An organic layer for subsequent coating with a cover layer which is harder than the organic layer, and a process for surface treatment of the organic layer. In order to improve the quality of a subsequently applied cover layer, growth nuclei for the cover layer, which exhibit sp2 and/or sp3 bonding orbital hybridization, are arranged and/or exposed on the free surface of the organic layer.

A fusing member and a method for preparing such a fusing member are disclosed. The method has the steps of conversion coating a support member; applying a base cushion of thermally insulating silicone elastomer over the conversion coating; vulcanizing the base cushion; and baking the support member and the base cushion for at least 30 minutes at a temperature in excess of the temperature necessary...

A method of and kit for diagnosis of medical conditions by identification of specific DNA characterized in that DNA in a sample is subjected to initial amplification by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method using a first pair of primers specific to the target DNA and the amplified DNA so produced is further amplified by the PCR method using a second primer pair, one or both of which are diffe...

The present invention develops a process for forming hemi-spherical grained silicon storage capacitor plates by the steps of: forming a silicon layer over a pair of neighboring parallel conductive lines, the silicon layer making contact to an underlying conductive region; patterning the silicon layer to form individual silicon capacitor plates; exposing the silicon capacitor plates to a fluorine b...
