摘要:
A nickel thin film is formed, for example, to a thickness of 2 nm or more on a polyethylene naphthalate substrate by a vacuum evaporation method. A magnetoresistance effect element using ferromagnetic nano-junction is comprised by using two laminates each comprising a nickel thin film formed on a polyethylene naphthalate substrate, and joining these two laminates so that the nickel thin films cross to each other in such a manner that edges of the nickel thin films face each other.
摘要:
A power system protection system for preventing a voltage drop resulting from the reactive power characteristic of a power system. A main device for acquiring a system electric quantity of one or a plurality of upper substations detects a voltage drop resulting from the reactive power characteristic of the power system and transmits a detection signal of the voltage drop to a terminal device for acquiring a system electric quantity of one or a plurality of lower substations. Each terminal device sequentially sheds loads starting from those suffering more from the influence of the voltage drop resulting from the reactive power characteristic based on the load voltage and load current of a load bus.

The present invention provides an optical switch for making part of incident light, which has been made incident on an optical waveguide, selectively emergent to a light emergence portion provided outside the optical waveguide. The optical switch includes a liquid crystal device for selective emergence of the incident light. An arbitrary layer of the liquid crystal device is set such that letting Δn be a difference between a refractive index no of the optical waveguide and a refractive index n1 of the arbitrary layer of the liquid crystal device, “d” be a thickness of the arbitrary layer, and λ be a wavelength of the incident light, the values of Δn, “d”, and λ satisfy a condition of 2.20×10−3≦|Δn·d·λ−1|≦3.03×10−3. With this optical switch, the uniformity of a light emergence efficiency can be easily realized by making use of a small change region in which the light emergence efficiency is not largely varied. The present invention also provides a display unit using the optical switches.

摘要:
A quantum interference semiconductor device using the interference effect of electron waves has a cathode, an anode, and a gate which are mounted in a vacuum. An electron wave which is emitted from the cathode into the vacuum is divided into a plurality of electron waves and, subsequently, the plurality of electron waves are combined at the anode. Phase differences among the plurality of electron waves are controlled by the gate, thereby making the device operative.
