Abstract: This invention allows combining broadband GW(10+9 Watt), peak power to achieve MV/m(10+6 Volt/meter), and GV/m(10+9 Volt/meter), radiated E-fields, in the range of air or vacuum breakdown in the entire electromagnetic spectrum, including optical frequencies and beyond. Use of many antennas and independently triggered generators allows achieving GV/m field, while by preventing the E-field induced breakdown it provides control of peak power and energy content at targets. The achieved broadband MV/m E-field levels and energy density significantly exceed levels required for destruction of distant electronic targets; therefore this invention radically improves the effectiveness of the electromagnetic weapons. Furthermore, collimating multiplicity of MV/m beams allows reaching GV/m E-field that exceeds by orders of magnitude the air or vacuum breakdown needed for broadband plasma excitation at resonance plasma frequencies in the 300 GHz range, permitting energy efficient plasma research leading to fusion.

Abstract: A wearable terminal calculates an acceleration amount in the vertical direction by using an acceleration value. The wearable terminal calculates a change amount in an atmospheric pressure value by using atmospheric pressure values. Further, the wearable terminal multiplies the acceleration amount in the vertical direction by the change amount in the atmospheric pressure value. After that, the wearable terminal detects a change amount in the vertical direction on the basis of the calculated multiplication result. For example, when the multiplication result is a positive value, the wearable terminal sets the change amount in the vertical direction as “0”. When the multiplication result is a negative value, the wearable terminal sets the multiplication result as the change amount in the vertical direction.
