Abstract: Described are various embodiments of a system and method for controlling film thickness, and a film deposition system and method using same. In one such embodiments, a vapour deposition system for spatially controlling a deposited film thickness on a substrate comprises: an emission source; a substrate holder; and a translatable shutter comprising a flux barrier disposed between said emission source and the substrate and operable to translate said flux barrier through a deposition flux according to a designated linear translation profile designated to spatially control the deposited film thickness.

Abstract: A beam-to-column connection assembly for a building, including a column having a fixture assembly mounted on a side face of the column, and a beam having a fixture assembly on an end portion of the beam. The fixture assemblies are engaged, forming a connection structure joining the column to the beam at a ninety degree angle. The connection structure provides a moment connection between the column and the beam when being assembled with additional beams and columns, and provides a simple connection between the column and beam when the building is fully constructed.

Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device includes a network interface to connect to a computer network, a display port operating as a display input, an input/output port, memory having a plurality of profiles, and a processor coupled to the memory. In some examples, the processor is to change an operation of the input/output port based on a profile of the plurality of profiles. In some examples, the processor is to change the display port from the display input to a display output based on the profile of the plurality of profiles.

Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to solar module mounting and racking. More specifically, this disclosure relates to integrated solar racking systems, which facilitate slide and snap in place mounting technology that achieves solar module mounting and electrical grounding. This design eliminates the need for mounting fasteners and tools, and facilitates reliable and repeatable installation.

Abstract: Provided are a locking device, a photovoltaic module mounting structure and a photovoltaic system. The locking device includes a blocking portion, a plug portion, and a guide portion. The blocking portion protrudes from the guide rail and is provided with a clamping groove for clamping a frame of the solar module. The plug portion is connected to the blocking portion, and the plug portion is configured to be in plug-in fit with the guide rail. The guide portion is connected to the blocking portion and provided with a guide ramp, one end of the guide ramp is flush with a notch of the clamping groove, and the other end of the guide ramp extends obliquely downward along a length direction of the guide rail.

Abstract: A lighted guide post assembly for a boat trailer is provided. The assembly includes a square tubular angled support post that attaches to a boat trailer, a translucent circular outer tube that covers the square support post, and strips of lights that suspend within the interior of the outer tube between the outer tube and the square support post. This arrangement allows the guide post to glow on four sides without light bleeding together from adjacent sides of the guide post.

Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to integrated grounding for solar modules and electrical wire management, and more specifically, to grounding clips and tabs that are integrated into solar module racking systems.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying a position of a mobile platform. Images are provided by a camera system on a first mobile platform. The images include images of a second platform. An identified position of the first mobile platform is generated using the images and the position information for the second platform. The position information for the second platform identifies a location of the second platform.

Abstract: A secure packaging unit utilizing an open top container that is filled and an intermediary section having an integral removable seal fixedly attached thereto after the open top container is filled thereby sealing the contents therein. A user is able to break out the removable seal and replace a standard lid upon the intermediary section/open top container combination thereby capping and containing the contents therein. Such a unit allows a pharmacist to fill a prescription in a manner that prevents third parties from tampering with the filled prescription between the time of filling and the time the customer removes the removable seal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of liquefying a gaseous, methane-rich feed to obtain a liquefied product by supplying the gaseous, methane-rich feed at elevated pressure to a first tube side of a main heat exchanger at its warm end, cooling, liquefying and sub-cooling the gaseous, methane-rich feed against evaporating refrigerant to get a liquefied stream, removing the liquefied stream from the main heat exchanger at its cold end and passing the liquefied stream to storage as liquefied product, removing evaporated refrigerant from the shell side of the main heat exchanger at its warm end, compressing in at least one refrigerant compressor the evaporated refrigerant to get high-pressure refrigerant, partly condensing the high-pressure refrigerant and separating the partly-condensed refrigerant into a liquid heavy refrigerant fraction and a gaseous light refrigerant fraction, sub-cooling the heavy refrigerant fraction in a second tube side of the main heat exchanger to get a sub-cooled heavy refriger
