Abstract: A method for manufacturing a monolithic sealing member for an image forming apparatus, and an image forming apparatus having the monolithic sealing member are provided. The method includes applying a foamable polyurethane liquid in a portion of a housing in which three or more surfaces meet, molding the foamable polyurethane liquid in a mold and foaming the polyurethane liquid to obtain a polyurethane foam, and hardening the polyurethane foam. The foamable polyurethane liquid may be a one-pack foamable polyurethane liquid or a two-pack foamable polyurethane liquid.

Abstract: An integrated light guide panel for use in a backlight unit for an LCD and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The integrated light guide panel includes a light guide panel for guiding light, to form surface light, a reflective coating layer arranged beneath the light guide panel, to reflect light emerging from a lower surface of the light guide panel such that the light is again incident to the light guide panel, a diffusive coating layer arranged over the light guide panel, to diffuse light emerging from the light guide panel, a prism coating layer arranged over the diffusive coating layer, to concentrate light emerging from the diffusive coating layer, and low refractive coating layers respectively arranged between the light guide panel and the reflective coating layer and between the light guide panel and the diffusive coating layer.

Abstract: A stopping noise reduction circuit for a start motor comprises a battery generating a power supply to drive the start motor, a key switch for controlling an on/off of the power supply, a solenoid having a permanent magnet, P and H coils, and a movement contact to drive the start motor, and further comprises a B1 terminal grounded inside the solenoid, an M1 terminal connected to an M terminal of the start motor, and a resistor coupled with the B1 or M1 terminal. In the stopping noise reduction circuit, upon an off condition of the key switch, the movement contact of the solenoid is connected to the B1 and M1 terminals such that more induced current than an induced current flowing into the P and H coils, in a current induced by a rotator of the start motor, flows to ground via the resistor within a short flow time.
