  • Patent number: 11876145
    Abstract: The invention relates to improved methods and implementation of reliably manufacturing laminated solar panel products having one or more axis of curvature, wherein at least one solar cell also has one or more axis of curvature, in a manufacturing plant, the manufacturing plant being capable of continuous, optimized operation. A substrate and a superstrate having a doubly-curved geometry may be assembled with a core disposed therebetween, the core comprising a solar cell array including at least one solar cell. During the lamination process, the plant substantially eliminates cracking of the at least one solar cell of the solar array through controlled and uniform application of lamination pressure and temperature that applies uniform local pressure simultaneously to each cell, resulting in a durable and reliable product. The invention further relates to a plant and/or facility having efficient, effective, and repeatable results relating to such methods.

  • Patent number: 11870393
    Abstract: An oscillator capable of quick startup is provided. A transistor is provided between an output terminal of a certain stage inverter and an input terminal of the following stage inverter included in the voltage controlled oscillator. With the use of the on resistance of the transistor, the oscillation frequency of the clock signal is controlled. While supply of the power supply voltage is stopped, a signal that is input to the input terminal of the inverter just before supply of the power supply voltage is stopped is stored by turning off the transistor. This operation makes it possible to immediately output a clock signal that has the same frequency as that before supply of the power supply voltage is stopped at the time when the power supply voltage is supplied again.
