Patent number: 12280372Abstract: The present invention relates to a near-field acoustic platform capable of synthesizing high resolution, arbitrarily shaped energy potential wells. A thin and viscoelastic membrane is utilized to modulate acoustic wavefront on a deep, sub-wavelength scale by suppressing the structural vibration selectively on the platform. This new acoustic wavefront modulation mechanism is powerful for manufacturing complex biologic products.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2020Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Pei Yu E. Chiou, Kuan-Wen Tung, Benjamin M. Wu

Publication number: 20140332057Abstract: A solar module is disclosed. The solar module includes a back sheet, a transparent substrate, a plurality of solar cells disposed between the back sheet and the transparent substrate, and an encapsulant for fastening the solar cells therebetween. The back sheet includes a light-receiving surface facing the solar cells, and a back surface opposite to the light-receiving surface. The reflectivity of the light-receiving surface is greater than 90%, and the reflectivity of the back surface is less than 10%. Therefore, the back sheet can have high reflectivity and high thermal radiation rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2014Publication date: November 13, 2014Applicant: AU Optronics CorporationInventors: Kuan-Wen TUNG, Chiuan-Ting LI, Huang-Chi TSENG, Chun-Ming YANG, Wei-Jieh LEE
