20110094503 | Method and apparatus for solar panel tracking - A method for tracking the movement of the sun from East to West across the sky during daylight hours to enable solar photovoltaic (PV) panels or arrays of such panels to capture significantly more solar energy than fixed solar panels. Readily-available sun position data (taken from ephemeris or celestial navigation tables) can be programmed into read-only memory (ROM) chips. Date and time of day information can also be programmed into ROM chips powered by long-life, rechargeable batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries. Using such ROM chip data, a solar panel or an array of solar panels can track the sun position provided that during installation (with the panels aimed longitudinally towards the South), the solar panels are positioned upwards towards the noontime sun position to establish a starting point. This enables the sun tracking system of the present invention to track the sun without requiring a solar sensing device. Sun tracking provides an increase of from about 20% to 50% increased solar energy capture compared with fixed, non-tracking solar panels. Experimental data is also provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the present invention. | 04-28-2011 |

20150271578 | SPEAKER ASSEMBLY WITH CLAMPING SUBASSEMBLIES - A speaker assembly has a speaker housing and one or more clamping subassemblies, with each subassembly including a drive dog, a clamping dog with a dogleg, a compression spring, and a dog screw, and with each subassembly capable of transitioning between four positions. In a parked position, the entire clamping subassembly is housed in the speaker housing with the compression spring in a compressed state between drive dog and the clamping dog. By rotating the dog screw, the clamping subassembly is transitioned to a ready-to-release position where the dogleg of the clamping dog extends out of the speaker housing. By pushing the dog screw, the clamping subassembly is transitioned to a released position, where the compression spring forces the clamping dog away from the drive dog. By further rotating the dog screw, the clamping subassembly is transitioned to a clamped position, where the compression spring returned to the compressed state. | 09-24-2015 |
