20140069417 | POLYMERIC SOLAR CONCENTRATOR AND SOLAR THERMAL DEVICE INCORPORATING SAME - Polymeric sheets suitable for use as solar concentrators in solar thermal devices are provided. Also provided are solar thermal devices incorporating the polymeric sheets. The polymeric sheets have two oppositely facing surfaces. A first pattern is defined in the first surface and a second pattern is defined in the second surface. The first pattern is designed to reduce the reflectance of light incident upon the first surface relative to the first surface in the absence of the first pattern and to channel incident light through the sheet onto the second surface. It does so by redirecting photons incident upon the first surface over a broad range of incident angles into transmittance angles that are more closely aligned with the surface normal of the polymeric sheet. The second pattern is designed to focus the photons transmitted to the second surface of the sheet onto a focal surface, such as a receptacle containing a heat-transfer medium. | 03-13-2014 |

20140260000 | ROOFING, CLADDING OR SIDING PRODUCT, ITS MANUFACTURE AND ITS USE AS PART OF A SOLAR ENERGY RECOVERY SYSTEM - This disclosure provides a roofing, cladding or siding product which is light weight, easy to install, durable and resistant to environmental wear. One embodiment relates to a module that can be used to form a weatherproof covering over top of a building surface. Another embodiment is a module which can, in additional to forming a weatherproof covering, be used as part of a thermal energy recovery or removal system. Yet another embodiment is a module which can, in addition to forming a weatherproof covering, and optionally in addition to being useful as part of a thermal energy recovery system, bears an array of solar cells to generate electrical energy. Assemblies, systems, uses, and methods of manufacture are also described. | 09-18-2014 |
20140352760 | PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS - This invention relates to photovoltaic (PV) unit adapted to provide wireless power transfer output comprising one or more photovoltaic cells that generate electrical output, and at least one wireless power transfer transmitter coupled to transfer the electrical output via wireless power transfer. Such a PV unit can be provided in combination with a roofing, cladding or siding module. Such a module comprises an underlapping region and an exposed region of an adjacent module when installed on a building surface; and an outer surface and an under surface, wherein the under surface of the underlapping region is profiled to define a pathway for air flow between the module and the building surface. | 12-04-2014 |

20140136444 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DE-RISKING A PENSION FUND - A system for de-risking a pension fund, the system including: an input module for receiving asset class forecasts; a modeling module for modeling a plurality of portfolios based on the asset class forecasts to provide a de-risking framework; an asset mix module for receiving an asset mix for each of the model portfolios based on the de-risking framework; a database for storing data related to the asset class forecasts, the model portfolios, and asset mix; a processor configured to monitor the model portfolios for performance within the de-risking framework by: calculating an indicator of funded status volatility; comparing the indicator with a benchmark; and reporting the result. In particular, the indicator of funded status volatility is a liability tracking error and the benchmark is the liability tracking error of a conventional or standard pension portfolio. | 05-15-2014 |

20140172474 | Methods and Systems for Automatic Registration Using Previously Used Credentials - Methods and systems for providing a user with re-registration for an event by presenting a previously used credential to a preceding occurrence of the event. The method includes: providing a registrant with a credential relating to an authorization for a first event from a microprocessor based computer system; and terminating the credential's ability to authorize the registrant for the first event. The microprocessor based computer system then receives a representation of the credential issues to the registrant and automatically registers the participant for a second event. | 06-19-2014 |
