Abstract: A system and a method of securing and sealing a roof attachment to a roof surface is disclosed. A roof attachment may include a base, a protective covering, volume of sealant, and a release mechanism. The release mechanism includes one or more release slides. The release slides may have one or more mechanism apertures to receive a fastener. The release slide may have one or more flexible tabs that cooperate with one or more indentation or flanges or grooves in base to substantially retain the release slide.

Abstract: A capsule for delivering sealant for fastener is disclosed. A capsule includes a cavity that contains an amount of sealant, a perimeter wall and a top cap that define the cavity, where the top cap is configured align with an interior contour of the perimeter wall and collapse through the perimeter wall; and one or more breakaway tabs disposed on the perimeter wall, wherein the breakaway tabs are configured to resist a release of sealant within the cavity.

Abstract: A coupling clamp is provided that includes a top clamp and a bottom clamp. The top clamp may include a top vertical flange and a top lateral flange. The bottom clamp may include a bottom vertical flange and one or more bottom lateral flanges that extend laterally in opposite directions. At least one of the bottom lateral flanges may include a first portion having a surface configured to engage with a solar module and a second portion connected to the bottom vertical flange at an intersection below the surface of the first portion. The coupling clamp may be installed onto one or more solar modules that are positioned onto a rail that has an installed rail clamp. Another solar module may be positioned on the coupling clamp and rail and then slid under the rail clamp, which may be tightened to secure the other solar module to the rail.

Abstract: Apparatuses for roof attachment are provided, as well as methods for assembling and installing roof attachment apparatuses. An exemplary roof attachment apparatus may include a mount and a fastener configured to engage with an installation surface. The fastener may be configured to attach the mount to the installation surface when engaged with the installation surface. The roof attachment apparatus may further include a compressible sealant disposed between a bottom of the mount and the installation surface when the mount is attached to the installation surface. The sealant may thus be compressed based on the engagement between the fastener and the installation surface, and the compressed sealant may flow to fill a volume of space between the bottom of the mount and the installation surface.

Abstract: Solid-state laminate electrode assemblies and various methods for making the solid-state laminate electrode assemblies involve a lithium metal layer reactively bonded to a lithium ion conducting sulfide glass layer. During manufacture, highly reactive surfaces of the lithium metal layer and the lithium ion conducting sulfide glass layer are maintained in its substantially unpassivated state until they have been reactively bonded.

Abstract: A water activated lithium battery cell having a thermal agent component for warming up cell components upon deployment. Also a water-activated battery system that is adapted to operate in and/or on the surface of a waterbody (i.e., a body of water including those which are natural or man made). In various embodiments the battery system comprises an operably breachable hermetic enclosure and at least one lithium battery cell having an open-cathode architecture, the lithium cell disposed inside the hermetic enclosure and therein maintained in an open ionic circuit condition (i.e., an inactive state) throughout battery system storage. Moreover, optionally, a thermal agent may be disposed inside the hermetic enclosure for warming up one or more battery cell components, the agent typically water activated, which is to mean that it (the thermal agent) evolves heat by reacting with water.
