  • Patent number: 12002460
    Abstract: A device and a method that determine an utterance type of a user utterance and generate a system response according to a determination result are achieved. A user utterance type determination unit that determines an utterance type of a user utterance, and a system response generation unit that generates a system response according to a type determination result determined by the user utterance type determination unit are included. The user utterance type determination unit determines whether the user utterance is of type A that requests all reutterances of a system utterance immediately before the user utterance, or type B that requests a reutterance of a part of the system utterance immediately before the user utterance.

  • Patent number: 10501865
    Abstract: A first object of the present invention is to provide a method for efficiently growing a nitride single crystal even under low pressure conditions. The present invention relates to a method for producing a nitride single crystal, comprising growing a nitride crystal on the surface of a seed crystal having a hexagonal crystal structure by setting a pressure in a reaction vessel having the seed crystal, a nitrogen-containing solvent, a mineralizer containing a fluorine atom, and a raw material placed therein to 5 to 200 MPa and performing control so that the nitrogen-containing solvent is in at least either a supercritical state or a subcritical state.

  • Patent number: 7732494
    Abstract: A method for concentration of fine particles dispersed in a dispersion into an ionic liquid comprising, adding an ionic liquid, especially an organic ionic liquid at ordinary temperature, e.g., a salt of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium with PF6? to a dilute dispersion of fine particles so as to concentrate the fine particles into the ionic liquid.
