• • wherein S is a BET specific surface area (m²/g) of the fine silica particles, in the measurement of small-angle X-ray scattering. When used as a filler for a semiconductor-encapsulation resin or when used as a filler for a polishing agent or for a coating layer for ink jet papers, the fine silica particles are available at high content without substantial enhancement of the viscosity. Besides, when used as a filler for the resin, the fine silica particles improve the strength of the molding compound. Furthermore, when used as a toner additive for electrophotography, the fine silica particles improve the free-flow property of the toner without removal from the toner surfaces.

A lower mold and an upper mold are combined to form an enclosed space containing a production cavity and a sealed room. A base fiber material is placed in the production cavity. The production cavity has a first space and a second space. After a gas in the enclosed space has been discharged, a first predetermined amount of a liquid resin is supplied to the first space. After supply of the liquid resin is stopped (or while the liquid resin is continuously supplied), the upper mold is lowered relatively further toward the lower mold, whereby the volume of the production cavity becomes reduced. Preferably, a second predetermined amount of the liquid resin is supplied to the first space having a large volume, whereupon the supplied liquid resin flows from the first space into the second space having a small volume.

A first sealing member and a second sealing member are disposed respectively on a lower mold and an upper mold. During a process of closing the lower mold and the upper mold, a gap between the molds is sealed by the first sealing member, thereby forming an enclosed space between the molds. Thereafter, a gas in the enclosed space is discharged. As the closing process progresses, the enclosed space is divided by the second sealing member into a sealed room and a production cavity, followed by a liquid resin being supplied to the production cavity.

A method of laser welding a workpiece stack-up (10) that includes at least two overlapping aluminum workpieces (12, 14) comprises advancing a laser beam (24) relative to a plane of a top surface (20) of the workpiece stack-up (10) and along a spot weld travel pattern (74) that includes one or more nonlinear inner weld paths and an outer peripheral weld path that surrounds the one or more nonlinear inner weld paths. Such advancement of the laser beam (24) along the spot weld travel pattern (74) translates a keyhole (78) and a surrounding molten aluminum weld pool (76) along a corresponding route relative to the top surface (20) of the workpiece stack-up (10). Advancing the laser beam (24) along the spot weld travel pattern (74) forms a weld joint (72), which includes resolidified composite aluminum workpiece material derived from each of the aluminum workpieces (12, 14) penetrated by the surrounding molten aluminum weld pool (76), that fusion welds the aluminum workpieces (12, 14) together.

The bracket is releasable from the locked position by a movement of the bracket in the release direction. A simple release of the bracket can be achieved in that the protective cover has means that move the locking projection upon movement of the bracket in the release direction at least partially out of the receptacle.

Systems and methods generate a projected image at an optimal exposure time. Images are captured different exposure times. Pixels that satisfy an intensity threshold percentage for each image are selected. The intensity values of the selected pixels are then evaluated to determine whether the selected pixels are distributed above a lower intensity threshold and below an upper intensity threshold. The linear relationship is projected to determine an optimal exposure time that has an optimal exposure time duration that exceeds each exposure time duration associated with each of the captured images when the linear relationship exists between each of the captured images. A projected image associated with the optimal exposure time is generated from one or more of the captured images.

A main magnetic pole layer is constructed so as to have a stacking structure in which a lower main magnetic pole layer having relative low saturated magnetic flux density and an exposed surface area is positioned on a leading side, and an upper main magnetic pole layer having relative high saturated magnetic flux density and having an exposed surface area is positioned on a trailing side. The exposed surface of a main magnetic pole layer has a planar shape of a bilaterally-symmetrical inverted trapezoidal shape in which a width of an upper edge is larger than a width of a lower edge and is equal to or larger than a width of the exposed surface of the main magnetic pole layer at an arbitrary intermediate position between the lower edge and the upper edge. In particular, a height at a center position in the exposed surface area in the upper main magnetic pole layer is larger than a height in the exposed surface area in an arbitrary peripheral position around the center point.
