  • Patent number: 9097579
    Abstract: An electrical calibrated radiometer includes a base, a suspension unit extending from the base, and a first heat measuring unit and a second heat measuring unit formed in the base. By applying a known voltage to the first heat measuring unit, the first heat measuring unit could serve as a thermal background for the second heat measuring unit, and an absolute temperature of a heat source could be determined with high precision from output voltages of the second heat measuring unit.

  • Publication number: 20150068577
    Abstract: A solar panel includes a substrate, plural solar cells, wires, and plural bypass diodes. The substrate includes a bottom area, a middle area, and a top area vertically arranged from bottom to top. The middle area includes a first zone, a second zone and a third zone horizontally arranged from left to right. The solar cells are disposed on the substrate in columns and in rows. The bottom area includes at least two rows of the solar cells. The top area includes at least two rows of the solar cells. The wires serially connect the solar cells. The bypass diodes are disposed on the substrate, in which each of the first zone, the second zone, the third zone, the bottom area and the top area is disposed with at least one of the bypass diodes.
