Abstract: A method of fabricating a single-crystal silicon photovoltaic cell includes providing a single-crystal silicon wafer and a structural support member. The single-crystal silicon wafer has a first major surface and a second major surface. Each major surface extends along a major surface plane. The single-crystal silicon wafer has a thickness greater than 100 micrometers and a dimension greater than 50 mm. The method further includes mounting the structural support member to the first major surface or to the second major surface. The method further includes reducing thickness of the single-crystal silicon wafer to a thickness less than or equal to 100 micrometers while the single-crystal silicon wafer is mounted to the structural support member. The method further includes providing the first major surface with a diffusion and a metalization grid and providing the second major surface with a back surface contact.

Abstract: An eye shield comprises an elongated, flexible, spring-like frame member generally bowed along its length and biased toward an unsprung condition in which the ends are spaced apart a distance less than the width of a user's head, and a transparent, flexible eye covering member having a pair of first and second orifices for being removably secured on the frame member.

Abstract: An apparatus for receiving and locking a hypodermic needle hub inserted therein includes a container with a cavity and a top cover with ports. A hypodermic needle cannula and hub may be inserted into each port. Each port has a dimension smaller than the largest cross-sectional dimension of a respective hub. Hub engaging and locking components are secured adjacent the top cover for engaging each hub inserted into a port.

Abstract: A printed illustrated text, printed alphabetical text and printed illustrated index are all correlated to a set of recordings intended for audio visual display and which are in turn topically arranged. In addition the illustrated index may by themselves be recorded in their entireties for audio visual display. The illustrated text is presented by a main written portion heavily pictorialized by a key illustration and ancillary illustrations arranged in a predetermined sequence with ancillary supporting information. A conspicuously displaying cross-reference listing refers to other pertinent illustrated texts and topical audio visual recordings. The alphabetical text is correlated to pertinent portions of the illustrated text by having, on pertinent pages thereof, key illustrations from the illustrated text. It, in addition, carries cross-references to pertinent optical audio visual recordings as well as to other pertinent information in the system.

Abstract: A heavily illustrated, integrated and correlated system topically arranging information for ready location and comprehension through short descriptions, picture stories, expanded illustrated narratives, or combinations thereof, which are complete in and of themselves, and are cross-referenced and indexed by both illustrations and words or combinations of same. An illustrated comprehensive text, an illustrated alphabetical text, and an illustrated index cooperate to arrange the information within the system.The illustrated comprehensive text includes numerous articles on selected subjects. Each article includes a main written text, and is heavily pictorialized with a key illustration and ancillary illustrations arranged in a predetermined sequence. Ancillary text, directed only to the illustrations, is disposed proximate to its respective illustration and is correspondingly sequenced. Cross referencing is accomplished by a listing disposed conspicuously in a marginal position.
