  • Patent number: 7943849
    Abstract: Provided is a photoelectric conversion device capable of improving a conversion efficiency. In a dye-sensitized photoelectric conversion device including a working electrode and a facing electrode, and an electrolyte inclusion, a dye is carried on a metal-oxide semiconductor layer of the working electrode. The dye includes cyanine dye having a benzyl group and an indolenine skeleton. Therefore, crystallization of the dye on the surface of the metal-oxide semiconductor layer is suppressed.

  • Publication number: 20080078438
    Abstract: Provided is a photoelectric conversion device having a simple structure including a plurality of end-face incident type photoelectric conversion cells. A plurality of dye-sensitized unit cells are disposed on folded faces of the metal sheet that is in a folded form. In these unit cells, a light which comes from a lateral end face of a stacked structure of each unit cell is photoelectrically converted. The manufacturing process of a soar cell is simplified in comparison with the case that a plurality of end-face incident type photoelectric conversion cells are merely placed in a plane.

  • Publication number: 20080037202
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic equipment of a high design property having an optical disc drive mounted thereon and an inexpensive and high-quality opening and closing mechanism for a tray door. The electronic equipment includes a front panel on a front surface of the equipment, and a link 25 rotatably engaged with a tray door 22. The tray door is provided with cams 22b engaged with cam pins 20b provided on the front panel to control the locus of the movement of the tray door. The discharging movement of the tray causes the link to be pushed and rotated by the tray, whereby the tray door is slid to below the tray with its upper design surface left turned upwards in the form of the movement controlled by the rotation of the link and the locus of the cams, and in this manner, the tray door is opened.

  • Publication number: 20070074233
    Abstract: An information reproducing apparatus accepts a recording disc into the apparatus via an ejectable tray for reproducing information. An inclined face, which is inclined downward, is formed before a disc recording/reproducing unit having the ejectable tray. On this inclined face, a door is provided that configures the inclined face when the door is closed and that forms a movement path of the tray by lowering a back part of the inclined face inward when the door is opened.

  • Patent number: 7038217
    Abstract: Here is disclosed a method for generation of a molecular beam from a sample solution, comprising steps of operating a spray-in device to introduce the sample solution in atomized state into a spray chamber, impinging a suitable gas on the sample solution in atomized state or heating the sample solution in atomized state to generate solute molecules deprived of solvent molecules, and then ejecting these solute molecules through an orifice into a low air pressure chamber. The apparatus as well as the method according to the present invention enable to generate a molecular beam for a variety of molecules, particularly for the neutral molecules which can be decomposed by heating at a high temperature or those which can not be sublimated or vaporized even by heating at a high temperature, as long as the sample solutions are prepared.
