  • Publication number: 20080087323
    Abstract: A concentrator solar photovoltaic power generating apparatus including a primary optics for concentrating sunlight, a solar cell, a columnar optical member which is vertically disposed above the solar cell so that a bottom end surface of the columnar optical member is opposed to the solar cell, and which is used for guiding the sunlight which is concentrated by the primary optics to the solar cell, a transparent resin member which is interposed between the bottom end surface of the columnar optical member and the solar cell, comprises a shielding member for shielding the transparent resin member from sunlight.

  • Publication number: 20070295384
    Abstract: The present invention provides a light converging-type solar photovoltaic apparatus having: a case having: a bottom member; a peripheral member; and an upper member so as to form a space in the case, the case inclining so as to face the upper member to the sun; a plurality of Fresnel lenses provided at the upper member, the Fresnel lenses converging sun light; a plurality of solar battery cells provided in the case, the solar battery cells each receiving each sun light converged by the Fresnel lenses to generate electric power, the peripheral member having surfaces opposed to each other, the opposed surfaces each having at least one opening portion, and a vent valve provided at each opening portion, the vent valve having a mesh interrupting ventilation upon a water film being formed on the mesh.

  • Publication number: 20050095273
    Abstract: A glove made of synthetic resin has collagen powder homogeneously dispersed and cohered on an inner surface of the glove shell with the outer portion of the collagen powder exposed on and outwardly protruded from the inner surface of the glove shell, thereby maximizing the water absorbing and releasing property of the collagen powder to impart the warm, gentle and comfortable wearing feel as worn by the user's hand and contacted by the user's hand skin, to maintain a proper humidity within the glove, to overcome any cold feeling in the glove interior especially in winter, and also to reduce the production cost of the glove.

  • Patent number: 5934805
    Abstract: The surface of the member to be inspected is covered with powder deposited by using, for example, static electricity prior to the flaw detection. The member surface is covered so as to be partly exposed by setting the average thickness of the powder layer to 0.1D-0.6D, where D is the average particle diameter of the powder, under an assumption that the powder particles in the powder layer are virtually leveled into a uniform thickness film. Subsequently, the surface region of the member is heated by high frequency induction heating, and then the temperature distribution on the surface is measured with a radiation thermometer. The part for which the temperature measured is different from the surroundings is judged as a flaw. The surface of the member is covered with the powder so that the surface emissivity becomes almost uniform, and the resulting temperature distribution measured with the radiation thermometer becomes almost equal to the real one.
