Floor panels which are provided with a mechanical locking system comprising tongue and grooves provided with protrusions and cavities which are displaceable in relation to each other.

The color image sensor generates an image signal representing a subject. The color image sensor has a light sensor and imaging elements arranged to form images of the subject in light of different colors on respective regions of the light sensor. The light sensor includes sensor elements and is operable to generate the image signal in response to light incident on it.

A composite shingle having unitary construction is presented that includes a body shell, a plurality of longitudinal ribs, and a plurality of rib stiffeners. The present composite shingle may also include transverse ribs, a depressed nailing zone, nailing zone ribs, and / or at least one alignment aid. The plurality of rib stiffeners may include a material saving profile. Further, the dimensions of the composite shingle more closely resemble true slate and shake shingles and at least a portion of the outside face of composite shingle may be textured to resemble slate or wood shake shingles.A plurality of assembled composite shingles of the present invention is also claimed as part of this invention. Finally, a method of applying multiple courses of shingles on a roof including the composite shingle of the present invention is presented.

A technique of ensuring compatibility between the method of improving the light extraction efficiency by roughening the surface of a LED structure, and the method of avoiding the adverse effect of a low-cost electrode pad ((1) forming a current distribution layer by a transparent conductive film made of metal or metal oxide, and (2) forming a flip chip structure). A light emitting diode has at least an n-type semiconducting layer, an active layer composed of 30 or less quantum well layers, and a p-type semiconducting layer provided on a substrate, wherein the surface of the semiconductor lamination structure contains a flat portion and a plurality of bores. In this case, the in-plane coverage rate ((the area of the bore opening / surface area) ×100) of the plurality of the bores is 10% or more without exceeding 85%; the opening of the bore has a diameter of 100 nm or more without exceeding 4000 nm; the depth of the bore is smaller than the distance between the active layer and the flat portion; and the density of the plurality of the bores expressed in terms of number of bores is 8 ×105 per / cm2 or more without exceeding 1.08×1010 per / cm2.

A manufacturing technology is provided capable of improving the reliability of a semiconductor module having a via contact connected to an electrode part of a semiconductor component. The semiconductor module includes: a semiconductor component provided with an electrode part on a mounting surface; an insulating layer provided on the mounting surface of the semiconductor component; a wiring layer formed on the insulating layer; a first conductor part which is embedded in the insulating layer and which is in contact with the electrode part; and a second conductor part which is formed in an aperture provided in the insulating layer above the first conductor part and which electrically connects the first conductor part and the wiring layer.

The invention provides a movable contact for a two-step push-on switch which can realize an excellent sense and a long life period while decreasing the width, even on a flat stationary-contact forming surface of a printed circuit board, a flexible printed circuit board or the like, and also a two-step push-on switch.A movable contact has: a rectangular annular peripheral plate portion 2; an oval center plate portion 3 which is upward inflatingly curved; and a pair of connecting plate portions 4, 4 which connect an inner edge of the peripheral plate portion 2 to an outer edge of said center plate portion 3 on a center line X which is parallel to long side portions 2a, 2a of said peripheral plate portion 2. The movable contact is disposed on a flat stationary-contact forming surface of a printed circuit board, a flexible printed circuit board, or the like, and an adhesive tape 9 for fixing the movable contact is bonded from a side of the upper face, thereby configuring a push-on switch.

The invention is directed to a medical device, particularly a penile prosthesis, that includes an implantable element and a reservoir. The implantable element is configured to be implanted within the pelvic region of a patient and is designed to be capable of inflation and deflation via fluid transfer to and from the element. The reservoir is coupled to the implantable element. The fluid is drawn from the reservoir for inflation of the implantable element and returned to the reservoir for the deflation. The reservoir is approximately one inch or less in depth. The minimal depth enables the fluid reservoir to be placed in front of the puborectalis muscle and behind the abdominal fascia without being seen on an external view of the patient.

A wafer grinding method is disclosed, in which only a region, corresponding to a device formation region, of the back side of a wafer is ground in rough grinding conducted first, while the part surrounding the region thus ground is left unground as an annular projected part, to prevent the outer peripheral edge of the wafer from becoming knife edge-like in shape. In the subsequent finish grinding, the annular projected part is ground and, further, the whole area of the back side of the wafer is ground to be flat. Chippings of the outer peripheral edge may be generated only during the finish grinding, whereby the chippings are prevented from occurring or limited to minute ones.

A vehicle display apparatus includes a first partition member and a second partition member disposed in front of a display screen of a display panel. Each of the first and second partition members includes a window portion. The first and second partition members may be set in separated positions or in overlapping positions. In the separated positions, the first and second partition members are spaced apart from each other along the display screen. In the overlapping positions, the first partition member is separated forward from the display screen, the second partition member is located between the first partition member and the display screen, and the window portions of the first and second partition members overlap.

A tool is described comprising a shaft having a first longitudinal axis and a front segment, wherein the front segment has a cross-sectional area, wherein the front segment is configured to engage at least a portion of a screw head, and wherein the front segment has at least a first recess having a second longitudinal axis substantially transverse to the first longitudinal axis; at least one spring element housed in the first recess, wherein a first portion of the spring element at least partially protrudes transversely across the first longitudinal axis; wherein the cross-sectional area is substantially polygonal, having a least one radii; wherein the second longitudinal axis is substantially aligned with at least one radii; and wherein the portion of the spring element protruding transversely across the first longitudinal axis is elastically deformable.
