The conveyor may include a conveyor mechanism and a drive unit configured to drive the conveyor mechanism. The recovery apparatus may comprise a recovery unit disposed at a position where the conveyor mechanism is not disposed and configured to recover the material in the saggar; a transport device configured to transport the saggar between a placement position on the conveyor mechanism and a recovery position above the recovery unit; and an inversion mechanism configured to invert the saggar at the recovery position.

Abstract: A heat treatment system may include a heat treatment furnace configured to heat treat a material in a saggar, the saggar including a saggar body and a lid; a lid removing device configured to remove the lid from the saggar; a body conveyor configured to convey the saggar body; a lid conveyor configured to convey the lid; a recovery device configured to recover the material from the saggar body; a supply device configured to supply a non-heat-treated material to the saggar body; and a lid attaching device configured to attach the lid to the saggar body. A conveying time for the lid to be conveyed from an entrance to an exit of a conveying path of the lid conveyor may be shorter than a conveying time for the saggar body to be conveyed from an entrance to an exit of a conveying path of the body conveyor.

Abstract: A battery clamp includes a front locking part configured to lock a front face bottom flange formed on a bottom of a front face of a battery. During normal operations, a front pressing portion of the front locking part is in contact with a top face of the front face bottom flange. In a rear crash, upon receiving an upward force from the front face bottom flange, the front locking part moves upward and is tilted rearward to bring a front facing portion into contact with the front face of the battery. Not only the front pressing portion but also the front facing portion holds the battery, so that holding power can be enhanced.

Abstract: A mounting portion of a battery is provided with a bracket that is placed to face a front face of the battery. A wire harness is placed forward of the battery in a vehicle and is displaced to one side of the bracket in a vehicle width direction, and a terminal that is connected to the wire harness is connected to an electrode. A guiding portion extends from an upper end portion of the bracket to a side portion of the bracket on one side in the vehicle width direction, and the wire harness can be slid along the guiding portion when the wire harness contacts the guiding portion from above. Accordingly, the wire harness is guided by the guiding portion to a position in a routed state in the vehicle width direction.

Abstract: On a p-type conductive light absorption layer provided by a chalcopyrite structure compound that is layered bridging a pair of backside electrode layers provided on a side of a glass substrate, a light-transmissive n-type buffer layer that forms a p-n junction with the light absorption layer is layered. A light-transmissive transparent electrode layer is layered on the buffer layer to extend from a side of the light absorption layer and the buffer layer to one of the pair of backside electrode layers. The transparent electrode layer is formed in an amorphous film containing indium oxide and zinc oxide as primary components, the transparent electrode layer exhibiting a film stress of ±1×109 Pa or less. A photovoltaic element can be favorably processed without causing cracking and damage even by an easily processable mechanical scribing, so that productivity can be enhanced and yield rate can be improved.
