Abstract: With conventional simulation devices, the assumption was that only cells would be simulated, and thus the simulation devices had the problem that simulations on the level of tissue, organs, or individual organisms, which are collections of cells, were not possible. The present invention is an organism simulation device that is provided with two or more different simulator parts that calculate the behavior of organism structural elements, a data output part that visually outputs simulation results, and a simulation controller that controls the transfer of data between the two or more different simulator parts and the data output part based on simulation scenario information, which is information on the flow of data and the operation sequence. With this organism simulation device, an environment in which simulation of an organism can be performed more comprehensively and with higher precision can be provided with ease.

Abstract: A variable-shape mirror has a substrate, a lower electrode film formed on the substrate, a piezoelectric film formed on the lower electrode film, an upper electrode film formed on the piezoelectric film, and a mirror film formed directly on the substrate and arranged to be surrounded by a driver portion constituted by the lower electrode film, the piezoelectric film, and the upper electrode film. The mirror film is arranged on a movable portion provided in the substrate, and at least part of the driver portion is arranged on the movable portion.

Abstract: A levitation phenomenon analyzer includes: a data input portion for reading data on fluid and structural components and minute structures of a device; a levitation analysis portion for solving basic simultaneous equations of the fluid and the structural components on the basis of the data; and a result output portion for outputting analytical results of the levitation analysis portion; wherein by regarding a flow path of the fluid for levitation analysis as a mean thickness of a air film or regarding the pressure of the fluid as a mean pressure, shapes of the minute structures which are independent of coordinates of nodal points are handled.

Abstract: In order to take into account the effect of load resistance applied to an electromagnetic field in analyzing an electromagnetic wave oscillator, the present invention arranges a resistance equivalent to the load resistance in the analytical region, and converts a voltage applied to the load and the current flowing therein into an electric field component and a magnetic field component to analyze the electromagnetic field distribution of the entire analytical region. The motion of an electrical charge is thus analyzed taking into account a force applied to the electric charge by the electromagnetic field distribution. This compound analysis of both the electric charge motion and the electromagnetic field is alternately and repeatedly performed.

Abstract: An instrument is disclosed for the analysis of the levitation of a structure such as a video tape rapidly running through fluid such as air, by simultaneously solving an equation on the pressure of fluid and an equation on the displacement of the structure. The instrument may include a data input part for reading data regarding the fluid and structure, a levitation analysis part for forming and solving simultaneous equation on the fluid and structure based on the input data, and a result output part for outputting the analyzed result.
