  • Patent number: 10411646
    Abstract: A method for inspecting a solar cell and configured to inspect a peeling state of a three-dimensional pattern of the solar cell includes obliquely illuminating the three-dimensional pattern of the solar cell using a light beam. An image of the solar cell is normally captured. An intensity of the light beam is increased to increase a contrast between the three-dimensional pattern and a shadow of the three-dimensional pattern in the image and increase a contrast between an ink pattern of the solar cell and the shadow in the image to overexpose the ink pattern in the image. Determine if the three-dimensional pattern is peeling according to the shadow of the three-dimensional pattern in the image.

  • Patent number: 10156043
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a reusable water writing paper, as well as to its production process and an inkless printing device thereof. The reusable water writing paper is consisted of a substrate as structure-support material, a color-displaying component supported on the substrate, and an optional performance-enhancing additive, wherein the color-displaying component is an oxazoline-based hydrochromic dye, which can change color obviously to display characters and/or patterns after contacting with water, and revert to the initial color to disappear the displayed characters and/or patterns after the water is removed, thereby the water writing paper is reusable. The paper is not only suitable for the exercise of writing or drawing with a brush pen, but also can be used for daily writing with a pen. Furthermore, inkless printing also can be achieved by spraying water.
