Abstract: A particle beam therapy apparatus has a position and posture setter that moves a movable body, that is at least one of the irradiation nozzle and the treatment table. A movement path of the movable body is determined when adapting the positional posture of the movable body from one condition among a plurality of prescribed conditions to another condition. An evaluation value is obtained for adapting the positional posture of the movable body to each of a plurality of prescribed conditions. This evaluation value is for a case of moving the movable body according to the movement path. A setting order is determined for adapting the positional posture of the movable body to each prescribed condition based on the evaluation value; and the positional posture of the movable body is adapted to each of the plurality of prescribed conditions by moving the movable body according to the determined movement path.

Abstract: In a non-reciprocal circuit element, electric power handling capability is improved, and leakage power between adjacent channels is reduced. In addition, balance is taken between reduction of noise between adjacent ports and an increase in insertion loss. A non-reciprocal circuit element includes a YIG ferrite (10) and a plurality of conductors (15) disposed on the YIG ferrite (10) and intersecting each other in an insulated state. A part of Y of the YIG ferrite (10) is substituted with at least any one element of Ho, Dy, and Gd, or a part of Fe of the YIG ferrite (10) is substituted with Co.

Abstract: A laminated coil component includes a magnetic body part made of a Ni—Zn-based ferrite material and a coil conductor containing Cu as a main component, which is wound into a coil shape, and the coil conductor is embedded in the magnetic body part to form a component base. The component base is divided into a first region near the coil conductor and a second region other than the first region. The grain size ratio of the average crystal grain size of the magnetic body part in the first region to the average crystal grain size of the magnetic body part in the second region is 0.85 or less. The molar content of CuO in the ferrite raw material is set to 6 mol % or less, and firing is performed in a reducing atmosphere in which the oxygen partial pressure is an equilibrium oxygen partial pressure of Cu—Cu2O or less.
