  • Publication number: 20220381924
    Abstract: A first bias conversion unit converts, based on a first frequency and a second frequency, a signal bias related to carrier phase for correcting a carrier phase contained in a first ranging signal having the first frequency, to a signal bias related to carrier phase for correcting a carrier phase contained in a second ranging signal having the second frequency. A first correction unit corrects the carrier phase using the converted signal bias. A second bias conversion unit converts the signal bias related to pseudorange to the signal bias related to pseudorange by making reference to a conversion table indicating values for use in conversion of the signal bias related to pseudorange to the signal bias related to pseudorange. A second correction unit corrects a pseudorange using the converted signal bias.

  • Publication number: 20220380923
    Abstract: Provided is a method for forming a metal film capable of forming a homogeneous metal film having a uniform film thickness by stably ensuring a fluid pressure of an electrolytic solution during film formation. The method places a substrate on a mount base. While sucking a gas between the substrate and a porous film through which the electrolytic solution can pass from a suction port of a suction passage formed on the mount base, the method brings the porous film into contact with the surface of the substrate. The method interrupts the suction passage while the porous film contacts the surface of the substrate. While interrupting the suction passage, the method allows the electrolytic solution to pass through the porous film while pressing the porous film against the surface of the substrate with a fluid pressure of the electrolytic solution and deposits metal from metal ions in the passed electrolytic solution on the surface of the substrate, thereby forming the metal film.

  • Publication number: 20220244638
    Abstract: A permanent resist, such as TMMF, is used when patterning conductive material on a substrate, enabling lines that have a higher line-to-space ratio (L/S) or a higher aspect ratio (T/L) or both. Pattern density can thus be increased, allowing for improved performance (e.g., greater efficiency, in the case of transformer coil patterning) and greater heat dissipation. As examples, the permanent-resist-based patterning fabrication methods can be used to create transformer coils within an integrated circuit (IC) module, or a routable lead frame for one or more IC dies.

  • Patent number: 11384675
    Abstract: The control section of a control apparatus executes a first control for operating a voltage application section such as to cause a current to flow in a first direction through a gas sensor in a first period, and a second control for operating the voltage application section such as to cause a current to flow in a second direction, opposite to the first direction, through the gas sensor in a second period. The control apparatus changes the length of at least one of the first period and the second period based on a comparison between a first measurement value, which is the absolute value of a value measured by a sweep measurement section during execution of the first control, and a second measurement value, which is the absolute value of a value measured by the sweep measurement section during execution of the second control.

  • Patent number: 11378696
    Abstract: A local error estimation unit (515) of a local error generation device (500) estimates and generates local errors (?T, ?I) based on global errors (?o, ?t, ?b) included in positioning augmentation information (81) produced in an electronic reference point network (120) and observed data (61) generated by receivers on electronic reference points (611, 612) not belonging to the electronic reference point network (120). The local errors (?T, ?I) are errors that influence positioning accuracy in a region where the electronic reference points (611, 612) exist and that depend on the region where the electronic reference points (611, 612) exist.
