Semiconductor device and method for manufacturing semiconductor device

A power supply unit for an aerosol generation device that generates an aerosol by heating an aerosol source, the power supply unit including: a power supply; a connector electrically connectable to an external power supply; a first load; a charging IC including an input terminal connected to the connector, a charging terminal connected to the power supply, and an output terminal connected to the first load, and configured to convert electric power input to the input terminal and output the converted electric power from the charging terminal; and a discharge path configured to connect the power supply and a second load without passing through the charging IC, in which the charging IC is configured to supply electric power input from the power supply to the charging terminal to the first load via the output terminal.

Power supply unit for aerosol generation device

A power supply unit of an aerosol generation device which a heating unit is attachable to and detachable from includes: a secondary battery; a case forming a surface of the power supply unit; a chassis accommodated in an internal space of the case and made of an insulating resin; a plurality of magnets held by the chassis with a gap therebetween; an inner member covering a side surface of the chassis; and an outer member covering an outer surface of the inner member. The inner member includes a plurality of through holes exposing the plurality of magnets, and the outer member is replaceably fixed by the plurality of magnets exposed from the plurality of through holes.

Power supply unit of aerosol generation device

A curved surface constituting a convex surface or a concave surface of each of a plurality of lenses includes at least a silicon nitride layer and another silicon nitride layer. An interlayer having a composition different from a composition of the silicon nitride layer and a composition of the other silicon nitride layer is arranged between the silicon nitride layer and the other silicon nitride layer, and a thickness of the interlayer is less than a thickness of the silicon nitride layer and a thickness of the other silicon nitride layer.

Optical apparatus and equipment

The present invention is to analyze information collected from each device via a network to a server, thereby not only detecting an abnormal state of the device itself, but also proposing replacement with another device being the most beneficial in a user's life or presenting an beneficial usage. An information notifying apparatus according to the present invention is further comprising: an information receiving unit configured to receive usage information transmitted from an electric device on a client side; an external condition information acquiring unit configured to acquire external condition information relating to performance or an operation state of the electric device; a presented information determining unit configured to determine information to be notified to a user based on the usage information and the external condition information; and an information transmitting unit configured to transmit the information determined by the presented information determining unit to a display device.

Information notifying apparatus

A sensor detects whether or not an input device and a display device are in a combined state. A control mode determining unit determines a control mode associated with the state detected by the sensor. A control processing unit switches a control mode of a control target apparatus to the control mode determined by the control mode determining unit, and causes the display device to display a function to be operated in a display mode corresponding to the switched control mode.

In an X-ray CT apparatus, a tube current value calculation unit calculates a tube current value of an X-ray tube based on a successive approximation process condition and based on an input scanning condition and/or a reconstruction condition. A scanning control unit performs scanning based on the calculated tube current value of the X-ray tub, and an image reconstruction unit reconstructs a tomographic image of an object, in accordance with the selected successive approximation process condition and the reconstruction condition. The tomographic image is reconstructed from an amount of transmitted X-rays detected by an X-ray detector after being emitted from an X-ray source to the object, in accordance with the calculated tube current value of the X-ray tube, and being transmitted through the object.

X-ray CT apparatus and tomography method

Access control with easy change/extension is implemented. Access to data is controlled by a first storage unit that stores a plurality of attribute values respectively selected from a plurality of integers which are relatively prime and identifying a plurality of attributes of users, in association with respective users a second storage unit that stores a product of at least two attribute values which are common to users belonging to a set of users, in association with respective data to be accessed, to show the set of users which are targets of controlling access to the data. A plurality of attribute values corresponding to a user who requests access are read from the first storage unit, and a product of at least two of the plurality of read attribute values is calculated. The user is accepted as a target of controlling access to the data, on condition that the calculated product of attribute values matches a product of attribute values stored in the second storage unit in association with the data to be accessed.
