Abstract: A photovoltaic module may include an electrical connection assembly with increased corrosion protection. The module may be protected from corrosion by using a high number of photovoltaic cells, by providing protective materials over module components subject to corrosion, and/or by adjusting the size ratio of the positive components to the negative components within the module.

Abstract: A photovoltaic module cord plate is disclosed. The cord plate has a base and channel.

Abstract: A method of laminating a photovoltaic module may include placing an interlayer in contact with a substrate, heating the interlayer with a source of infrared radiation and pressing the interlayer and the substrate together in a vacuum laminator.

Abstract: A method of attaching a cord plate to a photovoltaic module is disclosed. The photovoltaic module has a cover plate.

Abstract: A system for evaluating the head-up display aperture of a vehicle windshield with respect to established optical standards, independently of the projection system with which it is to be utilized. A fixture is provided for mounting a windshield in a predetermined position. An object plate having a series of accurately spaced parallel slits therethrough is positioned so that a light source positioned behind the object plate directs a series of narrow elongated light beams corresponding to the slits against the interior surface of the windshield within the display area. A line scan camera array system scans the display area and produces signals indicative of the apparent positions of the primary and secondary images of the beams reflected by the opposite surfaces of the windshield. The signals are transmitted to and stored within a computer system as a measured data base or map.
