Substrate and collector grid structures for integrated series connected photovoltaic arrays and process of manufacture of such arrays
InactiveUS6414235B1Eliminate deficienciesCheap productionPV power plantsElectrode carriers/collectorsRoll-to-roll processingMetal foil
This invention comprises deposition of thin film photovoltaic junctions on metal substrates which can be heat treated following deposition in a continuous fashion without deterioration of the metal support structure. In a separate operation an interconnection substrate structure is produced in a continuous roll-to-roll fashion. In this way the interconnection substrate structure can be uniquely formulated from polymer-based materials since it does not have to endure high temperature exposure. Cells comprising the metal foil supported photovoltaic junctions are then laminated to the interconnection substrate structure. Conductive interconnections are deposited to complete the array. The conductive interconnections can be accomplished with a separately prepared interconnection component. The interconnected array is produced using continuous roll-to-roll processing which avoids the need to use the expensive and intricate material removal operations currently taught in the art to achieve electrical interconnections among arrays of photovoltaic cells.

A plurality of images of portions of a fingerprint surface is generated by measuring structural features the portions of the surface with a sensor array as the surface is moved relative to the array. A two-dimensional image of the fingerprint surface is constructed from a portion of the plurality of images. In one embodiment, a varying voltage is applied to a finger positioned over an exciting electrode and a capacitive sensor array, and the capacitance or impedance through the finger is measured between the electrode and the array to detect variations in capacitance or impedance caused by variations in the structural features of the fingerprint surface. In one embodiment, the speed of the fingerprint surface relative to the sensor array is determined by sensing features of the fingerprint surface at two spaced-apart sensing elements and determining the speed from the distance between the sensing elements and the time lapse between passage of identical features of the fingerprint surface from one of the sensing elements to the other.

Process and measuring system for detection of substances emitted or perspired through the skin
InactiveUS6183418B1Minimize impactInexpensive productionTesting beveragesPreparing sample for investigationDiffusionQuantitative determination
The process for detection and for quantitative determination of substances emitted or perspired through the skin is derived from flow diffusion analysis. The measuring system conceived for this purpose uses a diffusion half cell through which an acceptor medium flows and which is closed by a membrane. For the duration of the measurement, the membrane is brought into contact with the skin or a closed gas volume formed over the skin. With the process and the related measuring system, the blood alcohol level can be determined with a good degree of precision indirectly via the quantity of (gaseous) ethanol emitted through the skin.
