Abstract: A solar cell has a nanostructured window layer with planar p-n junction geometry. Preferably, metal grid mesas are used to provide lateral conductance and good electrical contacts. In addition to carrier confinement and lateral conductance, this window layer can also provides a broadband angle-independent antireflection function. This structure enhances both the optical and electrical properties in a solar cell, leading to higher Jsc, Voc, FF (fill factor) and efficiency. The absorption in the window layer is partially converted to photocurrent, which to some extent compensates for the self-absorption loss due to its greater thickness. This design can eliminate the need for a separate anti-reflection coating.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for continuously preparing a water-soluble azo dye by coupling a nebulizer with a pipeline. According to the method, the nebulizer is coupled with a pipeline with an interception tower plate, atomized and mixed reaction liquid flow flows through the pipeline with the interception tower plate, and mixing and reacting are further enhanced through turbulent mixing on the tower plate, so that instant separation of reaction heat generated in an atomizing contact reaction from a reactant is achieved, and normal-temperature rapid continuous production of the water-soluble azo dye is achieved. Fog drops which are atomized by using the nebulizer have small particle diameter and large specific surface area, so that a diazo salt and a coupling component are sprayed separately, move face to face and can be fully contacted, and mixing and reacting speeds are increased.

Abstract: Improved solar cells are provided by nano-structuring the solar cell active region to provide high optical absorption in a thin structure, thereby simultaneously providing high optical absorption and high carrier collection efficiency. Double-sided nano-structuring is considered, where both surfaces of the active region are nano-structured. In cases where the active region is disposed on a substrate, nano-voids are present between the substrate and the active region, as opposed to the active region being conformally disposed on the substrate. The presence of such nano-voids advantageously increases both optical and electrical confinement in the active region.

Abstract: In each iteration of the process of mining association rules from transaction data by a cluster of computing systems, each mapper node in the cluster receives a split of the transaction data. Each mapper node scans the split to count an absolute support value of each candidate itemset for current search level(s), and passes the candidate itemsets and their support values to reducer nodes in the cluster. The number of reducer nodes will be determined adaptively based on the number of the candidate itemsets and the number of maximum available resource nodes in the cluster. Each reducer node combines the absolute support value of each candidate itemset, and finds frequent itemsets among them using a minimum support threshold. For each frequent itemset it finds, the reducer node creates association rule(s) satisfying a minimum confidence threshold, and exports all discovered frequent itemsets and association rules to a file system for storage.
