Publication number: 20200217702Abstract: In one embodiment, a field-deployable acoustic camera system is provided for measuring a two-dimensional velocity field in a large scale flow in a turbid environment. The system includes an acoustic camera and a concentrator lens. The concentrator lens operates to reduce a spreading angle of the acoustic camera. The system is configured to apply planar cross-correlation velocimetry to collected images of native micro-bubble and/or suspended particle motion collected in turbid environments such as lake circulation, riverine, estuarine, and coastal flows, as well as turbid flows that occur near dredging operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2019Publication date: July 9, 2020Inventors: Brian C.

Patent number: 10192740Abstract: A reactor for growing or depositing semiconductor films or devices. The reactor may be designed for inline production of III-V materials grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE). The operating principles of the HVPE reactor can be used to provide a completely or partially inline reactor for many different materials. An exemplary design of the reactor is shown in the attached drawings. In some instances, all or many of the pieces of the reactor formed of quartz, such as welded quartz tubing, while other reactors are made from metal with appropriate corrosion resistant coatings such as quartz or other materials, e.g., corrosion resistant material, or stainless steel tubing or pipes may be used with a corrosion resistant material useful with HVPE-type reactants and gases. Using HVPE in the reactor allows use of lower-cost precursors at higher deposition rates such as in the range of 1 to 5 ?m/minute.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2017Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignees: Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC, Wisconsin Alumni Research FoundationInventors: David L. Young, Aaron Joseph Ptak, Thomas F. Kuech, Kevin Schulte, John D. Simon

Patent number: 9985159Abstract: Methods for forming passivated contacts include implanting compound-forming ions into a substrate to about a first depth below a surface of the substrate, and implanting dopant ions into the substrate to about a second depth below the surface. The second depth may be shallower than the first depth. The methods also include annealing the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2016Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLCInventors: David L.

Patent number: 8239165Abstract: An apparatus for measuring quantum efficiency (QE) of solar cells. The apparatus includes a light source including an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that each emit light corresponding to a differing portion of a test spectrum and each LED is driven by a sinusoidal power supply that operates at a unique frequency. The light source includes an optical coupling focusing the LED light into a test beam targeted on a solar cell, and a signal conditioner converts analog current signals generated by the solar cell into digital voltage signals. A QE measurement module determines a QE value corresponding to each of the LEDs based on the digital voltage signals using a Fast Fourier Transform module that processes the digital voltage signals to generate values for each operating frequency. The QE measurement module determines the QE values by applying a conversion factor to these values.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2008Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLCInventors: David L.
