Abstract: Disclosed is an electrode active material comprising: (a) electrode active material particles capable of lithium intercalation/deintercalation; and (b) a multinary oxide coating layer partially or totally formed on the surface of the electrode active material particles, the multinary oxide coating layer comprising Al, P and a halogen element. A method for preparing the electrode active material, an electrode using the electrode active material, and an electrochemical device comprising the electrode, preferably a lithium secondary battery, are also disclosed. The electrode active material comprising a multinary oxide coating layer has improved structural stability and thermal safety, and thus can provide an electrochemical device having high capacity, long service life and excellent safety.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pneumatic servo valve, and more particularly, to a pneumatic servo valve, wherein displacement of a spool due to flow force of a fluid is prevented by firmly holding the spool just after position control for the spool is completed, thereby ensuring the stability of a valve system, and an encoder is employed as a spool position detecting means.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a printer, by which an image is printed in a raster mode by counting the number of functions that affect the printing speed from the image, and a method thereof are provided. In this printer controlling method, a page area to be printed is classified into image data and font data, when a printing command is received from an application. Next, the image data is divided into objects and processed in units of objects. Then, the number of functions for outputting the processed objects is counted. If the counted value is equal to or greater than a limit value, the page area is converted into a bitmap.

Abstract: An flat-panel display (FPD) manufacturing apparatus which has a configuration capable of easily processing large-size substrates while achieving easy manufacturing, transporting, operating, and repair processes.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electrode in which an electrode active material particles as being interconnected are applied on current collector, wherein the interconnected surface of electrode active material particles is coated with a polymer, the polymer being present as an independent phase, while maintaining a pore structure formed among the interconnected electrode active material particles as well as an electrochemical device including the electrode.

Abstract: Disclosed a SQUID (Superconducting QUantum Interference Device) sensor using an auxiliary sensor, including: a SQUID sensing unit having a SQUID and a first feedback coil for creating a magnetic field at a periphery of the SQUID; an auxiliary sensor having a lower magnetic sensitivity and a higher operation range than the SQUID sensing unit; and a sensor reading unit for operating the SQUID sensing unit and the auxiliary sensor to read out a signal of the SQUID and at the same time, supplying the SQUID sensing unit with an offset magnetic field through the first feedback coil.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a VEGF polypeptide that binds to &bgr;-amyloid. The present invention also relates to a compound that sequesters &bgr;-amyloid. And conversely, the invention relates to a compound that sequesters VEGF. Thus, the present invention also relates to a method of screening for a compound that inhibits the binding of VEGF to &bgr;-amyloid, and thus relates to diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's Disease.

Abstract: A method of controlling the management of the activity of facsimile having no backup battery capable of controlling the management of transmitting or receiving activity of facsimile with a nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) without using a static RAM or a backup battery. During the image data of a document is transmitted or received via facsimile, all the activity items of the facsimile are recorded in the nonvolatile RAM. A power failure is recorded in a result item of the activity items and normal contents are recorded in the other activity items. Whenever the facsimile transmission or reception of the image data in each page is completed, the items of a page and a communication time are corrected and then recorded. After that, when the transmission or reception of the image data of the document is completed, the power failure which is recorded in the result item is corrected to a normal end.

Abstract: A method of removing a paper from a laser printer when a jam occurs includes the steps of starting printing after initialization of a laser printer system, and ascertaining if a jam occurs during the printing performance. The method also includes the steps of proceeding with printing in the absence of a jam, and ascertaining if the cover of the system is opened and then closed when the jam occurs. The printing mechanism motor of the laser printer may be driven at its maximum motor speed, to remove the paper, when the cover is opened and then closed. The time required to clear jams is greatly decreased, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the use of the laser printer.

Abstract: A novel band printing method of a page printer for preventing band overrun error during printing.
