| 20100206298 | SOLAR RECEIVERS AND SYSTEMS THEREOF - A solar receiver is disclosed and includes a housing having a front, radiation-facing, end and a rear end, the front end being formed with a cavity therein. A window is mounted at the front end of the housing and projects inside the cavity. A receiver chamber is defined within the cavity between the housing and the window. The receiver chamber has a working fluid inlet for ingress of working fluid to be heated therewithin, and a working fluid outlet for egress therethrough of the heated fluid. A solar absorber is within the receiver chamber for absorbing the solar radiation and heating the working fluid. The solar absorber includes at least one tubular member configured for maintaining fluid isolation between contents thereof and contents of the receiver chamber. The solar absorber is configured for heating working fluid within the receiver chamber exterior to the tubular member, and working fluid within the tubular member. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20110108435 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CHEMICAL POTENTIAL ENERGY PRODUCTION - The present invention relates to a system comprising a heat source to provide heat at the desired temperature and energy field (e.g. a solar concentrator); an electron source configured and operable to emit electrons; an electric field generator generating an electric field adapted to supply energy sufficient to dissociate gas molecules; and a reaction gas chamber configured and operable to cause interaction between the electrons with the molecules, such that the electrons dissociate the molecules to product compound and ions via dissociative electrons attachment (DEA) within the chamber. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110155124 | SOLAR RECEIVER SYSTEM - A solar receiver is provided, comprising a receiver housing extending along a longitudinal axis, having front and rear ends; a window configured to allow radiation to pass therethrough, the window being mounted at the front end and projecting within the housing; a receiver chamber defined between the housing and the window, the receiver chamber having a working fluid inlet for ingress of working fluid to be heated therewithin, and a working fluid outlet for egress therethrough of the heated working fluid; and a solar radiation absorber configured for absorbing the radiation and heating the working fluid thereby, the absorber being located within the receiver chamber and surrounding at least a portion of the window, the solar radiation absorber being formed with channels and made of a foam material, such as a ceramic or metallic foam material, having a characteristic average pore diameter. Each of the channels is open at a proximal, window-facing, end; extends radially within the absorber, and terminates at a distal end being closed by the material of the absorber. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20090012585 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LIGHT-BASED HAIR REMOVAL USING INCOHERENT LIGHT PULSES - Methods and apparatus for damaging hair follicles using a series of rapidly-delivered low-fluence pulses of coherent or incoherent light are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the pulses of coherent or incoherent light have a wavelength or wavelengths primarily in the range between 750 nm and 1500 nm. In some embodiments, applied electromagnetic radiation comprising the rapidly-delivered low-fluence pulses is effective for concomitantly heating both the sub-dermal layer (i.e. the dermis) of the tissue and the hair follicles. In some embodiments, the thermal damaging of the hair follicles is useful for facilitating hair-removal. | 01-08-2009 |

| 20110009783 | DEVICE FOR RF HEATING AND MECHANICAL MASSAGE OF BIOLOGICAL TISSUE - A skin treatment device combines an RF treatment arrangement with a mechanical massage arrangement, preferably with the massage device in the form of an annular massage head encircling and rotating around the RF applicator. Also disclosed are configurations with a liquid dispenser for delivering a liquid to the skin under the device. According to one option, the skin contact surface of the RF applicator itself is provided in part by a rolling ball liquid applicator. | 01-13-2011 |
