摘要： Liquid-semiconductor photocells have received attention recently for use in solar power devices. Alternatives to single crystal semiconductors have been sought to reduce the cost of the photocells. According to this invention, the semiconductor is made from a pressure sintered and vapor annealed semiconductor. The electrode is relatively inexpensive to make and the efficiency of the solar cell compares favorably to the efficiency of solar cells using single crystal electrodes.

摘要： A semiconductor liquid junction photocell using a photoactive electrode comprising GaAs has greatly improved solar energy to electrically conversion efficiency when compared to prior art semiconductor liquid junction photocells using GaAs electrodes. The improved efficiency is obtained by material, such as ruthenium, cobalt, rhodium or lead, on the electrode surface. Efficiency is still further increased by texturizing the surface of the GaAs electrode prior to addition of the material. Efficiencies under AM1 conditions are approximately 12 percent.

摘要： Liquid-semiconductor photocells using chalcogenide semiconductors have been advanced recently to the point where they compete favorably with silicon devices for solar power conversion. However, in common with silicon devices, the semiconductor needs to be a single crystal. This fact makes solar power impractically expensive. According to this invention, the chalcogenide semiconductor is made by anodizing cadmium or bismuth in a sulfide, selenide or telluride electrolyte. The anodized element, when operated photovoltaically in an electrolyte similar to the anodizing solution, produces useful power conversion and is relatively inexpensive.

摘要： The ruthenium compound [Ru.sub.2 N(H.sub.2 O).sub.2 Cl.sub.8 ]K.sub.3 is prepared by refluxing a mixture of hydrated water soluble ruthenium chloride, having approximately 40% ruthenium content, and sulphamic acid, the latter having approximately half the molar concentration of the former, for several hours and then precipitating the desired compound by adding solutions of potassium chloride and hydrochloric acid. Electrical contacts on the reeds of sealed reed switches produced by electroplating from an aqueous solution of the salt produced in this manner are found to be particularly resistant to the thermal shock involved in the sealing of the switches.

摘要： A quality control technique is based on the observation that trapping centers contribute to inefficient operation of junction devices. Devices are irradiated by a first radiation source of intensity sufficient to populate traps and a second radiation source of varying wavelength. Trapping centers are detected by a deviation from the expected photovoltaic output-incident wavelength relationship. Such "structure" is utilized as the basis for altering production conditions to minimize currents of such centers. While the procedure is of general applicability, it is particularly suitable as applied to photovoltaic cells.

摘要： Liquid-semiconductor photocells are described which produce a stable photocurrent output over extended periods of time by controllably removing material from the semiconductor surface in such a manner as to maintain the integrity of the junction characteristics. The removal may be either by photoetching or by chemical reaction with the electrolyte or with agents added to the electrolyte.

摘要： An analyte monitor includes a sensor, a sensor control unit, and a display unit. The sensor has, for example, a substrate, a recessed channel formed in the substrate, and conductive material disposed in the recessed channel to form a working electrode. The sensor control unit typically has a housing adapted for placement on skin and is adapted to receive a portion of an electrochemical sensor. The sensor control unit also includes two or more conductive contacts disposed on the housing and configured for coupling to two or more contact pads on the sensor. A transmitter is disposed in the housing and coupled to the plurality of conductive contacts for transmitting data obtained using the sensor. The display unit has a receiver for receiving data transmitted by the transmitter of the sensor control unit and a display coupled to the receiver for displaying an indication of a level of an analyte. The analyte monitor may also be part of a drug delivery system to alter the level of the analyte based on the data obtained using the sensor.
