  • Publication number: 20240067818
    Abstract: A resin composition including a liquid crystalline polymer and a fluororesin, wherein the fluororesin has a peak area percentage of a CF3 groups content relative to a CF2 groups content in the fluororesin of 0.05% or more, as determined by the following [Method for measuring CF3 groups content]: the CF3 groups content relative to the CF2 groups content in the fluororesin is calculated as an area percentage from a peak area ICF3 corresponding to the CF3 groups and a peak area ICF2 corresponding to the CF2 groups measured by 19F solid-state NMR, and is determined by the following formula (f1): CF3 groups content (%)={(ICF3/3)/(ICF2/2)}×100 (f1).

  • Publication number: 20230401485
    Abstract: There is provided a method and apparatus for at least one of optimizing, monitoring and controlling a real physical system. Data representative of the physical system are obtained and used to generate one or more Hamiltonians. These Hamiltonians, in turn, are used in a quantum signal processing circuit of a quantum computer to simulate imaginary time evolution of a thermal pure quantum (TPQ) state of a collection of qubits that represent a Gibbs state of the system. Optionally, a Bayesian machine may be trained based on the evolution of the TPQ state to predict behavior of the physical system over time. Classical shadow tomography is then used to provide a classical representation of a TPQ state to a classical computer, to thereby facilitate classical optimization or control of the real physical system.

  • Publication number: 20190146218
    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a head-up display device having a structure such that the procurement cost of a bezel can be suppressed. A bezel part is integrally formed on a curved wall portion of an upper cover. Since the upper cover is a die-cast product, the curved wall part can be manufactured by one-time casting (die-casting) with a through-hole and the bezel part. Since the bezel part is integral with the upper cover, it is possible to reduce the procurement cost of the bezel part compared to when the bezel part is a separate part. If the bezel is configured as a separate part having a high heatproof temperature, the procurement cost of the bezel increases. However, if the bezel part is formed integrally with the case simply by partially deforming the case, as described in the present invention, it is possible to reduce the procurement cost of the bezel part.
