Abstract: A frame body surrounding a perimeter of each light-emitting element is provided one surface of a substrate. Glass films having apertures are formed on the substrate by glass printing to form the frame body.

Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a substrate, a plurality of light-emitting elements mounted on one surface of the substrate, a first glass film provided to one surface of the substrate and having a plurality of apertures that form a light-reflecting frame surrounding the perimeter of each the light-emitting elements, and a second glass film provided to the other surface of the substrate. A coefficient of thermal expansion of the second glass film is greater than that of the substrate when a coefficient of thermal expansion of the first glass film is greater than that of the substrate, and a coefficient of thermal expansion of the second glass film is less than that of the substrate when a coefficient of thermal expansion of the first glass film is less than that of the substrate.

Abstract: To provide a package for light emitting element accommodation that realizes enhanced reflectance without application of a metal plating onto a ceramic. There is provided a package for light emitting element accommodation comprising ceramic substrate (2) having conductor mounting region (8) for mounting of light emitting element (1) on its upper surface; frame (4) of a light reflecting material containing 74.6 mass % or more of alumina whose average particle diameter after sintering is 2.5 ?m or less, the frame (4) disposed on an upper surface of the substrate (2) in such a fashion that internal circumferential surface (7) of through-hole (3) expands outward; and light emitting element (1) mounted on the conductor mounting region (8) of the substrate (2). Thus, the reflectance of the frame (4) is enhanced without application of a metal plating thereonto.

Abstract: An alumina ceramic contains a Ba0.808Al1.71Si2.29O8 phase. The alumina ceramic has high reflectivity and is useful as a reflecting material for a light emitting element. The alumina ceramic which exhibits an X-ray diffraction pattern having a ratio of the peak intensity at 2?=43.3° to that at 22.5° of 0.5 to 2.5 has particularly high reflectivity. The alumina ceramic shows high reflectivity particularly at wavelengths ranging from 300 to 400 nm.

Abstract: In an accumulator in which a peripheral edge of a bladder dividing the interior of a shell into a gas chamber and a liquid chamber is attached to the shell, the radius of curvature of an inner wall of the shell defining the gas chamber is larger than that of an inner wall of the shell defining the liquid chamber. This construction ensures that the diameter of the bladder can be relatively increased, the deflection of the bladder with a variation in pressure in the gas chamber and in the liquid chamber can be increased, and the radius of curvature of a curved portion of the peripheral edge of the bladder can be increased, there by contributing to an overall improvement in the durability of the bladder.

Abstract: A method of winding a metal wire around a reel structure is disclosed in which the wire is wound about a roller to give the wire a round habit of preselected diameter, at least one of the last few coils of said wire being strained so as to increase the diameter of the round habit, and all of the wire being wound on a reel structure whereby the at least one coil having the larger diameter round habit is coiled about the reel structure in an expanded condition with respect to the remainder of the coils. An apparatus for performing this method is also disclosed.
