Provided herein are apparatuses for fabricating wire current collector and/or interconnect assemblies for solar cells. In certain embodiments, the wire assemblies include uniformly pitched serpentine wires. According to various embodiments, the apparatuses include opposing re-circulating chain link assemblies having uniformly pitched posts and a wire weaving assembly configured to weave wire around the re-circulating posts. Also provided are methods of fabricating solar cells including the wire assemblies.

A sealable connector comprises a first connector portion, a second connector portion adapted to engage the first connector portion, a compliant material disposed between the first and second connector portions, and a fastening mechanism that secures the first connector portion to the second connector portion, such that a force applied upon the compliant material by the respective first and second connector portions can be adjusted. The fastening mechanism allows a single connector to be utilized for a variety of applications and allows the connector to be adequately sealed regardless of the manufacturing tolerances of the compliant material.

A visor which is formed from a blank of material capable of being oriented such that a portion projects from a top wall of a video terminal and side portions extend from side walls, thereby providing a shelf type projection circumscribing a portion of the screen on a video display. The blank includes a top surface and a bottom surface, and the bottom surface is provided with a coating which has anti-static properties in order to reduce static and dust on the screen. The effect of the projection is that it reduces monitor glare in lighted rooms thereby reducing eyestrain and increases work privacy.
