Power transistor(and other power devices) must dissipate a large amount of internally generated heat. For BJT ppwer transistors, the collector terminal is the critical junction; for this reason, the transistor's case is alwasy connected to to the collector terminal. The case of all power transistors is designed to provide a large contact area between it and an external heat sink. Heat from the transistor flows through the the case to the heat sink and then dissipates in the surrounding air. Heat sinks vary in size, number of fins, and type of material. Their size depends on thhhhe heat dissipation requirement and the maximum ambient temperature in which the transistor is to operate. In high-power applications (a few hundred watts), a cooling may be necessary.(p.428)

#9 Japanese Efforts to overcome difficulties for using in English

  English is the most general language for the internation language. All the world deny that fact. Japan realized needs of studying English, belatedly. So they have a plan to use official language in English. Because they want to promote globalization. And then they are planning to extend its business abroad. The major companies of Japan have also policy to use office language in English.
  But their English pronunciation is extremely terrible. Most of Japanese can't communicate with native-English speaker. If they'd like to use Englifh for only economic purposes, they wouldn't be necessary. Their business has been already thriving. They don't need to invest in English.  Do you know that Japanese use the third English? They have their own English. But native-English speakers can't understand their saying. It doesn't look like both Japanese and an Enlgish. It means they create another language. Even though they feel about necessary of using English, they wouldn't  use properly.
