Abstract:
A method of forming a non-volatile memory device may include forming a fin protruding from a substrate, forming a tunnel insulating layer on portions of the fin, and forming a floating gate on the tunnel insulting layer so that the tunnel insulating layer is between the floating gate and the fin. A dielectric layer may be formed on the floating gate so that the floating gate is between the dielectric layer and the fin, and a control gate electrode may be formed on the dielectric layer so that the dielectric layer is between the control gate and the fin. Related devices are also discussed.
Abstract:
A secondary battery includes an electrode assembly realized by layering and/or winding an anode, a cathode, and a separator; a case having a space into which the electrode assembly is inserted; and a cap assembly including a cap plate connected to the case inside of which the electrode assembly is mounted, a gasket insulating the cap plate from the case, and a safety assembly having a shock absorbing unit extending into the case from the gasket or the cap plate and that has a space for absorbing pressure, and having a vent member supported in a distal end of the shock absorbing unit and that is damaged when an internal pressure of the secondary battery exceeds a predetermined pressure.

Abstract:
A keyboard separable into two parts in which an angle between its two parts can be changed includes: a left keyboard having a first connection ring attached thereto, the left keyboard being separable to the left side from a center position through a rotative motion of the first connection ring; a right keyboard having a second connection ring attached thereto, the right keyboard being separable to the right side from a center position through a rotative motion of the second connection ring; a hinge ring disposed between the first connection ring of the left keyboard and the second connection ring of the right keyboard for causing the right and left keyboards to rotate in constant angular increments; and a main plate having the connection rings of the right and left keyboards attached thereto, the main plate supporting the right and left keyboards. The separation of the right and left keyboards can reduce fatigue of the wrists or shoulders when utilizing the keyboard for long periods and, as a result, work productivity is increased.
Abstract:
There is provided a method of preparing resistant starch with improved processability as one aspect of the present invention, the method comprising: (a) preparing starch modified by a cross-linked bond; and (b) feeding the modified starch to an extruder and then extruding the modified starch to produce an extrudate, in which an extrusion temperature is 50° C. to 200° C. at the time of the extrusion, the ratio of a injection volume of water to a supplying amount of the modified starch, each being supplied into the extruder, is 1.2 ml/g to 2.0 ml/g, and water content in the extrudate is 25 wt % to 50 wt %.
Abstract:
A method of cloth simulation using a constrainable multigrid is provided. The method includes steps of: calculating a change of geometry of the mesh of nodes at a plurality of time steps using a multigrid method by solving a time-varying partial differential equation at multiple resolutions or levels; providing a hierarchical mesh through restriction or coarsening by down-sampling from level m to m−1 or prolongation or interpolation by up-sampling from level m to m+1; transferring soft constraints between different hierarchical levels using a damper-based constraint method; updating the position vector x and the velocity vector v of the mesh nodes; and displaying an updated state of the mesh of nodes using updated position vector x and velocity vector v on a display.
