Abstract: A thin film transistor including at least one elongated source electrode and one elongated drain electrode disposed parallel to each other with a channel region formed by depositing a semiconductor material substantially perpendicular to and across the parallel electrodes, a gate insulating film formed on the channel region and a gate electrode formed on the gate insulating film. In a preferred embodiment, there is a plurality of source electrodes and one fewer drain electrodes with each drain electrode disposed between two source electrodes. Displacement or misalignment of masks during formation do not result in a change in parasitic capacitance.

Abstract: An imprinting apparatus having application means for applying thermal energy to a recording portion of thermoplastic magnetic ink and generation means for simultaneously generating magnetic attraction force in the ink is provided. The recording portion of the ink is transferred to a transfer medium by the magnetic attraction force while the application of thermal energy is controlled. The ink and the transfer medium do not come into contact with each other in a non-recording portion of the ink. An ink medium having a support layer and a thermoplastic magnetic ink layer for use with the imprinting apparatus of the invention is also provided.

Abstract: A holster for an automatic hand weapon and retention system which secures the weapon at the weapon's ejection port and trigger guard against unintentional withdrawal yet is made of lightweight, durable and inexpensive materials is provided. The holster is formed from a piece of fabric of synthetic material which is folded on itself and stitched to form a cavity for receiving the weapon. A first dowel is secured in a first pocket positioned above the muzzle end of the ejection port of the weapon. A second dowel is secured in a second pocket positioned in the trigger guard of the weapon. The first and second dowels engage the ejection port and trigger guard, respectively, of the weapon to prevent the removal of the weapon by an opponent or accidentally during strenuous activity by the user. Also provided is a holster suitable for wearing against a leg which has at least one dowel secured in a pocket positioned above the muzzle end of the ejection port of a weapon.

Abstract: A hanger is comprised of an integral body or snythetic material having a central portion, a hook portion extending outwardly of the central portion and first and second wing portions at respective opposed side margins of the central portion. The central portion defines, at each side margin thereof, a succession of diversely-sized projections extending outwardly of the side margins, the projections being of generally arcuate configuration and each of successively lesser size progressively distal of the hook portion. Each wing portion comprises a member cantilever-supported by the central portion, each such cantilever-supported member defining mutually with the projections, spacings of successively lesser measure progressively distal of the hook portion.

Abstract: To produce organic fertilizer which is effective for sterile agricultural land, a mixture comprising coral reef powder, domestic animal excreta, sewage disposal waste and ground cellulose derived from plant fiber is prepared and it is well mixed in the presence of organic compounds and inorganic salts. Thereafter, it is subjected to cultivating in a multi-bath type cultivating bath for a predetermined period of time while temperature and pH are adjusted properly. Cultivation is achieved with the addition of bacilli including nitrogen fixing bacillus such as Azotobactor vinelandii, Bacillus megaterum, Rhizobium leguminosarm or the like, Trichoderma virde acting as raw fiber decomposing bacillus, candida utilus acting as yeast fungus and green algae, each of which is cultivated under the operating condition of symbiosis cultivation. The pH in the cultivating bath is maintained in the range of 5.5 to 7.5, preferably in the range of 6 to 7.

Abstract: An ink-jet printing ink composition which has high printing stability after long periods of time and at high temperatures is provided. The ink-jet printing ink composition is an aqueous ink having a nitrite ion concentration between about 0.2 to 10 parts per million (ppm) in order to lower the concentration of dissolved gas in the ink.

Abstract: A method of forming a color filter substrate having pixels of at least two different colors by use of a negative photoresist material of the last color deposited. The negative photoresist is coated over the pixels and the exposed surface of the substrate. The back of the substrate is then exposed to a light source at a wavelength blocked by the formed pixels so that any of the negative photoresist material directly on the transparent substrate is activated by the light from the light source and remaining material is removed.

Abstract: A novel semiconductor device and method of production of such a device are provided. Both the N and P channels of the novel semiconductor device are formed by contact self-alignment, thereby permitting high speed operation and high density integration to be realized. The formation of the channels by contact self-alignment is accomplished by depositing a P type polysilicon layer on an N well region and an N type polysilicon layer on a P well region. A silicide layer is formed over both the P and N type polysilicon layers to form a polycide.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device including a nematic liquid crystal material twisted between about 180.degree. to 360.degree. is driven by the time-sharing addressing technique at a driving waveform less than 2.sqroot.N.multidot.V with a bias ratio of between about 1/(.sqroot.N-N/200) and 1/(.sqroot.N-N/50) where N.gtoreq.300 to realize improved contrast and faster response speeds.

Abstract: A thermal print head including a glass layer disposed at the edge of a heat resistant substrate, a heat generating element on the glass layer and an electrode for driving the heat generating element disposed both under the glass layer and on the heat generating element is provided. The glass layer is formed of a lower layer of crystallized glass on the electrode and an upper non-crystallized glass portion under the heat generating element. The electrode under the glass layer is formed by print burning a thick conductive film on the substrate from a metal paste having a higher burning temperature than the burning temperature of the glass layers.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for replenishing depleted portions of an ink sheet including a conductive ink layer on a dielectric layer wherein portions of ink have been transferred to a transfer medium. Conductive replacement ink material is supplied to the ink sheet and an electric charge is induced in the replacement ink and opposite charges are induced at an electrode on the opposite side of the dielectric layer. Replacement ink contacting the dielectric layer at the voids will adhere to the ink sheet, but charges in the replacement ink contacting the non-transcribed ink regions will flow to the conductive ink layer and will not adhere to the ink sheet.

Abstract: A printer including an impact dot print head for driving a plurality of print wires mounted on the cantilevered end of print levers is provided. The print head includes a stopper positioned to be impacted by a print lever returning from a print position to an at rest position before a plunger on the lever impacts the magnetic core. A spring mounted on the lever biases it towards the print position. Magnetic flux of a permanent magnet attracts the plunger to the non-print position. An electromagnetic coil is energized to cancel the magnetic attraction of the plunger to the core to drive the wire towards the print position.
