  • Patent number: 10883689
    Abstract: The left headlamp (100L) includes first light source modules (13L, 14L, and 15L) and a light guide member (16L). The first light source modules (13L, 14L, and 15L) corresponds to partial light distributing patterns (P1L, P2L, and P3L) and have light projection directions parallel to each other. The light guide member (16L) has: first incident surfaces (17L, 18L, and 19L), arranged so as to face the first light source modules (13L, 14L, and 15L) and corresponding to the first light source modules (13L, 14L, and 15L); and an emitting surface (20L), arranged so as to face the first incident surfaces (17L, 18L, and 19L) and shared by the first light source modules (13L, 14L, and 15L). The light guide member (16L) forms a light distributing pattern (PL) by deflecting light projected by the first light source modules (13L, 14L, and 15L).

  • Patent number: 10677442
    Abstract: A highly reliable light emitting apparatus which emits light with high efficiency is obtained. The light emitting apparatus includes a light emitting member, a refrigerant, and a housing. The light emitting member includes a first surface including a phosphor irradiated with light to emit light, and a second surface different from the first surface. The refrigerant cools the light emitting member. The housing includes a holding portion for holding the refrigerant. A surface of the housing is provided with an opening communicating with the holding portion. The light emitting member is connected to the housing such that the second surface closes the opening.

  • Publication number: 20160138059
    Abstract: A production method of an optically active fluorolactic derivative according to the present invention includes asymmetrically reducing a fluoropyruvic acid derivative (or fluoropyruvic acid hydrate) with the use of an ?-keto acid dehydrogenase or ?-keto acid reductase. The optically active fluorolactic derivative can be obtained with high optical purity under mild reaction conditions by the asymmetric reduction reaction of the fluoropyruvic acid derivative with the specific enzyme.

  • Publication number: 20150070927
    Abstract: A moisture removal device 10 actively discharges moisture in a complex-shape headlamp 1 using an electrolyte member 14. In order for the electrolyte member 14 not to be heated up when the moisture removal device 10 is used in an atmosphere in which a combustible gas exists, electrode members 19, 20 made of a metal having a sufficient heat-transfer effect are used. Further, by use of electrode portions 15, 15a of the electrode member 19, an opening portion 13 of a cylindrical convex portion 12 that protrudes into the headlamp 1 is closed, to thereby protect the electrolyte member 14.
