  • Publication number: 20150107653
    Abstract: An article of manufacture (400) includes a number of photovoltaic cells (102) forming a photovoltaic (PV) module circuit, with a first bus bar (106) electrically coupled to one extremity of the PV module circuit and a second bus (206) bar electrically coupled to a second extremity of the PV module. The bus bars (106, 206) are positioned on an opposing side of the PV cells (104, 204) from a light incident side of the PV cells.

  • Publication number: 20020104574
    Abstract: Flexible medical grade PVC tubing has inner and outer layers coextruded with different plasticizers, with the first, inside layer of the tubing containing a plasticizer, such as di-ethylhexyl adipate, and having a thickness adapted to limit migration of a second plasticizer, such as di-ethylhexyl phthalate, from a second, outer layer of the tubing to the inside of the tubing. The flexible medical grade tubing can optionally include a third, outermost layer surrounding the second layer and containing a plasticizer such as di-ethylhexyl adipate, so that the third layer limits migration of the second plasticizer to the outside of the tubing.
