Abstract: This invention presents a gallium nitride phosphor with superior light emitting characteristics, its method of manufacture, and a display device which uses the phosphor. By heat treatment or microwave irradiation of gallium nitride phosphor powder in an ambient containing essentially no H2 or H2O, a phosphor is produced wherein the amount of H2 and H2O gas evolved when heated in a vacuum is less than or equal to 0.2 cm3/g of phosphor and 2.0 cm3/g of phosphor respectively.

Abstract: An etching processing apparatus 1 has a transfer chamber 2, a plurality of processing chambers 3 and 4, and a plurality of cassette chambers 7 and 8. Inside the transfer chamber 2, a transfer mechanism 14 is provided. A control device 17 pauses the operation of the vacuum pump 16 after closing an opening/closing valve 15 of a vacuum evacuating mechanism, which vacuum evacuates the transfer chamber 2 in which the transfer mechanism 14 is provided, when the operation of the transfer mechanism 14 is paused for a predetermined time or longer. Accordingly, conservation of energy becomes possible without causing decrease of productivity.

Abstract: In a stick coil, there is disclosed an ignition coil for an internal combustion engine which can prevent a crack (a collar leak) from being generated due to a thermal stress. In this ignition coil, the structure is made such that a size (L) of a portion which is in parallel to an axial direction of a primary spool (121) in a projection portion (121b) is larger than a size (T) of a portion which is in parallel to an orthogonal direction to the axial direction of the primary spool (121). Accordingly, a frontal projected area of the projection portion (121b) as seen from a flowing direction of a resin becomes small, a resin flow is hard to get out of order at a time when the resin flows through a portion corresponding to the projection portion (121b) at the forming time, and a convoluted void and a weld are hard to be generated.

Abstract: A gallium nitride phosphor of which the particles are coated with a surface-treating compound that contains at least one of P and Sb.

Abstract: An ignition coil includes a housing which contains a central core portion, an inner spool having a first winding, and an outer spool having a second winding. The inner spool extends outward of the central core portion. The outer spool extends outward of the inner spool. A locating member includes a locating rib adjacent to an upper portion of the central core portion. The locating rib is in a gap between the inner spool and the central core portion, and locates the inner spool and the central core portion relative to each other. Insulating resin injected into the housing provides insulation among parts in the housing. At least one of the inner spool and the locating member has a void-escape passage which connects the gap and an outside of the inner spool with each other, and which allows a void to escape from the injected insulating resin in the gap.

Abstract: A volume control system in a storage area network environment, which is capable of executing volume operation requests in multiple stages, and is also capable of canceling an erroneous volume operation even after the operation has been executed by the user. A volume operation request for executing run commands from the user is analyzed, and parameters for executing the volume operation request are created by a program that operates the storage apparatus. Each of the parameters is provided with an attribute indicating as to whether cancellation is possible or as to when the execution is to be performed. If cancellation of the run command is possible, a parameter for canceling the run command is created simultaneously. The run commands may be executed on the basis of the parameters after verifying by a simulation as to whether or not the various parameters created are correct. At this point, the user may select whether to execute the run commands promptly or in stages.

Abstract: A phosphor in the form of a columnar powder capable of exhibiting enhanced luminous efficiency, providing various luminous colors by electron excitation depending on the selection of elements added thereto and having improved life characteristics. The phosphor is made by heating a starting material constituted by a GaN based phosphor material to a temperature equal to or greater than a sublimation temperature thereof. The phosphor thus obtained is represented by Ga1−xInxN:A,B, wherein x is larger than or equal to 0 and smaller than 1 (0≦x<1), A is Zn or Mg, and B is Si or Ge.

Abstract: The present invention provides a phosphor of formula A2SiO5:B (A is Y or Gd, and B is Ce or Tb) which is characterized by a surface elemental composition represented by (A+B)/Si ranging from 1.5 to 2.5, wherein A is Y or Gd, and B is Ce or Tb; and method for preparing said phosphor. One embodiment of the method is as follows: a SiO2 powder is mixed with co-precipitate (Y, Ce)2O3 (Ce/Y=0.01), in an amount ranging from 10 to 110 mol % based on the amount of (Y, Ce)2O3, and the mixture is charged into the inner crucible of a double-walled aluminum crucible. After graphite is charged between the inner and outer crucible, the mixture is calcined at 1450° C. for 2 hours to obtain an Y2SiO5:Ce phosphor. The luminous efficiency of a field emission display (FED) prepared employing the Y2SiO5:Ce phosphor was measured at an anode voltage of 600V, an electric power input of 30 Wp-p and a duty rate of 1/240.

Abstract: A method for preparing a gallium nitride phosphor which is capable of emitting light at luminance increased to a degree sufficient to permit the phosphor to be practically used. A dopant compound containing elements reacted with H2 and gasified by heating is arranged on an upstream side in a calcination oven in which NH3 is flowed and a matrix element compound is arranged on the downstream side therein, resulting in calcination of the compound being carried out. This permits GaN to be surrounded with ammonia and the dopant during the calcination, so that the GaN phosphor may be fully doped with the dopant.
