Patents by Inventor Cristóbal VILLASANTE CORREDOIRA

Cristóbal VILLASANTE CORREDOIRA has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11079142
    Abstract: A mirror for a solar reflector has at least one sensor integrated in the body of the mirror itself, the body of the mirror being all the layers of the mirror. At least one processor is integrated in the body of the mirror, associated with the sensor, thus generating an intelligent device and an intelligent mirror or smart mirror. A method of assembling the mirror itself and a management system for mirrors that make up a solar field is provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180274819
    Abstract: Calibration method for heliostats that comprises carrying out at least a search to visualize at least a reference by means of an artificial vision device arranged in a fixed manner to each of the heliostats to be calibrated; recognizing the reference searched; carrying out a capture of the reference for each of the searches, the capture comprising a taking of an image visualized by the artificial vision device in which the reference appears and a reading of the value of the sensors; collecting and storing data of the taking and the reading; comparing value of sensors of the capture with the value of the sensors according to a kinematic relation that is in effect; stablishing an error for each of the captures; and determining a new kinematic relation.

  • Publication number: 20110062707
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sealed mechanical connection between glass and metal for receiver tubes used in solar plants of the type using a heat-transfer fluid, which uses a mechanical force in order to establish the seal between the inner metal tubes and the outer glass tubes, between which tubes a high vacuum is established in order to prevent heat losses. According to the invention, a flexible, deformable metal joint is used for the above-mentioned seal, which joint, when duly compressed, adapts to the corresponding surfaces of the tubes to be sealed, thereby establishing the seal between the respective tubes. In addition, the invention can include a continuous system for maintaining the necessary vacuum between both types of tubes.
