  • Publication number: 20150292939
    Abstract: Difference between light intake quantities just from a front and from an upper direction is reduced in an illuminance sensor. A light-guiding member includes a light-guiding member base part, a compound light-guiding part and an infrared light receiving light-guiding part. Side surface parts each extending backward are formed at right and left ends of the light-guiding member base part. The compound light-guiding part includes a front square column part extending frontward from the light-guiding member base part, a back square column part extending backward therefrom, and a round column part extending frontward from the front square column part. A plurality of slits are formed in the light-guiding member base part such that boundaries of base portions of the front square column part and the back square column part communicate with each other.

  • Publication number: 20140211440
    Abstract: Provided is technology that stably fixes a plurality of harnesses all at once, without using a wire holder. A line-shaping section 30 for routing harnesses 99 is created in a front cabinet forming section 20. The line-shaping section 30 comprises two ribs 40 separated by a prescribed distance and a hook 50 positioned in the center thereof and created so as to cover from the top, when viewed from the side surface. The harnesses 99 held by the ribs 40 and the hook are prevented from being displaced outside, by a hook locking section 54. In addition, routing work for the harnesses 99 is able to be performed smoothly since a sloping surface (a guide section 56) is created in a tip part of the hook locking section 54.

  • Patent number: 5401099
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of measuring junction temperature of a diode junction within a semiconductor device. The method has the steps of measuring current/voltage characteristics for various diodes at room temperature, determining an ideal factor for each diode, changing the temperature of the diodes to a selected temperature, remeasuring current/voltage characteristics for each diode, and comparing the measurements that have been made so as to obtain a temperature coefficients.
