  • Patent number: 12107179
    Abstract: A photovoltaic assembly includes a cell unit layer, a backplate and a reflective layer. The backplate is provided on a back side of the cell unit layer, and one side of the backplate away from the cell unit layer is provided with at least one junction box. The reflective layer is disposed between the cell unit layer and the backplate. The reflective layer includes a plurality of reflective longitudinal strips. Each of the plurality of reflective longitudinal strips covers edges of cell chips within at least one cell string. At least one of the plurality of reflective longitudinal strips is broken at a location adjacent to a cell chip covered by the junction box so as to form at least one opening.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10537814
    Abstract: Camera base game controller, system and methods for video shooting games. The game controller is gun shaped which comprises a sight, camera, embedded computer, wireless communication, etc. A player aims at a target on TV screen with sight and captures pictures with camera. The sight's central axis points to a point on TV, known as “hit point” which is a point-of-aim on TV screen the player aiming to. The sight will project hit point to the picture center. Several methods, including algorithm with mathematical method, 1D and 2D screen coding methods are described to calculate the hit point coordinate on TV screen. The game controller will send this coordinate wirelessly to game computer, which connects to TV and will determine whether a target on TV is hit or not, and reacts accordingly. An alternative game controller design using smart phones directly for its camera and embedded computer is described also.
