  • Through wafer via structures for concentrated photovoltaic cells
    Patent number: 8866002
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there is provided multiple embodiments of a concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) receiver cell or die. In each embodiment of the present invention, the receiver die includes a multiplicity of through wafer vias or TWV's which are etched therethrough to effectively eliminate the bus bars on the top or front surface of the receiver die, connectors such as bus bars instead being effectively moved to the bottom or back surface of the receiver die. The movement of the connectors to the back surface of the receiver die provides the potential for a greater active surface area on the front surface for solar input.

  • System and method for identifying and controlling ophthalmic surgical devices and components
    Publication number: 20060129140
    Abstract: System and method for identifying a component, such as an optical probe or pneumatic scissors, of an ophthalmic surgical device. A component of a surgical device includes an identifier, such as a RFID tag. Data from the RFID tag is transmitted to a RFID reader in the device. A controller determines whether the component corresponding to the received data is operable with the surgical device based on criteria, such as whether the received data is an authorized code that matches data stored in memory or whether the received data solves or satisfies an algorithm. The authorized codes are selected from a larger set of available codes. The controller enables or disables the operation of the device with the component based on whether the criteria is satisfied, the number of uses of the component, an amount of time that has passed since the component has been used, or a geographic location.
