary structure such that the resulting particles include fine pores formed on the surface.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a negative active material for a lithium secondary battery which includes a metal oxide-based core material and a carbon material disposed on the surface of the core material, a method of preparing the same, and a lithium secondary battery including the negative active material. According to the present invention, a negative active material for a lithium secondary battery is prepared by coating a core material having good energy density per unit volume with a carbon material, thereby improving the cycle life and charge-discharge characteristics of a lithium secondary battery at a high rate.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a negative active material for a lithium secondary battery. The negative active material includes graphitized coke having a graphitization catalyst element and non-flat artificial graphite. The negative active material for a lithium secondary battery has good electrolyte-immersibility due to the gap between the graphite particles from graphitized coke having a graphitization catalyst element, and non-flat artificial graphite. Therefore, the present invention may provide a lithium secondary battery which has good high-rate capacity and initial efficiency.
