| 20090107541 | Concentrated Solar Photovoltaic Module - A solar photovoltaic module containing a housing that supports an array of photovoltaic cells and corresponding light guides. The housing includes a base member having a generally planar support surface and two side walls projecting from the support surface. Two side panels detachably connect to the side walls, and a top panel detachably connects to the side panels. The top panel includes a plurality of concentrating lenses that focus incident solar radiation into the inside of the housing towards the light guide. The light guides are disposed between the corresponding concentrating lenses and photovoltaic cells such that the concentrating lenses and light guides work together to direct light onto the photovoltaic cells. At least one retaining member interfaces to the light guides and applies a downward force that biases the respective light guides toward the corresponding photovoltaic cells. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090260674 | Concentrated Solar Photovoltaic Module With Protective Light Shielding - A solar photovoltaic module including a base member supporting an array of photocells as well as corresponding concentrating lenses and light guides. At least one opaque light shield defines cutouts corresponding to the light guides. The at least one opaque light shield is positioned above the base member and operates to block light incident thereon from reaching portions of the base member. The at least one light shield can be installed with a convex shape that directs condensation away from the cutouts and preferably functions as part of guide channels that guide condensation toward one or more vented hydrophilic members (e.g., sponges and the like), which are preferably disposed at one or both ends of the module. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20100154780 | Grid Support System for a Tracker-Mounted Solar Panel Array for Rooftop Applications - A grid support system for tracker-mounted solar panel array for rooftop applications includes a base frame having a plurality of interconnected lateral members which define a generally planar area substantially parallel with the rooftop. The system also includes a set of support legs corresponding to each one of the tracker devices. The set of support legs are secured to the lateral members and extend upward and inward toward one another to a respective tracker mounting plate. The tracker mounting plate supports a tracker device and associated solar panel(s). A plurality of ballast trays are secured to the base frame and are adapted to hold a plurality of ballast weights for applying a downward force on the base frame to stabilize and resist movement of the base frame. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20110240006 | Solar Tracking System and Method - A solar tracking system for controlled movement of an array of solar panels and a method for installing the system is provided. The system includes an elongate drive shaft rotatable about a central axis and mechanically coupled to an array of solar panels which are rotatable about the drive shaft. A plurality of posts support the drive shaft along the length of the drive shaft, and a plurality of couplers couple the posts to the drive shaft in a manner that facilitates adjustment of the position and orientation of the couplers relative to the posts during installation of the system, and in a manner which minimizes the contact area between the couplers and the drive shaft to reduce the torque and power requirements of the system. | 10-06-2011 |

| 20110307427 | Molecular markers predicting response to adjuvant therapy, or disease progression, inbreast cancer - Predicting response to adjuvant therapy or predicting disease progression in breast cancer is realized by (1) first obtaining a breast cancer test sample from a subject; (2) second obtaining clinicopathological data from said breast cancer test sample; (3) analyzing the obtained breast cancer test sample for presence or amount of (a) one or more molecular markers of hormone receptor status, one or more growth factor receptor markers, (b) one or more tumor suppression/apoptosis molecular markers; and (c) one or more additional molecular markers both proteomic and non-proteomic that are indicative of breast cancer disease processes; and then (4) correlating (a) the presence or amount of said molecular markers and, with (b) clinicopathological data from said tissue sample other than the molecular markers of breast cancer disease processes. A kit of (1) a panel of antibodies; (2) one or more gene amplification assays; (3) first reagents to assist said antibodies with binding to tumor samples; (4) second reagents to assist in determining gene amplification; permits, when applied to a breast cancer patient's tumor tissue sample, (A) permits observation, and determination, of a numerical level of expression of each individual antibody, and gene amplification; whereupon (B) a computer algorithm, residing on a computer can calculate a prediction of treatment outcome for a specific treatment for breast cancer, or future risk of breast cancer progression. | 12-15-2011 |
