A solar cell can be modeled by an equivalent electrical circuit. The simplest model includes a current source representing the photogenerated current (\(I_L\)), in parallel with a diode representing the p-n junction. A more accurate model adds a parallel shunt resistance (\(R_{sh}\)) for leakage currents and a series resistance (\(R_s\)) for contact and bulk material resistance.

Kanban, meaning "visual card" or "signboard" in Japanese, is a scheduling system integral to the Toyota Production System. It uses visual cues, typically cards, to trigger action and manage workflow. It is a "pull" system that signals the need to move materials within a manufacturing facility or from an outside supplier into the production facility.

The Deborah number is a dimensionless quantity in rheology, used to characterize the fluidity of materials. It is the ratio of the relaxation time, which is an intrinsic property of the material, to the characteristic time scale of the experiment or observation. The formula is \(De = \frac{t_c}{t_p}\), where \(t_c\) is the relaxation time and \(t_p\) is the observation time.

A structured methodology for creating new products, typically involving analysis, concept development, and synthesis. It is an iterative cycle where designers research user needs, brainstorm ideas, create prototypes, and test them to refine the final product. This process ensures that the end product is both functional and meets market demands effectively before full-scale production.

Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is a reliability metric representing the predicted elapsed time between inherent failures of a repairable system. For systems with a constant failure rate \(\lambda\), MTBF is its reciprocal: \(MTBF = 1/\lambda\). This simple relationship is fundamental in reliability engineering for predicting system uptime and planning maintenance schedules, assuming failures follow an exponential distribution.

For a system of components in series, where any single failure causes system failure, the overall failure rate is the sum of individual rates. The system's MTBF is the reciprocal of this sum: \(MTBF_{system} = (\sum_{i=1}^{n} \lambda_i)^{-1} = (1/MTBF_1 + 1/MTBF_2 + ... + 1/MTBF_n)^{-1}\). This implies the system's MTBF is always less than the lowest individual component's MTBF.

The Fill Factor (FF) is a key parameter that determines the quality of a solar cell. It is the ratio of the maximum power a cell can produce (\(P_{max}\)) to the theoretical power if it were an ideal voltage and current source (\(V_{oc} \times I_{sc}\)). A higher fill factor indicates lower parasitic resistance losses and a more 'square' I-V curve.

A Pourbaix diagram, also known as a potential/pH diagram, is a thermodynamic chart that maps the stable equilibrium phases of an aqueous electrochemical system. It graphically shows the conditions of potential (\(E_H\)) and pH under which a metal is immune (thermodynamically stable), passivated (forms a stable protective film), or susceptible to corrosion (forms soluble ions).

Electrochemical potential is fundamental to life, driving processes across cell membranes. Ion pumps actively create concentration gradients, while the selective permeability of ion channels establishes an electrical potential (membrane potential). The resulting electrochemical gradient dictates the passive flow of ions, which is crucial for nerve signaling (action potentials), muscle contraction, and cellular energy production (ATP synthesis) in mitochondria.

The fundamental building block of modern digital electronics is the transistor, specifically the MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor). It operates as an electronically controlled switch. By applying a voltage to its gate terminal, the flow of current between its source and drain terminals can be turned on (representing a '1') or off (representing a '0'), enabling the implementation of logic gates.

A foundational model in marketing, the 4Ps framework classifies the key elements a business uses to promote its brand or product. It consists of Product (the item or service), Price (the cost to the consumer), Place (where it's sold), and Promotion (the advertising and sales activities). These four variables are controlled by the company to influence consumer demand.

Repeatability assesses precision under identical conditions, while reproducibility assesses precision when one or more conditions change, such as the operator, instrument, or location. Reproducibility variance is always greater than or equal to repeatability variance. This distinction is crucial for understanding measurement variability, especially in inter-laboratory comparisons where conditions are inherently different.

For repairable systems, Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is the sum of Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) and Mean Time To Repair (MTTR). The formula is \(MTBF = MTTF + MTTR\). MTTF represents the average operational time before a failure, while MTTR is the average time taken to repair the system. This distinction is critical for understanding system availability.

Cleanrooms utilize two primary airflow principles to control contamination. Turbulent (or non-unidirectional) flow involves mixed air streams, suitable for less stringent classes (ISO 6-9). Laminar (or unidirectional) flow uses parallel, constant-velocity air streams to sweep particles out of the environment, essential for high-purity applications like ISO 1-5, preventing cross-contamination and ensuring rapid particle removal.

Heijunka is the principle of production leveling or smoothing within the Toyota Production System. It involves averaging out the production volume and mix over a fixed period to eliminate peaks and valleys in workload. This creates a predictable and stable manufacturing environment, which is a prerequisite for implementing Just-in-Time (JIT) and standardized work effectively.
