Inventor: DEPINE NICOLE
IPC: H01L31/00
Filed: 2006-07-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing weather-resistant laminates (1, 1') for encapsulating solar cell systems (7). The inventive method is characterised in that at least one weather-resistant plastic layer (2, 2') is applied to a carrier material (4, 4'). The inventive coating method is advantageous in that the relatively expensive starting products, which are normally used in the form of films, can be reduced in the thickness and numbers thereof. The inventive laminate, which is produced according to said method, can be used in a plurality of ways due to the controllable adjustment of the layer thickness of the weather-resistant layer (2, 2'), in particular in connection with the finished photovoltaic modules. Said uses range from small energy plants for emergency telephones or camping cars to large-surfaced roof and façade systems and also large plants and solar power stations.

Patent CA-2619070-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCAFFIDI SALVATORE GREGORY JR
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2006-08-14
Abstract: An arrangement for installing function drivers that provide communication between computer applications and various peripheral devices employs a master driver that is loaded for each peripheral device. The master drivers receive notification of the connection of the respective peripheral devices and, in time, load the proper function drivers. Each function driver has (1) an interface part that communicates with an application and (2) a peripheral part that communicates with the peripheral device associated with that application.  When a device is disconnected, the associated function driver is notified and, in response, the driver discontinues operations of its peripheral part and retains operation of its interface part.

Title: Integrated materials management for commercial aircraft fleets including access to real-time on-board systems information
Inventor: AVERY ROBERT L
IPC: G01M17/00
Filed: 2006-11-16
Abstract: Turnkey maintenance of a customer's aircraft fleet is managed by a single management service provider (MSP) controlling integrated maintenance and materials services from a central operations site. The MSP converts data received directly from on-board aircraft systems into information it uses to manage maintenance service providers and parts suppliers. The MSP contracts with and manages maintenance, repair and overhaul organizations (MROs) who perform the maintenance on the customers' aircraft at line and base stations.  The MSP either remotely manages part inventories at the customer's site, or manages suppliers who deliver the parts to the MROs. Maintenance planning, scheduling and execution information is exchanged between the MSP, MROs, part suppliers and the customers through a shared data communication network controlled by the MSP. The MSP charges the customer for the maintenance services based on a flat rate per unit of aircraft flying time.

Title: Validating user identity by cooperation between core network and access controller
Inventor: NYLANDER TOMAS
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2005-12-23
Abstract: An identifier, required by a radio access network controller in order to support resource allocation associated with a predetermined condition, is sent from a core network to the radio access network controller independently of the predetermined condition. The identifier is thus available to the radio access network controller for verification of mobile user identity, regardless of whether it is needed to support resource allocation. A radio access network controller can receive an identifier in a communication sent by a core network according to a communication protocol. The radio access network controller terminates the communication protocol to access the communication, and uses the identifier for verification of mobile user identity.

Title: Apparatus for hydroelectric power production expansion
Inventor: KELLY WILLIAM LOWELL
IPC: F03B13/08
Filed: 2008-12-19
Abstract: Normally hydroelectric dam powerhouses use river flow once before discharging it as turbulent tailwater, ineffective to spin turbines. The present invention uses tapered channels to confine and constrict turbulent tailwater into laminar flow that drives turbines both submersible and floatable utilizing the same water three times concurrently to generate new electricity.  Channels originate adjacent to draft tube outlets, constrict in the downstream direction to create narrow necks where turbine/generators benefit from debris free, increased velocity and laminar flows to generate electricity. Hydroelectricity uses zero fuel, creates zero waste and has zero carbon dioxide emissions. Structures are uncomplicated, construction is within project boundaries minimizing environmental impacts and speeding projects coming online. New facilities are protected by existing dam security.    Hydroelectricity replaces less dependable renewable energy systems.
