    Abstract: A plurality of buffer plates shaped in a plate project from an inclined surface of a chute of a transfer portion for transferring hydrogenated petroleum resin pellets in a manner that a planar direction of each of the buffer plates intersects with an inclination direction of the inclined surface. Hydrogenated petroleum resin pellets flowing on the inclined surface contact the buffer plates, so that a flow direction of the hydrogenated petroleum resin pellets is changed to reduce a flow speed of the hydrogenated petroleum resin pellets. By the reduction of the flow speed, impact applied on the flowing hydrogenated petroleum resin pellets is weakened, so that breakage due to the impact during transfer of the hydrogenated petroleum resin pellets can be inhibited.

  • Patent number: 9336867
    Abstract: An integrated circuit phase change memory can be pre-coded by inducing a first resistance state in some cells and the memory, and a second resistance state and some other cells in the memory to represent a data set. The integrated circuit phase change memory is mounted on a substrate after coding the data set. After mounting the integrated circuit phase change memory, the data set is read by sensing the first and second resistance states, and changing cells in the first resistance state to a third resistance state and changing cells in the second resistance state to a fourth resistance state. The first and second resistance states maintain a sensing margin after solder bonding or other thermal cycling process. The third and fourth resistance states are characterized by the ability to cause a transition using higher speed and lower power, suitable for a mission function of a circuit.
