![]() Cells can break during the process or later crack in the modules due to damage incurred during the process. The soldering of wires to the cells is one of the steps that becomes more challenging for thinner cells. Processes, materials, and handling equipment must adapt to maintain acceptable mechanical yields and module reliability. ![]() Keywords: Module Manufacturing, Reliability, Soldering 1 INTRODUCTION The need to reduce PV manufacturing costs combined with the present shortage of polysilicon feedstock are driving a steady reduction in wafer and cell thicknesses. Finite element modeling was used to explain why cells tend to crack more when loading the glass side of the modules as compared to the back side. We also describe an electroluminescence crack detection system which we developed to give quick and nondestructive feedback for imaging the cracked cells in a module. In this paper we describe a cell breakage strength tester that we constructed as a quick feedback and quality control tool for improving and monitoring the soldering process. In order to maintain good yields and module reliability as we shift our String Ribbon wafer thickness below 200 microns, Evergreen Solar has developed tools to aid in process, equipment, and materials optimization and has developed improved methods of crack detection at the module level. 138 Bartlett St., Marlborough, MA 01752,, Max Davis, Brian Atchley, Tyler Williams GreenMountain Engineering 500 Third St, Suite 265, San Francisco, CA ABSTRACT: The need to reduce PV manufacturing costs combined with the present shortage of polysilicon feedstock are driving a steady reduction in wafer and cell thicknesses.

![]() Often, scammers request odd payment methods, like CashApp, Venmo, Zelle or gift cards, which Breyault says are difficult, if not impossible, to get refunded. Once a person makes contact, the scammer invents some reason why they can’t see the puppy in person and asks them to pay for the dog up front - often tacking on additional expenses like COVID-safe shipping crates, immunizations and airline fees. “People may be going back to work soon and won’t be able to be at home with pets, so scammers might be worried the demand will decrease,” Hunter says.įake breeders usually use the same ploy: They build convincing websites, then advertise on social media or a classifieds site like Craigslist to steer people in their direction. Likewise, legitimate breeders and adoption agencies are reopening now, so fraudsters are ramping up their efforts to take advantage of the tail end of the puppy craze, says American Kennel Club (AKC) spokeswoman Brandi Hunter. John Breyault, vice president of public policy, telecommunications and fraud at the National Consumers League, says many Americans who were worried about their jobs or finances at the beginning of the pandemic may be more confident in their economic security these days, and more willing to invest in a pet. The demand for new family pets is high, even as daily life starts to normalize. A few days earlier, a family in Detroit was swindled out of nearly $1,000 for a boxer puppy that never arrived. In late March, a sheriff’s office in upstate New York warned residents of a group of scammers targeting locals with ads for fake corgis, French bulldogs, and other purebred dogs. But as the stay-at-home orders wane and states rapidly reopen, scammers haven’t slowed down. This trend was fueled by the pandemic, when many people were stuck at home, craving canine companionship.

On the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) “scam tracker” websites, dozens of people report fake pet sites and social media groups every week - many of whom paid thousands of dollars for dogs they never received. Online puppy scams like these are more popular than ever. Maggie didn’t exist, and the couple lost their money. When March 22, the pick-up day they’d agreed on, rolled around, the “breeder” stopped responding. ![]() Her husband did a reverse Google image search and found that the person they’d sent the deposit to was using recycled photos of goldendoodle puppies from other websites. “A few days later, we saw someone post a screenshot of the breeder in the same Facebook group saying it was all fake,” Mills says. The breeder said she couldn’t meet in person because of the pandemic, but since Mills and her husband had an immediate emotional connection to the ball of fluff on their computer screen, they agreed to put down a $650 payment through Zelle to “reserve” it. The kicker? The puppy had the same name as her last dog, Maggie, who passed away last year. The breeder had a professional-looking profile page, and to Mills’ delight, was located in a neighboring city. A few weeks ago, Katie Mills found the goldendoodle puppy of her dreams listed on a Facebook page for Midwest dog adoptions. ![]() Furthermore, we overhauled the Android port, but you'll mostly notice the scale factor 2 there. And we have fixed a lot of long-standing OPL4 emulation issues, thanks to Valley Bell. OpenMSX 0.15.0-Sinterklaasphemy-is a release which was due because we did quite a lot! This time the major new stuff is support for ColecoVision (including Super Game Module and MegaCart mapper), Musical Memory Mapper and Carnivore 2. Please read the release notes for details of the openMSX changes. We again made a small amount of improvements: fix hidden openMSX window when launching from Catapult, migration to Python 3 and wxWidgets 3.0, make supported extensions consistent with openMSX command line, replaced Accuracy control with VSync button and Min and Max Frameskip controls with fast forward speed controls and added a button to enable full speed when loading ("Fast Load"). Together with openMSX an updated version of Catapult, our user-friendly GUI, was released. But we also added a super accurate YM2413 emulation (originally written by NukeYKT), fixed MIDI-in/out support on Windows, a new keyboard mode, much improved OSD menu, etc. Some often requested ones are copy/paste functionality and drag and drop support. prefix now :) Other than that, there are loads and loads of improvements. And we moved to a simpler versioning scheme, stripping off that 0. OpenMSX 16.0-Oh Shucks-is a major release in which we finally migrated to SDL2 and Tcl 8.6. Special thanks to all the contributors of this release who are not in the core team! Keep these pull requests coming! We again only made a few small bug fixes. Most notable may be the usability improvements of the OSD menu. OpenMSX 17.0-Quibus Birthday Release-is a major release with mostly bug fixes and smaller improvements. Come and visit us there!įor those people who think IRC is too retro (can anything be too retro?), we also have a Discord channel nowadays, which is bridged to our IRC channel. If you don't have an IRC client installed, you can use web chat instead. Special thanks to all the contributors of this release who are not in the core team! Keep these pull requests coming!Īs some of our IRC regulars weren't feeling comfortable anymore on the freenode IRC network lately ( this article does a reasonable job of summarizing events), we have moved to #openMSX on the Libera.Chat network. Together with openMSX an updated version of Catapult, our user-friendly GUI, was released, but there were no functional changes this time. And of course a little more blasphemy out there adding support for Sega SG-1000. OpenMSX 18.0-Lucky Number-is again a release with mostly bug fixes and smaller improvements. ![]() This article has been corrected to reflect the fact that Twitter for Mac received two other updates this year in addition to Retina Display support. Meanwhile, Final Cut Pro, Compressor, Motion, and iMovie all received updates this week, improving performance on the Mac Studio, and adding additional features. Today's update shows that Twitter for Mac is still very much in development - and if nothing in the update is particularly revolutionary, it does help Twitter maintain a more uniform look across its product lineup. Interact with tweets directly from notifications, choose custom. Before that, it had been ages since the Mac client had seen an update, leading many users to speculate that Twitter had abandoned it to focus on its apps for web and mobile. Tweeten Notifications allow you to get real-time updates without getting distracted. Previously this year, the company added support for notifications inside the app and updated it to support Retina Displays. Today's update to Twitter for Mac is the first since July, when the company added retweets, follows and favorites to the Connect tab. Clicking on a tweet will pull up an expanded view that shows you which people favorited or retweeted it, along with any replies. Focus helps you reduce distractions by filtering out notifications based on what you are. Shared with You resurfaces the articles, photos, and other shared content from your Messages conversations in the corresponding app. The new profile includes the banner image along with the main profile for the first time in Twitter for Mac. iOS 15 brings audio and video enhancements to FaceTime, including spatial audio and Portrait mode.

Some hacks can get very intense if you like to play loose and cut corners. You need to finish your job and terminate the connection before the beeping flatlines. While you are hacking, the trace tracker beeps at you with increasing intensity as the security programs are trying trace your location. ![]() In the game, you need to purchase software programs (firewall bypasses, decrypters, trace trackers, you know hacker things) as well as upgrade your computer’s hardware. You choose to perform different jobs such as: As one of those nerds, you work for a company called UpLink which acts as sort of an Craigslist-style bulletin board for hacker jobs. UpLink takes place in the (future) year 2010 in a world where corporate cyber-espionage is a career path for many computer nerds. Finally I have a good reason to expose people to it! Not because of the graphics and not even because of the gameplay but because this game really made me feel like a hacker. I have been meaning to write about this game for a long time because it is easily in my top ten favorite games of all time. It wasn’t until UpLink was announced for iPad that I realized I missed the absolute best example of “outsmarting the game” that exists. ![]() I struggled to think of games that included this innovation, only caming up with Dungeon Master’s original spell system and Portal’s clever puzzles. In reality the developers fully intended the player to break the game as part of the natural learning experience. This is a rarely-realized gameplay mechanic in which the player thinks they have discovered something in a game that the developers did not intend them to find. I wrote an article not too long ago about games that make you feel as though you have outsmarted them. ![]() Help us to love as you do and to act wisely so that others will be drawn to your salvation and hope.
