Abstract: The present invention provides a blocked isocyanate composition comprising a blocked isocyanate compound in which an isocyanate group of an isocyanate compound is blocked with a fluoroalcohol compound, and at least one amidate compound represented by the following Formula (2): wherein B, G, J, R7. and R8 are as defined in the specification.

Abstract: The present invention provides a curing catalyst which promotes a reaction between a hydroxyalkyl amide-based curing agent and a carboxy group-containing resin, especially curing of a carboxy group-containing resin-based powder coating material using a hydroxyalkyl amide-based curing agent, and in particular, curing of a polyester resin-based powder coating material. A curing catalyst which promotes a reaction between a carboxy group-containing resin and a compound that has a ?-hydroxyalkyl amide group, said curing catalyst containing a compound that contains, as a metal atom, at least one element selected from the group consisting of Mo, Cr, V, Fe, Co, Ni, Ga, Zr, In, Ba, Ce and Bi. It is preferable that the metal atom is an Mo atom. An Al atom may be included as the metal atom.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for correcting drift of the beam irradiation position during automated FIB (focused ion beam) processing with a reference image-setting unit, an image read-in unit for reading in images of the reference image region during the FIB processing, an arithmetic-and-control unit for finding the direction and amount of image deviation between the subsequent images, and a beam deflection system-adjusting unit for correcting the beam deflection system by correcting the image deviation based on the deviation in response to the output from the arithmetic-and-control unit. The arithmetic-and-control unit optimizes the brightness or contrast of the reference image.
