An electronic device includes an upper housing that has a display unit on an upper surface; a lower housing that supports the upper housing so as to enable sliding; a movable plate unit that is disposed on an upper surface of the lower housing to enabling sliding; and a movement mechanism that causes the movable plate unit to slide in a direction opposite to that of the upper housing, coinciding with a sliding of the upper housing with respect to the lower housing. The movement mechanism causes, during transition into a closed state, the movable plate unit to move beneath the upper housing such that an upper surface of the movable plate unit is hidden and causes, during transition into an open state, the movable plate unit to move in the direction opposite to that of the upper housing, exposing the upper surface of the movable plate unit.

Electronic device

A portable device including: a housing including a bottom wall section and a frame-shaped peripheral wall section provided on the bottom wall section; a pressure-sensitive touch panel including a bonding section and a contact section, the bonding section being bonded to the peripheral wall section and the contact section being surrounded by the housing and positioned inside from the bonding section; and a control board that is electrically connected to the touch panel through the contact section.

Portable device

Provided are a positive resist composition and a resist pattern forming method having fewer defects and superior lithographic characteristics. The positive resist composition includes a resin component (A) which has on a main chain a structural unit derived from an (&#x3b1;-lower alkyl)acrylate ester and exhibits increased alkali solubility under the action of an acid, and an acid generating component (B) which generates the acid upon irradiation with radiation, in which the resin component (A) is a copolymer having at least two structural units which is obtained by incorporating an acid when polymerizing at least one monomer for the production thereof.

Positive resist composition and method of forming resist pattern

A method of forming a positive resist composition of the present invention includes a step (I) of passing a positive resist composition, which is obtained by dissolving a resin component (A) that displays increased alkali solubility under the action of acid and an acid generator component (B) that generates acid upon exposure in an organic solvent (S), through a filter (f) equipped with a nylon membrane, wherein the resin component (A) is a copolymer containing at least two structural units obtained by polymerizing at least one monomer in the presence of acid. According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a method of producing a positive resist composition, a positive resist composition, and a method of forming a resist pattern that are capable of forming a resist pattern with reduced levels of both bridge-type defects and reprecipitation-type defects.

A copolymer for semiconductor lithography, comprising at least a recurring unit (A) having a carboxylic acid ester structure whose solubility in alkali increases by the action of an acid and a carboxyl group-containing recurring unit (B), which copolymer is obtained via a step (P) of (co)polymerizing at least a monomer giving a recurring unit (A) and a step (Q) of forming a recurring unit (B) in the co-presence of a recurring unit (A)-containing (co)polymer and/or a monomer giving a recurring unit (A), and an acid. The copolymer is used in production of semiconductor as a resist polymer which is small in roughness, little in development defect and superior in lithography properties such as DOF and the like.

A power generating apparatus includes a proton conductor unit, containing a fullerene derivative, a hydrogen electrode bonded to one surface of the proton conductor unit, an oxygen electrode bonded to the other surface of the proton conductor unit, and a hydrogen gas supplying unit for supplying a hydrogen gas at a pressure of approximately 0.2 to approximately 3.5 atm to the hydrogen electrode. The present power generating apparatus effectively suppresses transmission of hydrogen and oxygen gases so that it is possible to prevent the hydrogen gas from being emitted to atmosphere due to transmission as well as to prevent the oxygen gas from reaching the hydrogen electrode on transmission to prevent the hydrogen gas from being consumed without contributing to power generation.

An image formation control device including an information holding unit, an output control unit, an information change unit, and a change control unit. The information holding unit holds the information of an image forming medium stored in a paper feed tray, while the output control unit controls the output of a printer by referring to the information of the image forming medium. The information change unit changes the information of the image forming medium in accordance with an instruction from an operator. Further, the change control unit, when executing the change of the image forming medium information, judges whether the information of the image forming medium to be changed is detectable or not. If it is found detectable, then the change control unit refuses the present change but, if not detectable, then it allows the present change.
