  • Patent number: 9099614
    Abstract: A semiconductor light emitting element suppressing non-uniformity in light emission on a light emitting surface is provided. An n-type semiconductor layer, a light emitting layer and a p-type semiconductor layer are laminated in order, and a translucent electrode film is laminated on the p-type semiconductor layer and a p-electrode is provided on the translucent electrode film. On the other hand, an n-electrode is provided on a semiconductor layer exposure surface that exposes the n-type semiconductor layer. The p-electrode includes a connecting portion having a circular planar shape and an extending portion that extends like a long and slender strip from the connecting portion to encircle and face the n-electrode. Holes in the translucent electrode film are provided such that the density thereof is decreased along with a move from the n-electrode side toward the p-electrode side.

  • Patent number: 3944030
    Abstract: In a mechano-pneumatic timer device having a vessel, a membrane piston with its skirt fixedly attached to the vessel for defining jointly a variable volume chamber, a spring for urging the piston in its expanding direction, a check valve cooperating with the piston for evacuating air from the chamber to the outside atmosphere when the piston is contracted, a passage for supplementing air from open atmosphere to the chamber when negative pressure prevails in the chamber by virtue of the expanding movement of the piston for a performing predetermined time-limiting operation of the timer, and a device cooperating with the passage for allowing a limited flow rate of the air drawn by the piston, with the device consisting of a composite sheet having a main body formed lengthwise of pervious material such as foamed synthetic resin and a non-pervious cover layer integral with the main body in facial engagement with the passage.
