Abstract: To provide a sealing material sheet for a solar-cell module that has high productivity, and can also suppress unevenness in thickness at the time of integration as a solar-cell module. There is provided a sealing material sheet 1 in which there are two inflection point temperatures that are temperatures only around which a change rate of the linear expansion coefficient locally increases, a first inflection point temperature at a low temperature side of two inflection point temperatures is within a range of 55° C. to 70° C., and a second inflection point at a high temperature side of the inflection point temperatures is within a range of 80° C. to 95° C.

Abstract: A search apparatus includes: an array index storage in which an array index having attribute position information for specifying a position at which an attribute value is located is stored for each of one or more records out of records and for each of one or more attributes of each record; a condition accepting unit that accepts a search condition including an attribute identifier corresponding to an attribute value; a search unit that retrieves attribute position information corresponding to the attribute identifier included in the search condition, from the array index, and retrieves an attribute value corresponding to the attribute identifier included in the search condition, using the attribute position information, from a data source storage in which a data source including two or more records having two or more attribute values is stored; and a result output unit that outputs a search result including the attribute value.

Abstract: A data retrieval apparatus includes a processor, and a memory. The memory stores a virtual database that analyzes a retrieval request input from a user terminal to generate a retrieval instruction, executes the generated retrieval instruction in the database to acquire two or more retrieved data, and integrates the acquired two or more retrieved data to prepare a retrieval result responding to the retrieval request.
