Abstract: To optimize photovoltaic energy in situ and without expensive heliostat systems, the power from full, diffracted, as well as low-angle sunlight can be significantly increased by utilizing flat or curved reflectors and/or lenses in any configuration around and/or above a solar cell, attached or independent, no matter the size or how situated, alone or multiply, with supports, heat sinks, or cooling vanes enclosed partly or entirely in a protective transparent envelope; enhanced photonic capture by this integrally reflective and modular CSP technology could with increased cell receptivity be further employed for nocturnal usage from stellar, lunar, and urban illumination as well as office, store, and household lighting both night and day.

Abstract: This device elevates the midsection of the foot when shoeless, addressing congenital flatness, or lapsing or pronation in the arch. The device, which can be constructed of various materials, does not support the metatarsus or heel, and is attached to the foot by lateral straps or stretchable bands, either singular or in two pieces closed by a snap, buckle, velcro or similar fastener, and adding a heel or, ankle strap or band if greater stability is desired. It may be worn inside or over stockings, and feature assorted shapes, textures, coloration, and decoration. The device can also serve as an orthotic for barefoot runners or dancers by means of longitudinal extension, with openings under the metatarsus and heel so these areas may touch the ground or floor, and employ additional straps or bands. This device may be contraindicated as a diagnostic or therapeutic aid, without the intent of medical application.

Abstract: Dreaming has been found to occur among mammals almost continuously throughout sleep, and can be influenced by environmental stimuli while taking place, particularly with humans by utilizing recordings of short, simple, and repeated questions in the sleeper's own voice, then played back at preset intervals during the sleepstate; this invention incorporates these factors as a methodology to enhance the homeostatic nature of dreams, more specifically focusing them for the sleeper's immediate and long-term wellbeing. The device employs sonic technology in various formats as a novel governor of nocturnal or naptime information-processing by the brain, permitting the safe and effective resolution of immediate issues as well as concerns from even the distant past; it is contraindicated as a diagnostic or therapeutic aid, without the intent of medical application.
