Abstract: An information acquiring unit for acquiring direction information indicating the direction in which a target is to be searched for and observation accuracy information indicating the observation accuracy in the direction, and a beam arrangement determining unit for determining an arrangement of beams to be emitted by an antenna from the direction information and the observation accuracy information acquired by the information acquiring unit are provided, and a beam controlling unit controls the directions of the beams to be emitted by the antenna in accordance with the arrangement of beams determined by the beam arrangement determining unit.

Abstract: A device includes: a prediction unit (19) for predicting a feature amount that is likely to be extracted in the future by a feature amount extracting unit (12) using a prediction model of a feature amount; and a hypothesis generation unit (15) for generating a hypothesis that assumes a transmission source of a radio wave detected by a reception unit (11) using a plurality of feature amounts extracted by the feature amount extracting unit (12) and the feature amount predicted by the prediction unit (19).

Abstract: A memory system includes a nonvolatile memory including first and second regions for storing firmware and a controller configured to access the nonvolatile memory based on a command from a host device. When the controller receives new firmware along with an update command and old firmware is stored in the first region, the controller stores the new firmware in the second region. When execution of firmware is triggered by an event specified by the update command after the new firmware has been stored, the controller executes the new firmware. When execution of firmware is triggered by an event that is not specified by the update command after the new firmware has been stored, the controller executes the old firmware.

Abstract: Bulk rapidly solidified magnetic materials having a density of greater than 90%, a thickness of at least 250 microns, and preferably a low oxygen content, are produced by a liquid dynamic compaction process which, depending upon the chosen operating conditions, can yield materials ranging from crystalline to partially crystalline to amorphous. The materials so produced are directly useful, i.e. without having to be reduced to a powder and consolidated into a shape, to produce permanent magnets.
