  • Patent number: 7592640
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to a light emitting semiconductor apparatus with reduced color unevenness and suppressed topical deterioration over time with regard to an amount and chromaticity of the illuminating light. The light emitting semiconductor apparatus of the disclosed subject matter can include three separate bonding pads. Among those, the centrally located bonding pad is die bonded to two types of light emitting devices which have an identical material and structure and almost equal sizes, but are different in orientation and direction characteristic of PN-electrodes. The bonding pad located in an outermost location is die-bonded to the light emitting device. In this case, the direction characteristic of a central light emitting device exhibits a substantial reverse conical form while the direction characteristic of the light emitting device exhibits a substantial conical form.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4703652
    Abstract: Piezoelectric type liquid level sensor for detecting whether the level of various liquids such as oil of an internal combustion engine, a generator or the like is a predetermined value or higher or not, and method of making the sensor. The sensor is arranged to eliminate the influence of the weight of the lead wires on the vibration element and to facilitate its assembly. The sensor may be provided with a damper member for increasing the sensitivity.
