Patent number: 7663055Abstract: The photovoltaic module comprises a plurality of photovoltaic cells arranged between substrates and connected in series by connecting conductors. An external connector pin of the module comprises a block of insulating material glued to one end of the module. An external connector of the pin is connected to at least one connector electrically connected to the connecting conductor associated with a cell arranged at the end of the module. The contact between the connector and the connecting conductor associated with a cell arranged at the end of the module is achieved by pressure, generated by means of a deformation. The deformation can be achieved either at the free end of the connecting conductor or at the internal end of the connector.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2004Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: Apollon SolarInventors: Guy Baret, Hubert Lauvray

Publication number: 20060172650Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a plasma panel tile, comprising the deposition of electrodes, using a paste comprising a metal powder and a mineral binder, and the baking of the deposited electrodes. According to the invention, the composition of the mineral binder and the baking conditions are tailored so that, after the deposited electrodes have been baked, the binder is in the recrystallized state. Owing to the recrystallized state of the binder, the yellowing problems which occur during subsequent heat treatments are eliminated.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2006Publication date: August 3, 2006Inventors: Guy Baret, Armand Bettinelli

Patent number: 6537121Abstract: The process for manufacturing a plasma display panel, wherein two glass substrates are sealed together using a sealing material of epoxy or polyvinyl butyrate. The sealed structure provides a space between the substrates to contain a discharge gas. The choice of an epoxy or polyvinyl butyrate sealing material allows for relatively low processing temperatures in order to cure the sealing material. This relatively low processing temperature, of between 200° C. and 300° C., lowers the risk of cracking or microcracking of intermediate layers, which are formed on the surfaces of the substrates.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2000Date of Patent: March 25, 2003Assignee: Thomson Licensing S. A.Inventor: Guy Baret

Patent number: 6477863Abstract: The invention concerns a method for producing on a plasma panel faceplate, a dielectric coating comprising embossed patterns. The invention is characterized in that a vitreous coat is produced on the plasma panel faceplate; a mould bearing embossed patterns is applied on the vitreous coat, then the faceplate and the mould are heated until a creep effect of the vitreous coat is obtained which causes the latter to match the form of the mould, thereby enabling to produce simultaneously and with improved quality with respect to prior art, a dielectric coating bearing embossed patterns such as for instance barriers. The invention is particularly applicable to alternating plasma panel.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 1999Date of Patent: November 12, 2002Assignee: Thomson MultimediaInventor: Guy Baret
