Abstract: A treatment of a possibly powdered, sintered, or deposited lattice (e.g., nickel) for heat generating applications and a way to control low energy nuclear reactions (“LENR”) hosted in the lattice by controlling hydride formation. The method of control and treatment involves the use of the reaction lattice, enclosed by an inert cover gas such as argon that carries hydrogen as the reactive gas in a non-flammable mixture. Hydrogen ions in the lattice are transmuted to neutrons as discussed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2007/0206715 (Godes_2007)). Hydrogen moving through the lattice interacts with the newly formed neutrons generating an exothermic reaction.

Abstract: This invention relates to a solar energy collector that converts solar radiation into both electrical and thermal energy. More specifically this invention relates to a concentrating solar energy collector with an integrated construction that minimizes cost, bulk, and weight, and maximizes overall efficiency. Typical non-concentrating solar collectors use photovoltaic cells over the entirety of their surface. These solar cells are the most expensive part of the collector. This invention discloses using a reflector to concentrate the incident radiation on photovoltaic cells with one-twentieth the area of the reflector, and transferring the co-generated thermal energy into a working fluid pumped through the cell support structure.

Abstract: This invention relates to a system for tracking a solar energy collector and diagnosing the solar collector's operational status. More specifically, it relates to a system employing a 3-axis accelerometer to determine the orientation of a solar collector, the vibration experienced by that solar collector, whether that solar collector has experienced an impact, and initiating system position control and diagnostics based on that information.

Abstract: An analyte detection system for non-invasively determining the concentration of an analyte in a sample is described. The detection system includes a window assembly consisting of a main layer adapted to allow electromagnetic radiation to pass therethrough, and a heater layer adapted to exchange heat to the sample. The system also includes a detector adapted to detect electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sample and passed through the window assembly. The analyte detection system also includes a control system in electrical communication with the heater layer and adapted to cause the heater layer to exchange heat to the sample. The main layer of the window assembly may be made from a variety of materials such as germanium, silicon, and chemical vapor deposited diamond.

Abstract: Photoresist baked upon integrated circuit wafers is mechanically stripped therefrom. Wafers are unloaded from boats at the top of an elevator within a vertical housing filled with stripper solution, then deposited on a conveyor and carried through a horizontal housing also filled with stripper. The wafers are sprayed by high pressure stripper pumped through a nozzle at the end of their horizontal travel. The wafers are then transferred to another housing where they are rinsed, dried and, optionally, reloaded.
