Abstract: According to one implementation, an aviation system 100 includes electric field sensors 112 and a ground system 114 including a computer configured to communicate with each of the electric field sensors 112. The computer is configured to: acquire electric field intensities from the electric field sensors 112 respectively, and generate a first electric field distribution on a ground surface 16 based on the electric field intensities; derive a matrix; derive a pseudo inverse matrix of the matrix; derive an electric charge distribution on the horizontal plane by multiplying the pseudo inverse matrix by the first electric field distribution on the ground surface 16; and derive a second electric field distribution on a flight path based on the electric charge distribution. The first electric field distribution on the ground surface 16 is derived by multiplying the matrix by electric charges temporarily set on a horizontal plane at a predetermined altitude.

Abstract: In a microwave plasma source, a tubular magnet portion has a first opening end and a second opening end. The first opening end has a first polarity, and the second opening end has a second polarity. The tubular body is surrounded by the tubular magnet portion. A first magnetic circuit portion closes the first opening end. A second magnetic circuit portion is disposed opposite to the first magnetic circuit portion. The second magnetic circuit portion has a first opening part. An antenna penetrates the first magnetic circuit portion, is introduced to a space, and supplies microwave power to the space. The nozzle portion has a second opening part that has a smaller opening area than the first opening part and communicates with the first opening part. When an inner diameter of the tubular body is represented by a (mm), and a microwave cutoff wavelength of the microwave power being supplied to the space is represented by λ (mm), the microwave plasma source is configured to satisfy a relational expression λ>3.41×(a/2).

Abstract: An industrial ejector includes: a Laval nozzle in which a first channel which has a throat and along which a fluid flows in a first direction is formed; and a main body which is formed in a tubular shape, in which the Laval nozzle disposed therein is fixed to a part of an inner surface thereof, and in which a second channel is formed between the rest of the inner surface and the Laval nozzle. The second channel is disposed at a first side with respect to the first channel in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. An opening is obliquely cut and formed in an end of the first channel at a downstream side and inclined toward the first side in the downstream direction and then toward the second channel.

Abstract: A telescope system includes a telescope and a selective shielding unit including at least one member including a passage allowable region for an observation target electromagnetic wave and a passage blocking region for the observation target electromagnetic wave. The telescope includes a position detectable detector that detects the observation target electromagnetic wave on a surface different from a focal plane of the telescope. The selective shielding unit is disposed on a front side of the detector. Patterns of the passage allowable region and the passage blocking region of the at least one member and disposition of the at least one member are set to allow for reconstruction of an observation image based on an image detected in the detector.

Abstract: A substance detection system and a substance detection method are provided. The temperature identifying portion identifies a surface temperature of the quartz substrate, based on a difference between a deviation of the fundamental wave frequency from at least any predetermined reference fundamental wave frequency of the reference crystal resonator and the detecting crystal resonator and a deviation of the third harmonic frequency from a predetermined reference third harmonic frequency. The substance identifying portion identifies a temperature at which a contaminant attached to the detecting crystal resonator is desorbed from the detecting crystal resonator to identify the contaminant based on the temperature at which the contaminant is desorbed. The temperature is identified based on a difference between the fundamental wave frequency of the reference crystal resonator and the fundamental wave frequency of the detecting crystal resonator measured by the frequency measuring portion and the temperature identified by the temperature identifying portion.
