Abstract: A reverse biasing apparatus is used to remove (10) short-circuited portions in a solar battery module having multiple strings of solar cells each including a first electrode layer, a photovoltaic semiconductor layer and a second electrode layer formed on a glass substrate, by applying a reverse bias voltage between the electrodes of adjacent solar cells. The reverse biasing apparatus comprises probes (15) to be in contact with the electrodes of adjacent three or more strings of solar cells, an actuator for actuating the probes (15) up and down, and a relay switch (17) for selecting, from the probes (15), a pair of probes (15) for applying the reverse bias voltage between the electrodes of an arbitrary pair of adjacent solar cells. The use of the reverse biasing apparatus can ensure an efficient reverse biasing process on a solar battery module (10) having integrated multiple strings of solar cells.

Abstract: A diaphragm pump, which is preferably electrostatically actuated, but which may be activated by other forces such as electromagnetic or piezoelectric actuation. The pump is formed by a pump body having a pump chamber formed therein. First and second diaphragms each having a set of valve holes in the diaphragm surface thereof are mounted in the chamber. Also provided are at least one inlet and at least one outlet port for communication with the pump chamber. The ports are positioned for sealing contact with the diaphragms at points that are not aligned with the holes in the diaphragms. A driver electrostatically actuates the diaphragms to cause diaphragm movement to a plurality of diaphragm positions to control flow of fluid through the pump. The first position is when the diaphragms are spaced from one another and from the ports to permit flow of fluid through the pump chamber. The second position is when the diaphragms are in diaphragm surface contact with the sets of holes mutually nonaligned to form a seal between the diaphragms. The third position is when a diaphragm is in diaphragm surface contact with the ports to form the sealing contact.

The rotational motion may preferably be provided by the rocking motion of a gear sector. The stratification motion may preferably be provided by the implementation of a spiral groove. The spiral groove preferably shares the same longitudinal axis as the winder. The rotation of the spiral groove preferably creates a relative motion between the groove and the needles, thereby producing the radial stratification motion of the needles. Additionally, the winder includes a motor arrangement which is programmable and controllable. The motor arrangement may also provide a dampening effect to limit unwanted stratification motion. <IMAGE>
