  • Publication number: 20230311212
    Abstract: There is provided a method for manufacturing a turbine component which enables obtaining a single crystal structure more easily and manufacturing a good turbine component. In the seed crystal placing step, the seed crystal is placed on the surface of the base in a manner that a first direction along <001> of the seed crystal has an angle within 15 degrees in absolute value in relation to a laminating direction. In the shaped layer forming step, scanning is performed in a manner that the scan direction has an angle within 20 degrees in absolute value in relation to a second direction being <001> orthogonal to the first direction of the seed crystal.

  • Publication number: 20230142149
    Abstract: A communication device includes a transmission unit and a notification unit. The transmission unit transmits a second signal (for example, an URLLC signal) that requires low latency severer than a first signal (for example, an eMBB signal). When the transmission unit transmits the second signal (for example, the URLLC signal), the notification unit notifies another communication device (interfering station) that transmits the first signal (for example, the eMBB signal) of a request signal containing information requesting suppression of transmission power of the first signal (for example, the eMBB signal). As a result, it is possible to satisfy a requirement of a communication mode requiring low latency.

  • Patent number: 11405811
    Abstract: Provided are a communication apparatus that is operated under a wireless communication environment to which a full duplex communication scheme is applied and a communication method. The communication apparatus includes a communication section that performs wireless communication and a control section that controls operation of the communication section and processing of a signal transmitted and received by the communication section. Upon receiving, through a downlink control channel from a base station, designation regarding a resource in which interference is to be measured, the control section conducts, in the designated resource, measurement of interference from another terminal. In addition, the control section further controls transmission of interference information obtained by the measurement to the base station.
