  • Publication number: 20230203815
    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of roofing modules and a plurality of photovoltaic modules. The roofing modules include a first layer and a second layer. The first layer has a first surface that is textured. The roofing modules are configured to be installed on the roof deck of a structure proximate to the photovoltaic modules. An appearance of the roofing modules aesthetically matches an appearance of the photovoltaic modules when viewed from a vantage point located at a ground level of the structure.

  • Publication number: 20220393050
    Abstract: A method of making a photovoltaic module includes the step of obtaining a frontsheet having a glass layer, a light scattering encapsulant layer, and a polymer layer. The light scattering encapsulant layer includes a first region, a plurality of first portions extending from the first region, and at least one area located between the first portions. The first portions of the light scattering encapsulant layer has a first light scattering value and a second portion defined by the area has a second light scattering value different from the first light scattering value. The method includes the steps of obtaining at least one solar cell, an encapsulant, and a backsheet, and laminating the frontsheet, the encapsulant, the at least one solar cell, and the backsheet.

  • Patent number: 9585942
    Abstract: The invention relates to an insulin analogue or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, pharmaceutical composition with prolonged therapeutic effect, application of the insulin analogue, dosage method and method of treatment of diabetes. In more detail, the solution pertains to compounds being stable insulin analogues which are pharmaceutically active and characterized by a prolonged, flat, truly peakless course of glucose concentration vs. time during repeated administration and which do not show strong 24 hours fluctuations of glucose concentration, or the so-called “sawteeth effect”, during this time. Results of studies of compounds included in the scope of this application indicate an improvement in the effects of diabetes treatment by avoiding the hitherto occurring adverse influence of changes in glucose concentration throughout the entire day on a patient's organism, e.g.
