Abstract: A neuromodulator includes one or more coil sets. Each of the coil sets has three coils aligned to produce magnetic and electric fields in three different directions. A plurality of conductors couple the coils of the one or more coil sets to one or more input signals such that each of the coils is independently activated via an individually selectable current applied through the conductors. The individual activation creates a resultant field that is a combination of the magnetic and electric fields in three different directions for each of the coil sets.

Abstract: A wavelength multiplexing device is disclosed. When light is irradiated on a first longitudinal end region of a metal nano-structure, surface plasmon polaritons are generated in the first longitudinal end region. The surface plasmon polaritons and the light are coupled with each other to form first coupled surface plasmon polaritons, wherein the first coupled surface plasmon polaritons propagate along and on a surface of the metal nano-structure. When the first coupled surface plasmon polaritons reach a two-dimensional material layer, excitons are induced in the two-dimensional material layer, wherein the induced excitons and the first coupled surface plasmon polaritons are coupled with each other to form second coupled surface plasmon polaritons. The second coupled surface plasmon polaritons propagate along and on a surface of the metal nano-structure toward a second longitudinal end thereof.

Abstract: A measurement device is configured to set an observation surface on a surface of a structure as a measurement surface to measure a change of the measurement surface as a measurement surface change vector. An estimator is configured to generate an estimation model based on a shape model obtained by modeling a shape of the structure. The estimator is configured to acquire a coefficient vector by solving a norm minimization problem by setting, as parameters, a measurement surface change vector and a part of the estimation model. The coefficient vector forms a sparse solution. The estimator is configured to estimate a change of a crack occurrence surface by determining a candidate surface, which is inside the structure and assumed to have a crack, as the crack occurrence surface, based on the coefficient vector and another part of the estimation model.
