Patent number: 11004987Abstract: Methods of fabricating a solar cell, and system for electrically coupling solar cells, are described. In an example, the methods for fabricating a solar cell can include placing conductive wires in a wire guide, where conductive wires are placed over a first semiconductor substrate having first doped regions and second doped regions. The method can include aligning the conductive wires over the first and second doped regions, where the wire guide aligns the conductive wires substantially parallel to the first and second doped regions. The method can include bonding the conductive wires to the first and second doped regions. The bonding can include applying a mechanical force to the semiconductor substrate via a roller or bonding head of the wire guide, where the wire guide inhibits lateral movement of the conductive wires during the bonding.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2020Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignees: SunPower Corporation, Total Marketing Services and Total Energies Nouvelles Activites USAInventors: Richard Hamilton Sewell, David Aaron Randolph Barkhouse, Nils-Peter Harder, Douglas Rose

Patent number: 10443230Abstract: A direct fastening fastener particularly suited for use in normal weight or lightweight composite deck system. The fastener is heat treated to a dual-hardness level so that a portion of the fastener is capable of driving into the support member, such as a joist and a decking member. The remaining portion of the fastener remains relatively ductile so that it can withstand and transfer shear loads imposed by shifting of the concrete slab, which overlies the composite decking, to the support member. The fastener can be a single or multiple piece fastener which includes specially formed annular flanges that enhance interlocking between the fastener, the concrete slab and support members.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2017Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: Black & Decker, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Chamberlain, Douglas Rose
