Patent ES-2150887-A1 (ES)
Title: Producing thin film photovoltaic modules with high integrity interconnects and dual layer contacts
Inventor: JANSEN KAI W
IPC: H01L27/142
Filed: 1999-07-13
Abstract: High performance photovoltaic modules are produced with improved interconnects by a special process. Advantageously, the photovoltaic modules have a dual layer back (rear) contact and a front contact with at least one layer. The front contact and the inner layer of the back contact can comprise a transparent conductive oxide. The outer layer of the back contact can comprise a metal or metal oxide. The front contact can also have a dielectric layer. In one form, the dual layer back contact comprises a zinc oxide inner layer and an aluminum outer layer and the front contact comprises a tin oxide inner layer and a silicon dioxide dielectric outer layer. One or more amorphous silicon-containing thin film semiconductors can be deposited between the front and back contacts. The contacts can be positioned between a substrate and an optional superstrate. During production, the transparent conductive oxide layer of the front contact is scribed by a laser, then the amorphous silicon-containing semiconductors and inner layer of the dual layer back contact are simultaneously scribed and trenched (drilled) by the laser and the trench is subsequently filled with the same metal as the outer layer of the dual layer back contact to provide a superb mechanical and electrical interconnect between the front contact and the outer layer of the dual layer back contact. The outer layer of the dual layer back contact can then be scribed by the laser. For enhanced environmental protection, the photovoltaic modules can be encapsulated.

Patent WO-8603922-A1 (WO)
Title: Video compression method
Inventor: HAIKONEN PENTTI
IPC: H04N7/36
Filed: 1985-12-05
Abstract: Video compression method to be employed in connection with the conditional replenishment transmission and receiving method. In the transmitter there are detected such areas of the image that are changed with respect to the previous image, and the picture information representing the occurred changes, along with the addresses of the respective picture areas, is sent into the transmission channel. In the receiver there is reconstructed the new image on the basis of the previous image and the picture information representing the occurred changes. According to the invention, both in the transmitter and the receiver there is employed at least one reference memory (6; 14) where into a reference image of the transmitted picture information is stored and which reference memory is used so that whenever the transmitter recognizes a picture area to have changed, it is checked whether the changed picture information corresponds to the information stored in the respective location in the reference memory; if the answer is positive, the transmitter sends a code word informing the receiver that the required picture information must be picked from the reference memory; if the answer is negative, the picture information representing the changes occurred in the picture area is transmitted.

Inventor: MYLLAERI ESA
IPC: B32B3/06
Filed: 1990-01-22
Abstract: Le procédé décrit sert à fabriquer un matériau stratifié flexible enroulable en rouleau et comportant une couche intermédiaire (2) en plastique et des couches de surface (1, 3) disposées en strates sur les faces opposées de la couche intermédiaire et résistant à tout changement à la température de ramollissement du matériau de la couche intermédiaire (2). On forme le matériau stratifié en joignant au moins deux bandes stratifiées allongées (4) composées des mêmes couches, cette opération étant effectuée le long des bords longitudinaux (4a) des bandes. Pour assurer cette jonction, les deux bandes adjacentes (4) présentent dans une zone marginale (4a) d'une largeur prédéterminée une épaisseur réduite comparée à la zone médiane de la bande, ce qui est dû au fait que l'extension de l'une (3) des couches de surface (1, 3) n'étire pas le bord le plus extérieur de la bande. La jonction est effectuée de sorte que les surfaces des zones marginales (4a) exposées adjacentes aux couches de surface (3) sont placées ensemble l'une contre l'autre et sont thermoscellées au moyen du matériau de la couche intermédiaire (2), formant ainsi au moins l'une des surfaces des zones marginales. Un matériau stratifié dépassant une largeur de trois mètres peut être fabriqué par ce procédé.

Title: Determination of level of cold liquid, particularly cryogenic liquid, comprises measuring voltage change across resistance during heating and cooling
Inventor: BOREL CHARLES
IPC: G01F23/24
Filed: 2000-04-19
Abstract: At least one resistance detector (4) is fixed inside a container of cold liquid (2). As the liquid is heated, the detector is also heated and the variation in voltage across its terminals is measured. The voltage variation is then measured as the liquid cools and the measured variation is compared to a reference variation to determine the level of the liquid.  A number of resistance detectors are mounted in series up the inside of the container to determine the level using a pseudo-continuous measurement. The variation in voltage is compared to a reference variation corresponding to the detector immersed or not immersed in the liquid to determine if the liquid reaches the detector or not. The heating and measuring phases are repeated successively to detect if the results vary. During measurement, the resistance detector is supplied with a measuring current smaller than the heating current. An Independent claim is also included for a device for carrying out the above measuring process. The measuring system (5) includes a heating current supply (7) to the detector and means (9) of measuring the voltage variation during cooling, and means (11) of controlling these. Means (12) of comparing the voltage variation with a reference value are also present. Each resistance detector contains a compressed carbon resistance. The means of comparing the voltage variation is connected to a means (13) of displaying the liquid level. There are also means (8) of supplying a measuring current smaller than the heating current to the detector. The means of measuring has circuits (91, 92) to allow measurement of voltage at different instants, connected to the outlet of a circuit differentiator (93), giving the difference between the two instants at the detector terminals. The liquid is liquefied hydrogen or helium.
