High-efficient transparent conductive oxide (TCO) film-embedding Si heterojunction solar cells were fabricated. An additional doping was not applied for heterojunction solar cells due to the spontaneous junction formation between TCO films and an n-type Si substrate. Three different TCO coatings were formed by sputtering method for an Al-doped ZnO (AZO) film, an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) film and double stacks of ITO/AZO films. An improved crystalline ITO film was grown on an AZO template upon hetero-epitaxial growth. This double TCO films-embedding Si heterojunction solar cell provided significantly enhanced efficiency of 9.23% as compared to the single TCO/Si devices. The effective arrangement of TCO films (ITO/AZO) provides benefits of a lower front contact resistance and a smaller band offset to Si leading enhanced photovoltaic performances. This demonstrates a potential scheme of the effective TCO film-embedding heterojunction Si solar cells.

We have simulated a symmetric dual-gate TFT which has triple floating n+ channel to improve the on-current of the dual-gate TFT. We achieved a low hole concentration at the source and channel junction causes the improvement the potential barrier so that we observed the reduction of the kink-effect. In this paper, we observed the reduction of the kink-effect compared with the conventional single-gate TFT and the improvement of the on-current compared with the conventional dual-gate TFT.

The endocrine cells in the midgut epithelium of the Japanese cockroach, Periplaneta japonica were observed by the light and electron microscopy. The midgut epithelium of the last instar larva and adult cockroach consisted of principal columnar cells, regenerative cells, and secretory granular cells. Midgut endocrine cells were positioned basally as a cone-shaped single cell in the epithelium or underneath the regenerative crypt cells. When midgut epithelium grows and the cell composing it transforms, between the endocrine cells and regenerative cells were made desmosome type junction and large vesicular shaped stretches of loose contact. The endocrine cells were characterized by a clear cytoplasm with abundant Golgi complex and numerous secretory granules. The secretory granules in the cell were spherical and electron dense with their diameter of $200{\sim}400nm$. The secretory granules have been observed as discharged by exocytosis on the basal and lateral side of the cell.

PV model is presented based on the shockley diode equation. The simple model has a photo-current source, an single diode junction and a series resistance and includes temperature dependences. An accurate PV module electrical model is presented, matching with boost converter MPPT strategy and demosntarted in Matlab for a typical general purpose solar cell. Given solar insolation and temperature, the model returns current vector and MPP.

A new log-domain first-order multifunction filter is proposed in this letter. The proposed filter is systematically derived using the state-space synthesis procedure from a corresponding block diagram. It provides low-pass (LP), high-pass (HP), and all-pass (AP) responses simultaneously for a single input signal. The filter circuit has a very simple structure since it uses only bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and a grounded capacitor. It can be electronically tuned by changing an external current. The filter has a greater bandwidth due to its inherent current-mode and log-domain operations. PSPICE simulations are given to confirm the theoretical analysis.

We have studied photovoltaic characteristics of single-junction GaAs solar cells with/without an $MgF_2/ZnS$ anti-reflective coating (ARC) illuminated by low-density concentration (<10 suns). By the ARC deposition, the short-circuit current density ($J_{SC}$) and the fill factor (FF) are increased by $5mA/cm^2$ and 5% at a standard illumination (1 sun), respectively, and the resulted conversion efficiency is enhanced by 45%. In contrast with the cell with no ARC showing a rapid degradation with increasing concentration power, the efficiency of ARC-deposited cell remains almost constant as ($17.7{\pm}0.3$)% regardless of the concentration. It informs that ARC treatment is very effective in GaAs concentrator solar cells.

Halide perovskites are promising photovoltaic materials due to their excellent optoelectronic properties like high absorption coefficient, low exciton binding energy and long diffusion length, and single-junction solar cells consisting of them have shown a high certified efficiency of 25.2%. Despite of high efficiency, perovskite photovoltaics show poor stability under actual operational condition, which is the mostly critical obstacle for commercialization. Given that the stability of the perovskite devices is significantly affected by charge-transporting layers, the use of inorganic charge-transporting layers with better intrinsic stability than the organic counterparts must be beneficial to the enhanced device reliability. In this review article, we summarized a number of studies on the inorganic charge-transporting layers of the perovskite solar cells, especially focusing on their effects on the enhanced device reliability.

Primary small cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder is an extremely rare but important entity. We experienced a case of small cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder diagnosed by urine cytology. A 59-year-old man presented with gross hematuria and dysuria, and a calcified mass was detected at the left ureterovesical junction by cystoscopy. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed focal wall thickening at the left lateral side of the urinary bladder, and urine cytology findings were of an inflammatory background and atypical small round cells with minute hyperchromatic or pyknotic nuclei, scant cytoplasm, and rare nucleoli. In addition, atypical cells were scattered in an isolated single cell pattern or in small loose clusters with prominent nuclear molding. Subsequent histological and immunohistochemical examinations confirmed a diagnosis of small cell carcinoma.

The sputtering systems mainly consist of the three-target holder. The target and substrate were the on-axis type. The MgO and STO substrate were used for the deposition of each layer. The optimum conditions of single-layer thin film were investigated from the SEM images and the XRD patterns. Based on the above conditions, the multi-layer thin films such as YBaCuO/LaGaO/Au/Nb and YBaCuO/Au/Nb were fabricated. The crystalline, the electrical Properties, the energy gap structure and the characteristics of the tunneling barrier on the multi-layer thin film have been investigated and characterized.

Using six SMD(surface mount device) type AlGaAs/GaAs single junction solar cells connected in series, a power source was fabricated for a white GaN LED. The electrical properties of the power source was measured and analyzed under one sun (100mW/$cm^2$) and various indoor light (300 - 900 lux) conditions. Under 600 lux indoor light condition, output power was 17.06 ${\mu}W$ and it was 30.75 ${\mu}W$ under 900 lux indoor light condition. Using the fabricated solar cell power supply, we have turned on the white GaN LED. It was worked well under 15 ${\mu}W$(at 480 lux) power supplied from solar cell array. This kind of solar cell power supply can be used as a power source for ubiquitous sensor network (USN).
