Patent number: 8294162Abstract: An LED device and an LED lighting apparatus using the same can include a casing including a cavity and at least one pair of LED chips including a first and second LED chips. The LED chips can be adjacently located in the cavity, and an encapsulating resin including a phosphor can be disposed in the cavity so as to encapsulate the LED chips. A light-emitting surface of the first LED chip can be covered with a transparent resin, and therefore color temperatures of light emitted from the first and second LED chips can be located on a substantially black body due to a difference between their distances to the encapsulating resin. Thus, the LED lighting apparatus using the LED device can selectively emit white light having a preferable color temperature that is close to a natural color between the color temperatures by adjusting current applied to the LED chips.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2009Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Stanley Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Toshiyuki Nakajima

Publication number: 20100110659Abstract: An LED lighting unit and a method for manufacturing the same can include a first cavity and a second cavity which has a depth that is different from that of the first cavity. The first and the second cavities can include an LED chip and an encapsulating resin including a phosphor. Color temperatures of light emitted from these cavities can be controlled by changing thicknesses of the encapsulating resin based on the depth of each of these cavities so as to be located on a substantially black body, and the variability of the optical characteristics can be reduced due to the simple structure. Thus, the LED lighting unit can emit light having a favorable color temperature that is close to a natural light using light that is emitted from these cavities. The manufacturing method can include forming the thickness of the encapsulating resin with accuracy, and therefore can provide a suitable LED lighting unit for various lighting systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2009Publication date: May 6, 2010Inventor: Toshiyuki Nakajima

Patent number: 5797937Abstract: An ophthalmologic knife includes a handle, and a blade having a base portion fixed to the tip of the handle and an incision-forming portion integrally formed with the base portion. The entire portion of the blade or at least part of the incision-forming portion which is inserted into the cornea of an eyeball has an arcuate cross section. By using the ophthalmologic knife, a three-dimensional incision having an arcuate cross section is formed in the cornea or the like. When a three-dimensional object having a cylindrical cross section or the like is inserted into the incision, the convex portion surrounded by the incision is bent toward the inside of the eyeball. This allows smooth insertion of the object.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 1996Date of Patent: August 25, 1998Assignee: Canon Staar Co. Inc.Inventors: Kazuo Ichikawa, Toshiyuki Nakajima

Patent number: 5653754Abstract: A deformable intraocular lens which does not deviate within the eye and is free from strains or deformation even when the tails of the supports are deformed by external force such as compression.The lens according to the invention has a deformable optical part which is made of an elastic material, and a plurality of supports which are made of a material different from that of the optical part and which are bonded to the optical part, each of the supports having, in a serial integration, a flexible tail, a rigid base which cuts off the transmission of stress generated by the deformation of the tail to the optical part, and an anchor which binds the support to the optical part, wherein the transitional part of the tail and the base is disposed outside the optical part. With this structure, even when the tails of the supports are deformed by external force, the tails themselves absorb the deformation stress and the rigid bases cut off transmission of the stress to the optical part.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1995Date of Patent: August 5, 1997Assignee: Canon Staar Co., Inc.Inventors: Toshiyuki Nakajima, Toshikazu Kikuchi
