A storage element including a storage layer configured to hold information by use of a magnetization state of a magnetic material, with a pinned magnetization layer being provided on one side of the storage layer, with a tunnel insulation layer, and with the direction of magnetization of the storage layer being changed through injection of spin polarized electrons by passing a current in the lamination direction, so as to record information in the storage layer, wherein a spin barrier layer configured to restrain diffusion of the spin polarized electrons is provided on the side, opposite to the pinned magnetization layer, of the storage layer; and the spin barrier layer includes at least one material selected from the group composing of oxides, nitrides, and fluorides.

Storage element and memory

A product design system includes a first transmitting section that uses a look-up table to convert second design image data for which image correction is completed into third design image data of a color space that is represented with a thermochromic material, and transmits the third design image data derived from the conversion to an external apparatus, and a second transmitting section that transmits a decorating request based on fourth design image data that is profile-transformed from the second design image data to a decorating apparatus.

Product design system and design image correction apparatus

A storage element includes a storage layer, a fixed magnetization layer, a spin barrier layer, and a spin absorption layer. The storage layer stores information based on a magnetization state of a magnetic material. The fixed magnetization layer is provided for the storage layer through a tunnel insulating layer. The spin barrier layer suppresses diffusion of spin-polarized electrons and is provided on the side of the storage layer opposite the fixed magnetization layer. The spin absorption layer is formed of a nonmagnetic metal layer causing spin pumping and provided on the side of the spin barrier layer opposite the storage layer. A direction of magnetization in the storage layer is changed by passing current in a layering direction to inject spin-polarized electrons so that information is recorded in the storage layer and the spin barrier layer includes at least a material selected from oxides, nitrides, and fluorides.

A request processing apparatus includes a selecting section and an outputting section. The selecting section selects, from multiple pieces of photo data obtained through shooting during an event, one or more pieces of photo data consistent with a request accepted before or during the event. The outputting section outputs the one or more pieces of photo data selected by the selecting section.

Request processing apparatus and request accepting apparatus

A reversible recording medium according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first layer that reversibly changes between an achromatic state and a transparent state, and a second layer that reversibly changes between a chromatic state and a transparent state.

Reversible recording medium and exterior member

An optical apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is an apparatus that performs one or both of writing and erasing of information with respect to a reversible recording medium. This optical apparatus includes a plurality of laser devices varying in emission wavelength in a near infrared region (700 nm to 2500 nm), an optical system that multiplexes laser beams outputted from the plurality of laser devices, and a scanner unit that scans a multiplexed light beam obtained by multiplexing by the optical system, on the reversible recording medium.

Optical apparatus, rendering and erasing apparatus, and irradiation method

A recording device according to the present disclosure includes: a writer that rewrites schedule information visibly recorded on a recording medium and corresponding to a time from first schedule information to second schedule information; and a generator that generates the second schedule information on the basis of a time.

Recording device and recording system

A display unit includes: a display section having an electrophoretic display device provided among a plurality of first electrodes and a second electrode, and displaying an image by switching a white, black, or gray-scale display state depending on an applied voltage; and a drive circuit driving the display section by varying a voltage applied to the first electrodes, while holding the second electrode at a common potential during a write period including frame period(s). When a first region of the display section has a first display state of white or black during a first write period, and an image of a second region thereof is changed while holding the first display state at the first region upon switchover from the first write period to a temporally-continued second write period, the drive circuit offsets the common potential toward a direction in which a voltage applied to the first region is raised.
