Abstract: A grounding system for a photovoltaic or solar cell array includes a strap positioned over adjacent solar module frames and a grounding clip positioned between the adjacent solar module frames and a docking support surface. The grounding clip has two regions of upwardly and downwardly extending protrusions and a through-hole disposed between the two regions. Each protrusion has a serrate portion adapted to penetrate through anodized layers of the solar module frames and the docking support surface for the solar module frames.

Abstract: An implantable cardiac defibrillation device diminishes fibrosis of a defibrillation electrode. The device includes an implantable lead having a defibrillation electrode adapted for implant in one of the superior vena cava and right ventricle of a heart, a pulse generator adapted to be coupled to the defibrillation electrode that provides defibrillation energy to the defibrillation electrode, and a power supply that maintains a negative voltage on the defibrillation electrode in the absence of defibrillating energy being provided to the defibrillation electrode.

Abstract: A mounting structure for a solar panel unit, and a system of solar panel units are disclosed that are easy to manufacture and to install. The mounting structure has a relatively simple frame that can be formed by sheet metal bending operations. The solar panel unit also has a smooth exterior surface reducing wind uplift forces on the panel unit and the system.

Abstract: An output circuit for use in an implantable cardiac defibrillation provides an output pulse having a waveform of virtually any desired shape. The device includes a sensing circuit that senses cardiac activity. An arrhythmia detector detects fibrillation responsive to the cardiac activity signal. The device further includes an output circuit that provides a stimulation output pulse when the arrhythmia detector detects a cardiac arrhythmia. The output circuit includes an H-bridge having a pair of switching devices which control the output pulse waveform with pulse-width modulation and a second pair of switching devices that control the output pulse polarity.
