A flexible clamp for clamping and spacing solar panel modules, including a captive flange forming a top portion, which includes a top face, a bottom face, a right side, a left side, a front side, a back side, a substantially planar underside to engage the modules upper surface. It also includes a longitudinal axis and an aperture disposed generally along that axis. First, second, and third horizontal members are disposed under the captive flange and include substantially planar surfaces generally parallel to the underside of the captive flange. Each horizontal member includes a right side, a left side, a front side, a back side, a width slightly less than the width of the captive flange, and an aperture coaxial with the aperture in the captive flange. A first vertical member connects the right side of the first horizontal member with the captive flange at a point slight right of the longitudinal axis and left of the right side, thus forming a right overhang for engaging a first solar panel. A second vertical member connects the left sides of the second and third horizontal members in such manner that a left overhang is formed, and this is adapted for engaging a second solar panel adjacent to the first panel. A third vertical member coplanar with the first vertical member connects the right sides of the second and third horizontal members. When a bolt is passed through the coaxial apertures and tightened, the clamp flexes and bows slightly outwardly.

An upper wing surface of a laminar-flow airfoil for decreasing an undesirable head-lowering pitching moment around an aerodynamic center of the airfoil. The upper wing surface includes: a convex front profile portion extending from a leading edge to a largest-thickness point located corresponding to 38% of a wing chord length. A convex central profile portion extends from the largest-thickness point to a position corresponding to 90% of the wing chord length at which a value obtained by dividing a thicknesswise difference between the position and the largest-thickness point by a distance in a direction of the wing chord from the largest-thickness point is equal to or smaller than 0.12. A concave rear profile portion extends from a position corresponding to 95% of the wing chord length to the trailing edge. The rear profile portion forms a pressure gradient is steeper than that formed by the central profile portion.

An interferometer spectrometer that has reduced alignment sensitivity is described herein. Parallelism of an output ray pair formed by a single input ray is not affected by variations in relative alignment of the components. In comparison to other compensated interferometer designs, lateral separation errors in the output ray pair due to optical component misalignment are reduced. The reduced alignment sensitivity may be accomplished by utilizing simple planar components that are common to both light paths. The reduced alignment sensitivity and simplicity in design provides a more compact and more robust interferometer, with reduced manufacturing costs associated therewith. An elliptical field of view light source that utilizes an array of collimator lenses is also described. The light source provides a more compact design than a single circular collimator lens of the same area, and is suitable for single channel or multi-channel use.

A device and a method for cutting through the adhesive bead of panes that have been fixed by bonding is specified, said device having a base body on which at least one suction plate for fixing on a pane to be separated out as well as one motor-drivable coil for winding-on a separating wire are accommodated, wherein at least two guide rollers are held on the base body by means of extension arms at a distance which is adjustable in respect to each other. The device is preferably positioned approximately diagonally on the pane in such a manner that the guide rollers are situated on the outer ends of the extension arms in the vicinity of the corner regions of the pane.

The invention describes apparatus and method for receiving and decoding a multiplexed data stream organised in sectors containing payload portions individually destined for one of two or more decoders. The apparatus is connected to a memory device addressable in an address space. At least one of the decoders generates read and/or write addresses from within a predetermined address range that is a true subset of the address space. For avoiding additional memory accesses caused by moving data already contained in the memory into the decoder address range, the apparatus has an address translator which translates the decoder addresses into translated addresses and uses the translated addresses for accessing the memory device.

It is an object of the present invention to make an oil-reservoir chamber independent from a motor chamber into which a refrigerant compressed by a compressor mechanism is introduced, thereby reducing a compressor in size. In a compressor 1, a partition member 7 is provided in a housing 3 on the opposite side from a compressor mechanism 4 with respect to a motor 5. The partition member 7 is pushed by a stator 5a of the motor 5, thereby liquid-tightly fixing the partition member 7 to the housing 3. The oil-reservoir chamber 6 is formed independently from a motor chamber 2 in which the motor 5 is accommodated, and lubricant oil is efficiently separated from a refrigerant with a simple structure.

The method includes measuring an adjacent band interference value indicating an amount of adjacent band interference in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) band associated with an LTE radio entity prior to switching the LTE radio entity to an active state from an inactive state, comparing the adjacent band interference value with a predetermined threshold value, and reporting in-device co-existence interference in the LTE band to an evolved Node B (eNB) according to an outcome of the comparing of the adjacent band interference value with the predetermined threshold value.

Method for producing a microencapsulate and corresponding reactive amphiphilic compound, microencapsulate and composition. Method for producing a polymeric, amphiphilic, highly functionalisable and versatile microencapsulate/nanoencapsulate, which comprises 2 stages: dispersing a first liquid phase in a second liquid phase forming an emulsion, in this way said first phase remains dispersed in said second phase, and polymerising a polymer that forms the wall of the microencapsulate. Between both phases an interphase is formed with a reactive amphiphilic compound, which is a prepolymer of the polymer. The amphiphilic compound has two more main functional groups that react in the subsequent polymerisation to produce the polymer. These two main functional groups are separated from each other by between 4 to 12 links. The amphiphilic compound has at least one hydrophilic or hydrophobic functional group in one chain which is sideways with respect to the chain that links both main functional groups.

For deriving an RTL description through several steps from a behavioral description, a behavioral synthesis device outputs an associated relation between intermediate level descriptions subsequent to the respective steps and intermediate level descriptions prior to the respective steps. A model extracting device extracts a model capable of expressing a control structure based on a finite state machine and an update of a signal from the behavioral description, each of the intermediate level descriptions, and the RTL description, as a model corresponding to those descriptions. A signal value function extracting device extracts signal value functions from the model. A function equivalence comparing device checks the equivalence between signal value functions prior and subsequent to the steps of the behavioral synthesis device.
