Abstract: A solar cell module is described, including a series of solar cells each including a bottom electrode, a photoelectric conversion layer, an insulating pattern, a top electrode layer and a passivation layer. The conversion layer is on the bottom electrode and also on the substrate at a first side of the bottom electrode. The insulating pattern is on the bottom electrode, covering an edge portion of the conversion layer near a second side of the bottom electrode. The top electrode layer is on the conversion layer and adjacent to the insulating pattern. The passivation layer is on the top electrode layer and adjacent to the insulating pattern, wherein the top of the passivation layer on the top electrode layer is lower than the top of the insulating pattern. The bottom electrode of a solar cell is electrically connected with the top electrode layer of an adjacent solar cell.

Abstract: A projective capacitive touch sensor structure includes following elements. Two second transparent patterned electrodes are disposed on a substrate and located at two sides of a first transparent patterned electrode. A bridging wire strides over the first transparent patterned electrode and electrically bridges the second transparent patterned electrodes to form a conducting wire. A transparent dielectric pad is disposed between the bridging wire and the first transparent patterned electrode. A dielectric portion of the transparent dielectric pad located above the first transparent patterned electrode and the second transparent patterned electrodes includes an upper surface, a lower surface and an inclined side surface connecting the upper surface and the lower surface, an area of the upper surface is 70%-95% of an area of the lower surface, and an included angle between the inclined side surface and the lower surface is an acute angle.

Abstract: A conductive film structure capable of resisting moisture and oxygen and an electronic apparatus using the same are provided. The conductive film structure includes a metal electrode, a metal oxide layer, and an insulating layer. The metal oxide layer is disposed on the metal electrode and includes an oxide of the metal electrode. The insulating layer covers the metal oxide layer and has at least one pinhole therein.

Abstract: A rotary cutter includes a rotatable cutter blade and a grinding element supported on a support at one side relative to the cutter blade for grinding the cutter blade. A gap is normally kept between the grinding element and the cutter blade. The support is operable to move the grinding element into friction contact with the rotating cutter blade when grinding is necessary during a cutting operation of the rotary cutter. The grinding element can be normally kept in friction contact with the cutter blade so that a grinding effect is produced when rotating the cutter blade during a cutting operation.

Abstract: An apparatus for sealing a microplate, wherein the apparatus comprises a microplate having a first surface and an opposing second surface. A plurality of wells is formed in the first surface of the microplate, wherein each of the plurality of wells is sized to receive an assay therein. A sealing cover is disposed over the microplate adjacent the plurality of wells and is compliant to accommodate variations between the sealing cover and the microplate and/or distribute loads evenly therebetween.

Abstract: In a high-density sequence detection system, an apparatus for transporting a microplate. A control system provides a thermocycler control signal to regulate a desired thermal output of a thermocycler block. A frame has a first side, a second side, and an opening that extends through the first side and the second side. A window is positioned in the opening and a circumferential seal is positioned around a periphery of the opening at the second side. The seal has a peripheral lip that seals against the microplate. A clamp is adapted to engage and displace the frame from an unclamped position to a clamped position, wherein in the unclamped position, the microplate is displaced away from the thermocycler block and in the clamped position, the clamp urges the microplate against the thermocycler block. In some embodiments the peripheral lip is positioned radially inward of the periphery of the opening.
