20090039380	PACKAGE AND SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A package has a base substrate that is a metal plate electrically connected to one electrode of a UV-ray light emitting diode and a cover substrate that is a metal plate electrically connected to the other electrode and that is stacked on the base substrate. A plurality of packages are mounted on a header such that center lines of the base substrates extending in their widthwise directions are aligned to each other. The cover substrates are arranged asymmetrical with respect to the longitudinal center line of the base substrates so as to traverse the center line. When mounted on the header, the packages are arranged such that positions of the cover substrates are staggered with respect to the center line. Moreover, the base substrate of one of the adjacent packages and the cover substrate of the other adjacent package are connected together by a connection plate fastened to the base substrates and the cover substrate by connection screws.	02-12-2009
20090039502	HEATSINK AND SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE WITH HEATSINK - A heatsink carries a UV-ray light emitting diode. Flow passages for causing circulation of a fluid that cools the UV-ray light emitting diode are opened in the heatsink. Supply ports and discharge ports are opened in a mount surface of a header where supply and discharge of the fluid for cooling purpose to and from the heatsink are performed. A pair of circulation orifices corresponding to the supply port and the discharge port are opened in the contact surface that contacts the mount surface in the heatsink. Recesses are formed around the respective circulation orifices, and an annular sealing member that exhibits rubber elasticity and that is compressed between the heatsink and the header is disposed in each of the recesses.	02-12-2009

20080264079	Operation unit for vehicle air conditioner and vehicle air-conditioning control apparatus using the same - An operation unit for a vehicle air conditioner includes a display device, a setting input portion of a control parameter of the air conditioner other than a set temperature, an obtaining portion configured to obtain a present set value of the control parameter, and an operating state identification portion configured to identify whether an air-conditioning operating state is in a plurality of predetermined operating states of the air conditioner. In the operation unit, a moving pattern of a pointer of the display device is changed according to the operating state of the air conditioner. For example, a pointer operation control portion can be configured to control an operation of a pointer driving motor such that the pointer moves on a dial of the display device at different moving speeds according to the air-conditioning operating state.	10-30-2008
