  • Publication number: 20240153765
    Abstract: A method for producing a group III nitride semiconductor includes a loading step (S1), a decompression step (S2), a heating step (S3), an excitation gas supply step (S5), and an organometallic gas supply step (S6). In the loading step (Si), a substrate is loaded into a chamber. In the decompression step (S2), a suction part reduces a pressure inside the chamber. In the heating step (S3), a heater provided inside the chamber heats the substrate. In the excitation gas supply step (S5), a first gas that contains nitrogen without containing hydrogen is supplied to a plasma generator, and an excitation gas obtained by turning the first gas into plasma by the plasma generator is supplied to the substrate inside the chamber. In the organometallic gas supply step (S6), a second gas that is an organometallic gas that contains a group III element is supplied to the substrate inside the chamber.

  • Patent number: 11381754
    Abstract: A camera control section (21) fixes among parameters for photographing which are set in a camera (1), another parameter than exposure time, and causes the camera (1) to photograph a photographing target area while changing the exposure time. An image acquisition section (11) acquires N (N?3) images of the photographing target area acquired by photographing by the camera (1). A model generation section (100) extracts for each pixel position, pixel values of a same pixel position from the N images, and generates a model indicating for each pixel position, a relationship between exposure times and pixel values, based on the extracted pixel values of the same pixel position and an exposure time at a time of photographing of each of the N images. A luminance value calculation section (52) calculates a luminance value for each pixel position, using the generated model and a luminance coefficient.

  • Patent number: 9963024
    Abstract: A deck cover is openably provided at a vehicle-body rear portion positioned in back of a cabin. A top portion of a rear wheelhouse is provided at the vehicle-body rear portion. This top portion is configured to be displaced upward, relative to a vehicle-body rear end portion, such as a rear bumper or a rear end panel, by vehicle-body deformation caused by a vehicle rear collision. The deck cover is supported at a position of the vehicle-body rear portion which is located vertically above or in front of the top portion of the rear wheelhouse such that the deck cover is elevated in accordance with upward displacement of the top portion when the vehicle-body rear portion receives a rear-collision load.

  • Patent number: 7891022
    Abstract: Moisture retentive gloves characterized by using fibers treated with a moisture retentive component as fibers of an internal surface of gloves fabricated of a rubber or a synthetic resin. In particular, moisture retentive gloves wherein the fibers of an internal surface of gloves are staple fibers bonded to the internal surface of glove base material fabricated of a rubber or a synthetic resin, some or all of the staple fibers treated with a moisture retentive component; and moisture retentive gloves wherein the fibers of an internal surface of gloves are fibers of gloves fabricated of a cloth as a raw material of the gloves, some or all of the fibers constituting the cloth gloves treated with a moisture retentive component. These moisture retentive gloves, even if used repeated times and used for a prolonged period of time, do not affect the normal bacteria on the skin by virtue of the action of the moisture retentive component retained on the fibers, so that hand skin chapping or the like can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 4665831
    Abstract: An electric power supplying system for a continuous transit system by magnet (CTM) in which magnets attached to under parts of a certain number of cars comprising the trains and energized regularly are attracted to magnetic belts of a plurality of magnetic belt conveyor units arranged at predetermined intervals along a running track thereby successively drawing and running the trains. There is provided a trolley wire which is divided at least into a certain number of insulated sections at intervals of a predetermined block section length and a predetermined no-load current is supplied to the insulated sections of the trolley wire. When the current flowing to each insulated section of the trolley wire is within a predetermined range, the magnetic belt conveyor unit group corresponding to a block section following the insulated section with respect to the direction of train movement is operated.
