Abstract: An operating method of a wireless access point includes determining the wireless access point is in a first state or a second state; under a condition that the wireless access point is in the first state, receiving a first linking request packet from a first access point, and selectively building a first wireless distribution system (wireless distribution system) connection with the first access point according to the first linking request packet; and under a condition that the wireless access point is in the second state, providing a second linking request packet to a second access point, so as to allow the second access point to build a second wireless distribution system connection with the second access point according to the second linking request packet.

Abstract: A method for inhibiting light-induced degradation of a photovoltaic device includes steps of: a) subjecting the photovoltaic device to an illumination treatment using a light having a wavelength not less than 300 nm to heat the photovoltaic device in the absence of ambient light; and b) maintaining the temperature of the photovoltaic device above an annealing temperature of the photovoltaic device for at least 0.5 minute. An apparatus for inhibiting light-induced degradation of a photovoltaic device is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention provides a photovoltaic device and method of manufacturing the same. The photovoltaic device of the invention includes a semiconductor structure assembly and a protection layer. The semiconductor structure assembly has a plurality of side surfaces, and includes a p-n junction, an n-p junction, a p-i-n junction, an n-i-p junction, a tandem junction or a multi-junction. In particular, the protection layer is formed to overlay the sides of the semiconductor structure assembly. Thereby, the protection layer can effectively inhibit the potential-induced degradation effect of the photovoltaic device of the invention.
