Abstract:
A semiconductor photo-detector, which has a high quantum efficiency due to high coupling with an incident beam and operates at higher frequency due to a reduced area of PN junction. In a semiconductor photo-detector of the present invention, reflection layers are deposited on both of the parallel surfaces of a square-shaped wave-guide, while light absorption layers are deposited on at least another pair of parallel surfaces which is one of the parallel pairs of remaining surfaces.
Abstract:
A semiconductor photodetector having a planar structure, including a first silicon layer having a first conductivity and formed with a recess, a silicon dioxide film covering a sidewall of the recess therewith, a germanium monocrystal layer formed in the recess, a first germanium layer having a first conductivity and sandwiched between the germanium monocrystal layer and the first silicon layer in the recess, a second germanium layer having a second conductivity and formed on the germanium monocrystal layer, and a second silicon layer having a second conductivity and formed on the second germanium layer. The first and second germanium layers prevent a depletion layer, which are generated in the germanium monocrystal layer when a voltage is applied to the semiconductor photodetector, from reaching the first and second silicon layers, respectively. In accordance with the semiconductor photodetector, a depletion layer generated in the germanium monocrystal layer is prevented from reaching the first and second silicon layers, and hence, electric charges generated by introduction of light into the germanium monocrystal layer would not be recombined to each other through a recombination core. As a result, it is possible to avoid reduction in a photoelectric current or a quantum efficiency.
Abstract:
A color cathode ray tube includes an electron gun having a plurality of electrodes, an electron beam deflection device and a phosphor screen. A deflection defocusing correcting element is located in a deflection magnetic field produced by the deflection device to locally modify the magnetic field in a path of an electron beam and corrects the deflection defocusing of the electron beam corresponding to deflection of the electron beam. The deflection defocusing element includes the magnetic metal plate providing magnetic pole pieces and a non-magnetic metal support for holding the magnetic metal plate in place. The magnetic metal plate and the non-magnetic metal support are laminated or clad one on another, or joined edge-to-edge.

An electron beam aperture of a second grid electrode of a color cathode ray tube is a rectangular hole formed in the center of a slit-like recess having longer sides extending in the horizontal direction. The vertical width of the rectangular hole is greater than the width of each shorter side of the slit-like recess.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a semiconductor device in which dummy regions which are lower than an isolated element region are formed around the isolated element region. Another dummy region which has a height nearly equal to those of element regions may be formed at a non-element-region-existing region, accompanying with lower dummy regions. The method for making the semiconductor device has the steps of suitably forming the element regions and dummy regions on a insulating layer on a substrate, depositing a insulator on the entire surface of the insulating layer and polishing the insulator to obtain a plane surface.
Abstract:
A suspension coil spring includes a lower end turn portion, an upper end turn portion, and a helical effective portion formed between the end turn portions. The lower end turn portion includes a first portion which contacts a lower spring seat irrespective of a load, and a second portion which contacts the lower spring seat or is separated from the same according to the load. The wire diameter of the second portion is greater than that of the first portion and an average wire diameter of the effective portion. The upper end turn portion includes a third portion which contacts an upper spring seat, and a fourth portion. The wire diameter of the fourth portion is greater that of the third portion and the average wire diameter of the effective portion.
Abstract:
A spring wire with hardness of 50 to 56 HRC is subjected to first and second shot peening processes within a warm working temperature range of 150 to 350° C. In the first shot peening process, the first shot of a shot size of 1.0 mm or more is used. In the second shot peening process, the second shot smaller in shot size than the first shot is used. Through these shot peening processes, compressive residual stress is imparted to the spring wire. The spring wire includes a residual stress increase part, residual stress peak part, and residual stress decrease part. In the residual stress decrease part, a part including the compressive residual stress magnitude of which is equivalent to the magnitude of the compressive residual stress at the surface of the spring wire exists at a position at a depth exceeding the permissible pit depth.

Abstract:
In a broadcast receiving system, a first antenna receives a broadcast signal of a first frequency band and a second antenna receives a signal of a second frequency band different from the first frequency band. A frequency conversion unit converts the signal of the second frequency band into a second signal of the first frequency band. A selection unit selects one of the broadcast signal output from the first antenna and the second signal output from the frequency conversion unit. A demodulation unit demodulates the one of the broadcast signal and the second signal selected by the selection unit.
