  • Publication number: 20070099008
    Abstract: Provided is a method of producing a high molecular weight organopolysiloxane with a polystyrene equivalent weight average molecular weight of at least 5×104, comprising the steps of producing an organopolysiloxane by subjecting a silane compound having a hydrolyzable group to a first hydrolysis and condensation, and then subjecting that organopolysiloxane to an additional second hydrolysis and condensation. The high molecular weight organopolysiloxane is stable, resistant to gelling, and resistant to cracking even when formed as a thick film. A resin composition comprising the high molecular weight organopolysiloxane and a condensation catalyst is useful for sealing an optical element and for producing an optical semiconductor device.

  • Patent number: 6730933
    Abstract: In a light irradiation device in which a light emitting element is attached to a printed circuit board, the heat radiation properties are enhanced, and improvement of the light emitting efficiency, reduction of the size and weight, and prevention of temporal changes are realized. A Cu pattern covered with Ni is formed on a metal substrate 11. Light emitting elements 11 are mounted on the pattern in the form of a series circuit. Metal substrates in each of which the series connection is formed are connected to one another in parallel. Since Ni has excellent corrosion resistance and a high reflection efficiency, the surfaces of the substrates themselves can be used as reflective plates. A lens 37 is formed for each of the light emitting elements, whereby the emission efficiency can be further improved. A transparent substrate 50 is bonded via a seal 51, and temporal changes of a light emitting element 10 and electrodes which are sealed therein are suppressed.

  • Patent number: 6591104
    Abstract: Disclosed is a mobile communication system including a network constituted of at least one switching center and a plurality of base stations, and a mobile station which communicates with the base stations simultaneously. The system permits varying transmission delay between the switching center and the base stations according to the type of services available to the mobile station. The object of the present invention is to propose a communication which permits varying transmission delay according to the type of service currently employed, and to promptly recover a synchronization state even if an out-of-sync state happens. To attain the object, a memory means (mobile switching center processor 32) stores transmission delay characteristics corresponding to services which are available to the mobile station.
