  • Patent number: 10651330
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a photovoltaic module (10), comprising the following steps: forming, on an electrically conducting material, a furrow (20A) defining a first (18A) and second (18B) lower electrode; then forming, on each lower electrode, a stack (34) comprising at least one upper electrode (36) and an intermediate photo-active layer (38), to form a first (16A) and second (16B) photovoltaic cell, respectively; then forming an electrical connection (17A) between said cells (16A, 16B). Before the stacks, the following are formed: a first insulating strip (22A) in the furrow (20A); and a second electrically insulating strip (24B) on the second lower electrode, delimiting an inactive area (28B) on said second electrode. The stack (34) next formed on the second cell is positioned outside the inactive area.

  • Patent number: 10579792
    Abstract: A system including a hypervisor and a guest virtual machine. The hypervisor is configured to communicate a measurement request that identifies virtual machine operating characteristics metadata, to receive packets comprising virtual machine operating characteristics, and to communicate packets comprising virtual machine operating characteristics to a virtual vault machine for processing. The guest virtual includes one or more virtual machine measurement points and a hypervisor control point. The hypervisor control point is configured to receive the measurement request, to determine one or more of the one or more virtual machine measurement points to collect the virtual machine operating characteristics metadata, and to receive virtual machine operating characteristics metadata from the determined one or more virtual machine measurement points.

  • Patent number: 10520281
    Abstract: A ballistic resistant panel can be configured to be quickly and easily installed in a vehicle door. The ballistic resistant panel can include a plurality of ballistic sheets arranged in a stack. The stack can have an outer perimeter sized to fit within a cavity of the vehicle door. The panel can include a cover disposed over the stack, and the cover can be sealed around a perimeter of the stack to form a waterproof barrier that prevents moisture from reaching and altering the performance of the ballistic sheets. At least one anti-wear strip can be adhered to an outer surface of the cover. The anti-wear strip can provide a low friction surface that protects the panel from damage caused by moving internal door components, such as moving window components that repeatedly rub against the panel.
