  • Patent number: 11624955
    Abstract: In a liquid crystal device, an intermediate refractive index film including a silicon nitride film, a silicon oxynitride film, or an aluminum oxide film is provided between an oriented film formed of a diagonally vapor-deposited film of silicon oxide and an electrode containing ITO. Thus, because there are no interfaces having a large refractive index difference between the oriented film and the electrode, reflection between the oriented film and the electrode can be suppressed. A high density silicon oxide film is formed between the intermediate refractive index film and the oriented film. The high density silicon oxide film is formed by an atomic deposition method, thus is appropriately formed inside a contact hole.

  • Patent number: 11615224
    Abstract: A static matrix model in a viscoelastic body is generated for each environmental temperature condition. A generalized Maxwell model is generated for each environmental temperature condition using a matrix of the static matrix model. A spring coefficient and a damper viscosity coefficient of a material test piece is identified as a function of a strain rate norm based on a measurement result of the material test piece using a temperature-time conversion rule. An average strain rate of a part is identified as a function of a displacement rate vector. A dynamic spring coefficient and a damper viscosity coefficient of the part are identified as a function of a component of the displacement rate vector. A generalized Maxwell model for analysis is generated by applying the dynamic spring coefficient and the damper viscosity coefficient identified as the function of the component of the displacement rate vector to the generalized Maxwell model.

  • Publication number: 20220405911
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an anomaly detection device includes a processor that is configured to acquire input data. The processor derives a first anomaly degree corresponding to a difference between first feature data derived from the input data using a trained deep model and second feature data derived from the input data using a trained prediction model. The processor derives a second anomaly degree corresponding to an estimated relative positional relationship between a first and second region in the image data based on the second feature data. A total anomaly degree for the input data is then calculated from the first anomaly degree and the second anomaly degree.

  • Publication number: 20220397311
    Abstract: Provided is a helium recondensation apparatus for a cryostat, which can stably recondense vapor of helium in the cryostat while preventing a pipeline for the recondensation from being clogged. A recondensation apparatus includes a freezer, a first heat exchanger, a first recondensing chamber, and a first connection part. The first heat exchanger stores heat-exchanging helium in a helium tank included in an NMR apparatus, and permits the heat-exchanging helium to evaporate owing to heat of vaporization taken from vapor of coolant helium in the helium tank, thereby permitting the coolant helium to recondense through heat exchange with the heat-exchanging helium. The first connection part is separated from the coolant helium in the helium tank and permits the heat-exchanging helium to flow between the first heat exchanger and the first recondensing chamber therethrough.

    Abstract: A refrigerant cycle device includes a compressor, a radiator, a first expansion valve, a second expansion valve, a first evaporator, a second evaporator, and a controller. The controller is configured to switch between a first evaporator priority control and a second evaporator priority control. During the first evaporator priority control, the controller controls a throttle opening of the second expansion valve based on at least one of a temperature of a first evaporator, a temperature of a refrigerant flowing through the first evaporator, and a temperature of an air having exchanged heat in the first evaporator. During the second evaporator priority mode, the controller controls the throttle opening based on a refrigerant state of the second evaporator. When the at least one of the temperatures is equal to or greater than a switching temperature, the second priority mode is switched to the first priority mode.
