  • Method of reconstructing aspheric surface equations from measurements
    Patent number: 9223061
    Abstract: Surface measurement data just provides the coordinates of an object surface without giving various parameters like the radius of curvature, conic constant, and deformation coefficients. In this paper, we propose a novel method for extracting the important parameters for the determination of unknown aspheric surface equations from the measurement of aspheric surfaces. The largest error between the original surface and the reconstructed surface in the theoretical case is shown to be about 8.6 nm. This fact implies that the new method is well suited for the reconstruction of unknown surface equations.

  • Solid memory
    Patent number: 9224460
    Abstract: Recording and erasing of data in PRAM have hitherto been performed based on a change in physical characteristics caused by primary phase-transformation of a crystalline state and an amorphous state of a chalcogen compound including Te which serves as a recording material. Since, however, a recording thin film is formed of a polycrystal but not a single crystal, a variation in resistance values occurs and a change in volume caused upon phase-transition has placed a limit on the number of times of readout of the record. In one embodiment, the above problem is solved by preparing a solid memory having a superlattice structure with a thin film containing Sb and a thin film containing Te. The solid memory can realize the number of times of repeated recording and erasing of 1015.
