Abstract: Disclosed is an all-solid-state battery capable of suppressing volume expansion during charging and discharging.

Abstract: In one example, a semiconductor device can comprise a substrate, a device stack, first and second internal interconnects, and an encapsulant. The substrate can comprise a first and second substrate sides opposite each other, a substrate outer sidewall between the first substrate side and the second substrate side, and a substrate inner sidewall defining a cavity between the first substrate side and the second substrate side. The device stack can be in the cavity and can comprise a first electronic device, and a second electronic device stacked on the first electronic device. The first internal interconnect can be coupled to the substrate and the device stack. The encapsulant can cover the substrate inner sidewall and the device stack and can fill the cavity. Other examples and related methods are disclosed herein.

Abstract: Disclosed are a pearlescent pigment and a preparation method therefor, wherein the pigment has a multilayered structure including a low-refractive index material layer between high-refractive index material layers on a glass flake substrate and thus has high color intensity, various colors depending on the viewing angle, and an improved sparkling effect. The pearlescent pigment according to the present invention comprises: a glass flake substrate having a D10 value of 40-80 ?m, a D50 value of 160-250 ?m, and a D90 value of 350-600 ?m and a thickness of 500 nm or more; and a metal oxide layer coated on the substrate, the metal oxide layer having a structure of a first metal oxide layer/an intermediate oxide layer containing MgO·SiO2/a second metal oxide layer.

Abstract: Disclosed is an anodeless all-solid-state battery which may effectively control local volume expansion due to lithium deposited during charging of the battery. The all-solid-state battery includes an anode current collector, an intermediate layer located on the anode current collector, a solid electrolyte layer located on the intermediate layer, a cathode active material layer located on the solid electrolyte layer and including a cathode active material, and a cathode current collector located on the cathode active material layer. The intermediate layer includes carbon particles and metal particles alloyable with lithium, and the carbon particles include a first carbon material, e.g., as a spherical carbon material, and a second carbon material, e.g., a linear carbon material.

Abstract: A multifunction peripheral (MFP) and a method for restricting the use of the same. A user ID and a password are registered according to a user's input, accessible functions are set according to the registered user, and even the authenticated user is restricted to using only the set functions. Therefore, use of the MFP and specific functions of the MFP can be restricted according to the particular registered user.
