  • Method of manufacturing thin-film photovoltaic module
    Patent number: 9431571
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a thin-film photovoltaic module in which a photoelectric conversion element is deposited on a substrate, includes removing the photoelectric conversion element at a frame shape area from sides of the substrate toward inside with a predetermined width by a first removing step of scanning a first photoelectric conversion element removing device at the area along the sides of the substrate to remove the photoelectric conversion element for the predetermined width, and a second removing step of scanning a second photoelectric conversion element removing device within the area along the sides of the substrate to remove the photoelectric conversion element that is not removed in the first removing step at a width narrower than the predetermined width and without superimposing a center line of a scanning path on a center line of a scanning path of the first photoelectric conversion element removing device.

  • Magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus
    Patent number: 7298958
    Abstract: To provide a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus capable of automatically feeding a plurality of visual images by one picture feed operation. By pressing an operation button for picture-by-picture reproduction, a tape feed controller controls a capstan motor to feed a magnetic tape by n pictures specified by a picture feed amount setting means. As a consequence, n pictures are automatically fed by one button operation, always allowing picture-by-picture reproduction only for fixed camera visual images.
