The present invention relates to a back-contact solar cell and a manufacturing method therefor, and a photovoltaic module. The back-contact solar cell includes: a substrate, with a back side provided with a first doped portion and a second doped portion that are arranged alternately; a first doped functional layer located on the first doped portion, wherein the first doped functional layer comprises a first doped semiconductor sub-layer and at least one barrier layer that are sequentially stacked in a direction away from the substrate; a second doped semiconductor layer located on the second doped portion; and a plurality of first conductive portions arranged on a side of the first doped functional layer away from the substrate, and a plurality of second conductive portions arranged on a side of the second doped semiconductor layer away from the substrate.

An image forming apparatus (1) includes a controller (100) that causes ink heads (121) to perform a flushing operation, including ejecting ink from each of nozzles to one of a plurality of openings (20), at a different timing from a timing for executing an image forming operation, according to a flushing pattern, by which an ink ejection position is specified. The flushing pattern is determined by increasing the number of nozzles of each of the ink heads (121), specified with respect to each of the openings (20), by the number of nozzles of each of the ink heads (121) that are required to eject the ink in duplicate to the opening (20), to perform an overlapping operation.

A sheet postprocessing apparatus (20) restricts, when a plurality of sheets are placed on a processing tray (25), and a next sheet is switched back by a switchback roller (22), restricts a pair of cursors (28) from moving, during a period from start of the switchback transport of the next sheet by the switchback roller (22), to a time that the sheet conducted toward the siding path (27) reaches a prespecified position where the sheet is kept from interfering with the pair of cursors (28).

In an image forming apparatus (1), a light source (52) emits light having a first spectrum (blue light) and light having a second spectrum, and a controller (10) determines, as a ratio between an amount of reflected light of the blue light from a calibration original document prepared for calibrating the light having the second spectrum and a calibration reference value as a reference of the amount of reflected light, a correction value for calibration of an amount of the light having the blue light, and corrects the correction value by multiplying the calibration reference value by a sum of: a value of a Z reference value, i.e., a reference of a Z value in an XYZ color system based on the amount of reflected light of the blue light, divided by the Z value; and a weight according to a value of the Z value subtracted from the Z reference value.

The method comprises: determining a plurality of cooking parameters for a plurality of foods, the cooking parameters including cooking time; introducing a first food of said plurality of foods into an oven (1); initiating a first cooking of the first food; determining which foods among said plurality of foods have cooking parameters that are compatible with the first cooking; introducing a second food into the oven (1), the second food having cooking parameters compatible with the first cooking; initiating a second cooking of the second food simultaneously with the first cooking according to simultaneous cooking parameters; removing the first food from the oven when the cooking time of the first food has elapsed; and adjusting the parameters of the second cooking when the first food is removed from the oven (1).It allows the simultaneous cooking of two or more foods.

The invention relates to a fixing assembly (1) for submerged beaches of swimming pools, designed to secure cover plates (2) to support beams (3). The fixing assembly (1) comprises a fixed part (4) and a sliding part (5). The fixed part (4) is attachable to the underside of a cover plate (2) and includes a sliding rail (8) extending along its length, as well as fixed hooks (10) configured to engage the cover plate (2). The sliding part (5) is designed to engage with the support beam (3) and slide along the sliding rail (8), comprising movable hooks (12). The sliding part (5) is adjustable along the sliding rail (8), and the movable hooks (12) cooperate with the fixed hooks (10) to provide an adjustable securing mechanism between the cover plate (2) and the support beams (3), ensuring stability and ease of installation.

Method for producing a metadata chip (8) of data modules (41), comprising the steps of preparing a sacrificial layer (2), a first structural layer (3) configured to allows light to pass through, a design layer (4) being capable of including bidimensional metadata information, having a high optical contrast, shaping the design layer (4) using a photolithography, engraving or etching technique, to define shape and dimensions of a data module (41), shaping a first cover (31) of the data modules (41), and removing the sacrificial layer (2) in order to produce metadata chips (8) not easily visible, containing metadata security information, for enhancing security.

An image reading apparatus (2) includes an operation device (16), a communication device (22), and a controller (10). The operation device (16) allows a user's instruction to be input. The communication device (22) performs communications via a network with an information processing device. When accepting specification of a port number through the operation device (16), the controller (10) allows the communication device (22) to use a specified port corresponding to the specified port number to send to-be-sent data to a shared folder on the information processing device. Upon failure to establish a connection with the information processing device using the specified port, the controller (10) allows the communication device (22) to use another port different from the specified port to send the to-be-sent-data to the shared folder.

The installation is composed of a defective part separator, a lower conveyor belt, a turning device and a stacking unit. The turning device is constituted from a sheet feeding and displacement mechanism in which manipulators (41) are included, in which articulated arms participate about horizontal shafts (42) perpendicular to the direction of displacement of the sheet metal formats and finished at their opposite end in a magnetic or pneumatic assembly (43) for picking up the sheet metal formats. For their part, the horizontal shafts (42) are linked to one another by respective toothed wheels for synchronizing the displacement in a symmetrical manner.

The method comprises: introducing a number (N) of portions into a cooking chamber (2), the oven (1) comprising a convection fan (8) and a microwave generator (5), the number (N) of portions being equal to or greater than 1; determining a convection temperature (T); determining a cooking time (t), as a function of the number (N) of portions introduced into the cooking chamber (2); determining a power (P) of the microwave generator (5), depending on the number (N) of portions; determining a speed (v) of the convection fan (8), depending on the number (N) of portions; and preparing the food by applying the determined convection temperature (T), cooking time (t), power (P) of the microwave generator (5) and speed (v) of the convection fan (8). It provides a method that adapts the parameters of a cooking process according to the number of portions.
