Abstract: To provide a semiconductor light emitting device which is capable of accomplishing a broad color reproducibility for an entire image without losing brightness of the entire image. A light source provided on a backlight for a color image display device has a semiconductor light emitting device comprising a solid light emitting device to emit light in a blue or deep blue region or in an ultraviolet region and phosphors, in combination. The phosphors comprise a green emitting phosphor and a red emitting phosphor. The green emitting phosphor and the red emitting phosphor are ones, of which the rate of change of the emission peak intensity at 100° C. to the emission intensity at 25° C., when the wavelength of the excitation light is 400 nm or 455 nm, is at most 40%.

Abstract: A sign of a minor rubbing abnormality of a slide bearing in a diesel engine is accurately detected. In order to realize the accurate detection, the following is performed: detecting waveform data which represents an acceleration of a vibration which occurs when a slide bearing is in operation; transforming acceleration waveform data into an acceleration spectrum of a frequency domain by applying a Fourier transform to the acceleration waveform data; quantifying a plurality of peak information which occurs at a rotational frequency interval of a shaft to be measured in the acceleration spectrum by performing a predetermined signal process combined with rotational frequency information of the shaft; obtaining a characteristic value; monitoring whether the obtained characteristic value has exceeded a predetermined threshold value; and when the characteristic value has exceeded the threshold value, determining that an abnormality has occurred in the slide bearing.
