  • Publication number: 20190328203
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cleaning container (1) for receiving household cleaning liquid, in particular for cleaning floors. The container comprises: a vessel (2) for a cleaning liquid (L), a basin (3) arranged such that a mop (100) is able to collect said liquid by absorption when the container is in the cleaning position, a partition (4) separating the vessel (2) for the cleaning liquid (L) from the basin (3), at least one opening (5) arranged in the partition (4) to allow the cleaning liquid to pass into the basin. The at least on opening (5) is in the vicinity of the bottom of the container and is permanently open. When the opening is submerged in the cleaning liquid, the vessel is airtight, such that the liquid flow is stopped and the liquid is in equilibrium between the vessel (2) and the basin (3). This arrangement provides for a constant level in the basin (3).

  • Patent number: 9865756
    Abstract: A method for producing a thin-film photovoltaic device (1), comprising the following steps: providing a substrate (2); placing a photovoltaic film (3) on said substrate by stacking layers comprising at least a first conductive layer (4) forming a rear electrical contact, a second photoactive layer (5) that is absorbent in the solar spectrum and is made from an inorganic material, and a third layer (6) made from a transparent conductive material forming a front electrical contact; —dividing the photovoltaic film into a plurality of individual and interconnected photovoltaic cells (30), —forming a plurality of individual holes (31) passing at least through the first and second layers of photovoltaic film in each cell, by applying a mask (8) according to a printing method, in particular material-jet digital printing, flexography, screen printing, or pad printing, said mask having main areas defining a positive or negative stencil for said holes. The present invention is applicable in the field of solar glazing.

  • Publication number: 20150295110
    Abstract: Thin-film photovoltaic device (1) comprising a substrate on which is deposited a photovoltaic film (3) comprising a first conductive layer forming a back electrical contact, a second photoactive layer that is absorbent in the solar spectrum and that is based on an inorganic material, and a third layer made of a transparent conductive material forming a front electrical contact, said photovoltaic film being divided to form a plurality of individual and interconnected photovoltaic cells (30), wherein it comprises a plurality of individual holes (31) at least passing through the first and second layers of the photovoltaic film in each cell, each hole having dimensions in the principle plane comprised between 10 nanometres and 400 microns, each hole being separated from the closest adjacent hole by a distance comprised between 5 nanometres and 400 microns, and each cell having an apertured area, corresponding to the area of the holes arranged in said cell in the principle plane, comprised between 10 and 90% of th
