  • High concentration, spectrum spitting, broad bandwidth, hologram photovoltaic solar collector
    Publication number: 20090114266
    Abstract: An improved method of converting solar energy into electricity by spreading the solar spectrum and concentrating it onto solar cells that are band-gaped in the corresponding wavelength range. The spectrally separated solar energy can be concentrated into a normal rainbow line or spread out to individual regions. A low cost solar energy conversion collector results because concentration reduces the quantity of photovoltaic cells needed and spectral splitting increases the energy collected by using multiple appropriately band-gaped solar cells in the different wavelengths.

  • Vehicle-mountable, suspension monitoring system
    Publication number: 20040220708
    Abstract: A vehicle-mountable, suspension monitoring system produces suspension-analysis information which can be used to determine adjustments to a vehicle suspension. Sensor structure located adjacent the vehicle suspension is connected to a control/processing/display (CPD) unit located adjacent the vehicle operator. The sensor structure senses suspension related information and communicates the suspension related information to the CPD unit. The CPD unit receives the suspension related information and converts it to suspension-analysis information. The CPD unit stores the suspension-analysis information and displays it to the vehicle operator. Alternatively, the suspension-analysis information is downloaded from the CPD unit to a digital computer for display as waveform data.
