  • Publication number: 20160258560
    Abstract: Provided is a joint for high-pressure pipes, which allows improved efficiency in pipe replacement work as well as improved seal performance and resistance against vibration of a pipe joint. The pipe joint for coupling a first pipe and a second pipe comprises: a first joint for coupling with a first pipe; a second joint for coupling with a second pipe; a clamp having a band portion that overlaps an abuttment part for of the first joint and the second joint, and that couples the first joint to the second joint in an abutting state; and a tightening element for shrinking the internal diameter of the band portion by a tightening operation. The external diameter of each end part of the first joint and the second joint in the abuttment part is larger than the external diameter of intermediate portions of the first joint and the second joint.

  • Patent number: 7812364
    Abstract: A semiconductor light emitting device has an outer lead disposed along an outer wall of a mold resin portion perpendicular to a light-emitting plane of a light emitting diode. An outer lead is also disposed at an outer wall of the mold resin portion parallel to and opposite to the light-emitting plane. The outer wall of the resin mold where the outer lead is disposed is taken as a mount face. Each outer wall of the mold resin portion constituting a mount face includes at least one outer lead for an anode and a cathode. According to the present configuration, there is provided a semiconductor light emitting device that allows selection of side-emission mounting or top-emission mounting with the same components on a mount substrate.

  • Patent number: 7759692
    Abstract: A silver-plated metal member region on which a light emitting element is disposed, an extraction electrode having a copper plate pattern, and a convex resin portion separating the metal member region into a plurality of sections are provided on the bottom surface of a concave portion in a package of a semiconductor light emitting device. A covering resin is partially formed on the metal member region and a sealing resin is placed to cover the metal member region, the covering resin and the convex resin portion. According to this configuration, the area of contact is decreased between the sealing resin and the metal member region having the light emitting element placed thereon, to thereby prevent the light emitting element from falling off and being displaced from the metal member region, with the result that a semiconductor light emitting device of high reliability can be provided.

  • Patent number: 7106771
    Abstract: A semiconductor laser device has a semiconductor laser and a polarizing diffraction grating that is arranged ahead of the semiconductor laser. A reflected light from an optical recording medium is diffracted by the polarizing diffraction grating according to the polarization direction of the reflected light. The reflected light is thereby deviated from the direction toward the semiconductor laser to prevent the reflected light from returning to the semiconductor laser.

  • Publication number: 20040001419
    Abstract: First, second semiconductor lasers and a photodetector are integrated in a laser package of an integrated laser unit. A composite PBS is so structured that generally 100% of s-polarized light derived from the first semiconductor laser is reflected while generally 100% of s-polarized light derived from the second semiconductor laser is transmitted. Then, return beams of s-polarized light of the first, second semiconductor lasers separated by the composite PBS 18 are converged on the same photodetector by the first, second polarization hologram devices. By doing so, the first, second polarization hologram devices are adjusted independently of each other, so that the offset adjustment of servo error signals for the first, second semiconductor lasers can be easily achieved in assembly process. Thus, the optical pickup becomes easy to assemble and adjust.
