  • Wet particle storage tank
    Patent number: 11952208
    Abstract: A wet particle storage tank includes a tank body capable of storing wet particles containing particles and solvent. The tank body has an upper storage section having a supply port through which the wet particles are supplied, a lower storage section located below the upper storage section and having a discharge port through which the wet particles are discharged, and a bridge forming section provided between the upper storage section and the lower storage section. The bridge forming section facilitates formation of a bridge by the wet particles to block falling of the wet particles from the upper storage section to the lower storage section.

  • Imaging element, imaging device, and imaging method
    Patent number: 11252362
    Abstract: A process of manufacturing an imaging element is simplified. The imaging element includes a polarization pixel and a phase difference pixel. The polarization pixel included in the imaging element includes a polarizer transmitting incident light having a specific polarization direction and generates an image signal based on the incident light being from a subject and being transmitted through the polarizer. The phase difference pixel included in the imaging element includes a light shielding film being formed simultaneously with the polarizer and being disposed to be shifted in a predetermined pupil-division direction for pupil-dividing the incident light from the subject and generates an image signal for detecting a phase difference.
