Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for producing solar panels having an antireflective film designed to capture more incident light. The film increases the transmission of light through the film and a substrate by reducing the amount of light reflected and by minimizing optical loss in the film and at the interfaces. By allowing more incident light to transmit to the underlying solar cells, the solar panel can produce more electricity, thereby operating at a higher efficiency. The process uses lamination, particularly thermal lamination, to apply a light capturing film onto the front surface of a solar panel. The tight capturing film comprises of a cross-linked fluoropolymer antireflective coating on top of an optically clear carrier film.

Abstract: A pipe assembly including secondary leak containment and leak indication is described with particular reference to a lubricant-carrying pipe for supplying oil to an internal bearing chamber in a gas turbine engine. The oil pipe crosses a hot gas zone to a manifold on the engine inner casing so that an oil leak is a potential fire hazard. The connection into the bearing chamber manifold includes a secondary containment system that ensures that any leakage from the oil pipe seal is contained within an interstitial space between the pipe and a co-axial, secondary containment member. The interstitial space opens into a relatively safe zone outside the outer engine casing where the fire or safety hazard is eliminated or does not exist.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling the speed of a fan equipping an electronic device and being used to cool it. A speed control value is calculated according to the temperature measured within the electronic device. This command value being limited to a maximum determined value, in such a manner that the fan is not audible. The method comprises a measurement step of the ambient sound level. If the ambient sound level exceeds a determined threshold then the speed of the fan is increased as the ambient sound covers the sound of the fan, even at great speed. An improvement consists in that during the introduction of a sound lowering command, the speed of the fan immediately returns below the maximum value. 
     The present invention also relates to the device implementing the method.

Abstract: An improved signal processor is disclosed which is suitable for convergence processing of images that achieves parallel processing with a smaller bus structure. An arithmetic array is provided which is formed of twenty arithmetic cells capable of concurrently operating. Each arithmetic cell is specified by a denotation of E[x(column number),y(row number)] where the column number x is 1 <= x <= M and the row number y is 1 <= y <= M+1, M being an integer such that M >= 2. Each arithmetic cell has a multiplier and an adder for multiply-add operation. An arithmetic cell, specified by E[x,y] where 2 <= x <= M and x+1 <= y <= M+1, receives data from an E[x-1, y] arithmetic cell via a direct bus as well as from an E[x-1, y-1] arithmetic cell via an oblique bus. For example, a group of CELLS A1, B1, C1, D1, B2, C2, D2, C3, D3, and D4 that are interconnected together by BUSES 109 and 110 to form a tree structure operates independently of a group of CELLS P1, Q1, R1, S1, Q2, R2, S2, R3, S3, and S4 that are interconnected together by BUSES 109 and 110 to form a tree structure. This allows for one of the groups to perform horizontal filter processing and for the other group to perform vertical filter processing.
