Abstract: The purging of photoresist from a supply device of semiconductor coating equipment is automatically executed in a controlled manner. The equipment employs a plurality of photoresist bottles for storing the same kind of photoresist. A plurality of supply pipes are respectively connected to the photoresist bottles, respectively. A valve system selectively opens and closes the supply pipes in response to control signals generated by a main controller. A dispense pump forces the photoresist in the open supply pipe through a nozzle. A purge start button issues a purge start command signal to the controller when the button is pressed. The controller then controls the valve system and the dispense pump so as to automatically purge the photoresist according to a sequence effected using a timer.

Abstract: The present invention provides pro-micelle compositions comprising a pharmaceutically active agent encapsulated with a membrane of esterified C12-C18 fatty acids. In the mammalian intestine, exposure to C12-C18 fatty acids results in conversion of the pro-micelle to a stable micelle that effectively delivers the pharmaceutically active agent to the systemic circulation. The present invention further provides methods of making and using such compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an instant rice nectar which can be preserved for long time. The instant rice nectar of the invention is prepared by the process which comprises the steps of: adding water to malt while stirring, filtrating to obtain malt extract, adding amylase to the malt extract and saccharifying, heating and chilling, filtering, and adding sugar to the filtrate so that the total sugar content reaches a Brix level of 32 to 68; steeping nonglutinous rice in water and boiling to form nectaring rice, adding 1 to 3 times by weight of water and amylase to the nectaring rice, and saccharifying; diluting said malt extract with water and adding the saccharified nectaring rice to the diluted malt extract, and filling up a container with rice nectar thus produced and sealing; and, putting said container filled with the rice nectar in a retort chamber and sterilizing.

Abstract: Provided is a method for forming barrier ribs of a plasma display panel (PDP), in which the rear substrate is protected from camber and damage occurring in the pressing process, and the mold can be separated easily by manufacturing a soft mold using elastic silicon rubber and forming uniform barrier ribs in a press method using the soft mold. In addition, a method for manufacturing a transparent soft mold is suggested, and uniform barrier ribs are formed by pressing a photosensitive barrier rib paste with the transparent soft mold, exposing them to a particular light source to reduce contact surface between the mold and the paste and thus make the mold separated easily.

Abstract: Provided is a plasma display panel (PDP) manufacturing technology, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing an additive soft mold forming barrier ribs of a PDP and a method for forming barrier ribs of a PDP that can prevent camber and damage of a glass substrate, produce barrier ribs with uniform height, and make the soft mold separated easily. In this research, an additive soft mold is manufactured using an elastic rubber material, and barrier ribs of a PDP are formed by using the additive soft mold. In particular, the barrier rib paste can be filled by polishing the rear surface of the soft mold and forming an opening, using a squeezer instead of performing a pressing process. When a photopolymerizing photosensitive paste is used as a paste for forming barrier ribs, and it is exposed to UV light, the soft mold can be separated easily from the paste, because the polymer in the paste shrinks due to the polymerization reaction.

Abstract: A sustained/immediate acting ketoprofen patch. A moisture permeable backing, a moisture non-permeable primer, a moisture high-permeable drug layer containing ketoprofen and a skin adhesion layer controlling release of a drug solution are piled up. An ethyl acetate soluble acrylic/rubber adhesive is coated onto a silicon coated paper, dried and transfer coated onto the backing to form the primer. The drug layer is formed by coating a drug solution onto a silicon coated paper, drying and transfer coating onto the primer. The skin adhesion layer is formed by coating a mixture of a solution prepared by dissolving an emulsifier in ethyl acetate and acrylic adhesive, drying and transfer coating onto the drug layer. The ketoprofen patch has a drug release controlling function and a good adhesion strength. The drug transferring effect through the skin is good.
