Abstract:
There is provided a soldering flux in which the volatilized amount in reflow is reduced to enable soldering with a smaller environmental load while suppressing the stickiness of the flux residue and ensuring a high reliability. A solder paste composition using the same is also provided. The soldering flux comprises a base resin, an activating agent, and a solvent, wherein the solvent comprises an oil component having an iodine value of 120 to 170. Preferably, the content of the oil component is 22 to 80% by weight relative to the whole flux. Also, the oil component preferably contains at least one of drying oil and semidrying oil, and more preferably contains one or more kinds selected from tung oil, poppy-seed oil, walnut oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, and soy bean oil. The solder paste composition comprises the soldering flux described above and a solder alloy powder.

A method for managing a storage apparatus includes acquiring error information for each of physical addresses assigned to a logical address, and managing the error information for each of the physical addresses.
Abstract:
The storage device of the invention has a ramp mechanism which shakes out the head onto the disk medium, and causes the head to evacuate from the medium to hold it. The command queuing processing unit stores input/output commands into the command queue in the order of issuance by the host, and then, executes the commands in arrangement in the increasing order of the medium access time. Completion of commands is responded to the host in the order of completion of execution. The end of command is responded to the host in the order of end of execution. The emergency evacuation processing unit interrupts, upon receipt of an emergency evacuation command from the host during operation of the command queuing processing unit, operation of the command queuing processing unit and protects the head by causing the head to evacuate from the medium to the ramp mechanism.
Abstract:
A soldering flux contains a base resin and an activating agent. The base resin contains a thermoplastic acrylic resin having a glass transition temperature of below −50° C. This enables to sufficiently suppress the occurrence of cracks in the flux residue after soldering, under the severe environment where the temperature difference is extremely large. The soldering flux has high reliability and excellent solderability, and is conventional with respect to the load against manufacturing cost and environment.
Abstract:
A thin holographic optical switch used in a liquid crystal display device contains opposing transparent substrates transparent electrodes between the substrates and a diffraction grating between the electrodes. The diffraction grating contains regions of transparent polymerized photopolymers and cholesteric liquid crystal micro-droplets. Refractive indexes of the photopolymers and liquid crystal are substantially the same when the electrodes have the same potential. The holographic optical switch transmits broadband LED light when the potential difference between the electrodes is zero and is polarization independent. The holographic optical switch diffracts broadband LED light when the potential difference between the electrodes is non-zero and is polarization independent.
Abstract:
A circuit design support apparatus partially converts a description of a circuit model to simulate the circuit operation. A register signal replacement section replaces a register signal with a variable in a process related with the register signal of the description and inserts a declaration of the variable in the process instead of a declaration of the register signal in the description. A clock signal simplification section replaces a clock signal with a variable in a clock signal reference process of the description and unifies a clock signal update process to the clock signal reference process in the description.

Disclosed is a solder bonding structure which is capable of retaining sufficient solder bonding strength and ensuring high bonding reliability even in severe environments having an extremely large temperature difference. In the solder bonding structure, an electronic component 4 is mounted on a main surface 1a of a substrate having an electrode section 2 and an insulating film 3, and the electrode section 2 and the electronic component 4 are electrically bonded to each other through a solder section 5, and a flux residue 6 exuded from the solder section 5 is present between the electronic component 4 and the insulating film 3. The flux contains an acrylic resin, an activating agent, and a thixotropic agent having a hydroxyl group. The glass transition point of the acrylic resin is not higher than −40° C., or not lower than the softening temperature of the flux residue. The flux residue has a maximum value of 300×10−6/K or less of linear thermal expansion coefficient within a temperature range from −40° C. to the softening temperature of the flux residue.

A flux for a solder paste according to an aspect of the invention includes an acrylic resin obtained by radically copolymerizing a (meth)acrylate having a C6-C15 alkyl group and a (meth)acrylate other than the above-mentioned (meth)acrylate; and rosins. The weight ratio of the acrylic resin is 0.5 or greater and 1.2 or less when the weight of the rosins is taken as 1, and the flux for a solder paste is fluidized by application of a shear force of 10 Pa or greater and 150 Pa or less.
Abstract:
A semiconductor light emitting element which is primarily composed of GaN and which emits blue light is provided with a fluorescent layer, and the fluorescent layer includes fluorescent particles formed of a YAG fluorescent substance. By synthesis between yellow light emitted from the fluorescent particles and the blue light, white light is obtained. Fine particles, such as silica, adhere to the peripheries of the fluorescent particles forming the fluorescent layer, and between the particles, air layers are formed. The air layers each function as a heat insulating layer and can suppress an increase in temperature of the fine particles when an environmental temperature is increased. Hence, luminous efficiency of the fluorescent particles is not likely to vary, and the change in luminescent color can be suppressed.
