  • Patent number: 11426976
    Abstract: To provide a copper-clad laminate which maintains adhesion between a resin film and a conductor layer and which suppresses the occurrence of wrinkles. A copper-clad laminate has a base film containing a thermoplastic resin, an underlying metal layer film-formed on a surface of the base film by a dry plating method, and a copper layer film-formed on a surface of the underlying metal layer. The underlying metal layer has a mean thickness of 0.3 to 1.9 nm. Since the underlying metal layer has a mean thickness of 0.3 nm or more, it is possible to maintain adhesion between the base film and a conductor layer. Since the underlying metal layer has a mean thickness of 1.9 nm or less, it is possible to suppress an increase in the temperature of a film during film-forming of the underlying metal layer, and it is possible to suppress the occurrence of wrinkles.

  • Publication number: 20160132232
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic device detects a first stroke made on a display area of a first document and displays the first stroke on a screen. The electronic device determines at least one handwriting candidate from different handwriting stored in a memory in response to an input of the first stroke, and displays the at least one handwriting candidate on the screen. The electronic device receives a selection of a first handwriting candidate from the at least one handwriting candidate, and determines a first size of the first handwriting candidate according to a size of a second handwritten character string followed by the first stroke. The electronic device inputs the first handwriting candidate in place of the first stroke to the first document according to the first size.

  • Patent number: 8704556
    Abstract: A drive circuit supplies a charging current via a charging path to drive the control terminal of a voltage-controlled switching device, with a resistor and a switching device being connected in series in the charging path. A control circuit in an integrated circuit of the drive circuit operates an internal switching device such as to selectively enable/interrupt the charging current and to regulate the voltage drop across the resistor to a fixed value. The switching device connected in the charging path can be readily changed from the internal switching device to an external switching device, in accordance with the operating requirements of the driven switching device.
