摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention relate to fabricating low cost polysilicon solar cell on flexible substrates using inkjet printing. Particular embodiments form polycrystalline or microcrystalline silicon solar cells on substrates utilizing liquid silane, by employing inkjet printing or other low cost commercial printing techniques including but not limited to screen printing, roller coating, gravure coating, curtain coating, spray coating and others. Specific embodiments employ silanes such as cyclopentasilane (C5H10) or cyclohexasilane (C6H12), which are liquids at room temperature but undergo a ring opening chemical reaction upon exposure to radiation of a wavelength of ultraviolet (UV) or shorter. . Opening of the rings of the liquid silane converts it into a polymerized material comprising saturated and unsaturated silicon chains of varied length. Heating to approximately 250-400° C. converts these materials into a hydrogenated amorphous silicon film. Controlled annealing at higher effective temperatures causes the amorphous film to change phase to polycrystalline or microcrystalline silicon, depending upon specific processing conditions.

A method for bonding together liquid crystal cells using a transparent grease. The grease maintains a level of viscosity appropriate for physically bonding the cells while matching the indices of refraction of the cells or cell layers for proper optical coupling.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for monitoring windlass rotation are provided to determine the real time rate and length of rode release when anchoring a boat. The rotation can be monitored in real time using directional sound and/or electromagnetic radiation receivers and/or transmitter in a module attached to the windlass. Another windlass module can monitor windlass rotation using micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) components such as accelerometers, magnetometers, gyroscopes, and/or inertial measurement units (IMU) to sense motion and/or position.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for anchoring a boat are described. Novel methods provide means for sensing and measuring the real time rate and length of rode release based on detecting real time changes in the angular position of a windlass by computer vision using a portable computing device. Rode release is also detected using novel methods based on sensing sound, rode chain movement, and sensing acceleration and/or motion. The apparatus can include software operable to provide safe anchoring based on monitoring real times values of the rate and length of rode release, comparing these values to the speed and position of the boat, and providing local and remote status and alarm information to crew members.

摘要:
A voltage-programmable device in which the programming voltage V.sub.p and the "off" resistance R.sub.i are separately controlled. The device includes a body of semiconductor material having a doped region therein, and an amorphized layer in the doped region and abutting a surface, and a surface layer in the amorphized layer with the surface layer having a resistivity higher than the resistivity of the amorphized layer prior ot programming of the device. The surface layer has a miniscule thickness (on the order of 50-150 Angstroms) and does not affect the programming of the device. Moreover, the final resistance of the programmed device is not significantly affected by the presence of the first layer. The amorphized layer is formed by ion implantation, and the or by oxygen plasma treatment.
摘要:
An electrically programmable element is fabricated in a P-N junction isolated region of a semiconductor body by first extending the depth of the region in the body by introducing dopants through the region into the body by ion implantation or by diffusion and drive-in, and thereafter forming an amorphotized layer in the first region overlying the extended portion. The increased depth of the first region provided by the second region prevents damage to the P-N junction between the semiconductor body and the first region during formation of the amorphotized layer.
摘要:
P-glass is heated to reflowing temperature by the radiant heating of a material overlying the P-glass layer. The coating layer is chosen such that its reflectivity increases at its melting temperature, and that temperature corresponds to the P-glass reflow temperature. Increased radiant heating will not increase the energy absorbed by the coating because more of the radiation is reflected. The temperature of the coating is thus limited providing controlled conductive heating of the P-glass layer.
摘要:
The present invention relates to controlling progress of a dialogue session. The dialogue session is initiated by a calling Interactive Voice Response (IVR) either with a called IVR or with a called Voice Mail System (VMS). Various progress detectors are provided at the calling IVR to detect the progress at one or more steps of the dialogue session. Further, appropriate actions are executed based on the detected progress, for controlling the progress of the dialogue session. The detected progress is reported to a master application connected to the calling IVR. The master application controls the dialogue session based on the reported progress.
