The invention described here is a variable optical density solar collector optimized to be used in a nominally vertical orientation and in synergy with an adjacent, complementary solar concentrator.

Variable optical density solar collector

The method described provides a unique solar energy concentrating structure. This structure is intended to be employed in conjunction with complementary high efficiency solar cell elements to produce solar electric power. In its usual embodiment it contributes to a system of exterior window concentrators and solar cells that provide good visibility and control excess heat transmission providing benefits beyond low-e glass performance.

Array of concentrating lenses and method of manufacture

The present invention provides improved solar cells. This patent teaches a particularly efficient method of device manufacture based on incorporating the solar cell fabrication into the widely used, high temperature, Float Glass manufacture process.

Solar cell method of fabrication via float glass process

The present invention provides improved devices such as transparent solar cells. This patent teaches a particularly efficient method of device manufacture based on incorporating the solar cell fabrication into the widely used, high temperature, Float Glass manufacture process.

Transparent solar cell method of fabrication via float glass process

A method for producing a High Temperature Thin Film Layer On Glass (HTTFLOG) of silicon, which is a precursor component of thin film transistors (TFTs). The invention described here is a superior method of fabricating HTTFLOG precursor structures or components for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) with quicker production time and lower cost of manufacture while enabling a groundbreaking increase in small and large screen resolution. This invention is a new sub-assembly intended for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) consumption and inclusion in display products.

Adjustable ladder leveling extension

A coherent method for the creating, capturing, and retrieving of ideas, concepts, data, and/or multi-media information The system establishes a framework in which knowledge can be represented. The system is a computer-based system which utilizes multimedia, databases, and mass storage to implement this framework. It has an architecture and an open-ended-set of functional elements that combine to support knowledge processing. Knowledge is created by uniquely identifying and interrelating heterogeneous datasets located locally on a user's workstation or dispersed across computer networks. By uniquely identifying and storing the created interrelationships, the datasets themselves need not be locally stored. Datasets may therefore be located, interrelated and accessed across computer networks. In addition, an almost unlimited number of relationships can be created and stored as knowledge to be selectively filtered and collected by the end user.
