20080245401 | CONCENTRATING PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM USING A FRESNEL LENS AND NONIMAGING SECONDARY OPTICS - Optical devices and systems that provide high solar flux onto a multi-junction solar cell, or other target cell, to produce efficient electrical output. An optical device includes a primary focusing element, and a non-imaging secondary concentrator having an entry aperture and an exit aperture. The primary focus element is configured to focus light from a distant source onto the entry aperture of the secondary concentrator. The primary focusing element has an f-number that is greater than about 1, e.g., between 1 and 4 or greater. The device includes a solar cell located proximal to the exit aperture of the secondary concentrator. In certain aspects, the primary focusing element includes a Fresnel lens, a diffractive lens and/or a reflector. In certain aspects, a Fresnel lens used as the primary is flat, substantially square, curved and/or refractive. | 10-09-2008 |

20110083932 | Garment organizing system,assembly, and method - A garment organizing system, assembly, and method enables users to organize garmentry for travel. The basic assembly comprises a support panel, a pair of restraint bindings, a series of spaced binding attachment structures for attaching each restraint binding to the support panel at spaced intervals, and an optional panel linking mechanism for linking the first support panel to an adjacent support panel. The support panels support garmentry placed thereupon. Each restraint binding is fixedly attached to a first edge of the first respective support panel, and the restraint bindings restrain garmentry supported by the support panels intermediate the periodically spaced binding attachment structures. The panel linking mechanism enables the user to fold a series of interconnectable garment restraint assemblies into a back-to-back garment restraint assembly arrangement for travel. | 04-14-2011 |

20110083931 | Garment organizing system, assembly, and method - A garment organizing system, assembly, and method enables users to organize garmentry for travel. The basic assembly comprises a support panel, a restraint panel, a panel attachment mechanism for removably attaching each restraint panel to a first edge of a respective support panel, and a panel linking mechanism for linking each support panel to an adjacent support panel. The support panels support garmentry placed thereupon. Each restraint panel is fixedly attached to a second edge of a respective support panel, and the restraint panels selectively restrain garmentry supported by the support panels via said panel attachment mechanism. The panel linking mechanism enables the user to link and stack a series of interconnectable garment restraint assemblies for organizing the supported and restrained garmentry for travel. | 04-14-2011 |

20100275681 | Measurement of Torque Uniformity in Multiplate Clutches - The invention relates to a method for measuring the uniformity of the moments of shiftable friction clutch systems, the individual friction clutch system comprising an adapter at the input end and at least one adapter at the output end, as well as a system for measuring the uniformity of the moments of shiftable friction clutch systems. According to the invention, the friction clutch system is inserted into a measuring apparatus encompassing at least one moment measuring device. The clutch plates that transmit the driving power in a frictionally engaged manner are pressed against each other by means of a test force. The driving motor is driven at a certain test speed. The torque of the driving motor transmitted by means of the friction clutch system is measured within a certain interval with the aid of the moment measuring device. The inventive test method and measuring apparatus developed for a friction clutch system allow the friction clutch system to be measured and tested before the same is mounted on a transmission. | 11-04-2010 |
20110147158 | PLATE FOR A FRICTIONALLY ACTING DEVICE AND FRICTIONALLY ACTING DEVICE HAVING A PLATE OF SAID TYPE - The present invention relates to a plate for a frictionally acting device, which plate can be rotationally fixedly connected, preferably in a positively locking manner, to a plate carrier. According to the invention, the plate is designed so as to be elastically deformable or resilient in the axial direction. The present invention also relates to a frictionally acting device having a plate of said type. | 06-23-2011 |
