  • Publication number: 20150007889
    Abstract: A solar cell module includes a solar cell element, a protective member disposed at one side in a thickness direction of the solar cell element, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer interposed between the solar cell element and the protective member and attached to the protective member, and a support layer formed on the other surface in the thickness direction of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and having an elastic modulus at 25° C. measured in a tensile test of 1 MPa to 9×103 MPa.

  • Patent number: 6860922
    Abstract: The present invention provides a gas-permeable hollow fiber membrane having an inner diameter of 50 to 500 ?m and a membrane thickness of 10 to 150 ?m, which is preferably a composite hollow fiber membrane having a three-layer structure consisting of a nonporous layer having porous layers disposed on both sides thereof. Dissolved gases present in an ink can be removed by passing the ink through the bores of hollow fibers comprising such a hollow fiber membrane, and evacuating the outer surface side of the hollow fibers. This method makes it possible not only to degas inks with a slight pressure loss, but also to degas inks stably even if pressure changes occur during degassing.

  • Patent number: 6379796
    Abstract: Disclosed is a composite hollow fiber membrane having a composite structure consisting of a homogeneous thin film interposed between porous substrate layers wherein the ratio of the oxygen permeation flux to the nitrogen permeation flux of the membrane is not less than 1.1 and wherein, after the membrane has been immersed in chemical liquids according to JIS K 7114, the percentage change of the ratio is within ñ10%. This composite hollow fiber membrane can be used to degas chemical liquids without any liquid leakage.
