摘要:
A method of manufacturing a solar cell by providing a gallium arsenide carrier with a prepared bonding surface; providing a sapphire substrate; bonding the gallium arsenide carrier and the sapphire substrate to produce a composite structure; detaching the bulk of the gallium arsenide carrier from the composite structure, leaving a gallium arsenide growth substrate on the sapphire substrate; and depositing a sequence of layers of semiconductor material forming a solar cell on the growth substrate. For some solar cells, the method further includes mounting a surrogate second substrate on top of the sequence of layers of semiconductor material forming a solar cell; and removing the growth substrate.

摘要:
A hypodermic syringe with a snap fitted handle grip retained on the syringe by a cam lug. A spring biased plunger of the syringe is attached to a metering rod extending longitudinally along side the plunger and through a guide passage in the handle grip. This metering rod has a circumferentially gripping spring stop that is manually slidable along the metering rod to set a particular dosage for the pumping syringe. A dispensing end of the syringe is connected to a double check valve system which is in turn connected to a reservoir container. This syringe pumping system is useful in hospital pharmacies for filling a series of smaller syringes or vials with metered dosages of diluent of medicament from a larger bulk reservoir container. It is also useful for hospital procedures, such as a thoracentesis, or other industrial or laboratory uses.

摘要:
A process, system, and manufacture are provided for decreasing the amount of treatment a patient requires from a first care-giver. In at least one example, the system comprises a means for receiving a set of records, and the set of records includes at least one representing a treatment prescribed by the first care-giver, and at least one representing at least one patient characteristic. There is also a means for determining, from the set of records, independently of records relating to effectiveness of the treatment prescribed for the patient, and based on a predetermined set of screening criteria, whether a different treatment is appropriate. Further, a means is provided for generating, based on the screening, an eligibility tag associated with the patient for providing notice to the patient associated with the eligibility tag of the different treatment availability at no cost to the patient and of a financial consequence of receipt of the treatment.
