  • Publication number: 20240082959
    Abstract: A laser processing apparatus includes a support unit that supports a wafer including a plurality of functional elements disposed adjacent to each other via a street, an irradiation unit that irradiates the street with laser light, and a control unit that controls the irradiation unit based on information about the streets so that a first region and a second region of the street are simultaneously irradiated with the laser light, and a power of the laser light for removing a surface layer of the street in the first region is higher than a power for removing the surface layer of the street in the first region. The information about the street includes information that a processing threshold value indicating a difficulty of laser processing in the first region is lower than a processing threshold value in the second region.

  • Patent number: 11478964
    Abstract: A mold, system and method for manufacturing a part includes injection molding a substrate in a single injection mold and optionally trimming the panel substrate. The substrate can have a first configuration or a second, different configuration. Trimming of the substrate can occur when the substrate has the first configuration to define an aperture in the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20190181291
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a solar cell, including: a step for irradiating a semiconductor substrate to cause the surface to become amorphous and to form an intrinsic amorphous layer, a first conductivity-type layer, and a second conductivity-type layer; and a step for introducing hydrogen into the intrinsic amorphous layer, the first conductivity-type layer, and the second conductivity-type layer.

  • Publication number: 20170290773
    Abstract: The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the instillation of lipid vehicles comprised of liposomes containing sphingomyelin or sphingomyelin metabolites to prevent, manage, ameliorate and/or treat disorders involving neuropathic pain and aberrant muscle contractions, such as what occurs in bladder hyperactivity disorders such as interstitial cystitis (IC) in animals or humans in need thereof. Also provided is a liposome-based delivery of drugs, e.g., antibiotics, pain treatments and anticancer agents, to the bladder, genitourinary tract, gastrointestinal system, pulmonary system and other organs or body systems. In particular, liposome-based delivery of vanilloid compounds, such as resiniferatoxin, capsaicin, or tinyatoxin and toxins, such as botulinum toxin is provided for the treatment of bladder conditions, including pain, inflammation, incontinence and voiding dysfunction.

  • Patent number: 8835210
    Abstract: The present invention reduces the time required to manufacture a solar cell. After etching main surfaces (10B1, 10B2) of a crystalline silicon substrate (10B) using one etching solution, the main surfaces (10B1, 10B2) of the crystalline silicon substrate (10B) are etched at a lower etching rate than the etching performed using the one etching solution by using another etching solution that has a higher concentration of etching components than the one etching solution. In this way, a textured structure is formed in the main surfaces (10B1, 10B2) of the crystalline silicon substrate (10B).
