Precise, non-contact dispensing improves quality and reliability of solar cells

AST PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Thursday, July 11th 2013 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE) Nordson EFD, a Nordson company (NASDAQ:NDSN), has developed a non-contact dispense valve for precision jetting of low viscosity flux onto solar cell bus bars. Operating at speeds up to 500Hz/sec, the Square WaveTM 745NC valve meets the photovoltaic industry’s need to deposit continuous lines of microdots on the solder-coated metal ribbons that connect adjoining PV wafers. Flux removes oxidation and contamination to improve solar cell efficiency and power output.

The Square Wave’s innovative solenoid technology delivers a high-speed cycle rate that minimizes process variation for repeatable dot-to-dot consistency. A low actuation speed of 2 milliseconds prevents build-up of flux crystals on the valve’s nozzle which could prevent the fluid from being deposited precisely on the bus bar. The pistons' unique mater ... Read more »

Managing Director of Fortress Financial Investments Hamed Mokhtar Comments on How Excessive Inflation Damages Economic Recovery


DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Wednesday, July 10th 2013 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hamed Mokhtar, Managing Director of Fortress Investments, recently gave a talk on uncontrolled inflation to investors, in which he outlined the dangers it poses to economic recovery. Inflation, which can broadly be defined as an increase in prices, impacts the cost of living, cost of doing business, bond yields and the cost of borrowing money. It is detrimental to economic recovery because as the cost of goods rise, savings are eroded and buying power is decreased, if it is left unchecked and rises too quickly. If inflation becomes too high the economy can suffer; conversely, if inflation is controlled and at reasonable levels, the economy may prosper. With controlled, lower inflation, employment increases, consumers have more money to buy goods and servi ... Read more »
