Abstract: A ballistic resistant panel can be configured to be quickly and easily installed in a vehicle door. The ballistic resistant panel can include a plurality of ballistic sheets arranged in a stack. The stack can have an outer perimeter sized to fit within a cavity of the vehicle door. The panel can include a cover disposed over the stack, and the cover can be sealed around a perimeter of the stack to form a waterproof barrier that prevents moisture from reaching and altering the performance of the ballistic sheets. At least one anti-wear strip can be adhered to an outer surface of the cover. The anti-wear strip can provide a low friction surface that protects the panel from damage caused by moving internal door components, such as moving window components that repeatedly rub against the panel.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a photovoltaic module, comprising at least two electrically connected photovoltaic cells, the module comprising an insulating substrate covered with a layer of a first conductive material. The method comprises: a) forming a groove defining a first and second lower electrode; and b) forming, on each lower electrode, a stack comprising an upper electrode and a photo-active layer. The method further comprises, between steps a) and b), forming: a first insulating step on the groove; then a conductive strip partially covering the first insulating strip; then a second insulating strip partially covering the conductive strip.

Abstract: A window for use in a vehicle includes a plastic base sheet having an inner surface and an outer surface. A glass sheet is attached to the plastic base sheet. The glass sheet has an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface of the glass sheet faces the outer surface of the plastic base sheet. A plastic frame sheet is attached to the plastic base sheet. The plastic frame sheet has an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface of the plastic frame sheet faces the outer surface of the plastic base sheet. The plastic frame sheet has an opening exposing at least a portion of the glass sheet through the opening.
Abstract: An automated can adjustment system for a can cleaning system and associated method is disclosed. The automated can adjustment system can store different stage height information corresponding to various cans with different heights in a controller. The stage height information corresponding to the different can heights is associated with and recallable by various preset buttons operatively coupled with the controller. The controller is configured to communicate with the one or more drive mechanisms to adjust one or more stage heights based on the stage height information recalled when a particular preset button is selected. Different stage heights may be changed by then selecting a different preset button associated with a can having a different height.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cathode for an electrochemical accumulator including a current collector, an interfacing layer, the interfacing layer being coated on the current collector, and an electrode, the electrode being formed by deposition, in particular by coating, of a first composition on the interfacing layer, the first composition having a hydrogen potential greater than or equal to 10, preferably greater than or equal to 12, the hydrogen potential being measured at a temperature of 25° C.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a photovoltaic module (10), comprising the following steps: forming, on an electrically conducting material, a furrow (20A) defining a first (18A) and second (18B) lower electrode; then forming, on each lower electrode, a stack (34) comprising at least one upper electrode (36) and an intermediate photo-active layer (38), to form a first (16A) and second (16B) photovoltaic cell, respectively; then forming an electrical connection (17A) between said cells (16A, 16B). Before the stacks, the following are formed: a first insulating strip (22A) in the furrow (20A); and a second electrically insulating strip (24B) on the second lower electrode, delimiting an inactive area (28B) on said second electrode. The stack (34) next formed on the second cell is positioned outside the inactive area.
