  • Patent number: 11817512
    Abstract: Approaches for foil-based metallization of solar cells and the resulting solar cells are described. For example, a method of fabricating a solar cell involves locating a metal foil above a plurality of alternating N-type and P-type semiconductor regions disposed in or above a substrate. The method also involves laser welding the metal foil to the alternating N-type and P-type semiconductor regions. The method also involves patterning the metal foil by laser ablating through at least a portion of the metal foil at regions in alignment with locations between the alternating N-type and P-type semiconductor regions. The laser welding and the patterning are performed at the same time.

  • Patent number: 11582135
    Abstract: Systems and methods for constrained path computation in networks with connectivity and resource availability rules build the necessary constraints directly into the routing graph so that all paths found are by construction satisfying of all the constraints. This is in contrast to the conventional approach of finding multiple paths and then applying the constraints. The present disclosure efficiently addresses the necessary constraints in the routing graph. Path Computation Engine (PCE) performance in terms of time to return acceptable paths to the user generically degrades as network scale (typically expressed through length and number of paths) increases. The present disclosure keeps the input graph small even though the graphs have expanded functionality to address constraints.

  • Patent number: 11466955
    Abstract: A portable camera may be activated in response to the activity of a firearm. Furthermore, an individual who discharged a firearm may be identified. Furthermore, information related to the firing of a firearm may be recorded, assessed, identified and transmitted. Furthermore, the status of an implement at a mount may be monitored. Furthermore, a charging device for delivering electrical power to components of a firearm may be used. A communications channel may be established between a firearm telematics sensor and a video camera, optionally by means of intermediary devices. A communications channel may be established between a mount (e.g., holster) telematics device and local and/or remote monitoring service components, optionally by means of intermediary devices. When the telematics sensor detects that its associated firearm has been removed from a holster, is in motion, or is being discharged, the telematics sensor may signal the video camera to initiate recording.
