摘要:
An apparatus extracts an area having a highest score or a lowest score that is calculated based on evaluation values of points from a target area including a set of a plurality of points that can be distributed at two-dimensional coordinates. It determines whether the area extracted and an area overlapping a plurality of the target areas intersect with each other, and deletes an area having a lower score or a higher score out of the areas determined to intersect with each other. It selects an area having a highest score or a lowest score out of the areas extracted at the extracting and not deleted at the determining. One or a plurality of areas are generated as the target areas based on an area acquired by excluding the area selected from the target area and an area acquired by excluding the area deleted at the determining.

A trajectory interpolation apparatus is disclosed. The first storage part stores first time and first location information of a movable body at the first time. The second storage stores second time and second location information of the movable body at the second time. The calculation part calculates a first moving distance from the first time and a second moving distance from the second time based on a relationship between the time and the speed stored in the second storage part, regarding third time between the first time and the second time. The determination part determines, as the interpolation point, one of intersection points for a circle in which the first location is set as its center and the first moving distance is set as its radius, and another circle in which the second location is set as its center and the second moving distance is set as its radius.

A data partitioning apparatus receives stream data and stores with previous-and-subsequent information that specifies data previous and subsequent to the data. Then, for groups, each of which contains the data that are stored and that are partitioned into the number of the groups, the data partitioning apparatus stores top information specifying data located at the top in a corresponding group and end information specifying data located at the end in the corresponding group. Then, when new data is stored, the data partitioning apparatus specifies data previous and subsequent to the new data and stores the new data by associating it with the previous-and-subsequent information that specifies the data previous and subsequent to the new data. Then, when data is inserted, the data partitioning apparatus updates information for each group such that the difference between the number of data belonging to each group is equal to or less than one.

A chassis braking system for braking a chassis includes a braking unit including a braking surface biased toward a road surface on which the chassis runs and having a first state where movement of the braking surface toward the road surface is locked and a second state where the braking surface abuts against the road surface. A control unit releases the lock of the braking unit and shifts the braking unit from the first state to the second state when predetermined conditions are met.

A method for producing a thin film solar cell includes preparing a substrate of a low purity material and having opposed front and rear surfaces; forming an insulating film on the front surface of the substrate; forming a second conductivity type active layer of a high purity material on the insulating film with a front surface exposed; forming a second conductivity type semiconductor region within the active layer, reaching the front surface, to produce a p-n junction for light-to-electricity conversion; forming an anti-reflection film on the front surface of the active layer, the anti-reflection film reducing reflection of incident light; forming a surface electrode in contact with the front surface of the active layer; adhering the front surface side of the active layer to a supporting plate and selectively etching the low purity substrate from the rear surface to form a supporting substrate supporting the active layer; and forming a rear electrode on the rear surface of the supporting substrate contacting the active layer.
摘要:
In a method of producing a solar cell, a photovoltaic thin semiconductor crystalline film is formed on an underlying substrate and hydrogen passivated throughout the film thickness direction of the photovoltaic film whereby a high efficiency solar cell is obtained. In addition, since the passivation process is performed before forming a rear surface electrode on the thin semiconductor crystalline film, the passivation process is not limited by the rear surface electrode. Thereby, a solar cell having a higher energy conversion efficiency is obtained. The passivation process is performed by exposing the thin semiconductor crystalline film to a hydrogen ion ambient having a low acceleration energy, below 2 KeV, or to a plasma ambient. Therefore, the uniformity of the passivation process at a wafer surface is improved and a large area wafer can be efficient processed. Furthermore, the passivation process can be performed to a plurality of solar cells having the thin semiconductor crystalline films and arranged in a module.

A method for producing a thin-film solar cell having a thin-film active layer on a graphite sheet substrate includes the steps of adhering two sheets of graphite together, forming semiconductor thin films serving as active layers on second main surfaces of the two sheets of graphite, and separating the two sheets of graphite from each other. In this structure, stress caused by a difference in expansion coefficients between the upper sheet and the semiconductor thin film is cancelled by stress caused by a difference in expansion coefficients between the lower sheet and the semiconductor thin film. Therefore, curvature of the substrates is prevented whereby subsequent process steps are easily carried out. In addition, the number of products per unit time is doubled, thereby increasing productivity.
