A light emitting device includes a nitride semiconductor light emitting element provided with a group III nitride semiconductor laminating structure and a laser. The group III nitride semiconductor laminating structure has a non-polar plane or a semi-polar plane as a principal plane for crystal growth and includes a multiple-quantum well layer having a quantum well layer as an emission layer containing In and a barrier layer having a wider band gap than that of the quantum well layer. The laser generates induced emission light having a wavelength shorter than an emission wavelength of the quantum well layer and optically excites the quantum well layer in the nitride semiconductor light emitting element with the induced emission light.

A semiconductor apparatus includes a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type, a base region of a second conductivity type formed on a principal surface of the semiconductor substrate, a trench formed in a periphery of the base region, and an endless source region of the first conductivity type formed on a surface of the base region along the trench. In this semiconductor apparatus, the principal planes on side surfaces of the trench are composed of planes [100] and [110]. The interior angle of intersection of adjacent side surfaces of the trench is 135°. A minimum distance between the base region and the plane [110] facing each other through the source region is shorter than a minimum distance between the base region and the plane [100] facing each other through the source region.

Floorboards with substantially planar and parallel upper top sides and lower undersides and panel material located between the upper and lower top sides, and a mechanical locking system for locking a first edge of a first floor board to a second edge of a substantially identical second floor board, the mechanical locking system including a tongue and groove forming a first mechanical connection locking the first and second edges to each other in a first direction at right angles to a principal plane of the floor boards, and a locking device forming a second mechanical connection locking the first and the second edges to each other in a second direction and at right angles to the edges; wherein, when the first edge and the second edge are locked together, there is space in the locking system between the first and the second edges.

A locking system for mechanical joining of floorboards. For horizontal mechanical joining there is a projecting portion with a locking element which cooperates with a locking groove in an adjacent board. A tongue-and-groove joint for vertical mechanical joining has cooperating upper abutment surfaces and cooperating lower abutment surfaces which are essentially parallel with the principal plane of the floorboards and of which the lower abutment surfaces are positioned essentially outside the outer vertical plane, i.e. displaced relative to the upper abutment surfaces. The tongue is movable at an angle into the groove and the locking element is insertable into the locking groove by mutual angular movement of the boards about the joint edges.

A light-directing lensing member for off-axial preferential-side distribution of light from a light emitter having an emitter axis, including a base end with a perimeter-loop line defining a main plane transverse the emitter axis, and an outer surface configured for refracting light from the emitter in a predominantly off-axis direction toward the preferential side. The outer surface includes a major lens-portion and an axially-located minor lens-portion. The major lens portion outer surface has a front region centered on the front side, a back region centered on the back side, and a middle region around the emitter axis and contiguous with the front and back regions. The minor lens-portion has a surrounding-loop surface extending from the middle region transverse the main plane and terminating at an end surface configured to direct substantially axially-parallel light from the emitter in off-axis direction toward the preferential side.

Method for creating a final real-time photorealistic image of a virtual object, corresponding to a real object arranged on an original photo of a user, in a realistic orientation related to the user's position, includes: detecting the presence of an area for the object in the photo; determining the position of characteristic points of the area for the object in the photo; determining the 3D orientation of the face, the angles Φ and Ψ of the camera having taken the photo relative to the principal plane of the area; selecting the texture to be used for the virtual object, in accordance with the angle-of-view, and generating the view of the virtual object in 3D; creating a first layered rendering in the correct position consistent with the position of the placement area for the object in the original photo; obtaining the photorealistic rendering by adding overlays to obtain the final image.

A very thin semiconductor film is used for channels of semiconductor memory elements such that leak currents are reduced by the quantum-mechanical containment effect in the direction of film thickness. The amount of electrical charge accumulated in each charge accumulating region is used to change conductance between a source and a drain region of each read transistor structure. The conductance change is utilized for data storage. The thickness of the channel of the write transistor structure is preferably no more than 5 nm. According to one embodiment, the channel of the write transistor is formed by a semiconductor film deposited on a surface intersecting a principal plane of the substrate.

A main information area 31 capable of recording an information signal and a subsidiary information area 32 for recording subsidiary information that is different from the information signal are divided in one principal plane direction of a substrate, and an information layer for recording the information signal in the main information area 31 is provided also in the subsidiary information area 32, and medium identification information for distinguishing the medium optically is recorded in the information layer of the subsidiary information area 32 without changing the shape of the information layer. As a result, the medium identification information can be recorded in an optical recording medium 1 stably. In particular, the initialization of a phase change type optical recording medium and the recording of the medium identification information can be performed at the same time, so that the production process can be simplified, and the production costs can be reduced.
