  • Publication number: 20190279867
    Abstract: A substrate manufacturing method capable of easily obtaining a thin magnesium oxide single crystal substrate is provided. A first step is performed which disposes a condenser for condensing a laser beam on an irradiated surface of a magnesium oxide single crystal member in a non-contact manner. A second step is performed which forms processing mark lines in parallel by irradiating the laser beam to the surface of the single crystal substrate under designated irradiation conditions to condense the laser beam into an inner portion of the single crystal substrate while moving the condenser and the single crystal substrate relative to each other in a two-dimensional manner.

  • Publication number: 20190132068
    Abstract: A reception device detects whether or not there has been updating of configuration information including correlation information correlated with audio data provided in a program from reception signals received in a broadcast, selects one of a plurality of audio data in accordance with operating input, and includes a decoding unit that decodes audio data that the selecting unit has selected. When the configuration information is updated, the selecting unit selects, out of correlation information included in the configuration information that has been updated, audio data corresponding to correlation information including a predetermined element that is the same as correlation information corresponding to audio data selected before updating.

  • Publication number: 20190105739
    Abstract: A substrate manufacturing method capable of easily obtaining a thin magnesium oxide single crystal substrate is provided. Performed is a first step of disposing a laser condensing means on a surface of a magnesium oxide single crystal substrate (20) of magnesium oxide to be irradiated in a non-contact manner, the laser condensing means being for condensing a laser beam. Then, a second step of causing planar peeling from a surface side of the magnesium oxide single crystal substrate (20) to be irradiated is performed. In this second step, a laser beam (B) is irradiated to the surface of the single crystal substrate (20) and the laser beam (B) is condensed into an inner portion of the single crystal substrate (20) under designated irradiation conditions. Simultaneously with the irradiation and the condensation, the laser condensing means (14) and the single crystal substrate (20) are two-dimensionally moved relatively to each other.
