Abstract: A mechanical device including two concentric space frame structures is used to enhance plant growth. Essentially identical in shape but with the inner space frame smaller than the outer by a 4:5 relationship the space frame structures independently rotate about a common axes line. Each space frame consists of a right square pyramid of rods with its apex pointing upward and a second similar pyramid directly below it by a distance approximately two and one half times the length of each rod comprising the pyramid. The second, lower pyramid however has its apex pointing downward and is turned 45-degrees about a line connecting the two apex points. Eight additional rods complete each space frame. They each, respectively connect a corner of the upper pyramid base to a corner of the lower pyramid base in a manner that is symmetric.

Abstract: An improved process for fabricating photovoltaic charging circuits including the steps of: 1. fabricating a circuit board by conventional techniques with photovoltaic piece mounting pads, islands, and traces suitable for interconnecting photovoltaic pieces in series with a LED and the cells of the rechargeable battery; 2. fabricating a suitable solder screen; 3. using the screen to apply solder dots to the piece mounting pads and the LED mounting pads; 4. using a pick and place machine to automatically place the pieces, conductive side up, onto the piece mounting pads and the LED onto the LED mounting pads; 5. heating the assembly to cause soldering of the rears of the pieces to the piece mounting pads and the LED to the LED mounting pads; and 6. electrically connecting the conductive sides to the islands.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing additional charging power by means of natural and man made surrounding light sources to a communication device comprises a generally square frame member defining a front and second side, the first side of the frame member having embedded a plurality of photo-voltaic cells and the second side housing an adhesive for attachment to the second side of the communication device. The photo-voltaic cells are interconnected to each other and attached to an electrically thin ribbon wire which protrudes through the second side of the frame member. At the end of the ribbon wire is an applicator for attaching the ribbon wire into a battery plug socket located within the communication device's battery compartment. The first side of the frame member also houses a light emitting diode (LED) electrically connected between the plurality of photo-voltaic cells and the ribbon wire to indicate if auxiliary photoelectric charge is being provided to the communication devices battery.
