  • Publication number: 20240105866
    Abstract: A photo-voltaic element comprising a stack of layers is disclosed, as well as a method of making the photo-voltaic element. The stack of layers at least includes the following: a first electrode layer, a first charge carrier transport layer, an insulating layer, a second electrode layer, a second charge carrier transport layer, and a photo-electric conversion layer. The photo-electric conversion layer comprises a plurality of distributed extensions extending through the second charge carrier transport layer, the second electrode layer, and the insulating layer, to the first charge carrier transport layer. The distributed extensions have an effective cross-section Deff in the range of 0.5 to 10 micron, and have an average pitch in the range of 1.1 to 5 times said effective cross-section.

  • Publication number: 20150342101
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of apple tree named ‘G.814.’ ‘G.814’ is useful in that it can be propagated clonally and used as a rootstock or root system for apple trees as well as for interstems of apple trees. When used as a rootstock, ‘G.814’, is: dwarfing, induces scion precocity, is cold hardy, induces scion precocity, has a high yield efficiency, is tolerant to replant disease, and is resistant to: crown and root rot (Phytophthora cactorum), fire-blight (Erwinia amylovora), and powdery mildew. ‘G.814’ is susceptible to Apple Stem Grooving Virus (ASGV) and wooly apple aphid.

  • Publication number: 20010040898
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of transferring a number of carried data streams (a, b, c, d) via a common carrying data stream (1), from a first table operated device (A) to a second table operated device (B). A so-called carried data stream is a sequence of mutually associated stream elements. The carrying data stream is organised into frames and each frame includes stream elements belonging to one or more different carried data streams. Frame multiplexing is used to combine stream elements belonging to one or more different data streams into a common frame, wherein used frame structures include a frame descriptive index which is included by a reference to a position in a frame descriptive table (FDTA, FDTB). A control stream (a, a′) is established between a control device (23, 23′), the first table operated device (A) and the second table operated device (B).

  • Patent number: 4879774
    Abstract: Disclosed is a nestable bed. The bed includes a rectangular frame adapted to receive a mattress. The frame has a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis. A pair of first legs are mounted to a first end of the frame with the legs lying in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A pair of second legs are mounted on opposite sides of the frame with the second legs lying in spaced apart planes perpendicular to the transverse axis of the frame. The first and second legs are skewed or canted such that substantially identical beds may be nested on top of each other with their sides and ends coincident. Rollers are mounted to the first legs such that the bed may be stood on end and rolled about.
