  • Patent number: 11967797
    Abstract: A puncture forming method is a method of forming punctures in a sample by irradiating a surface of the sample with a light beam. The puncture forming method includes: forming a first puncture by irradiating a first position on the surface of the sample with a first pulse of the light beam; and after the forming of the first puncture, forming a second puncture which at least partially overlaps the first puncture by irradiating, with a second pulse of the light beam, a second position on the surface of the sample positioned away from the first position in a first direction. The second puncture has a tip which is positioned inside the sample and which is bent in a direction opposite to the first direction.

  • Patent number: 11928283
    Abstract: A display device includes: a display panel including a sensor unit configured to detect a touch operation; a first control unit configured to supply a first signal to the display panel; and a second control unit configured to calculate touch information related to the touch operation and to supply the touch information to the first control unit. The first control unit includes: a signal generator configured to generate the first signal based on an image signal supplied from an external image signal supply source; and an overdrive circuit configured to perform a process of increasing an amplitude of the first signal generated by the signal generator. The overdrive circuit is actuated based on the touch information from the second control unit. The first control unit, in response to the actuation of the overdrive circuit, supplies the first signal having the amplitude increased by the overdrive circuit to the display panel.

  • Patent number: 9914259
    Abstract: A disclosed method for producing an elongated filler-containing fluororesin sheet includes: a step (I) of forming a strip member from a strip sheet containing a fluororesin, a filler, and a forming aid; and a step (II) of forming an elongated sheet strip by rolling the strip member in a longitudinal direction of the strip member. In the step (I), the strip member is formed by bending the strip sheet in such a manner that quadrilaterals formed on a surface of the strip member, each defined by two strip member side edges extending in the longitudinal direction of the strip member and two strip sheet side edges of the strip sheet that crosses a region between the two strip member side edges are parallelograms each having an acute angle ? as an interior angle and that the parallelograms are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the strip member.
