There is provided a method of determining whether or not a result of a processing process of a laser processing apparatus is acceptable including a laser processing step of applying a laser beam to predetermined processing regions of a workpiece held on a chuck table, thereby performing a piercing process on the workpiece, an image capturing step of capturing images of all the processing regions while moving the image capturing unit and the workpiece relatively to each other, a detecting step of detecting regions where light is not transmitted through the workpiece among the processing regions in the image captured in the image capturing step, and a determining step of determining that the laser processing apparatus needs to be readjusted if the regions where light is not transmitted through the workpiece is equal to or more than the predetermined quantity.

Method of determining whether or not result of processing process of laser processing apparatus is acceptable

The present invention provides a processing apparatus () including: an acquiring unit () which acquires an adjustment request specifying a control time period and a control amount for controlling power demand; a determining unit () which, on the basis of the adjustment request, determines a first consumer whose power demand is to be controlled, and a control amount of the first consumer and a time period during which power demand of the first consumer is controlled; and an inference unit () which infers whether, if power demand of the first consumer were controlled in accordance with a determination result made by the determining unit (), power demand of the first consumer before and/or after control would change from power demand of the first consumer if the power demand were not controlled.

Processing apparatus, processing method, and program for inferring demand response

The present invention provides a power management apparatus () including a request acquisition unit () that acquires a power consumption request specifying a power amount to be consumed, a time period during which power is consumed, and a power sales price P, a consumer information acquisition unit () that acquires consumer information including a power sales price for each time period of a power retailer selling power to each of a plurality of power consumers and specification information of a power storage system of each of the plurality of power consumers, and a determination unit () that determines a charging and discharging schedule of the power storage system of each power consumer on the basis of the consumer information and the power consumption request.

A lift-off method transfers onto a transfer substrate an optical device layer of an optical device wafer in which the optical device layer is formed over a front surface of an epitaxy substrate through a GaN buffer layer. The lift-off method includes: bonding the transfer substrate onto a front surface of the optical device layer through a bonding layer to form a composite substrate; applying a pulsed laser beam of such a wavelength as to be transferred through the epitaxy substrate constituting the composite substrate but to be absorbed in the buffer layer from a back surface side of the epitaxy substrate, to break the buffer layer; and peeling the optical device layer from the epitaxy substrate and transferring the optical device layer onto the transfer substrate, after the buffer layer breaking step is performed.

A gettering layer forming method includes a coating step of applying a solution of metal salt to a back side of a wafer, and a diffusing step of heating the wafer after performing the coating step, thereby diffusing the metal salt on the back side of the wafer to form a gettering layer containing the metal salt on the back side of the wafer, in which the metal salt is diffused in the gettering layer.

A display driver that receives display line data of plural display lines to perform drive control on a display panel includes a line memory for storing display line data which is supplied from the outside. The display driver includes a logic circuit that controls write and read-out of the display line data in and from the line memory, and sorts pixel data of the display line data using read out data from the line memory, to generate display drive data. Drive circuits drive the display panel in units of display lines based on the drive data which is output from the logic circuit. The drive circuits are separately arranged on both sides of the logic circuit and the line memory which are interposed therebetween. The storage capacity of the line memory corresponds to the number of lines smaller than the number of display lines of a display frame.

The present invention relates to a process for producing glycidol from glycerol carbonate by subjecting the glycerol carbonate to decarboxylation reaction in the presence of a solvent containing no active hydrogen. In the process, glycidol can be produced from glycerol carbonate as a raw material of the glycidol with a high selectivity.
