Publication number: 20180108579Abstract: A method and apparatus for estimating an effect of variations of wafer properties on operating parameters of photovoltaic cells during manufacturing is provided. Measurements of emitter sheet resistance, minority carrier lifetime, and wafer resistivity of a wafer are obtained during manufacture of the wafer into a photovoltaic cell. Measurements may be made in-line with manufacturing. Current and voltage (I-V) parameters of the photovoltaic cell, such as VOC, ISC and fill factor are estimated based on some the obtained measurements. Calculation routines for the I-V parameters may be monitored for accuracy and updated based on actual observed values of the I-V parameters as measured in the finished photovoltaic cells. The update may be based on a comparison between observed wafer properties and imputed wafer properties that are generated based on the observed values of the I-V parameters. The measurements and I-V parameters may be used to identify process faults.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2016Publication date: April 19, 2018Applicants: Aurora Solar Technologies (Canada) Inc., Aurora Solar Technologies (Canada) Inc.Inventor: Gordon Matthew DEANS

Patent number: 9118096Abstract: A feed structure for a wearable antenna incorporates a microstrip transmission line designed for mounting on opposite sides of a fabric. The transmission line has a perforated ground plane which reduces capacitance and offers an appropriate impedance, even when the fabric is thin, and allows the use of a relatively robust line conductor having a width of 3 mm or 5 mm or more. The ground plane can be extended to provide the ground plane of a balun and the material of that ground plane can in turn be extended to provide the wearable antenna.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2011Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: BAE SYSTEMS plcInventors: Robert Ian Henderson, James Christopher Gordon Matthews
