Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100273279PRODUCTION LINE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF MULTIPLE SIZED PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICES - Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a system used to form solar cell devices using processing modules adapted to perform one or more processes in the formation of the solar cell devices. In one embodiment, the system is adapted to form thin film solar cell devices by accepting a large unprocessed substrate and performing multiple deposition, material removal, cleaning, bonding, testing, and sectioning processes to form multiple complete, functional, and tested solar cell devices that can then be shipped to an end user for installation in a desired location to generate electricity. The system is adapted to receive a single large substrate and form multiple silicon thin film solar cell devices from the single large substrate.10-28-2010
20110065227COMMON LASER MODULE FOR A PHOTOVOLTAIC PRODUCTION LINE - Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to an automated production line using a common laser scribe module for providing consistent scribe lines in multiple layers during the formation of thin film photovoltaic modules. The common laser scribe module includes a plurality of identical, programmable laser tools configured to emit radiation at a common wavelength. Substrates flowing through the production line are tracked by a system controller, which identifies available laser tools within the common laser scribe module and routes substrates to available tools for scribing features in one or more layers disposed on the substrates. The system controller also sets and controls laser parameters, such as power, pulse frequency, pulse width, and laser pattern, in order to accurately and consistently produce scribed lines in the appropriate material layer of the substrate.03-17-2011

20100159634EDGE FILM REMOVAL PROCESS FOR THIN FILM SOLAR CELL APPLICATIONS - The present invention provides a method and apparatus for edge film stack removal process for fabricating photovoltaic devices. In one embodiment, a method for manufacturing solar cell devices on a substrate includes providing a substrate into a chemical vapor deposition chamber, contacting a shadow frame disposed in the deposition chamber to a periphery region of the substrate, depositing a silicon-containing layer on the substrate through an aperture defined by the shadow frame, transferring the substrate to a physical vapor deposition chamber, depositing a transparent conductive layer on the silicon-containing layer, transferring the substrate to a laser edge removal tool, and laser scribing the layers formed on the periphery region of the substrate.06-24-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110193787INPUT MECHANISM FOR PROVIDING DYNAMICALLY PROTRUDING SURFACES FOR USER INTERACTION - A computing device including a housing, an input region, and a protrusion mechanism. The input region is provided with at least an exterior surface of the housing. The protrusion mechanism is operatively positioned within the housing to dynamically form one or more protrusions that extend from a corresponding one or more designated areas on the exterior surface of the input region. One or more detectors are structured to detect an occurrence of a condition or criteria to trigger the protrusion mechanism in dynamically generating the one or more protrusions.08-11-2011

20110237274MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICE HAVING RELATIVE POSITIONING CIRCUIT - A mobile computing device comprises a housing, a telephony circuit and a relative positioning circuit. The housing is configured to be held in a hand during use. The telephony circuit is coupled to the housing and is configured to communicate wireless telephony signals. The relative positioning circuit is coupled to the housing and is configured to determine at least one of a distance and a bearing to an object based on wireless signals received from the object.09-29-2011
