Abstract: This optical coupler for coupling a plurality of visible light beams having different wavelengths includes: a substrate made of a material different from lithium niobate; and an optical coupling function layer formed on a main surface of the substrate. The optical coupling function layer includes: two multimode-interference-type optical coupling parts; optical-input-side waveguides and an optical-output-side waveguide connected to one multimode-interference-type optical coupling part, and optical-input-side waveguides and an optical-output-side waveguide connected to the other multimode-interference-type optical coupling part. The multimode-interference-type optical coupling parts, the optical-input-side waveguides, and the optical-output-side waveguides are made of a lithium niobate film.

Abstract: A first chip on a first lead frame includes a first source electrode on a surface opposite to the first lead frame. A first source terminal is located in a first direction from the first lead frame. A first gate terminal is located in a second direction from the first source terminal. A first conductor contacts the first source electrode and the first source terminal via conductors. A second chip on a second lead frame includes a second source electrode on a surface opposite to the second lead frame. A second gate terminal is located in a second direction from the first gate terminal. A second source terminal is located in the second direction from the second gate terminal. A second conductor contacts the second source electrode and the second source terminal via conductors.

Abstract: A cooling device for a robot controller includes a servo driver having a circuit board and a heat generation element. The cooling device includes a fin member which is attached to the heat generation element, a temperature sensor, a heat conductive sheet which transmits heat generated in the heat generation element to the temperature sensor, a fan which generates an air flow toward the fin member, and a fan control part which controls the fan based on a detection value of the temperature sensor. The heat conductive sheet is disposed between the circuit board and the heat generation element in the servo driver and is contacted with both of the circuit board and the heat generation element, and the temperature sensor is provided on the circuit board and is covered by the heat conductive sheet.

Abstract: A fault detection device is provided which detects a fault having occurred in encoder wiring in a system including a controlled apparatus having an encoder and a controller controlling the controlled apparatus and, in the system, the encoder and the controller are connected with each other through the encoder wiring. In a case that a signal which is transmitted from the encoder to the controller is defined as a first signal, and a signal which is transmitted from the controller to the encoder is defined as a second signal, the fault detection device includes a first detection circuit which detects a fault in the encoder wiring through which the first signal is transmitted, and a second detection circuit which detects a fault in the encoder wiring through which the second signal is transmitted.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, the connector includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is provided on the second surface of the semiconductor chip and bonded to the second electrode. The first portion has a bonding surface, a heat dissipation surface, and a side surface. The bonding surface is bonded to the second electrode of the semiconductor chip. The heat dissipation surface is opposite to the bonding surface and exposed from the resin. The side surface is tilted with respect to the bonding surface and the heat dissipation surface, and covered with the resin. The second portion protrudes from the first portion toward the second leadframe side. The second portion is thinner than the first portion and bonded to the second leadframe.
