Disclosed herein is a phase change memory semiconductor integrated circuit device using a chalcogenide film that solves a problem that the operation temperature capable of ensuring long time memory retention is low due to low phase change temperature is and, at the same time, a problem that power consumption of the device is high since a large current requires to rewrite memory information due to low resistance. A portion of constituent elements for a chalcogenide comprises nitride, oxide or carbide which are formed to the boundary between the chalcogenide film and a metal plug as an underlying electrode and to the grain boundary of chalcogenide crystals thereby increasing the phase change temperature and high Joule heat can be generated even by a small current by increasing the resistance of the film.

The present system and method provide an automated approach to conditioning of content. The content is scanned for topics for conditioning, then supplemental content is identified and selected using search tools such as general search engines searching the Internet and search tools for private databases. The conditioned content may be customized for a particular user or category of users, including different materials for different users, in different formats including multimedia, based on a profile for the user(s) for which the personalized content is being prepared. The topics for conditioning may be identified using a text analysis engine, either alone or in combination with a rules engine, in the preferred embodiment.

An input position processing program detects a series of pieces of position data based on input positions outputted from a pointing device, and defines a reference position. When the last piece of position data indicates a point within a defined area other than a reference area, an operation is to be performed determined based on a direction that extends from the reference position to the defined area indicated by the last piece of position data. When an intermediate piece of position data indicates a point within a defined area other than the reference area and the last piece of position data indicates a point within the reference area, the operation to be performed is determined based on the combination of directions representing a reciprocal movement between the reference position and the defined area indicated by the intermediate piece of position data.

A method of forming a color filter touch sensing substrate integrates touch-sensing structures/elements of a touch panel into the inner side of the color filter substrate, which faces a thin film transistor substrate, and forms patterned assistant electrodes on the surfaces of the transparent sensing pads for decreasing the equivalent resistance of the touch-sensing structures/elements. Moreover, since an adjacent transparent conductive layer and an assistant electrode layer are patterned to form the transparent sensing pads and the patterned assistant electrodes, a simplified pattern-transferring process can be applied to the transparent sensing pads and the patterned assistant electrodes, or bridge structures can be formed from the assistant electrode layer for electrically connecting between some transparent sensing pads. Therefore, the forming process is simplified.

In the present invention, a communication pad 60 is installed in one of the doors 51 and 53 for opening and closing storage spaces formed in a refrigerator main body 50. The communication pad 60 is detachably installed in a seating; space 58 of the door 53. While an upper end of the communication pad 60 is seated in the seating space 58 by an upper clamp 61, a lower end of the communication pad 60 is seated in the seating space 58 by a lower clamp 61′. The upper clamp 61 and the lower clamp 61′ are installed in the seating space 58 through hinge assemblies 65. Here, the hinge assemblies 65 are configured so that the upper and lower clamps 61 and 61′ rotate only by a force of a predetermined value or higher. According to the present invention constructed as above, it is possible to get advantages in that the communication pad 60 is securely mounted to and easily dismounted from the door 53.

A first, a second, and a third reel units consist of an inner and an outer reels respectively. A symbol “target” disposed in the outer reel forms a composite symbol by overlaying the symbol “target” on the symbol in the inner reel. The symbol “target” is related to win. When a normal game is started, the inner reel rotates in a normal direction, and the outer reel starts to rotate in the normal and a reverse directions in order to fluctuate the symbol “target” between an upper and an lower portions of a display window. Thereafter, the inner reel stops, and then the outer reel stops after a predetermined time. The player wins the game when the same symbols are aligned in a row in winning lines, or when the same composite symbol is displayed in the first, the second, and the third lines respectively.
