  • Patent number: 9093619
    Abstract: The light emitting device comprises a substrate (2), a positive electrode (6) and a negative electrode (4) formed on the substrate (2), a light emitting diode (8) connected to the positive electrode (6) and the negative electrode (4), the transparent resin (12 and 14) that covers the light emitting diode (8), a fluorescent material (16) that absorbs at least part of light emitted by the light emitting diode (8) and converts it to light of longer wavelength, and the lens that changes the direction of light emission from the light emitting diode (8) and/or the fluorescent material (16). The resin (12 and 14) includes the fluorescent material (16) and is formed so as to constitute the lens of substantially semi-cylindrical shape, and the fluorescent material (16) included in the resin (12 and 14) is distributed with a higher concentration in a region near the surface of the light emitting diode (8) than in a region near the surface of the portion that constitutes the lens.

  • Patent number: 6089535
    Abstract: The throttle valve control device of this invention controls a throttle based on outputs of a position sensor including a first sensor and a second sensor which detect a position of a same object, wherein the output of the first sensor and the output of the second sensor change opposite to each other depending on a change in the position of the object, and the throttle valve control device determines the position sensor abnormal when a variation in the output of the first sensor is equal to or greater than a first threshold value and a variation in the output of the second sensor is equal to or greater than a second threshold value.
