Moreover, the method includes depositing an absorber layer of the solar cell on the thin metallic substrate.	10-14-2010
20130337602	Sputtering Target Including a Feature to Reduce Chalcogen Build Up and Arcing on a Backing Tube - A sputtering target has a cylindrical backing tube having two edges and a sidewall comprising a middle portion located between two end portions. The sputtering material is on the backing tube. The sputtering material does not cover at least one end portion of the backing tube. The sputtering target also has a feature which prevents or reduces at least one of chalcogen buildup and arcing at the at least one end portion of the backing tube not covered by the sputtering material.	12-19-2013

20110148213	380 VOLT DIRECT CURRENT POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS AND FACILITIES - A method and a modular direct current power distribution system. A distribution panel may receive alternating current power with a voltage range between 200 volts and 15000 volts. A modular rectifier may convert the alternating current power from the distribution panel to direct current power with a range of 250 volts to 600 volts. An end feed box may receive alternative energy power from an alternative energy power source. A power pathway module may distribute the direct current power from the modular rectifier to a set of information and communication technology equipment. An electrical protection system may guard against electrical damage.	06-23-2011

20120325548	WATERTIGHT SEAL ASSEMBLY - A watertight seal assembly for an electrical connection prevents moisture intrusion with a submerged device and features a wire plug having an opening sized for watertight receipt of a wire jacket and apertures sized to feed wire leads into the housing of the electric device. The wire plug is sized to form a watertight seal within a frusto-conical cavity located on the housing of the submerged electric device. A wire cap having a hole for sealed passage of the wire jacket fits over the wire plug and locks together with an attachment hub on the housing of the submerged electric device, producing a watertight seal. The inner surface of the hole in the wire cap opening includes nubs that bite into the wire jacket as the wire cap is twisted, thereby creating a watertight seal between the cap and wire jacket and providing an additional barrier for avoiding moisture intrusion.	12-27-2012
