Abstract: A communication device includes a communicator that is mounted in a mobile body and functions as a wireless access point, a power supplier configured to supply electric power at least to a driver that causes the mobile body to travel, a detector configured to detect the electric energy of the power supplier, and a controller configured to control at least one of communication strength and communication quality of the communicator based on the electric energy detected by the detector.

Abstract: A communication device includes a communicator controller. The communication controller configured to cause a communicator to communicate with a terminal device in a first mode or a second mode, in which the first mode is a mode in which communication conditions are better than in the second mode, and, when the communication controller has acquired permission information indicating that communication in the first mode is permitted according to completion of processing of a first procedure different from a second procedure required for communication in the second mode in response to a request from the terminal device, the communication controller causes the communicator to communicate with a terminal device associated with the permission information in the first mode.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a concentrator photovoltaic module including: power generating elements whereon sunlight is concentrated by condenser lenses; and a housing accommodating the power generating elements. The housing includes a resin frame body, a metal bottom plate closing a bottom-side opening of the frame body and an inner surface wherein power generating elements are disposed. The method includes: a peripheral edge of the inner surface of the bottom plate connected to a bottom end surface of the frame body, fixing the bottom plate to the frame body creating the housing; and fixing the housing to a transport jig for transporting the housing horizontally. The transport jig includes a support portion corresponding to the bottom end surface of the frame body, and supports the housing. The housing is fixed to the transport jig, with the support portion attached to a peripheral edge of an outer surface of the bottom plate.

Abstract: A bent portion is bent to rise from each of four sides of a quadrangular shape of a main plate toward a first surface. The main plate is provided with a plurality of transmission holes that pass through from the first surface to a second surface, solar rays being transmitted through the plurality of transmission holes toward a plurality of power generation elements. The main plate is provided with a first insertion hole that passes through from the first surface to the second surface, the first insertion hole being larger in dimension than the plurality of transmission holes.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a solar photovoltaic power generation apparatus includes: forming a solar cell array by attaching a plurality of solar cell modules to a fixing member; and attaching the solar cell array to a support arm.

Abstract: A housing unit including a first opening, an internal space in communication with the first opening, a through hole that allows communication from the outside to the internal space, and a porous membrane that covers the first through hole is prepared. A pressure in the internal space is measured while the first porous membrane covers the first through hole and the first opening in the housing unit is closed.

Abstract: A concentrator photovoltaic apparatus includes a concentrator photovoltaic panel and a power-purpose wire harness. The power-purpose wire harness is connected to the concentrator photovoltaic panel. The power-purpose wire harness includes a plurality of power cables through which electric power generated by the concentrator photovoltaic panel can be taken out and a power-purpose insulating tube that ties the plurality of power cables in bundle.

Abstract: An KIOSK terminal 1 capable of transitioning to a power save mode for setting at least one connected target device in a power save status, includes: a first detecting unit 31 capable of detecting a first input during a period for which at least the KIOSK terminal 1 is in the power save mode; a second detecting unit 32 capable of detecting a second input different from the first input, and a mode control unit 33 to finish the power save mode of the KIOSK terminal 1 by making the target device transition to a normal operation status from the power save status, wherein the mode control unit 33, after the first detecting unit 31 has detected the first input and if the second detecting unit 32 detects the second input, finishes the power save mode of the KIOSK terminal 1.
