Abstract:
A semiconductor light emitting device includes a first conductivity-type first semiconductor layer; an emission layer; a second conductivity-type second semiconductor layer; and a second conductivity-type transparent substrate transparent to light beams from the emission layer and directly bonded to the second semiconductor layer. The transparent substrate has a parallel surface almost parallel to the emission layer on an opposite side of the emission layer, and an inclined surface adjoining the parallel surface and inclined to the parallel surface. Light beams totally reflected on the parallel surface and light beams totally reflected on a side surface of the transparent substrate come incident to the inclined surface at an angle smaller than the critical angle, and emit out of the semiconductor light emitting device.
Abstract:
There is provided a control unit including a vehicle speed sensor for detecting a vehicle speed, a vehicle stop determination module for determining whether or not a vehicle is stopping based on a detection result of the vehicle sensor and a controller, wherein the controller operates an inclination component of gravity acceleration in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle on a road surface on which the vehicle is running based on an output of the power source detected by a power source output sensor and a brake torque detected by a brake torque sensors when the stop determination unit is determining that the vehicle is in a stopped state and controls either of the output of the power source and the brake force based on the result of the calculation when the vehicle starts.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a polypropylene polymer film superior in convenience in handling that does not generate troubles such as wrinkling, elongation or breakage during processing at a high temperature of 80° C. to 120° C., independently of the conveying method used in the drying step, and an adhesive film having the polypropylene polymer film as its carrier. Provided are a polypropylene polymer film, characterized by having a tensile modulus of 300 MPa to 1,000 MPa under an atmosphere at 23° C. and 60 MPa to 120 MPa under an atmosphere at 120° C. and an adhesive film containing it as the carrier.
Abstract:
A CCD camera captures an image of the lachrymal fluid layer in a prescribed position of a subject's eye to which a target substance is administered. Images are selected from a plurality of images captured, and the positions of the target substance in the selected images and the capturing times thereof are used to compute the movement speed of the target substance. The computed movement speed of the target substance is then outputted as the movement speed of the lachrymal fluid of the subject's eye. This arrangement allows the movement speed of lachrymal fluid to be reliably measured, assuring quantitative diagnosis even of severe dry eye.
Abstract:
A water-dilutable emulsion lubricant for machining, exhibiting improved dispersibility and emulsion stability, by emulsifying an oil system, composed of a base oil and an effective amount of fine particles of boron nitride of a crystalline turbostratic structure, dispersed in the base oil, in a water system, using an emulsifier. The lubricant is free from heavy metals, e.g., molybdenum disulfide and useful for machining difficult-to-cut materials such as Ti alloys and Inconel. The lubricant is effective even at a diluted state comprising 0.001% up to 0.1% by weight of crystalline t-BN.
Abstract:
A semiconductor light-emitting element has a semiconductor laminate including an active layer emitting light of a prescribed emission wavelength and a step located at an in-depth position beyond the active layer. The element also has a substrate transparent to the emission wavelength, a first electrode provided on a surface of the semiconductor laminate, and a second electrode provided on the step. The substrate transparent to the emission wavelength improves the external emission efficiency. The locations of the first and second electrodes substantially prevent current to flow through a direct connection interface between the semiconductor laminate and the substrate. Thereby, the element exhibits satisfactory electrical characteristics even when an incomplete junction attributed to hillock or the like is generated in the direct connection interface.
Abstract:
A gas fryer includes a tank for holding cooking oil, a heat pipe located in the middle depth of the tank so that the heat pipe is soaked in the cooking oil, a combustion chamber located at the combustion gas inlet side of the heat pipe, and a flue located at a combustion gas outlet side of the heat pipe. The heat pipe has a sleeve fitted in the inner wall of the heat pipe, and a spirally shaped mixer installed in the heat pipe. The flue also has an introduction system for fresh air, with a blowing nozzle of the fresh air positioned proximate to a narrowed region located about in the middle of the flue along a longitudinal axis, an inlet of fresh air located at a part of the flue, and a passage of fresh air provided along the inner and/or outer wall of the flue.
Abstract:
A polyfluoroalkyl iodide is reacted with a (meth)acrylic acid metal salt to form a corresponding polyfluoroalkyl (meth)acrylate ester. The polyfluoroalkyl (meth)acrylate ester is separated from the reaction product through the evaporation, so that the ester is recovered. According to the present method, the polyfluoroalkyl iodide is reacted with the (meth)acrylic acid metal salt without introducing water, thus making it possible to prepare a polyfluoroalkyl (meth)acrylate ester. The resulting ester can also be used to copolymerize an ethylenically unsaturated compound capable of copolymerizing with the ester.
