Abstract: An SiC wafer is generated from an SiC ingot by a peel-off plane generating step for generating a peel-off plane by forming a separation layer made up of a modified layer, and cracks extending from the modified layer along a c-plane, a plurality of times by indexing-feeding a focused point of a pulsed laser beam and the SiC ingot relative to each other in a direction in which an off-angle is formed, thereby forming a plurality of separation layers to generate the peel-off plane. The peel-off plane generating step includes relatively moving the focused point from an end to an opposite end of the SiC ingot in a forward stroke and relatively moving the focused point from the opposite end to the end of the SiC ingot in a backward stroke to trace back the separation layer that has already been formed in the forward stroke.

Abstract: An exercise support device and an exercise support method are provided by which a judgment regarding the landing of the left and right feet of a user can be accurately made with low power consumption, so that the user can appropriately grasp and judge the balance of the use of the body in an exercise. First, based on changes in acceleration in a vertical direction with respect to the ground which has been acquired by a sensor section worn on the body during a running exercise, landing timing at which one of the left and right feet is landed is detected. Then, based on whether a difference between angular velocities around a traveling direction axis immediately after the latest landing timing and the preceding landing timing has a positive or negative value, whether the landed foot is the left foot or the right foot is judged.
