The present invention provides a solar cell module comprising at least one encapsulant layer which has 1) a total thickness of from about 0.1 to about 20 mils and 2) at least one surface layer made of ionomers containing a finite amount of polymerized residues of α-olefins and from about 18 to about 25 wt % of polymerized residues of α,β-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids. The present invention also provides a process of manufacturing the solar cell module.

A transmission circuit (14) is connected onto an electric power line (8) at the side of the inflow of current to solar battery strings (7A, 7B) and a reception circuit (15) is connected onto the electric power line (8) at the side of the outflow of current to the solar battery strings (7A, 7B). Then, an attenuation circuit (4) connected in series with a bypass diode (5) is provided on a bypass circuit (3). The transmission circuit (14) transmits a periodic signal with a predetermined frequency to the electric power line (8). The reception circuit (15) receives a transmission signal transmitted from the transmission circuit (14) to the electric power line (8) via the solar battery strings (7A, 7B). A determination circuit (19) determines that direct-current power is distributed to the bypass circuit (3) when it is detected that the oscillation of the transmission signal received by the reception circuit (15) is attenuated by a predetermined value or more.

An IC card includes a card reader interface for receiving data from a card reader, a microprocessor for decoding, decrypting and categorizing the data or converting the data into displaying format, an electrically erasable programmable read only memory for storing the data, a display screen, a display driver for driving the display screen, and a solar battery for providing power, whereby it is unnecessary for a user to look for a card read in order to read the data stored in the IC card.

A method for purifying a mixture comprising single-wall carbon nanotubes and amorphous carbon contaminate is disclosed. The method includes the steps of heating the mixture under oxidizing conditions sufficient to remove the amorphous carbon, followed by recovering a product comprising at least about 80% by weight of single-wall carbon nanotubes. A method for producing tubular carbon molecules of about 5 to 500 nm in length is also disclosed. The method includes the steps of cutting single-wall nanotube containing-material to form a mixture of tubular carbon molecules having lengths in the range of 5-500 nm and isolating a fraction of the molecules having substantially equal lengths The nanotubes may be used, singularly or in multiples, in power transmission cables, in solar cells, in batteries, as antennas, as molecular electronics, as probes and manipulators, and in composites.
