Abstract: A PV module is formed having an array of PV cells, where the cells are separated by gaps. Each cell contains an array of small silicon sphere diodes (10-300 microns in diameter) connected in parallel. The diodes and conductor layers may be patterned by printing. A continuous metal substrate supports the diodes and conductor layers in all the cells. A dielectric substrate is laminated to the metal substrate. Trenches are then formed by laser ablation around the cells to sever the metal substrate to form electrically isolated PV cells. A metallization step is then performed to connect the cells in series to increase the voltage output of the PV module. An electrically isolated bypass diode for each cell is also formed by the trenching step. The metallization step connects the bypass diode and its associated cell in a reverse-parallel relationship.

Abstract: A process for treating milk including the steps of: a homogenization step wherein the milk is maintained at a temperature of below about 60° C.; and, a high pressure processing step, wherein the milk is subjected to an elevated pressure above about 350 MPa wherein the elevated pressure of the high pressure processing step does not induce an increase in the temperature of the milk in excess of a limiting temperature of about 60° C. during the high pressure processing step.
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for integrating user-specific context indicators into a searchable enterprise platform. In one embodiment, an apparatus is configured to apply a learned user profile, to a set of search results to obtain a user-specific, ranked arrangement of search results. The learned user profile may be developed through the application of a machine learning and/or trained model to a set of user behaviors that have been determined or otherwise detected within an enterprise platform, such that the user-specific context in which a user's search arises can be modeled and applied to retrieved digital content items associated with a search query within the enterprise platform.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to equipment for handling bulk materials. In a particular form, the present disclosure relates to equipment for use in stockpiling grains in a bulk storage system of the type commonly referred to as a bunker, although its application is not so limited. In one aspect, there is provided a mobile stacker and reclaimer combination comprising a mobile stacker, and a mobile reclaimer which is movable independently to the mobile stacker, wherein in use, the mobile reclaimer simultaneously collects a bulk material and feeds this to the mobile stacker.
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for generating updated network application interfaces. A computer-implemented method may include outputting a first network application interface associated with a first network application; receiving a network application file generation request including a first network application session identifier; outputting a second network application interface based on the network application file generation request and the second network application protocol; receiving a network application return request including the first network application session identifier and a second network application session identifier; and outputting, an updated first network application interface based on the network application return request and the first network application protocol.
Abstract: A gas flow indicator device (10) has an elongate housing (12) defining a chamber (20) enabling gas flow from an inlet (22) at a first end (16) to an outlet (24) at a second end (18). An indicator member (26) within the chamber (20) extends from adjacent the first end (16) over part of the length of the chamber (20) and is of annular form enabling gas to enter the chamber along a bore (28) through the indicator member (26). The indicator member (26) is spaced from an inner surface (30) of a peripheral sidewall (14) of the housing (12) to define an annular space (32) within the chamber (20). A concealment member (34) is movable from the first end (16) by a sufficient pressure generated by gas flow through the chamber (20), against a biasing member (36) acting to bias the concealment member (34) to the first end (16).
Abstract: The invention discloses a flexible container sleeve structure, which includes an elongated sleeve defining in series containers and having front and back panels joined to each other along their elongated sides; a first gusset formation provided between the front and back panels forming a base; a second gusset formation provided between the front and back panels forming a top; and a curvature provided in the sides of the front and back panels. The containers being defined by the front and back panels and the gusset formations. The front panel may be imprinted with a graphic of a wine barrel or beer keg. The curvature is convexly curved from the top to the base, thereby adapted to assist in creating the impression of a barrel or keg.
