Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a first active pattern disposed on the substrate, a second active pattern stacked on the first active pattern, a first gate structure extending to intersect the first active pattern and the second active pattern, a second gate structure spaced apart from the first gate structure and extending to intersect the first active pattern and the second active pattern, a first epitaxial pattern interposed between the first gate structure and the second gate structure, and connected to the first active pattern, a second epitaxial pattern interposed between the first gate structure and the second gate structure, and connected to the second active pattern, an insulating pattern interposed between the first epitaxial pattern and the second epitaxial pattern, and a semiconductor film interposed between the insulating pattern and the second epitaxial pattern, the semiconductor film extending along a top surface of the insulating pattern.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a body a printing engine to perform an image forming operation, a waste toner withdrawal device to obtain waste toners generated during the image forming operation, and a waste toner treatment device to treat the waste toners obtained by the waste toner withdrawal device and introduced to the waste toner treatment device from the waste toner withdrawal device. The waste toner treatment device includes a waste toner discharging member, a heating portion to heat the waste toners within the heating portion, and a driving portion to move the heating portion along a longitudinal direction of the waste toner discharging member so as to form a waste toner solidified within the heating portion from the waste toners heated by the heating portion. The waste toner discharging member discharges the waste toner solidified within the heating portion outside of the heating portion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for screening various signal peptides to select specific ones that allow efficient secretion of a target protein to out of host cells. The present invention also relates to a method for selecting specific signal peptides that express a target protein in host cells and efficiently secrete the target protein to out of the host cells. The use of the composition and/or method according to the present invention enables ultrafast selection of optimal signal peptides for a target protein through barcoding sequences corresponding to the signal peptides, leading to the maximization of the production yield of the recombinant protein.

Abstract: An example image forming apparatus includes a printing unit to print an image on a print medium using toner, a container having a hollow portion to accommodate waste toner discharged from the printing unit, a heater to apply heat to the container such that the waste toner becomes a waste toner viscous body, and a piston inserted in the hollow portion of the container movable between a first position blocking a first end portion of the hollow portion, a second position exposing the waste toner viscous body to a second end portion of the hollow portion to cool the waste toner viscous body to become a waste toner pellet, and a third position beyond the second position to separate the waste toner pellet from the second end portion of the hollow portion.
