Abstract:
A solid acid having a core of calixarene or calix resorcinarene. The solid acid is an ion conducting compound in which at least one of the hydroxyl groups is substituted by an organic group having a cation exchange group at a terminal end, a polymer electrolyte membrane including the same, and a fuel cell using the polymer electrolyte membrane. The polymer electrolyte membrane can provide low methanol crossover and high ionic conductivity. Accordingly, a fuel cell having high efficiency can be obtained by using the polymer electrolyte membrane.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a composition for producing a cathode for an electricity storage device, including carbon nanofibers prepared by electrospinning a spinning solution including a cathode active material, a conductive material and a carbon fiber precursor; and a binder, and to a cathode for an electricity storage device made with the composition and to an electricity storage device including the cathode. The composition for producing a cathode includes carbon nanofibers instead of part or all of a conductive material, a dispersant and/or a binder, so that the cathode has remarkably increased specific surface area and electrical conductivity (decreased resistance), thus maximizing the efficiency of the cathode active material and the capacity.

Abstract:
In a semiconductor device having an enlarged contact area between a contact structure and a substrate, the substrate may include a first region on which a conductive structure is arranged and a second region defining the first region. The first region may include a multi-faced polyhedral recess of which at least one of the sidewalls is slanted with respect to a surface of the substrate. An insulation layer may be formed on the substrate to a thickness that is sufficient to cover the conductive structure. The insulation layer has a contact hole that may be communicated with the recess. The active region of the substrate is exposed through the contact hole. A conductive pattern is positioned in the recess and the contact hole. Accordingly, the contact resistance at the active region of the substrate may be kept to a relatively low value even though the gap distances and line width of pattern lines are reduced.

A portion of the cylinder block is received in the valve plate. The piston units are disposed the cylinder bores. The cam element is fixed to the housing and is in contact with one end of the piston unit. The cam element has an inclined cam surface. One end of the driving shaft is coupled to the cylinder block. The motor is fixed to an opposite end of the housing, while a rotating shaft is coupled to an opposite end of the driving shaft.
Abstract:
Data transmission system and method are provided. The transmission system includes a data converter and data restoring unit. The data converter converts N-bit first data to be transmitted into M-bit second data, where M is greater than N and the second data is arranged in a minimum unit greater than 1, each minimum unit including at least successive data bits having the same phase. The transmitter compresses the second data prior to transmission via a channel having performance characteristics defining a minimum pulse width, and a receiver receives and de-compresses the transmitted second data. The data restoring unit then restores the first data from the second.

Abstract:
An inspection method for a circuit substrate is disclosed, which inspects electrical properties of a circuit substrate having a multilayered structure, by controlling inspection environments so that dew forms on a surface of the circuit substrate and detecting change of states of the dew to thereby determining variation of a thermal capacity of a conductor with respect to defective contacts or vias, micro vias and a circuit pattern of an inner layer. According to this, the inspection can be performed with respect to a wide area simultaneously and therefore the inspection productivity can be improved. In addition, since the temperature of the conductive wire can be measured directly through change of the dew, the cost for the temperature measurement can be saved. Moreover, the cost for an area sensor to sense the temperature of a wide area may be reduced while improving the inspection speed.
Abstract:
Provided are a tilt-type sliding module for a mobile phone and a terminal holder using the tilt-type sliding module, which enable a display unit of the mobile phone to perform a planar sliding motion and at the same time, to perform a tilt motion for inclining upwardly, thereby providing optimal convenience according to a user's purpose. The tilt-type sliding module allows a stable tilt motion of the display unit of the mobile phone by means of: a control bracket for controlling a rotation motion of a tilt rotation portion formed on each of both ends of a frame and a rotation motion and a lock motion of the tilt rotation portion by being fixedly coupled to an intermediate member of the mobile phone; a stopper shaft; and a spring ball.
