Applied Materials, vice president of the United States, Charles Gay, general manager of solar business (CharlesF.Gay) told reporters on the future prospects of solar cell industry expressed their views.

- Would you please tell us about the solar cell market. Analysis of how the current market conditions do?

1970’s annual growth rate of 20% in the past 10 years has maintained a growth rate of 40%. At present, the world is in an economic crisis, but I think it’s good for solar cells is a good opportunity. For example, the current bank interest rates low, it is easier to use solar power investment. In addition, Japan, which is also an opportunity. Balance sheet balance of the company can use the cash investment in solar cell business. In addition, in accordance with Japan’s new policy, the solar cells will be re-entered the residential area of the individual. So for Japan, excellent opportunity has arrived.

- In the future, the world’s leading solar cell industry in the region will change? The current status of the lead in Europe.

Which is not a regional leader, but at the same time the global solar cell industry in the rapidly expanding number of areas. In Europe, Germany, Spain, France, Italy and Greece as well as the expansion of the trend to continue to spread around, Turkey, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco and other countries are also rapidly growing market. Japan, South Korea and China, needless to say, no. In the United States, California is leading status. By Governor Schwarzenegger’s plan has been implemented in the 1,000,000 residential installation of solar cells. To the 3kW residential solar installation to 1,000,000 will reach 3GW. In addition, more and more people are considering the installation of office, etc., that time will reach 150GW, we have begun to consider the use of “GW” rather than “megawatts”. In addition, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, India, and China’s solar cell business has become more prosperous, industry and the rise of the global market at the same time.

- With the solar cell business, global expansion, the cost becomes more important. When do you think will achieve 1 U.S. dollars per watt of the costs?

I think 1GW is a critical line (CriticalMass), in the 1GW plant, 2 years, will be able to achieve the cost of 1 U.S. dollars.

- In this case, AMAT this year, the results of what is the best?

There are many results, such as in the field of thin film, we get a lot of new customers and existing customers to expand the size of the purchase. ThinkPad A31，ThinkPad A31P，ThinkPad R30，ThinkPad R31，ThinkPad R32，ThinkPad R40，ThinkPad R40e，ThinkPad R40e 2684，ThinkPad R40e 2685，ThinkPad R50，ThinkPad R50 Series，ThinkPad R50e，ThinkPad R50P，ThinkPad R51，ThinkPad R52，ThinkPad R60，ThinkPad R60e，ThinkPad R61，ThinkPad R61e，ThinkPad R61i，ThinkPad T20，ThinkPad T21，ThinkPad T22，ThinkPad T23，ThinkPad T30，ThinkPad T40，ThinkPad T40P，ThinkPad T41，ThinkPad T41P，ThinkPad T42 Series，ThinkPad T42P，ThinkPad T43，ThinkPad T43P，ThinkPad T60，ThinkPad T60p，ThinkPad T61，ThinkPad T61p，ThinkPad X20

- It is said that AMAT solar cells in the related fields constantly recruiting new talent.

U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Work Experience and Training, Deputy Minister Alexander Kasi Na (AlexanderKarsner) is assuming the post of the chairman. In addition, we in China and Europe have also hired new personnel. Solar cell business, the world’s total of about 1,200 employees. Will continue to expand in the future.

- Please tell us the total contract (Turn-Key) business. This business has a persistent form of it? It was of the view that “the total contract is a short-term business model, customers will have their own technology will no longer general contracting business.”

Others think of AMAT is a good thing. We believe that the general contracting business with persistent. At present, the solar cell business has previously had very different. In the strategy, tactics, marketing, brand, price and the initiative of both the previous and different. This is not to sell products on the end of the story. In the field of public utilities such as electricity, the technology is becoming more and more important, we have to do the business in the future to consider.

1. In the use of laptop computers to read carefully before using the maintenance part of the battery manual;

2. Charger for the first time, you should continuously charge the battery to 12 hours, and to completely Circulating charge, 3 discharges in order to complete the new wake-up battery;

3. If you use an external power supply for a long time, it is best to remove the battery. Many people have asked me not aware of this issue, with an external power supply when the battery is not removed not only affect the battery life of notebook computers also allow the heat to become even heavier burden to shorten the life of notebook computers;

4. Charging and discharging on a regular basis. Even without the memory effect of lithium-ion battery There is a certain inertia effect for a long time not to lose the use of lithium-ion activity will require re-activation. Therefore, if long (3 weeks or longer) not to use a computer or the battery charge and discharge found that shorter time, the batteries should be fully discharged before charging, in general, at least a month to complete charge and discharge 1.

5. Recharging the best time to switch off the laptop, so that the battery can be completely full of electricity, not to charge out half-way power. Will start charging off than the charge to reduce the charge for more than 30% of the time, but also to extend battery life. The best in charge after 30 minutes before use.

6. To prevent exposure to prevent damp to prevent the erosion of liquid chemicals, batteries to avoid contact with metal objects, such as access to short-circuit occurred in the situation from happening. Lithium battery charge and discharge less than the number 800, on one charge, it will shorten the life span of time. We proposed to make full use of external power supply, if the need for the use of many half-way Plug Power, and built-in laptop batteries have not pulled out, the battery will Zheshou great, because every time an external power supply on access to the equivalent of battery time.

Options to optimize the power management settings

For notebook users, we recommend the use of WindowsXP operating system, of course, if the laptop configuration is too low and even WindowsXP can not meet the minimum configuration requirements, it would be a different matter.

There are many reasons, the main point is that the notebook computer power management is all-the-art computer operating system, if the Centrino platform, coupled with so much the better. 1.6GHz of the Pentium-M smaller load of work only in the following frequency of 600MHz. If your notebook computer to support the Intel SpeedStep, AMD PowerNow  or Transmeta’s LongRun technology, we must keep in mind fitted with the latest driver to play its biggest utility, WindowsXP is automatic, you can own in accordance with the requirements of performance and Power to find a balance.

Users can do the most optimized power management settings, 1. Do not use a screen saver.

2. The power to use the program to select the “Portable / Laptop”, the following in accordance with the time you need to set reasonable, each situation is different, not to make hard and fast rules. General closure of the hard disk of set-up time was slightly longer than the stand-point, so as not to affect the life of the hard disk.

3. Enter the “Power Options” properties “senior” fair use “power button” and give you a great convenience, can improve the rational use of battery capacity. For example: “In the closed portable computer” is set to “standby” to leave the laptop at the moment, not only can save on the confidentiality of personal information very helpful, but do not need to wait for the restart. The use of large line of notebook computers (such as IBM, SONY, HP, Toshiba, etc.), usually provide better power management software, and has some special features: IBM’s power management program can reduce the liquid crystal screen refresh Rate; TOSHIBA Toshiba’s power management procedures in the absence of sufficient electric power directly to your specified by the closure of any of the equipment; SONY dedicated power management can set the fan speed can also turn off non-use of the IEEE1394 interface as well as the MEMORY STICK slot, so as to achieve power to the head.

Energy-efficient hardware

In the use of laptop computers, we can do hardware there are several major energy-saving: 1. To reduce laptop LCD screen brightness, LCD-screen LCD is a big power consumption in notebook computers, we can lower the screen brightness to the appropriate To reduce its consumption of energy, most of the notebook computer through the “Fn” + “F8″ or “F9″ to adjust screen brightness, and brightness of 8 usually optional, in the middle of the selection of the general brightness on the same key individuals who love to see you .

2. Notebooks will be designed taking into account the capacity expansion, and other equipment to facilitate the connection. So we’ll see a notebook around a lot of peripherals can be connected to the expansion of the mouth, as long as a reasonable layout of the course is to expand the capacity expansion of the mouth, the more stronger. But each of the ports need power, too much of the external interface has been an increase of unnecessary power consumption and shorten battery life capacity. I print the notebook computer, most people rarely use the serial port, it is proposed that they will disable the BIOS. If your laptop has infrared capabilities, not when it has to switch off, in “Device Manager” will be able to disable a direct, necessary, re-opened.

3. Now almost all of the computers have built-in Modem and LAN, it is best to switch off them, when they need to re-opening. Many computers with a wireless card, if you still have no access to the proposed disabled, or it will be in a constant search for the network, unnecessary power consumption.

4. Energy-efficient hard drive. Try to increase the memory capacity of notebook computers to enhance performance and reduce power consumption of hard to read constantly, if memory reached 512MB, using the Windows XP system, you can disable virtual memory to avoid frequent hard disk to read. TravelMate610,TravelMate611,TravelMate612,TravelMate613,TravelMate614,TravelMate615,

5. Some laptops will be adjusted in the BIOS, such as CPU components of the energy-saving technology, the inspection function is to open.

The use of savings in the normal course of events as long as we use a little attention will be able to reduce battery power consumption. We are following it to sum up, so that you can use the attention.

1. Connected to the expansion of the port immediately after use to remove peripherals such as printers, scanners, digital cameras, mobile hard drives, USB floppy drive, and so on. As long as these peripherals connected to the notebook computer, even if it does not work will consume battery power;

2. If the PCMCIA card slot to expand the need for the time being, should be immediately removed;

3.’s Notebook drives great power, for the time being no need to use the CD to check out, otherwise it will continue uninterrupted reading, the increase in energy consumption. The smooth flow of cooling performance notebook cooling power and the relationship between the two are very close, this is by way of cooling the laptop to the decision. Notebook computers generally use temperature heatpipe with fan cooling technology that only reaches a certain temperature before the opening of built-in cooling fan. Once the notebook’s internal poor ventilation, heat ducts has not been able to disperse the heat, fans will lead to a non-stop operation.

As the only notebook internal temperature reaches a certain temperature-controlled fan will operate, we note the following of fans will be able to reduce power consumption. 1. As far as possible in better ventilation or air-conditioned room use. 2. Not to let the dust and debris blocked the laptop cooling holes and cooling ducts, the heat sink internal parts can not be dirty, I had to split around a thick gray notebook, as heat will lead to too much trouble . 3. At home or office, the best preparations for the cooling effect of a good mattress pad below the water, plunge through the notebook to allow better heat dissipation

According to the Australian nickel producer Minara Resources said that in the third quarter of 2008, the company’s nickel output of 7656 tons for the same period last year 1,000 tons of production. In the third quarter, the company completed the 12-day maintenance shutdown of the program and restart production on time. Its annual nickel production may be lower than the expected 3.1-3.5 million tons.
