Title: Photovoltaic cells
Inventor: BARNHAM KEITH WILLIAM JOHN
IPC: H01L31/047
Filed: 2006-09-26
Granted: 2015-12-22
Abstract: A photovoltaic device comprises an upper cell and a lower cell separated by an electrically insulating layer. The cells and the layers are fabricated as a single monolithic structure, and separate electrical contacts are provided for the upper and lower cells to allow independent extraction of current from each cell. The upper cell has a larger bandgap than the lower cell so that incident low energy photons unabsorbed and unconverted by the upper cell can propagate through to the lower cell for conversion. The two bandgaps can be selected to accommodate spectral' ranges of interest. The device is incorporated into a system including two sources of photons with different wavelength ranges associated with the bandgaps of the two cells, such that each cell can convert photons from one source. One source may be the sun and the other may be a local photon source such as a thermal source. Alternatively, both photon sources may be local sources. Operation of the device can be further optimised and extended by configuring the upper cell as a tandem cell or in a MIMS  arrangement, or both.

Abstract: A nurse receiver header for an agricultural planting implement is cooperable with a nurse mechanism that conveys a stream of seeds entrained in an air stream from a central hopper. A receiver is positioned at the planting mechanism to receive the seeds entrained in the air stream and accumulate a supply of the seeds for utilization by the associated planting mechanism. The receiver header may include a vent for dissipating the air stream when receiving the seeds for distribution to the receiver. The vent is provided with a hood to keep contaminants from entering the vent and passing into the planting mechanism. The receiver header is positioned so that an appropriate supply of seeds for the planting mechanism fills the tube between the receiver header and the receiver including the vent, resulting in a decreased volume of discharged air for the air stream and a diminished ability for the nurse mechanism to convey seeds. The receiver header can be configured to service multiple receivers. The receiver header is mounted at an angle inclined to the vertical when in an operating position such that the receiver header can be rotated through an angle in the range of 70 - 110 degrees to a transport position without inverting the receiver header, thereby retaining the seeds accumulated in the receiver.

Abstract: There is provided a discharge-lamp lighting device that, upon start-up of a high-intensity discharge lamp 7, alternately outputs a period A during which a starting circuit 6 applies a high voltage to the high-intensity discharge lamp 7 by resonance operation when a DC/AC inverter 5 outputs a high-frequency voltage, and a period B during which the DC/AC inverter 5 applies a low-frequency-square-wave voltage or a DC voltage to the high-intensity discharge lamp 7 via the starting circuit 6. The period A for applying the high voltage by the resonance operation is set to about a time enough for a high-intensity discharge lamp in an initial aging stage to cause a dielectric breakdown, and a period C for alternately outputting the high-voltage generating period A and the period B for outputting the low-frequency-square-wave voltage or the DC voltage is set to about a time enough for a high-intensity discharge lamp in a life's last stage to cause a dielectric breakdown.

Granted: 2014-06-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a converter (4), in particular for wind energy installations, having a generator (3) which is driven by a wind rotor (2) in order to feed electrical power into a power supply system (9), with the converter (4) having a control input (44) for the phase angle of the electrical power emitted to the power supply system. The invention provides a phase control device (6), which has a power supply system fault detector (63), a phase angle detector (61) and a signal processing module (67). When a power supply system fault with a determined phase error is detected, a signal for a default angle of the converter (4) is applied to the control input (44) of the converter. As a result, the phase change which occurs at the end of the power supply system disturbance does not lead to an undesirable sudden surge in the power output.

Abstract: A method for producing an orthopaedic implant having enhanced fatigue strength. A forged implant substrate having an elongated stem is incorporated with a melting point lowering substance. Then, metal particles are sintered to the substrate, forming a porous layer on the substrate which enhances bone ingrowth or the mechanical interlock with bone cement. Advantageously, the sintering occurs at a lower temperature than if the substance were not incorporated into the substrate, which in turn results in an enhanced fatigue strength of the inventive implant. The fatigue strength of a forged or cast implant can also be improved by nitrogen diffusion hardening and/or thermally processing the implant after the porous coating is adhered by sintering. Further, the fatigue strength can be further improved by combining incorporating the melting point lowering substance with nitrogen diffusion hardening and/or aging treatment subsequent to sintering.
