Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement and circuit, and to a method for interconnecting flat rigid or flexible solar cells, the photoelectrically active layers thereof being applied to an insulating substrate material. The aim of the invention is to provide a novel arrangement and circuit and an associated method for interconnecting flat solar cells, reducing the risk of short circuit and the inactive surface area in the matrix composite of a solar module and selectively allowing simple interconnection, both as a parallel circuit and as a series circuit in production. The solar cells (1) in the arrangement and circuit of flat rigid or flexible solar cells are disposed overlapping in the contact area to one or more adjacent solar cells (1), as is already known as such. Said solar cells (1) are interconnected to each other directly once or a plurality of times in a novel manner, having a contact material (10) at the overlapping area to each other, using contact material (10) or switching points (22). In the method, an electrically conductive layer is generated on an entire solar cell matrix made of a plurality of overlapping solar cells (1) at individual or, if necessary, selectively at a plurality of (optionally a great many of) switching points (22), by means of screen printing, dispensing, spraying, vaporization, sputtering, or galvanically precipitating. Said layer, or the corresponding number of layers, are then applied pointwise to the corresponding locations so that the back side contact (7) of each of the upper solar cells (1) is connected to the front side contact (17) of the immediately adjacent overlapping solar cell (1). The contact material (10) can be applied and disposed here as a continuous strand or as individual or a plurality of contacts in one or more switching points (22). The invention can be applied for rigid or flexible solar cells, particularly those produced using thin film technology. Said solar cells can also be individual, discrete solar cells, or also a plurality of so-called monolithically interconnected solar cells on a common substrate material.

Abstract: The invention is a single use syringe having an integrated mechanism to prevent its reuse, by manual intentional destruction after use, by an easy move. This prevents the reuse of syringes which may result in disease transmission if it is contaminated. It prevents auto destruction at an unwanted period so that it can be used for multiple purposes like blood aspiration and injection for a single patient and then dispose it as the medical staff stop attending that individual,thus saving valuable resources and generating less plastic waste. The manufacturing process is simple and brings not much added cost or special training for operation. The step for destruction is simple and quick without the aid of any special equipment, additional staff or electricity.
