An apparatus of a junction box component housed in a junction box and designed to be coupled to a power generator. The junction box component may include one or more bypass mechanisms configured to bypass one or more substrings of the power generator in a case of malfunction or mismatch between the substring and the remainder of the power generators. The one or more bypass mechanisms may generate heat which may be transferred out of the junction box. The junction box component may be designed to conduct the heat towards the base of the junction box and/or the cover of the junction box. A heat dissipation mechanism may be mounted on the base and/or the cover. A bypass mechanism may bypass the entire power generator.

A protection of space solar cells in an arrangement in the form of a string that extends in an X direction. In each case two space solar cells directly neighboring in the X direction are electrically connected to one another in series via a metallic connector of a first type. The string has a first end and a second end opposite from the first end, and a protection arrangement is provided directly at one of the two ends along a y direction. The protection arrangement includes a first string protection diode arrangement, a metal strip, and a second string protection diode arrangement provided in the Y direction. The protection arrangement is electrically connected to one of the two ends of the string via two spaced-apart metal strips, and each string protection diode arrangement includes multiple unhoused string protection diodes.

The HCPV system includes a plurality of modules connected to an array, a casing, a plurality of inverted pyramids, a plurality of solar cells, and a backplate. Each module includes an optical component that concentrates light onto a single solar cell and a single inverted pyramid with solid lateral faces connects the optical component at a peripheral edge of a base of the pyramid to the single solar cell at an apex of the inverted pyramid. The casing has a top frame and a bottom frame. The top frame surrounds each optical component on the peripheral edge of the pyramid, and the bottom frame surrounds each solar cell on the apex of the pyramid. The top frame and bottom frame are separated by a plurality of supports. The backplate is a plurality of interconnected circular pads.

The present invention relates to SNS-595 and methods of treating cancer using the same.

A monolithic multiple solar cell includes at least three partial cells, with a semiconductor mirror placed between two partial cells. The aim of the invention is to improve the radiation stability of said solar cell. For this purpose, the semiconductor mirror has a high degree of reflection in at least one part of a spectral absorption area of the partial cell which is arranged above the semiconductor mirror and a high degree of transmission within the spectral absorption range of the partial cell arranged below the semiconductor mirror.

A self-cleaning system for a light-receiving substrate is able to detect a particulate on a designated surface of the light-receiving substrate and is then able to clean off of the designated surface with contactless electrostatic waves. The self-cleaning system includes a plurality of conductive traces, a microcontroller, a pulsed electrostatic-field generator, and a direct current (DC) power source. The conductive traces are electrodes that use the electrostatic waves to levitate and move the particulate off of the designated surface. The pulsed electrostatic-field generator creates the pulsed electrostatic fields that accumulate into the electrostatic waves. The microcontroller instructs and manages the electronic parts of the self-cleaning system. The DC power source is used to power the electrical parts of the self-cleaning system.

A desiccant air conditioning system for heating an air stream entering a building space includes a conditioner having multiple structures arranged in a substantially vertical orientation. The structures are spaced apart from each other with an air stream gap between each pair of adjacent structures. Each structure has at least one outer surface facing an air stream gap across which a liquid desiccant can flow. An air stream flows through the air stream gaps between the structures such that the liquid desiccant humidifies the air stream. Each structure further includes a separate desiccant collector at a lower end of the at least one outer surface for collecting liquid desiccant that has flowed across the at least one outer surface of the structure. The desiccant collectors are spaced apart from each other to permit airflow therebetween. The conditioner also includes a heat source for heating a heat transfer fluid used to heat the liquid desiccant.

A high concentration photovoltaic device has a Fresnel lens having a front side and a back side, which may be mounted on a cover plate, and a mirror behind the Fresnel lens and facing the Fresnel lens. A secondary lens is unitary with the Fresnel lens and facing the mirror, and is typically on the inside of the cover plate in the center of the Fresnel lens. A photovoltaic cell in front of the secondary lens faces the mirror through the secondary lens. An additional focusing lens may be provided in front of the mirror. Two optical elements of said device form a Khler integrator between a remote source, usually the sun, in front of the device and the photovoltaic cell as a target. The mirror may be spectrally selective, with a secondary photovoltaic cell behind the mirror. Additional photovoltaic cells to collect unfocused light may surround the mirror.

Solar energy collection and storage systems and processes of using such systems. Non-direct solar energy collection and storage systems can generate electricity from solar radiation using a solar thermoelectric generator and at the same time capture solar thermal energy in a working fluid. The working fluid can then transfer the heat to a thermal storage medium where the heat can be retrieved on demand to generate electricity and heat a fluid. Direct solar energy collection and storage systems can store solar thermal energy in a thermal storage medium directly from solar radiation and the heat from the thermal storage medium can be used on demand to generate electricity and heat a fluid.
