| 20090186572 | AIR DISTRIBUTING APPARATUS FOR REDUCING ENERGY CONSUMPTION - The invention involves an air distributing apparatus for installation in a diffuser. The apparatus includes a first damper positioned within the diffuser. The first damper also has an open mode where a stream of air can exit the diffuser to a space. The first damper has a closed mode where the damper inhibits the stream of air from exiting the diffuser. The apparatus includes an actuator operatively connected to the first damper. There is an occupancy sensor positioned and configured to distinguish whether the space is occupied or unoccupied by a person. The occupancy sensor is in communication with the actuator. When the space is occupied by the person, the occupancy sensor communicates with the actuator to thereby cause the first damper to be positioned in the open mode. When the space is unoccupied, the occupancy sensor communicates with the actuator to thereby cause the first damper to be positioned in the closed mode. A remote temperature sensor varies the volume of supply air entering the space depending on the prevailing air conditioning load. | 07-23-2009 |

| 20100126580 | CdTe deposition process for solar cells - An inexpensive system is provided for manufacturing a CdTe solar cell in a single pass using sputtering without the need for a wet process and without the need for high temperature gas diffusion. Thus, toxic gases and wet chemical baths are advantageously eliminated. A halogen gas, such as chlorine, and oxygen are added during the sputtering of a CdTe film, so that a wet process is eliminated and the deposited CdTe film can be annealed rapidly, such as by a rapid thermal anneal process (RTA). | 05-27-2010 |
| 20110017265 | Photovoltaic module with conductive cooling and enhanced reflection - A thermally conductive material is provided adjacent to or close to the active light-absorbing surface in silicon PV modules made with x-Si or p-Si cells or in thin film PV modules. The material is characterized by high thermal conduction and emissivity as well as high reflectance with respect to the solar spectrum. An exterior portion of the thermally conductive material is wrapped around the rearward facing, shaded surface of the PV module, thereby defining a thermal gradient for conduction of heat from the interior of the PV module to the cooler exterior, where heat is dissipated into the ambient surroundings. The thermally conductive, highly reflective material may be incorporated in or otherwise integrated with a lamination material used to adhere the back sheet to the front sheet of a thin film PV module. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110017266 | Thin film photovoltaic module having a lamination layer for enhanced reflection and photovoltaic output - An improved thin film PV module and simplified fabrication process are provided that achieve higher PV module efficiency, while eliminating expensive process steps, and reducing the capital cost of thin film processing equipment. A lamination material, characterized by high reflectivity as well as thermal conductivity and emissivity, is provided directly adjacent the active region of a thin film stack, eliminating the need for complex sputtering or deposition process steps ordinarily required for providing a reflective layer. The lamination material reflects unabsorbed light back into the thin film stack thereby increasing photocurrent generation, and obviating the need for a reflective metallization layer. The lamination layer and back sheet for sealing the light-absorbing stack against the ingress of moisture also can be applied in a single process step. | 01-27-2011 |

| 20090241321 | Spark Plug Construction - An adapter, used with a spark plug body and an engine block, is disclosed. The body defines an axis and has adjacent one end, a coaxial metal ring. A coaxial metal tube extends from the ring towards the other body end and is threaded in said block in use. An insulator, having a portion inside the tube, extends axially, from inside the tube, beyond the ring, and has a void therethrough. A positive electrode occupies the void and extends axially beyond the insulator to a terminus. In use, the adapter is secured to said body and comprises: a positive electrode extender in electrically-conducting relation to the positive electrode and a ground electrode extender in electrically-conducting contacting relation to the ring. The adapter is configured such that a gap defined between the positive and ground extenders comprises a channel which opens axially away from said body and is substantially unobstructed axially. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20090113392 | DETECTING PLUG-IN AND FRAGMENT ISSUES WITH SOFTWARE PRODUCTS - The present invention comprises utility capable of detecting various issues with plug-ins and fragments in Eclipse and Eclipse-based products. In order to find issues, the utility first seeks information about the sites available in the given product. Once the sites have been located, the utility seeks information about the plug-ins and fragments in each site that are expected to resolve in the product. Once the utility has determined what particular plug-ins and fragments are expected to resolve in each site, it parses both the text and XML manifest of each candidate plug-in and fragments in order to gather the following information: Once the above information of each candidate plug-in and fragment has been gathered, the utility analyzes the particular information in details and performs a series of tests to find whether the candidate plug-ins and fragments have issues. For each issue that the utility finds, a detailed explanation regarding the particular issue, cause and details leading to resolution of the issue is provided in an interactive HTML based report which is given to the user at the end of the investigation. | 04-30-2009 |

| 20090187823 | AUTOMATED SOLUTION THAT DETECTS CONFIGURATION PROBLEMS IN AN ECLIPSE-BASED SOFTWARE APPLICATION - The present invention discloses an automated method for detecting configuration problems in an ECLIPSE-based software application. Such a method can begin with the receipt of a user-command to test a configuration of an ECLIPSE-based software application or with a detection of a feature addition/update when an auto-testing feature is enabled. Information about the available sites for the ECLIPSE-based application can then be obtained. Then, a list of software elements required to operate the ECLIPSE-based software application can be compiled. At least one data attribute can be extracted from the meta data of each software element in the compiled list. The extracted data attributes can then be analyzed. When the analysis identifies a configuration problem, the existence of the configuration problem can be validated. | 07-23-2009 |
