Abstract: There are provided a compound preferable as an acid generator for a resist composition, an acid generator including the compound, a resist composition containing the acid generator, and a method of forming a resist pattern using the resist composition, and the compound is represented by general formula (b1-12) shown below: R2—CH2—O—Y1—SO3?A+??(b1-12) wherein R2 represents a monovalent aromatic organic group; Y1 represents an alkylene group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms which may be fluorinated; and A+ represents a cation.

Abstract: A sealing system for sealing high liquid pressure and containing a wiper lip in either of two forms. The light pressure seal includes a seal casing, a seal body including a lip seal, a snap ring and a plastic back-up ring, and the wiper lip seals on either a radial or an axial surface. The casing may have radial and axial flanges or a radial flange only. The space between the two seals may be filled with grease.

Abstract: A resist composition for immersion exposure including: a fluorine-containing polymeric compound (F) containing a structural unit (f1) having a base dissociable group and a structural unit (f2) represented by general formula (f2-1) (wherein R represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group or a halogenated lower alkyl group; and W is a group represented by any one of general formulas (w-1) to (w-4)); a base component (A) that exhibits changed solubility in an alkali developing solution under the action of acid; and an acid generator component (B) that generates acid upon exposure.

Abstract: A resist composition for immersion exposure, including a base component (A) that exhibits changed solubility in an alkali developing solution under action of acid, an acid generator component (B) that generates acid upon exposure, and a fluorine-containing compound (C) represented by general formula (c-1) (in formula (c-1), R1 represents an organic group which may contain a polymerizable group; X represents a divalent organic group having an acid dissociable portion; and R2 represents an organic group having a fluorine atom).

Abstract: A compound represented by formula (I); and a compound represented by formula (b1-1): wherein X represents —O—, —S—, —O—R3— or —S—R4—, wherein each of R3 and R4 independently represents an alkylene group of 1 to 5 carbon atoms; R2 represents an alkyl group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a halogenated alkyl group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a halogen atom, a hydroxyalkyl group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a hydroxyl group or a cyano group; a represents an integer of 0 to 2; Q1 represents an alkylene group of 1 to 12 carbon atoms or a single bond; Y1 represents an alkylene group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a fluorinated alkylene group; M+ represents an alkali metal ion; and A+ represents an organic cation.

Abstract: A sealing system for sealing high liquid pressure and containing a wiper lip in either of two forms. The light pressure seal includes a seal casing, a seal body including a lip seal, a snap ring and a plastic back-up ring, and the wiper lip seals on either a radial or an axial surface. The casing may have radial and axial flanges or a radial flange only. The space between the two seals may be filled with grease.

Abstract: There is provided a liquid containing bag capable of supplying mixture directly to a cooling cylinder from the bag without depending on gravity and without moving the mixture into a hopper. A liquid containing bag 5 comprises a bag main body 21 containing a liquid and having flexibility, and an outer layer member 23 disposed outside the bag main body 21, capable of forming a sealed space between the outer layer member and the bag main body 21, and having flexibility. Therefore, for example, when compressed air is sealed between the outer layer member 23 and the bag main body 21, an volume of the sealed space between them is enlarged, and the liquid cooled in the bag main body 21 can be pushed to the outside.

Abstract: There is provided a soft ice cream in which even materials such as a strawberry easily changed in properties and containing an acid component can be used, and the unique flavor of the material other than a soft ice cream mix, such as strawberry jam and chocolate, can sufficiently be enjoyed. In the soft ice cream obtained by charging the cream flow of a cooled and semi-hardened soft ice cream mix discharged from a discharge nozzle into a cup so that the discharge shape is maintained as much as possible, the part formed of the strawberry jam is continuously disposed in the part formed of the soft ice cream mix along the cream flow charged into the cup.
