Abstract:
A light emitting diode (LED) having a p-type layer having a thickness of 100 nm or less, an n-type layer, and an active layer, positioned between the p-type layer and the n-type layer, for emitting light, wherein the LED does not include a separate electron blocking layer.
Abstract:
A method for photoelectrochemical (PEC) etching of a p-type semiconductor layer simply and efficiently, by providing a driving force for holes to move towards a surface of a p-type cap layer to be etched, wherein the p-type cap layer is on a heterostructure and the heterostructure provides the driving force from an internal bias generated internally in the heterostructure; generating electron-hole pairs in a separate area of the heterostructure than the surface to be etched; and using an etchant solution to etch the surface of the p-type layer.
Abstract:
The present invention provides means for effectively reducing the amount of data by means of de-duplication in a disk array apparatus having a data guarantee code. A control means for the disk array apparatus that adds a data guarantee code to each logical data block and checks the data guarantee code when reading data has a de-duplication performing function and control means for: generating LA substitution information for a function checking the data guarantee code or read data location address substitution information when performing the de-duplication and storing data; performing the de-duplication using the above-mentioned information when reading data; and thereby avoiding false diagnosis of the data guarantee code check.
Abstract:
A purpose of the invention is to immediately return the operation in a flash memory module from low power consumption mode to regular mode. A flash memory controller having memory that stores an address translation table for translating between a logical page address and a physical page address in the flash memory chip controls regular mode and low power consumption mode of operating at lower power consumption than in regular mode by halting operation, or decreasing power supply voltage or lowering operating frequency. A flash memory module having the flash memory controller verifies data in the address translation table while low power consumption mode is set.

Abstract:
The present invention obtains with high precision, in a storage system, the effect of additional installation or removal of cache memory, that is, the change of the cache hit rate and the performance of the storage system at that time. For achieving this, when executing normal cache control in the operational environment of the storage system, the cache hit rate when the cache memory capacity has changed is also obtained. Furthermore, with reference to the obtained cache hit rate, the peak performance of the storage system is obtained. Furthermore, with reference to the target performance, the cache memory and the number of disks and other resources that are additionally required are obtained.
Abstract:
An increase in the Indium (In) content in light-emitting layers of light-emitting diode (LED) structures prepared on nonpolar III-nitride substrates result in higher polarization ratios for light emission than LED structures containing lesser In content. Polarization ratios should be higher than 0.7 at wavelengths longer than 470 nm.
Abstract:
A method to suppress thermal conductivities of nitride films by using stacking faults and/or nano-scale In-composition fluctuation(s). Therefore, the present invention reduces thermal conductivity of nitride while keeping electrical conductivity high. In addition, In composition fluctuations can enhance the Seebeck coefficient through thermionic emission. The present invention further discloses a nitride based (e.g. GaN) thermoelectric lateral device with a short length.
