  • Publication number: 20230258927
    Abstract: A signal processing apparatus that calculates a phase distribution for reproducing a target light intensity distribution on a projection plane by performing spatial light phase modulation on incident light is provided. The calculation process is performed so as to satisfy “Condition 1.” “Condition 1” specifies that the calculation process include a nonlinear ray-optics model including a nonlinear term, and an inverse calculation model obtained by linearizing the nonlinear ray-optics model, determine an error distribution between the target light intensity distribution and a calculated light intensity distribution, obtain a light intensity correction value by multiplying the error distribution by a feedback gain, input the light intensity correction value to the inverse calculation model to obtain an output, regard the obtained output as a phase correction value, and use a feedback loop of repeatedly updating the phase distribution by adding the phase correction value to the provisional value.

  • Publication number: 20230253942
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a method of manufacturing film bulk acoustic wave resonators. The method comprises forming a sacrificial layer over a surface of a substrate to form a plurality of film bulk acoustic wave resonators on the surface of the substrate, forming a piezoelectric film on the surface of the substrate to cover the sacrificial layer, and removing the sacrificial layer to form an air gap between the surface of the substrate and the piezoelectric film that has covered the sacrificial layer, the air gap corresponding to each of the plurality of film bulk acoustic wave resonators. The step of forming the piezoelectric film includes controlling a concentration distribution of an additive added to the piezoelectric film across the surface of the substrate to suppress a variation of the acoustic velocity of the piezoelectric film depending on a position on the main surface of the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20210090432
    Abstract: A vehicle system includes an information storage, an information acquirer, a vehicle characteristics extractor, and a vehicle characteristics transmitter. The information storage stores vehicle information of sample vehicles in association with the sample vehicles. The vehicle information is obtained by combining a traveling location or a traveling environment, or both, with vehicle characteristics. The information acquirer acquires vehicle information of a target vehicle and either of both of a first traveling location and a first traveling environment for which vehicle characteristics for the target vehicle are lacking. The vehicle characteristics extractor determines a sample vehicle of which vehicle information matches the vehicle information of the target vehicle and extracts vehicle characteristics of the sample vehicle corresponding to either or both of the first traveling location and the first traveling environment.
