  • Patent number: 9981535
    Abstract: Upright bead sections extending in a door vertical direction and having recessed shapes indented toward a vehicle cabin inside are formed at the two vehicle width direction end portions of a resin door inner panel. Side reinforcement portions of metal hinge reinforcements are disposed inside the recessed shapes of the upright bead sections, and extend in the door vertical direction. The side reinforcement portions include bent plate portions having bent plate shapes running along locations of the upright bead sections from the outside sidewall portions to recessed bottom wall portions. The side reinforcement portions are each joined to the respective outside sidewall portion through an adhesive layer, and are each joined to the respective recessed bottom wall portion through an adhesive layer.

  • Patent number: 8309980
    Abstract: Provided is an infrared light emitting device in which dark current and diffusion current caused by thermally excited holes are suppressed. Thermally excited carriers (holes) generated in a first n-type compound semiconductor layer (102) tend to diffuse in the direction of a ? layer (105). But, the dark current by holes is reduced by providing an n-type wide band gap layer (103) with a larger band gap than the first layer (102) and the ? layer (105) that suppresses the hole diffusion between the first layer (102) and the ? layer (105). The wide band gap layer (103) has a band gap shifted relatively to valence band direction by n-type doping and thereby more effectively functions as a diffusion barrier for the thermally excited holes. Namely, the band gap and n-type doping of the wide band gap layer (103) are adjusted to suppress diffusion of the thermally excited carriers.
