  • Patent number: 12014017
    Abstract: In the present invention a detection unit of a touch panel has sensor electrodes and a plurality of lead-out wires connected to the sensor electrodes. Each lead-out wire is provided with a wiring main section. The sensor electrodes are provided with a plurality of electrode main sections and a plurality of connection sections. The wiring main sections and electrode main sections are formed by repeatedly arranging side by side, in a first direction, unit patterns having a prescribed shape. In a second direction two adjacent electrode main sections are connected to each other by at least one connection section. Connections sections which are near to each other in the second direction are in different positions in the first direction.

  • Patent number: 11923174
    Abstract: A plasma processing system includes a plasma processing apparatus including a processing container that accommodates a substrate, and configured to perform a plasma processing on the substrate by generating a plasma in the processing container; and a control device configured to control the plasma processing apparatus. The control device collects a measurement value indicating a matching state of impedance between a power supply and the plasma; specifies a point corresponding to a value of the variables that maximizes a gradient of change of the measurement value with respect to a vector; specifies a point farther from the matching point than the passing point on a straight line; and ignites the plasma in the plasma processing apparatus by controlling each variable so that the measurement value changes from the starting point toward the matching point along the straight line.

  • Publication number: 20050258232
    Abstract: A plurality of items is tracked using a distributed network of gates, each having a gate-identification. Each item is provided with an identifier for specifying an item-identification of the item and a tracking-station-identification of a tracking station related to the item. Whenever one of the items approaches one of the gates, the item-identification of that item and the tracking-station-identification of the tracking station related to the item are obtained from the identifier of the item via that gate. The item-identification of the item and the gate-identification of the gate are then communicated to the tracking station identified by the tracking-station-identification obtained from the identifier of the item such that the item can be tracked as it moves amongst the gates.

  • Patent number: 6795382
    Abstract: A continuity maintaining part restarts recording of data onto the optical disk after pause of recording occurring due to buffer under-run, in such a manner that continuity with information recorded immediately before the occurrence of the pause occurred is maintained. A counting part counts the number of times of operation of the continuity maintaining part during the recording of the information onto the optical disk. A display part displays the number of times of operation of the continuity maintaining part counted by the counting part.
