  • Publication number: 20240316357
    Abstract: An alternating magnetic field having a frequency, at which a sufficient antitumor effect can be obtained, is enabled to be applied to a living body for a previously prescribed period of time while restricting an amount of heat generation from the living body. A cancer treatment apparatus includes a magnetic field generator configured to generate an alternating magnetic field to be applied to a living body, and a magnetic field controller configured to increase an intensity of the alternating magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator stepwise until a first period of time elapses since application of the alternating magnetic field to the living body, and to set the intensity of the alternating magnetic field to a previously set maximum value from elapse of the first period of time until a timing to end the application of the alternating magnetic field.

  • Patent number: 11570387
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a solid-state imaging device, a method for manufacturing the same, and an electronic apparatus capable of improving sensitivity while suppressing degradation of color mixture. The solid-state imaging device includes an anti-reflection portion having a moth-eye structure provided on a boundary surface on a light-receiving surface side of a photoelectric conversion region of each pixel arranged two-dimensionally, and an inter-pixel light-blocking portion provided below the boundary surface of the anti-reflection portion to block incident light. In addition, the photoelectric conversion region is a semiconductor region, and the inter-pixel light-blocking portion has a trench structure obtained by digging the semiconductor region in a depth direction at a pixel boundary. The techniques according to the present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a solid-state imaging device of a rear surface irradiation type.
