  • Patent number: 10686404
    Abstract: A method for testing the die-attach quality of a photovoltaic cell assembly, in particular, for electrical inline monitoring of a photovoltaic cell die-attach quality during the manufacturing of a concentrator photovoltaic module, comprises the steps of providing a photovoltaic cell assembly comprising at least one photovoltaic cell, in particular, a concentrator photovoltaic cell, attached to a heat sink, injecting a current into the photovoltaic cell assembly, measuring the voltage across the photovoltaic cell during the current injection, and determining the relative voltage drop over the duration of the current injection, whereby insufficiently bonded photovoltaic cell assemblies can be identified and screened.

  • Patent number: 9154368
    Abstract: Reduction of data packet losses on updating of an address table, stored in a computer of a local network is provided. The address table comprises allocations of computer addresses, valid in the local network, to computer addresses valid in the Internet for transmission of data packets, whereby an address allocation stored in the address table is erased after expiry of a validity timer and the address allocation is firstly requested again and inserted in the address table when a data packet is transmitted to an address internet-valid address of a computer in the local network. During the updating of the address allocation, data packets for transmission are buffered in a buffer memory, the size of the buffer memory being configured corresponding to the expected load of the local network. The size of the buffer memory matches the expected load on the local network.

  • Publication number: 20080267197
    Abstract: A circuit assembly and an associated method are provided, which allow a user to autonomously influence the quality of the data that is to be transmitted, especially language data that is to be transmitted via the IP network, by controllingly addressing an adjusting unit via an evaluator and signalor when a selected coder-decoder is to be used.

  • Publication number: 20070253414
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method for preventing data packet losses when updating of an address table that is stored in a computer of a local area network and comprises allocations of computer addresses valid in the local area network to computer addresses valid in the Internet to mail data packets is provided. Accordingly, an address allocation stored in the address table is updated after an expiration of a timer. The computer requests the computer address valid in the local area network regarding the available computer address valid in the Internet for the address allocation. The determined computer address valid in the local area network is entered into the address allocation and the marking for the address allocation is cleared. Thus, an address allocation available is kept even when the address allocation is updated, resulting in preventing data packet losses and maintaining the quality of the local area network.
