Patent number: 11915570Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for displaying status of a gas concentrator. The systems and methods include, for example, a display having a plurality of illuminable segments. The illuminable segments can be illuminated to form one or more displays indicating system status. The system status includes, for example, warmup, normal operation, low priority alarm(s), high-priority alarms, etc. In one embodiment, the systems and methods also read oxygen values of the gas concentrating system as one basis for determining system status. Other bases are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Ventec Life Systems, Inc.Inventors: Michael J. Budinger, Kevin R. Starkey

Patent number: 10090430Abstract: A high efficiency configuration for a solar cell module comprises solar cells conductively bonded to each other in a shingled manner to form super cells, which may be arranged to efficiently use the area of the solar module, reduce series resistance, and increase module efficiency. The front surface metallization patterns on the solar cells may be configured to enable single step stencil printing, which is facilitated by the overlapping configuration of the solar cells in the super cells. A solar photovoltaic system may comprise two or more such high voltage solar cell modules electrically connected in parallel with each other and to an inverter. Solar cell cleaving tools and solar cell cleaving methods apply a vacuum between bottom surfaces of a solar cell wafer and a curved supporting surface to flex the solar cell wafer against the curved supporting surface and thereby cleave the solar cell wafer along one or more previously prepared scribe lines to provide a plurality of solar cells.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2016Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: SunPower CorporationInventors: Ratson Morad, Gilad Almogy, Itai Suez, Jean Hummel, Nathan Beckett, Yafu Lin, John Gannon, Michael J.

Publication number: 20180046933Abstract: A quantum computing emulation platform may be used to control operation of a quantum computing emulation device in performing, by analog electronic circuits within the device, a quantum computing exercise. The platform may include a master controller to determine an initial quantum state for the exercise, a number and sequence of gate operations to be applied in sets of execution runs, and a transformation type for each run, to define and allocate storage for data collection variables, to initiate performance of the exercise by the device, and to store results. The platform may include a set controller to prepare control values for the gate operations and to prepare the platform to collect results, and a run controller to provide the control values for each run to the device and record results. The control values may control switches on the device and program analog electronic circuits to perform particular gate operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2017Publication date: February 15, 2018Inventors: Brian R. La Cour, Michael J. Starkey, Corey I. Ostrove
