Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of forming a film of nanoparticles interlinked with each other using a polyfunctional linker.

Abstract: An oxide film is formed on a target substrate by CVD, in a process field to be selectively supplied with a first process gas including a silicon source gas and a second process gas including an oxidizing gas. The oxide film is formed by performing cycles each alternately including first and second steps. The first step performs supply of the first process gas, thereby forming an adsorption layer containing silicon on a surface of the target substrate. The second performs supply of the second process gas, thereby oxidizing the adsorption layer on the surface of the target substrate. The silicon source gas is a univalent or bivalent aminosilane gas, and each of the cycles is arranged to use a process temperature lower than that used for a trivalent aminosilane gas.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing sharp spine-shaped projections on ceramic includes forming projections by applying a first soil water on the outside of the half-dried ceramic, forming projection roots; and growing projections by applying a second soil water on a plurality of the projection roots fifty to one hundred times using the brush and letting the projections dry at 15˜20° C., and 60˜70% of relative humidity for 15˜25 minutes in the shade after the application. Bright and mysterious various ceramic patterns are achieved by controlling water content of a first soil water to control projections density, controlling the number of a second soil water applications to control projections' size, selecting the direction of applications to form projections bent toward various directions and mixing pigments with soil water at proper time with proper mixing ratios to form projections with various colors.

Abstract: A method of forming a reinforced slider body for use in a recording head having a transducer that is bi-directionally movable with respect to a surface of a magnetic medium. The method includes the steps of defining in a surface of a wafer a plurality of dice lanes having side walls to delineate a plurality of slider bodies on the wafer where the side walls having an angled configuration with respect to the wafer surface, polishing the dice lanes such that the interface between the wafer surface and the side walls is rounded, implanting a substance into the dice lanes; and applying a diamond-like carbon coating to the bottom surface and side walls of the dice lanes.

Abstract: The invention is a die for dispensing flowable material. The die is comprised of a die block. An external face is disposed on the die block. At least one slot extends perpendicularly into the external face. The slot has a longitudinal dimension, a first longitudinal side and a second longitudinal side. At least one support member extends from the external surface into the slot. The support member extends continuously from the first longitudinal side to the second longitudinal side. At least a portion of the support member is disposed in a direction other than perpendicular to the longitudinal dimension. The support member is disposed to such that at least a portion of any plane extending from the first longitudinal side to the second longitudinal side, in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal dimension of the slot, passes through a void area.

Abstract: A mesostructured material, which has plural tubular pores and is arranged on a polymer surface, characterized in that the pores are uniaxially oriented. The mesostructured material can be developed to functional devices.

Abstract: A filter window manufacturing method includes fabricating a structure of wires on a substrate, depositing a lacquer over the wires and the substrate, depositing a first layer that includes a material selected from the group consisting of AlN, Ru, Ir, Au, SiN, Rh, C and combinations thereof, removing the lacquer, removing the substrate, and baking the first layer.

Abstract: Methods of manufacturing hot mix on site utilizing a composition of discrete substances that are capable of being mixed together to form a composite material are disclosed. The composition includes a plurality of pellets of a tacky, deformable material at an ambient temperature dispersed within a flowable fine material. Stone aggregate is placed in a mixing chamber that has been moved within proximity of the location where the hot mix is to be used. At least a portion of the stone aggregate is heated in the mixing chamber to a temperature sufficient to soften the pellets of the tacky, deformable material. The composition of discrete substances is added into the mixing chamber. The mixture of the composition of discrete substances and the stone aggregate is agitated until the pellets of a tacky, deformable material soften and uniformly coat the stone aggregate.
