Patent EP-1170596-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MATSUYAMA JINSHO
IPC: H02S50/10
Filed: 2001-07-03
Abstract: For the multi-source method suitable to measure
the photoelectric conversion characteristics of a
stacked solar cell, the light-receiving area of the
solar cell to be measured is limited to the minimal area
of laboratory level, and it is hard to measure a cell,
module, or array having an area more than 400 cm 2 . To
cope with this problem, the irradiance of irradiation
light is measured or adjusted, the current vs. voltage
characteristic of a reference cell is measured, and the
current vs. voltage characteristic of a sample cell is
measured. Next, the current vs. voltage characteristic
of the reference cell in standard test conditions is
compared with the measurement result of the current vs.
voltage characteristic of the reference cell, thereby
obtaining a shift of the measurement result from the
standard test condition on the basis of the shift of the
irradiation light from the standard test condition. On
the basis of the obtained shift of the measurement
result, the measurement result of the current vs.
voltage characteristic of the sample cell is corrected,
and the photoelectric conversion characteristics of the
sample cell are obtained.

Abstract: A laundry machine drum has a sheet material skin including an arrangement of a plurality
of perforations therethrough. Each of one or more of the perforations includes a shear cut
in the sheet material. The sheet is deformed in the region of the shear cut such that the
edge of the sheet material of one side of the shear cut is offset from the edge of the sheet
material of the other side of the shear cut over at least some of the length of the shear cut.
An opening is formed between the offset edges. The apparent area of the opening is greater
when viewed from at least one direction substantially parallel to the general plane of the
drum skin in the region of the perforation than when viewed from a direction substantially
perpendicular to the general plane of the drum skin in the region of the perforation.

Abstract: A progressive display is realized that has an electrode
structure in which two neighboring rows share a display
electrode. A PDP has display electrodes arranged so that two
neighboring rows share one electrode for display, and the
display electrodes cross an address electrode in each column.
A row selection is performed by temporarily biasing one display
electrode Y j  of the electrode pair corresponding to the selected
row to the selecting potential Vy, while addressing is
performed by controlling the potential of the address electrode
A k  in accordance with the display data. At that time, the cell-selecting
voltage Vay that is applied to the interelectrode AY
between the display electrode Y j  and the address electrode A k  is
made lower than the discharge starting voltage V AY  of the
interelectrode AY. A row selection voltage Vxy that is lower
than the discharge starting voltage VXY is applied to the
interelectrode XY between the display electrodes of the
electrode pair corresponding to the selected row, so that an
address discharge is generated.

Abstract: A net database retains, for each user,
information about a portable terminal and user
information including designation of a destination of
electronic mail. A determination module determines
whether the contents of electronic mail received by a
mail server are displayable at the portable terminal of
a destination user. If it is determined that the
contents are displayable, the electronic mail is sent
to the portable terminal of the destination user. If
it is determined that the contents are not displayable,
the determination module determines the destination of
the electronic mail in accordance with the user
information. A conversion module converts the
electronic mail data into a form outputtable at the
destination. The converted data is provided to the
destination apparatus, and a notification representing
this is notified to the portable terminal.

Abstract: A method for detecting loose blades in a hand piece connected to an ultrasonic
surgical system by performing frequency sweeps of a drive signal through a range which includes
the resonance of a hand piece/blade system and the resonance of the hand piece without a blade
attached. The frequencies of resonance in each sweep are compared. If a substantial difference
between the frequency sweeps occurs, then a "Tighten Blade" message is displayed on a liquid
crystal display on an ultrasonic generator console. The method permits rapid and easy diagnosis of
loose blade connections. The method also assists a surgeon or nurse in knowing when to tighten the
blade, as opposed to performing more lengthy and detailed diagnostic or cleaning procedures. In
addition, the time and costs associated with the diagnostic procedures to isolate faults are eliminated
because, upon determining that the blade is not loose, the surgeon and/or nurse can request a new
blade based on the assumption that the blade is broken.

Abstract: A voltage recovery system and its method of operation provides voltage protection to a load connected to a distribution network of a utility power system or network by boosting the voltage on a distribution line, during a momentary voltage sag caused by a fault or other contingency. The method includes voltage protection from a voltage recovery system to a load connected to a distribution network of a utility power network. A voltage protection characteristic required by the load is selected. On the basis of electrical characteristics of the voltage recovery system and the distribution network, a determination is made as to whether the voltage recovery system is capable of providing the required first voltage protection characteristic. Determining whether the voltage recovery system is capable of providing the required voltage protection characteristic includes determining a fault current capability characteristic of the distribution network and the maximum voltage improvement characteristic that the voltage recovery system can provide. If the voltage protection characteristic is greater than the maximum voltage improvement characteristic, the fault current capability characteristic and the maximum voltage improvement characteristic are used to determine an impedance in the form of an inductor to be added to the distribution network.
