Abstract: A decorative molded article transmits a radio wave handled by a radar device as a wireless device and illuminates a specific portion by a light irradiated from a light emitting device. A first reflective layer is formed to have a first opening portion in a back surface of a molded body, reflects light incident from the first opening portion, and transmits the millimeter wave. A first coloring unit transmits the millimeter wave and colors the light incident from the first opening portion to generate a first colored light. A shielding layer of a decorative sheet is fixedly secured to a translucent film, transmits the millimeter wave, and shields the first colored light. The shielding layer has a second opening portion arranged in the specific portion of the translucent film to take out the first colored light from the molded body to a front of a front surface.

Abstract: A display panel is attached to an appliance that includes first and second light sources, in which one of the first and second light sources is capable of being turned off when the other is turned on. The display panel basically includes a molded body, a front-side decorative layer, and a sheet-like member. The display panel is capable of individually illuminating a plurality of graphics, which is simultaneously molded and decorated, with light passing through a molded resin. In particular, a first graphic is illuminated in a first window by turning on the first light source, while a first back-side light-shielding region and a second front-side light-shielding region prevent a second graphic from being illuminated. The second graphic is illuminated in a second window by turning on the second light source, while a second back-side light-shielding region and a first front-side light-shielding region prevent the first graphic from being illuminated.

Abstract: An ion implantation apparatus performs a plurality of ion implantation processes having different implantation conditions to a same wafer successively. The plurality of ion implantation processes are: (a) provided so that twist angles of the wafer differ from each other; (b) configured so that an ion beam is irradiated to a wafer surface to be processed that moves in a reciprocating movement direction; and (c) provided so that a target value of a beam current density distribution of the ion beam is variable in accordance with a position of the wafer in the reciprocating movement direction. Before performing the plurality of ion implantation processes to the same wafer successively, a control device executes a setup process in which a plurality of scanning parameters corresponding to the respective implantation conditions of the plurality of ion implantation processes are determined collectively.

Abstract: An energy analysis slit of an ion implanter is configured to enable switching between a standard slit opening used for implantation processing performed under a predetermined implantation condition and a high-precision slit opening having higher energy precision than the standard slit opening and used to tune an acceleration parameter for a radio frequency linear accelerator. The acceleration parameter is determined for the predetermined implantation condition so that at least a part of ions supplied to the radio frequency linear accelerator is accelerated to have target energy, and so that the beam current amount measured by a beam measurement unit is equivalent to a target beam current amount.

Abstract: A beamline unit of an ion implanter includes a steering electromagnet, a beam scanner, and a beam collimator. The beamline unit contains a reference trajectory of an ion beam. The steering electromagnet deflects the ion beam in an x direction perpendicular to a z direction. The beam scanner deflects the ion beam in the x direction in a reciprocating manner to scan the ion beam. The beam collimator includes a collimating lens that collimates the scanned ion beam in the z direction along the reference trajectory, and the collimating lens has a focus at a scan origin of the beam scanner. A controller corrects a deflection angle in the x direction in the steering electromagnet so that an actual trajectory of the deflected ion beam intersects with the reference trajectory at the scan origin on an xz plane.

Abstract: Vehicle operation diagnostic devices, methods, and programs detect an idling stop of a vehicle. The devices, methods, and programs acquire a fuel consumption required for an engine of the vehicle to start, and acquire, if the idling stop is detected, an amount of fuel consumed if idling were to be continued during a period in which the idling stop is performed. The devices, methods, and programs determine whether a fuel consumption reduction effect is obtained based on the engine-start fuel consumption and the fuel consumption if idling were to be continued, and provide guidance based on the determination of whether the fuel consumption reduction effect is obtained.

Abstract: Provided is a driving support device including an other-vehicle detection unit that detects if an other-vehicle is traveling in the same lane as a host vehicle. The device also includes an overtaking operation detection unit to detect when the host vehicle overtakes the other-vehicle and a determination unit that evaluates an overtaking operation. When is determined that the overtaking operation is not appropriate, the overtaking operation is deemed a dangerous operation. The driving support device may also include continuation prediction unit that determines whether the other-vehicle will continue traveling in the same lane. If it is determined that the other-vehicle will continue traveling in the same lane, the other-vehicle is identified as a target vehicle by a target vehicle identification unit.
