A method and apparatus for mounting solar panels is provided. Preferably, the apparatus includes a base, a solar panel receiving structure, and a support structure coupling the base to the solar panel receiving structure such that the solar panel receiving structure is at least one of elevated and angled relative to the base. The solar panel receiving structure preferably includes a base member, a first side member coupled to the base member, and a second side member coupled to the base member. Preferably, the first side member and the second side member are slotted so as to slidably receive at least one solar panel between the first side member, the second side member, and the base member.
摘要:
A metallic composite coating, and methods for forming same, for an implantable medical device is disclosed. The composite coating comprises at least one metal or metallic tie layer formed on the surface of the device, followed by an electroless electrochemical cladding of one or more additional layers over the tie layer. One or more therapeutic or biologically active agents are co-deposited with at least one of the electroless electrochemical claddings.

A modular conveyor belt and belt attachment members that are retained by hinge rods. The attachment members have a body with opposite outer and base surfaces. Interaction elements, such as high-friction surfaces, plates, or holddown wings, extend from the outer surface. The base surface mounts flush against a conveying surface or an opposite surface of the belt. Legs extend directly from the base surface into gaps between hinge elements extending longitudinally outward of conveyor belt modules forming the belt. Feet at distal ends of the legs hook under hinge rods to retain the attachment member firmly in place. The lateral spacings between the legs are related to the geometry of the hinge elements to register the attachment element with respect to the belt.
摘要:
A method on a central information processing system evaluates financial health of suppliers of a business entity by checking a central repository to determine whether a current financial health report exists for a supplier and if not, determines whether criteria have been satisfied to require the supplier to purchase the financial health report without financial assistance from the business entity. Upon satisfaction of criteria, the method receives a first request from the supplier for information concerning requirements for becoming a supplier, sends the requested information to the supplier, upon the supplier approving the information, transfers a second request from the supplier to a financial health reporting service to have a supplier financial health report sent to the business entity at the supplier's expense, sends contact information of the business entity to the reporting service for automatic affiliation with the supplier request, and receives the report directly from the reporting service.
摘要:
A shoe rack for mounting to an upright surface, or for hanging over a door, includes a pair of plastic, vertical side frame members and a plurality of shoe-retaining bars positioned between the side frame members upon which shoes, boxes and the like may be supported. A number of different embodiments are shown, each of which incorporates different features, and each of which may result in improved structural integrity over the prior art. Further, each embodiment may result in a product that is less expensive to manufacture and may result in a product which retains shoes on the shoe rack in a different, or better, manner.
摘要:
Various improvements in the fabrication of an antifuse having silicon-amorphous silicon-metal layer structure are presented. Included are improved deposition techniques for the amorphous silicon layer. The improvements include steps for the fabrication of such an antifuse without the use of platinum and the resulting antifuse and contact structures.
