Abstract: A method of reforming a metal pattern for improving the productivity and reliability of a manufacturing process, an array substrate and a method of manufacturing the array substrate are disclosed. In the method, a first wiring pattern is formed on an insulation substrate. The first wiring pattern is removed. A second wiring pattern is formed on an embossed pattern by using the embossed pattern as an alignment mask. The embossed pattern is defined by a recess formed on a surface of the insulation substrate. Accordingly, the insulation substrate having the recess formed thereon may not be discarded, and may be reused in forming the first wiring pattern. In addition, the embossed pattern defined by the recess is used as an alignment mask, so that the alignment reliability of a metal pattern may be improved.

Furthermore, since the acid addition salts have solid forms, they are easy to handle and keep in a manufacturing site.

Abstract: The present invention relates a system and method of managing vehicle and driver information. According to the present invention, internal status information and external environment information of a vehicle, and a driver's behavior information, are gathered to calculate the driver's workload that is required for careful driving and inform the workload to the driver, which leads to careful driving. Further, the information input to the terminal is sent to an observation center without manual control of the driver so that the observation center can collect and store the information in real time. Furthermore, the driving history, driving habits of the driver, and the amount of consumed fuel can be provided through the terminal and the driver access to the server in the observation center, which improves the driving habits of the driver and provides information about economical driving.

Abstract: A non-aqueous electrolyte solution for a lithium ion secondary battery includes a lithium salt and an organic solvent. The organic solvent includes a carbonate compound, a linear ester compound and a linear ester decomposition inhibitor. This non-aqueous electrolyte solution restrains swelling while improving low temperature charging/discharging characteristics of the secondary battery in comparison to a conventional electrolyte since it contains the linear ester compound and the linear ester decomposition inhibitor. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution may be used in making a lithium ion secondary battery.
