  • Publication number: 20230361717
    Abstract: The original Abstract is canceled in favor of the new Abstract presented on the following page. A system composed of a photovoltaic module, itself composed of a multilayer housed in a frame and of at least one anti-vibration device that is able to be fixed with respect to the multilayer and in which the photovoltaic module as a whole has a total mass, a modal mass, and a natural frequency of vibration; the at least one anti-vibration device has: a mass, a natural frequency equal to a natural frequency of vibration of said photovoltaic module considered on its own, to within 15%, and a level of damping of the anti-vibration device considered on its own, equal to at least twice the level of damping of said photovoltaic module considered on its own.

  • Patent number: 9571033
    Abstract: A method for controlling the internal pressure of a photovoltaic module having a front plate, rear plate, photovoltaic cells, electrical interconnection conductors, and peripheral seal, in which the conductors are in pressure contact with the cells, under the effect of a force resulting from a vacuum prevailing inside the module. The method includes: a) gradually reducing the pressure of a gas quantity around the module; b) detecting, during step a), a physical parameter representative of the actual pressing of the interconnection conductors against the cells; and c) determining a value of the internal pressure of the module on the basis of a variation in the physical parameter. The control facility comprises an enclosure for receiving the module inside a gas quantity, the enclosure including elements for: reducing the pressure of this gas quantity, detecting a physical parameter representative of the actual pressing, and determining the internal pressure of the module.

  • Publication number: 20110159520
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a hybrid protein including the sequence of a first membrane receptor fused at its C-terminus to the N-terminus of an ion channel, and possibly containing a linker between the C-terminus of the first membrane receptor and the N-terminus part of the ion channel, the linker being absent in the natural configuration of the first membrane receptor and the ion channel, as a biosensor for: the screening of drugs modulating the activity of the first membrane receptor in its natural configuration, and/or for the in vitro diagnosis of pathologies associated with the presence or the variation of amount of a molecule modifying the activity of the first membrane receptor in its natural configuration.
