Abstract: In the method of making a semiconductor laser, a semiconductor region is grown on an active layer, and a part of the semiconductor region is etched to form a ridge structure. An insulating film is formed over the ridge structure, and a resin layer of photosensitive material is formed to bury the ridge structure. A cured resin portion and an uncured resin portion are formed in the resin layer by performing lithographic exposure of the resin layer, and the uncured resin portion is on the top of the ridge structure. The uncured resin portion is removed to form a dent which is provided on the top of the ridge structure. An overall surface of the cured resin portion and dent is etched to form an etched resin layer. An opening is formed in the etched resin layer by thinning the cured resin portion, and a part of the insulating film is exposed in the opening of the etched resin layer. The part of the insulating film is etched using the etched resin layer as a mask to form an opening in the insulating film.

Abstract: As a composite laser rod capable of satisfying the positional stability and output stability of a laser beam, a laser rod in which a laser active element is doped is intimately inserted into a hollow portion of a non-doped ceramic pipe that has a crystal structure the same as the laser rod followed by baking so as to remove a gap and strain at an interface between the laser rod and the ceramic pipe after the baking further followed by polishing a surface of the ceramic pipe to form a ceramic skin layer, and thereby a composite laser rod is formed. In the composite laser rod, an influence due to fluctuation in the cooling capacity of cooling water or a heat sink is averaged by a non-doped skin layer, temperature fluctuation of the laser rod is suppressed, and an influence of vibration from the cooling water or a cooling fan can be suppressed.

Abstract: The invention provides a light-emitting device, where the active region thereof may be escaped from being damaged by the plasma process. The device is first formed with a semiconductor layer on the semiconductor substrate, next provided with an etching mask. Using the mask, the semiconductor layer on the substrate is dry-etched to form a periodic structure with grooves and mesas. The active regions are buried within the grooves by the OMVPE method.

Abstract: A syringe-type container for liquid medicine which includes a barrel provided with an easily breakable piercing needle at a distal end of a needle-connecting portion thereof; a gasket inserted and held in the barrel; and a guide means fitted on the barrel from the distal side wherein. The syringe-type container is so constructed that turning of the guide means relative to the barrel breaks off the piercing needle from the needle-connecting portion.

Abstract: A processing control unit appropriately detects that a mobile communication terminal is moving at a high speed and changes criteria for reselection of a cell. When reselection of a cell occurs, the processing control unit searches a cell transition list (step S10), and determines whether or not a cell selected as a local station by the reselection of a cell has already been registered in the cell transition list (step S11). Upon determining that the cell is not registered, the processing control unit registers the cell selected as the local station in the cell transition list (step S12) and increments a variable N indicating the number of registered cells by one (step S13).

Abstract: A CPU locks a memory card attached to a card mount with a password by a lock/unlock processing according to an access limit application program, and unlocks the lock based on a predetermined condition. The function to control the secrecy of data recorded on the card is thus improved.
