  • Patent number: 8852995
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a preparation method for patternization of metal electrodes in silicon solar cells. After disposing an amorphous silicon layer on a silicon substrate processed by diffusion, laser light is projected on the amorphous silicon layer for patternization, and transforming the amorphous silicon with low optical conductivity into polysilicon with high optical conductivity thanks to the recrystallization process of the laser light. Then, after immersing the amorphous silicon layer in plating liquid, metal electrode can be formed accurately at the spots of the amorphous silicon layer patterned by laser light. No external voltage is required; plating reaction is induced by illumination directly.

  • Publication number: 20140070614
    Abstract: A household Grid-Connected inverter applied to a solar power generation system with maximum power tracking function includes a solar power module; a MPPT power converter connected to the solar power module; and a DC/AC filter connected to the MPPT power converter. The DC/AC filter can be connected to the household grid in parallel. The solar power module is used to convert and output the solar energy in form of DC voltage. The MPPT power converter converts the DC into a high-frequency current with envelope of the same phase as the household grid, and also maximizes the output power. The DC/AC filter is used to output to the current which has the same phase as the household power and of the wave current form. Thereby, a simplified structure which can increase the device expanding flexibility and provide maximum output performance for solar power generation is achieved with lower cost.

  • Publication number: 20140048134
    Abstract: A concentrator solar receiver with an improved homogenizer is revealed. A homogenizer used in a concentrator solar module is improved. Instead of a smooth flat surface, a bottom surface of the homogenizer can be a positively curved surface, a conic solid, or a truncated tapered structure. Moreover, the bottom surface can be a rough surface. Thus not only the glue-overflow problem occurred during adhesion of the homogenizer to the solar cell can be solved, but also the possibility of air bubbles remaining between the glue and the homogenizer is reduced. Therefore the yield rate of a concentrator solar module is improved and the service life of the concentrator solar module is prolonged.

    Abstract: A process of evaluating blood-brain barrier permeability of a stroke rat by using fluorescent substance is disclosed. This process uses an Evans blue dye having spontaneous fluorescence properties, in combination with the use of a new non-invasive in vivo imaging system (IVIS), to obtain fluorescent signals so as to assess the change in the blood-brain barrier permeability of rodents after a cerebral artery stroke model surgery. In operation, an Evans blue dye is injected into a stroke rat of middle cerebral artery occlusion model. A non-invasive in vivo imaging system is used to detect the fluorescence distribution of the whole brain, and obtain images combined by the fluorescence images and optical images for the whole brain tissue. Thereby, the change in the blood-brain barrier permeability of the stroke rat can be completely realized.
