| 20110214719 | METHOD OF FABRICATING A BACK-CONTACT SOLAR CELL AND DEVICE THEREOF - Methods of fabricating back-contact solar cells and devices thereof are described. A method of fabricating a back-contact solar cell includes forming an N-type dopant source layer and a P-type dopant source layer above a material layer disposed above a substrate. The N-type dopant source layer is spaced apart from the P-type dopant source layer. The N-type dopant source layer and the P-type dopant source layer are heated. Subsequently, a trench is formed in the material layer, between the N-type and P-type dopant source layers. | 09-08-2011 |

| 20080263089 | Transaction-Based Storage System and Method That Uses Variable Sized Objects to Store Data - The present invention provides a storage system for storing variable sized objects. The storage system is preferably a transaction-based system that uses variable sized objects to store data. The storage system is preferably implemented using arrays disks that are arranged in ranks. Each rank includes multiple stripes. Each stripe may be read and written as a convenient unit for maximum performance. A rank manager is able to dynamically configure the ranks to adjust for failed and added disks by selectively shortening and lengthening the stripes. The storage system may include a stripe space table that contains entries describing the amount of space used in each stripe. An object map provides entries for each object in the storage system describing the location (e.g., rank, stripe and offset values), the length and version of the object. A volume index translates regions of logical storage into object identifiers. The storage system may implement various types of formats such as I-node, binary tree and extendible hashing formats. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090204859 | Systems, methods and computer program products including features for coding and/or recovering data - Systems and methods are disclosed for processing data. In one exemplary implementation, there is provided a method of generating H output data streams from W data input streams produced from input data. Moreover, the method may include generating the H discrete output data streams via application of the W data inputs to one or more transforming components or processes having specified mathematic operations and/or a generator matrix functionality, wherein the W data inputs are recoverable via a recovery process capable of reproducing the W data inputs from a subset (any W members) of the H output data streams. Further exemplary implementations may comprise a transformation process that includes producing an H-sized intermediary for each of the W inputs, combining the H-sized intermediaries into an H-sized result, and processing the H-sized result into the H output data streams. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20100205231 | TRANSACTION-BASED STORAGE SYSTEM AND METHOD THAT USES VARIABLE SIZED OBJECTS TO STORE DATA - Aspects of the innovations herein are consistent with a storage system for storing variable sized objects. The storage system may be a transaction-based system that uses variable sized objects to store data. The storage system may be implemented using arrays disks that are arranged in ranks. Each rank may include multiple stripes. Each stripe may be read and written as a convenient unit for maximum performance. A rank manager may be provided to dynamically configure the ranks to adjust for failed and added disks by selectively shortening and lengthening the stripes.

| 20100288832 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONSUMER CONTROL OVER CARD-BASED TRANSACTIONS - A system and method for consumer control over card-based transactions and associated accounts. An interface is provided between a merchant or the merchant's bank and the bank or banks at which the consumer has accounts for card-based transactions. The interface acts as an intermediary which is accessible to the consumer so that the consumer may place a variety of controls on card-based transactions. For example, multiple transaction cards may be linked to a single credit account with each card having a different credit limit. As another example, each transaction card may be restricted to a particular merchant. As yet another example, a consumer may link several credit and/or debit accounts to a single transaction card; the consumer may pre-select criteria to be utilized for directing charges for a particular transaction to be applied the different accounts. The consumer may access the interface via a web site or a telephone for making changes and receiving account information. Flexibility and control over the use of transaction cards is, therefore, provided for card-based transactions and for debit and credit accounts used in connection with such card-based transactions. | 11-18-2010 |
