  • Publication number: 20020163005
    Abstract: There is provided a light emitting device and a process for producing the same in that the light emission efficiency is high, the range of selection of the material is broad, and a device array of a large area can be formed. On a substrate 11 comprising quartz glass, an n-type clad layer 12 comprising a non-single crystal body of n-type AlGaN, a light emitting layer 13 containing plural microcrystals 13a comprising ZnO, and a p-type clad layer 14 comprising a non-single crystal body of p-type BN are laminated in this order. Between the n-type clad layer 12 and the p-type clad layer 14, an insulating layer 15 is formed to fill the gap among the microcrystals 13a to prevent a leaking electric current. The insulating layer 15 is formed by oxidizing the surface of the n-type clad layer 12.

  • Patent number: 6166512
    Abstract: In controller for diesel electric locomotive, after output from an alternating current generator driven by a diesel engine is rectified into direct current power, the direct current power is inverted into alternating current power by an inverter to thereby carry out a power run control of an induction motor, and energy generated by the induction motor is consumed at a brake resistor by moving a brake chopper when the brake is applied. When a revolving speed of said induction motor exceeds a predetermined value at the time of power run, an slip control unit detects slip of wheels and outputs an output reduction signal for the induction motor in correspondence to a level of slip. An output torque of the induction motor is reduced with the output reduction signal. Further, a reduced amount of the output torque of the induction motor is consumed at a brake resistor through a conduction ratio control of the brake chopper.
