Abstract: Provided are a negative electrode binder composition which has excellent slurry stability without using a thickener, such as cellulose, in a negative electrode active material for an LIB secondary battery, and which is suppressed in the resistance to swelling by a solvent, and a negative electrode using the same and a secondary battery. A negative electrode binder composition comprising a copolymer having a hydroxyl group-containing monomer and an acid group-containing monomer as essential components, in which the copolymer has a weight average molecular weight of 700,000 or more, as measured using an aqueous GPC measurement apparatus, and in which a dried polymer film of the negative electrode binder composition has a swelling ratio of 0 to 10% by weight, as measured after immersed in a carbonate mixed solvent at 45° C. for 72 hours.

Abstract: The information providing system includes a mobile terminal and a server device that communicates with the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal includes: a sensor that reads a facility ID used to identify at least one facility; and a communication device that transmits, to the server device, the facility ID read by the sensor and a user ID used to identify a user of the mobile terminal. The server device includes: a memory that stores a plurality of types of facility-related information; a processor that extracts, from the plurality of types of facility-related information stored in the memory, facility-related information corresponding to the facility ID and the user ID transmitted from the mobile terminal; and a communication device that transmits, to the mobile terminal, the facility-related information extracted by the processor. The mobile terminal includes a display on which the facility-related information transmitted from the server device is displayed.

Abstract: A semiconductor manufacturing system includes: a local operation terminal that displays an apparatus screen of a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus; at least one remote operation terminals that are connected to the semiconductor manufacturing apparatus via a network, and display the apparatus screen; and a controller that controls the semiconductor manufacturing apparatus based on an operation received from a user by the local operation terminal and the remote operation terminal that display the apparatus screen. The control device includes: a login state managing unit; an apparatus screen display state managing unit; and a screen data creating unit that creates screen data of the apparatus screen based on the simultaneous login state and the apparatus screen display state.

Abstract: Coordinates of a first region extraction window, a first sample stage coordinate, a second sample stage coordinate, and a second region extraction window, including images of one sample stage and an observation target tissues of a sample when the one sample stage is respectively positioned on two microscopes are respectively obtained. Based on difference between the first sample stage coordinate and the second sample stage coordinate, the second sample stage coordinate is corrected. Based on the obtained corrected second sample stage coordinate, the second positioning unit is moved from the second non-observation position to the second observation position where the second region extraction window is located at a position corresponding to the coordinate position of the first region extraction window.
