Flat and clean surfaces are prepared for both the (Al, Ga, In)N and ZnO wafers. A wafer bonding process is then performed between the (Al, Ga, In)N and ZnO wafers, wherein the (Al, Ga, In)N and ZnO wafers are joined together and then wafer bonded in a nitrogen ambient under uniaxial pressure at a set temperature for a set duration. After the wafer bonding process, ZnO is shaped for increasing light extraction from inside of LED.

Abstract: An image from a camera is to be recorded and reversion is to be made to an image of an optional scene to reproduce an image of such scene. To this end, a CPU 20 converts image signals at a rate of 90 frames per second from a camera device 10 into parallel signals to output image signals of the usual rate of 30 frames per second. A video server 30 records the image signals from the CCU 20 on a RAID 32. If a pre-set scene is to be reproduced, the image signals are read out from the RAID 32 in the order of the original image signals to output the read-out image signals to outside.

Abstract: A molded glass substrate for a magnetic disk is manufactured in the following manner: press-molding a heated glass material in the inside space of a molding die including a pair of dies, each having a predetermined processing plane, and a barrel die for slidably guiding the dies while forming the outer circumference of the glass material joined to both principal surfaces corresponding to the dies as a molding-free face; cooling the press-molded glass substrate; and forming a predetermined through-hole in the central portion of the glass substrate. This method enables manufacturing that prevents generation of industrial waste, such as glass power, abrasive, and solvent, as much as possible.

Abstract: A fragrance composition which contains 1,3-dimethoxy-5-methylbenzene in an amount of from 0.01 to 30% by weight as a fragrance modifier that provides a sedative effect. 1,3-Dimethoxy-5-methylbenzene used in the present invention can exhibit a sedative effect not only by itself but also when mixed with various formulations of jasmine, floral and the like types having stimulative effects. Also, since a single chemical is used as an active ingredient, the present invention is more effective than the sedative function of natural essential oil from a viewpoint of sedation. In addition, since 1,3-dimethoxy-5-methylbenzene itself has a mild scent, its sedative effect can be obtained without altering original fragrance of interest.

Abstract: A method for making optical preforms of optical elements without residual stress or distortion is provided. In this method, an optical material is supplied between upper and lower molds. The upper mold has a plurality of recesses arranged in a predetermined pitch, and each recess corresponds to a first surface shape of the optical element. The lower mold has a plurality of recesses facing the recesses of the upper mold and each recess of the lower mold corresponds to a second surface shape of the optical element. The supplied optical material is pressed between the upper and lower molds to be a set of optical preforms. The set of optical preforms is processed by die punching or tool cutting to separate each optical preform from the set of optical preforms. Each optical preform is used for producing an optical element by further pressing. Alternatively, optical element can be formed directly by the press molding process.
