Abstract: A method of emulsification of an oil phase in an aqueous continuous phase, by dispersing core-corona microparticles into the aqueous phase, adding the oil phase, and applying shearing force for a time sufficient to emulsify the resulting mixture. The core-corona microparticles are obtained by radical co-polymerization of a polyethylene oxide macromonomer with at least one hydrophobic acrylate monomer and at least one hydrophobic acrylamide monomer.

Abstract: An information processing method performs steps for an information processing apparatus to communicate with an image forming apparatus having first and second sheet output sections. The second sheet output section can be switched between a close position to serve to guide a sheet to the first sheet output section, and an open position not to guide the sheet to the first sheet output section but to stack the sheet. The method inputs a type of sheet, acquires information indicating whether the second sheet output section is in an open or closed state, and transmits image information to the image forming apparatus. When the sheet type recommends the sheet be output to the second sheet output section and the second sheet output section is in the closed state, a message is output to prompt to switch the second sheet output section into the open position before the image information is transmitted.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a peripheral circuit of a first memory executes a read operation to acquire first data programmed to a first memory cell transistor of the first memory on the basis of a comparison between a threshold voltage of the first memory cell transistor and a determination voltage. An error corrector circuit corrects error in second data being the first data acquired by the read operation. When the error corrector circuit fails in the error correction in the second data, a memory controller acquires first history information, changes the determination voltage to a second voltage value in accordance with first history information, and causes the peripheral circuit to re-execute the read operation. The first history information includes second history information on elapsed time since the first data is programmed and third history information on the number of executed program operations on the first memory cell transistor.
