Patent number: 5289999Abstract: An apparatus for utilizing solar energy with solar cells, which are arranged on a supporting structure and are connected electrically to one another and have an external connection for discharging the electrical energy. Several solar cells are parts of a frameless solar cell element, in which the solar cells are enclosed next to one another between film strips or panels. At least one side of the laminate, which faces the sunlight, is flat and transparent. The solar cell laminate lies on a supporting structure, which comprises two covering layers and a supporting foam layer therebetween, the support being formed with a recessed circumferential edge. The laminate lies on the edge, flush with the upper side of the supporting structure. The support body is constructed in undulating fashion between two parallel sections of edge, in order to support the solar cell laminate on the higher sections and to provide, with the lower sections, ducts for conducting coolant as well as for accommodating electrical conductors.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 1993Date of Patent: March 1, 1994Assignee: Schottel Werft Joseph Becker GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 5289132Abstract: An apparatus and method for rapidly identifying the chemical compositions and concentrations of solutions and for discriminating among solutions of different chemical compositions and concentrations of the solution is monitored by applying across a predetermined volume of the solution a predetermined voltage for a predetermined time after which the application of voltage is terminated and the voltage time characteristic measured across the solution as the voltage decays is compared with an empirically obtained voltage versus time characteristic for a solution having a standardized composition and/or concentration.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 1991Date of Patent: February 22, 1994Inventors: Henry C. Oksman, Joseph Eisner
-
Patent number: 5260727Abstract: A lens and method of fabrication thereof for increasing depth of focus where the lens power can be a constant but the amplitude and phase of the wave across the pupillary aperture are variables. The lens can be constructed by shading regions thereof in accordance with a mathematical function, e.g., a Gaussian distribution or Bessel function over a predetermined geometry, such as e.g., concentric, parallel or radial. The lens may be of single power or multiple power, e.g., of the bi-focal type.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 1990Date of Patent: November 9, 1993Inventors: Henry C. Oksman, Joseph Eisner

Patent number: 5259323Abstract: A gangway bellows for fastening to the end of a vehicle, the bellows having a clamping cable along its peripheral edge which cooperates with a channel carried by the end of the vehicle for attaching the end of the bellows to the vehicle. A connecting strip of elastic material, such as rubber, extends along the peripheral edge of the bellows and embraces the clamping cable. The connecting strip is located between the clamping cable and the channel on the vehicle and serves to resiliently clamp the cable to retain the latter within the channel.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 1991Date of Patent: November 9, 1993Assignee: Hubner-Gummi - Und KunststoffInventors: Robert Koch, Knud Mosaner

Patent number: 5235266Abstract: An energy-generating plant including a solar generator, having solar cells, for producing electrical energy. The electrical energy is supplied to a direct current converter, the output power of which may be used to charge an energy storage system, such as batteries. The input resistance of the direct current converter is adapted, such as by a microcomputer, to the maximum power point (MPP) of the solar generator, the MPP being dependent upon the solar insolation and the temperature of the solar cells. At start up of the plant, or when there is a change of power at the output of the direct current converter, a search process is carried out to attain the MPP of the solar generator. The energy storage system may be used to energize an electric motor for driving the propeller of a ship.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 1991Date of Patent: August 10, 1993Assignee: Schottel-Werft Josef Becker GmbH & Co.
