Hoya has huge world demand for its patented process for melting and annealing optical glass, which shrinks production times from 26 days to three days.
The thin film LIB fabricated on a mica substrate with high annealing temperature is transferred onto polymer substrates through a simple physical delamination of sacrificial substrates.
Quantum annealing is a mathematical operation where the extreme points of a function (the maxima and minma of a graph, for example) are determined from a given set of discrete candidate solutions.
Its greatest exponent is Yasuki Hiramatsu, born into a family of metalsmiths, who, through an annealing process, can twist a single length of gold or silver into a ring or necklace enchantingly resembling a minimalist bird's-nest.
