Abstract: A PV array (10) comprising multiple PV modules (11, 12) that each have a first and second pairs of spaced apart terminals (28, 40), with the first pair of spaced apart terminals (28) being in electrical connection with the PV cells of the PV modules (11, 12). A by-pass conductor (30) connects the second pair of spaced apart terminals (40) and enables current to pass through the PV modules (11, 12) between the second pair of spaced apart terminals (40). The second pair of terminals (40) of a first PV module (11) are each connected electrically to a terminal (28) of the first pair of terminals (28) of two adjacent PV modules to which the first PV module is connected. The by-pass conductor (30) of the first PV module facilitates travel of electrical current from the first PV module to a second PV module, by connection of the first terminals (28) of the first PV module (11) to the second terminals (40) of the second PV module (12).

Abstract: Method of installation of a PV array with planar PV modules of square/rectangular configuration, each module defining square/rectangular edge and comprising a pair of parallel end and side edges, the modules being connected along adjacent end edges and foldable relative to each other about the connected end edges between a closed condition and an open condition, whereby in the closed condition, the modules are stacked together on a movable carriage on which the modules can be transported, the modules comprising a leading module, a trailing module and two or more intermediate modules, and in the open condition, the modules are laterally displaced from the closed condition about the end edge connections to collect electromagnetic radiation, the method including securing the leading module and moving the carriage relative to the leading module so that the carriage moves away from the leading module, allowing the PV array to unfold from the carriage.

Abstract: A portable PV module array, the modules being connected along adjacent end edges and being foldable relative to each other about the connected end edges between a closed condition and an open condition, whereby: in the closed condition, the PV modules are stacked together in a generally parallel and close facing relationship with the edges of the PV modules in general alignment, and in the open condition, the PV modules are disposed at an angle to each other so that the PV module array defines triangular configuration, and foldable movement of the PV modules from the closed condition to the open condition being restricted against movement beyond the open condition by a flexible connector that connects with a connection point associated with each of the PV modules of the PV module array and that is tensioned in the open condition and that is slack in the closed condition.

Abstract: Containers for a fluid sample containing a radionuclide for measurement of radiation from the radionuclide include an outer shell having one or more ports between an interior and an exterior of the outer shell, and an inner shell secured to the outer shell. The inner shell includes a detector receptacle sized for at least partial insertion into the outer shell. The inner shell and outer shell together at least partially define a fluid sample space. The outer shell and inner shell are configured for maintaining an operating pressure within the fluid sample space of at least about 1000 psi. Systems for measuring radioactivity in a fluid include such a container and a radiation detector received at least partially within the detector receptacle. Methods of measuring radioactivity in a fluid sample include maintaining a pressure of a fluid sample within a Marinelli-type container at least at about 1000 psi.
