Filed: 1999-11-09
Abstract: Disclosed are a layer structure of semiconductors, a layer-shaped semiconductor crystal and a light-emitting semiconductor component (LED or laser diode). One or several semiconductor layers on the basis of group III nitride compounds having a hexagonal structure are oriented in such a way that the c-axes of the hexagonal structure extend in parallel in relation to the respective substrate surface or layer level. The disadvantages of conventional semiconductor components with regard to illuminating efficiency, wavelength stability and reproducibility of emission characteristics are overcome by said layer orientation.

Abstract: Reduction lens (20) is arranged between imaging lens (11) and film (16) with its optical axis coaxial to optical axis of imaging lens. Flat divider mirror (21) separates light from reduction lens, from optical beam path to film. Reduction lens brings level (F) equivalent to film level, nearer to imaging lens so area, from which light from focus detection unit (30) is taken, is enlarged without increase in size of optical elements.     Reduction lens (20) is arranged between imaging lens (11) and film (16) with its optical axis coaxial to optical axis of imaging lens. Flat divider mirror (21) separates light, accessing from reduction lens, from the optical beam path to the film. Reduction lens bring level (F) equivalent to film level, nearer to the imaging lens so the area, from which light from the focusing detection unit (30) is taken, is enlarged without increase in size of the unit optical elements.   Reduction lens has positive converging power so that exit pupil of imaging lens (11) is optically conjugated to inlet pupil of divider lenses (32,33) so lenses 932,33) provide secondary images on flat sensors (35,36). Flat sensors output to microcomputer (38) which determines focus detection of imaging lens (11) with respect to object and then controls focus mechanism (39) to adjust lenses of imaging optics (11).

Abstract: An integrated-gas turbine (17) and air separation process (67) and system having an air
separation unit (67) integrated with a gas turbine-driven air compression system (3,17) which
operates using fuel (9) as the primary energy source. Feed air for the air separation unit (67) is
provided by two separate compressors (3,35) driven by the gas turbine expander (17) wherein one
compressor (3) provides air to the air separation unit (67) and to the gas turbine combustor (7), and
the other compressor (35) provides feed air to the air separation unit (67). The ability to control
an integrated air separation/gas turbine process during off-design or turndown conditions
is improved by the use of two air compressors (3,35) in the present invention compared with
the usual single compressor gas turbine system. In the design of the integrated gas
turbine and air separation system (67), the power requirement for a given air compression
duty can be matched more readily to the power output of an available expansion turbine
when two air compressors (3,35) are used rather than a single air compressor.

Abstract: An information processing device creates a dirty bit
indicative of an update state for each combination of
sharing bags between parties. A database processing
section updates the dirty bit of a tip by monitoring any
modification to the tip during a non-synchronous period.
A synchronous process is carried out between two
information processing devices, in which whether it is
required to transfer the tip and transfer direction are
decided after transfer of the dirty bit. Further, the
dirty bit which relates to the synchronous process is
updated and the update is transferred to the other dirty
bit which corresponds to the tip. As a result, it is
possible to reduce communication data volume and to find
a coincidence in tips between three or more information
processing devices, thereby realizing a database managing
device which can reduce communication data volume in the
synchronous process in a database system in which
associating data can be independently updated by a
plurality of devices.

Abstract: A thermistor (TM) is used for detecting ambient temperature of the EL element. One end of the thermistor (TM) is connected to a pull-up resistor (R3) that is connected to a power source Vcc of 5V, while the other end is connected to ground. A voltage derived from a node between the resistor (R3) and the thermistor (TM) is applied to an A/C input port of a microcomputer (MC). The temperature detecting means is not limited to the thermistor (TM), as matter of course. The microcomputer (MC) computes a temperature by using data representative of relationships between output signals of the thermistor (TM) and temperatures, prepared in advance. And it determines an application voltage to the EL element while referring to a data table, which is stored in the computer per se and contains relationships between temperatures and application voltages, stored in the computer.  <IMAGE>
