Title: Photovoltaic module with a wind suction securing device and method of production
Inventor: SCHWARZE SASCHA O
IPC: H01L31/02
Filed: 2009-02-11
Abstract: Although a known composite in photovoltaics provides for a photovoltaic panel and substrate to be connected by means of connectors in order to avoid deflection, these are of one piece and permanently adhesively bonded, so that a destruction-free release is not possible. With the invention, two-part wind suction securing devices (08) with an upper part (10) and a lower part (11) are used to protect the bendable photovoltaic panel (02) from deflection upwards as a result of wind suction loads, which wind suction securing devices are in each case connected securely to the photovoltaic panel (02) or to the substrate (05) but are connected releasably to each other. This produces a secure but releasable composite of PV panel (02) and substrate (05), which allows the photovoltaic panel (02) to be removed at any time but nevertheless protects it reliably from damage by impinging wind suction loads. Preferred embodiments of the wind suction securing device (08) have connections between upper and lower part (10, 11) according to the bayonet or snap-fastening principle or with an omega spring (24). A method for particularly simple application of the wind suction securing devices (08) first positions the lower parts (11) on the substrate (05), then connects the upper parts (10), provides these with adhesive and then applies the photovoltaic panel (02).

Inventor: CHELF JONATHAN DAVID
IPC: E04H15/20
Filed: 2007-06-27
Abstract: A set of methods and apparatus for efficiently pressurizing and ventilating an air- supported greenhouse or other structure requiring pressurization and ventilation. A method for efficiently pressurizing and ventilating an air-supported structure comprises directing any external wind flow and external wind pressure into mechanical flow means, such as a fan, or fans in parallel, operating in the intake direction, and into the internal space of the air-supported structure and out of the internal space of the air-supported structure through internal pressure regulating exhaust means, whereby the internal space of the structure will be ventilated and pressurized with the assistance of any external wind and the reliability of mechanical flow means (fans). This method allows for the efficient, effective, and economical cooling, through ventilation, of a protected space created by a light permeable membrane (cover), which is supported only by internal air pressure against the weight of the membrane and dynamic pressures of the external wind, itself. Apparatus for directing any external wind flow and external wind pressure into mechanical flow means are disclosed. Methods and apparatus for internal pressure regulation are also disclosed. Some benefits are less power consumption, minimal internal static pressure (just enough to overcome the external wind), less potential film breakage (than conventional frame- supported poly greenhouses), more light transmission, less cost, and more portability.

Abstract: Thermochromatic dyes may be added to compositions to be applied to skin in order to indicate where the composition is applied. After application to the skin the composition will turn from colored to colorless in a short period of time as its temperature rises in response to the curing reaction and to heat from the skin. The dyes are microencapsulated in order to avoid migration of the dye into the wound and to remain protected and functional. The dyes are selected such that they have a transition temperature between room temperature and that of the skin.

Title: Method and apparatus for converting ocean wave energy into electricity
Inventor: HENCH STEVEN C
IPC: F03B13/14
Filed: 2007-07-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus for harnessing power associated with ocean waves and converting that power into electricity. The apparatus is a buoy that houses a vertically oriented central shaft, a pendulum, and a generator. As the buoy tilts from the vertical under the influence of wave motion, the pendulum is accelerated and rotates about the central shaft. A centrally-placed generator is mechanically coupled to, and driven by, the rotating pendulum so that the pendulum's kinetic energy is converted into electricity. The electricity may be stored at or near the buoy or transferred to a remote facility. Moreover, a fin array located along the bottom of the buoy serves as an anti- torque mechanism and improves the operational efficiency of the electricity production. The method involves employing use of the centrally located generator and the fin array to efficiently harness wave power.
