Abstract: According to one embodiment, a solar cell includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a photoelectric conversion layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. In a case where a photoluminescence spectrum of the photoelectric conversion layer is measured at a temperature of 100 K or lower, a first maximum value (A) which is a maximum value of emission intensity in a wavelength range of more than 650 nm and 1000 nm or less is 100 times or less of a second maximum value (B) which is a maximum value of emission intensity in a wavelength range of 600 nm or more and 650 nm or less (A?100B).

Abstract: A controller of a driving device sets a target physical quantity relating to an orientation of a work device, calculates a current physical quantity relating to the actual orientation of the work device, calculates a physical quantity error between the target physical quantity and the current physical quantity, calculates an assistance operation value for assisting operation of an operator, corrects an operator operation value to an operator correction value so as to attain a small value when the physical quantity error is small as compared with when the physical quantity error is large, corrects the assistance operation value to an assistance correction value so as to attain a large value when the physical quantity error is small as compared with when the physical quantity error is large, and controls the orientation of the work device using a total value obtained by adding the operator correction value and the assistance correction value.

Abstract: An opening and closing mechanism includes a fixed member which has a fixed cam on its side face; a movable member which has a movable cam on an opposing face to the fixed cam, and which is rotatably disposed relative to the fixed member; a case housing the fixed member and the movable member; and a spring applying a force toward the fixed member to the movable member. The movable member has a recess at its radial center, and the first end of the spring is inserted in this recess.

Abstract: An electronic component package tape comprising a carrier tape of belt-like form storing electronic components in storage pockets formed into a concaved box shape at predetermined pitches, a cover tape of ribbon-like form bonded to the carrier tape to seal upper openings of the storage pockets, and first protrusions, each having a tip of rounded surface formed on an underside surface of the cover tape facing the electronic components. The storage pockets may be provided with a second protrusion formed in an upwardly protruding manner on a bottom surface thereof. In a method of manufacturing the electronic component package tape, the cover tape is held between a first and a second rotating bodies. Both of the rotating bodies are rotated to form protrusions on the cover tape, which is bonded to an upper surface of the carrier tape in a manner to cover openings of the storage pockets.
