Abstract: A method of recycling a solar cell module includes an enclosing layer that encloses a solar cell therein, a light-receiving surface layer laminated on one surface of the enclosing layer, and a back sheet laminated on the other surface of the enclosing layer, the method including: a first removing step of mechanically removing the back sheet; a second removing step of mechanically removing from a side on which the back sheet is removed the entire solar cell and the enclosing layer to such a depth that a part of the enclosing layer having a predetermined thickness remains on the light-receiving surface layer, after the first removing step; and a third removing step of removing the part of the enclosing layer remaining on the light-receiving surface layer by immersion in a solution that causes swelling of the enclosing layer, after the second removing step, thereby improving an overall efficiency.

Abstract: Provided are a relay device where a routing table can be replaced in order to accommodate diverse relay variations and the storage capacity of the routing table can be saved, a communication harness including the relay device and a communication system including the relay device. In the relay device, a routing program for a CPU to execute relay processing and a routing table for identifying the relay destination by the relay processing are stored in an information rewritable flash memory. The routing table includes a first table that manages whether the CAN message is to be relayed or not, a second table storing the received CAN message, a third table storing the CAN message to be transmitted (relayed), a fourth table that manages the signal storage position, and a fifth table that manages the number of effective records in the second to fourth tables.

Abstract: A motor including a magnet, an armature, a common brush, a low-speed drive brush, and a high-speed drive brush is disclosed. The magnet forms four or more magnetic pole portions. The armature includes a rotation shaft, an armature having fourteen teeth, a coil wound around the teeth, and a commutator having fourteen segments arranged in a circumferential direction of the rotation shaft. The common brush, low-speed drive brush, and high-speed drive brush are spaced apart and arranged in the circumferential direction of the rotation shaft and each have a width in the circumferential direction of the rotation shaft. The number of teeth is the same as the number of segments. When P represents the number of magnetic pole portions of the magnet and S represents the number of teeth, (2S/P) is an odd number.

Abstract: A composite pressure pipe which comprises an inner layer (1) made of a synthetic resin, a reinforcing band (2) which is made of a metal and is spirally wound around the outer circumferential surface of the inner layer (1), and an outer layer (3) which is made of a synthetic resin and with which the outer circumferential surface of the reinforcing band is covered. The outer layer (3) has a filling part (21) united therewith which fills the recess (20) formed between each pair of ridge parts (11) and (11) of the reinforcing band (2) which are adjacent to each other in the pipe axis direction.

Abstract: A yoke receives an armature and a cooling fan and has air inlet and outlet openings. A water blocking cover substantially covers the inlet and outlet openings of the yoke. The cover includes an intake duct, an exhaust duct and a partitioning member. The air is drawn from outside of the cover into the air inlet openings through the intake duct upon rotation of the fan. The air is discharged from the air outlet openings to the outside of the water blocking cover through the exhaust duct upon the rotation of the fan. The partitioning member is located in a space between the water blocking cover and the yoke and restrains free communication of the air between the intake duct and the exhaust duct through the space between the water blocking cover and the yoke.
