20100224239 | Multijunction solar cell with a bypass diode - In a preferred embodiment, a layer of TiAu is placed in an etch in a solar cell with a contact at a doped layer of GaAs. Electric current is conducted through a diode and away from the main cell by passing through the contact point at the GaAs and traversing a lateral conduction layer. These means of activating, or “turning on” the diode, and passing the current through the circuit results in greater efficiencies than in prior art devices. The diode is created during the manufacture of the other layers of the cell and does not require additional manufacturing. | 09-09-2010 |

20080269718 | Method for pressure mediated selective delivery of therapeutic substances and cannula - Methods and devices are disclosed for selective delivery of therapeutic substances to specific histologic or microanatomic areas of organs. Introduction of the therapeutic substance into a hollow organ space (such as an hepatobiliary duct or the gallbladder lumen) at a controlled pressure, volume or rate allows the substance to reach a predetermined cellular layer (such as the ephithelium or sub-epithelial space). The volume or flow rate of the substance can be controlled so that the intralumenal pressure reaches a predetermined threshold level beyond which subsequent subepithelial delivery of the substance occurs. Alternatively, a lower pressure is selected that does not exceed the threshold level, so that delivery occurs substantially only to the epithelial layer. Such site specific delivery of therapeutic agents permits localized delivery of substances (for example to the interstitial tissue of an organ) in concentrations that may otherwise produce systemic toxicity. Occlusion of venous or lymphatic drainage from the organ can also help prevent systemic administration of therapeutic substances, and increase selective delivery to superficial epithelial cellular layers. Delivery of genetic vectors can also be better targeted to cells where gene expression is desired. The access device comprises a cannula with a wall piercing tracar within the lumen. Two axially spaced inflatable balloons engage the wall securing the cannula and sealing the puncture site. A catheter equipped with an occlusion balloon is guided through the cannula to the location where the therapeutic substance is to be delivered. | 10-30-2008 |

20130334334 | Chemical, System and Method for Reducing Rodent Damage in Drip Irrigation Systems - A chemical mixture and a system and method using the chemical mixture to reduce damage to the buried lines and discharge components of a subsurface drip irrigation system from rodents that may otherwise chew through these components. The chemical mixture comprises a liquid base, a surfactant, a dye and an odor producing chemical, preferably methyl mercaptan. The chemical is selected so as to produce an odor which is sufficiently intolerable to rodents to negatively disrupt their life cycle, causing rodents to exit to the surface where they are likely to be eaten by predators and to interfere with their eating and mating activities. The system and method of injecting the chemical mixture into the distribution lines of the drip irrigation system so that the mixture flows into the soil with the irrigation water. The methyl mercaptan binds with the soil, creating an odor that disrupts the life cycle of rodents. | 12-19-2013 |
