  • Patent number: 9175818
    Abstract: A light-emitting apparatus including: a substrate; an LED chip mounted on a first surface of the substrate; a fluorescent material-containing layer containing a first fluorescent material, which fluorescent material-containing layer is provided above the first surface of the substrate so as to cover the LED chip; and a color-adjusting fluorescent layer that contains a second fluorescent material, which color-adjusting fluorescent material layer is formed in a layer provided on an outer side of the fluorescent material-containing layer in an emission direction, the color-adjusting fluorescent layer being formed in dots. Thus, the present invention provides a light-emitting apparatus and a method for manufacturing the same, each making it possible to carry out fine color adjustment so as to prevent a subtle color shift that occurs due to a factor such as a difference in concentration of a fluorescent material or the like.

  • Patent number: 8130499
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat dissipation structure board and a module using this heat dissipation structure used for purpose required of high reliability such as a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle and to a method of manufacturing the heat dissipation structure. A resin structure is disposed on a lead frame constituting a heat dissipation board and an odd-shaped electronic component or the like mounted on this lead frame or the like to cover up the lead frame and the odd-shaped electronic component or the like, and this resin structure is fixed to a metal plate, a chassis of a device and the like to constitute the heat dissipation structure board as a whole, whereby fixing strengths of fixing the lead frame and the odd-shaped electronic component or the like, a bonding strength at an interface between the lead frame and the heat transfer layer and the like can be reinforced.

  • Patent number: 7964382
    Abstract: This invention provides a polynucleotide that encodes a protein having lactate dehydrogenase activity and such protein that can be used for producing D-lactic acid. This polynucleotide has the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 (a), and it hybridizes under stringent conditions with a probe comprising all or part of the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 or a complementary strand thereof and encodes a protein having D-lactate dehydrogenase activity (b).

  • Publication number: 20090104675
    Abstract: Lactic acid with high optical purity that has not previously been achieved is produced. It has been found that the optical purity of lactic acid is reduced as the racemization reaction of lactic acid proceeds when lactic acid coexists with glycerol. By reducing the amount of glycerol prior to concentrating lactic acid by heating, the optical purity of lactic acid after concentration by heating can be maintained at a high level.
