US Patent:

45174032, May 14, 1985

Filed:

May 16, 1983

Appl. No.:

6/495198

Inventors:

Don L. Morel - Woodland Hills CA
Robert R. Gay - Granada Hills CA
Gary B. Turner - Canoga Park CA

Assignee:

Atlantic Richfield Company - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

H01L 3106
H01L 3118

US Classification:

136249

Abstract:

A photovoltaic device has a continuous thin film with a plurality of spaced photovoltaic regions thereon and front and back electrode portions substantially coextensive with each of the photovoltaic regions. Electrical connection between the regions is provided directly through the film itself, from each back electrode portion to the front electrode portion of an adjacent region. Thus, at least two of the photovoltaic regions are connected in series to increase the output voltage of the device.

US Classification:

136249

Abstract:

Cells of a thin film solar module having opposed upper and lower electrodes are connected in series by a plurality of discrete conductive regions extending between each upper electrode and the lower electrode of an adjoining cell. In a preferred embodiment, the opposite electrodes of adjoining cells overlap one another and one of the electrodes is a transparent conductive pad with a thickened metal-containing portion to aid in interconnection. In another embodiment, the conductive regions are formed by applying laser pulses to spaced locations along the areas of electrode overlap, after which a conductor may be deposited into cavities formed by the laser pulses.

Appl. No.:

6/741084

Inventors:

Robert R. Gay - Granada Hills CA

Assignee:

Atlantic Richfield Company - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

H01L 2508
H01L 3106

US Classification:

136249

Abstract:

A solar cell module contains a thin film silicon (TFS) semiconductor panel positioned above a copper indium dieselenide (CIS) semiconductor panel. The combination of the TFS panel and the CIS panel is effective to utilize a substantial proportion of the light energy of the solar spectrum.

Abstract:

A personalized feed system is described herein that provides feeds that are tailored to the preferences of each user of a real estate website or application. A user signs up to receive a stored profile with the website, and the profile includes information such as what geographical regions the buyer is interested in, what types of homes the buyer is looking for, and so on. The personalized feed system uses this information to provide a feed specific to the buyer that notifies the buyer of listings that are of particular relevance to that buyer. The personalized feed system summarizes other real estate events that are relevant to the user in a single time-oriented feed. Buyers receive information about new and/or modified listings, sales, outstanding offers, status of a transaction, and the like, while sellers receive information about sales, new and/or modified listings, open offers, and so on.
