  • Patent number: 11947880
    Abstract: Determining solar panel placement enables sales representatives and homeowners to modify a solar power system by adding or removing solar panels or arrays of solar panels, or changing module type. The user sees the corresponding solar energy production update instantly in a user interface. Determining solar panel placement includes receiving data corresponding to an installation location. A maximum solar panel design is determined based on the installation location. Energy production is determined for a solar panel on each section of a roof of an installation location, and the energy production and energy offset are dynamically displayed in real time when any solar panel or array is selected or deselected.

  • Patent number: 9504557
    Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus and method of manufacture relating to a pre-sutured, high-strength allograft tendon construct. One embodiment of the allograft tendon construct includes first and second tendon lengths that are positioned longitudinally in parallel to one another. A whip stitched pattern secures the first and second tendon lengths at a free end, forming a stitched end portion that abuts an unstitched middle portion. The whip stitched pattern includes a plurality of sutures that originate adjacent to the free end and progress or advance inward toward the unstitched middle portion. A multiple knot bundle is applied immediately prior to a final suture, such that the final suture loops about the multiple knot bundle and locks the multiple knot bundle in place beneath the final suture. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20150157761
    Abstract: Embodiments of the technology may involve a method of processing the human donor tissue for administration to a recipient. This method may include the step of contacting the human donor tissue with a backing layer, where the human donor tissue and the backing layer contain a saline solution. This saline solution may include a solvent and a disassociated salt. The method may further include evaporating a portion of the solvent from a surface of the backing layer. The evaporation of the solvent may move a portion of the disassociated salt from the donor tissue to the backing layer. This process may then result in a tissue that is mostly dry and free of salt crystals.
