Abstract: A photovoltaic (PV) energy system includes a pulsed bus defined by a non-zero average value voltage that is proportional to a rectified utility grid AC supply voltage. The PV energy system also includes a plurality of PV modules, each PV module including a bucking circuit configured to convert a corresponding PV voltage into a pulsing current, wherein the pulsating bus is configured to sum the pulsing currents produced via the plurality of PV modules such that a resultant pulsing current is injected into the pulsating bus in phase with the non-zero average value voltage. A current unfolding circuit is configured to control the amount of AC current injected into the utility grid in response to the resultant pulsing current.

Abstract: The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides which comprise an amino acid sequence consisting of a mutated functional Abl kinase domain, said mutated functional kinase domain being resistant to inhibition of its tyrosine kinase activity by N-[4-methyl-3-(4-pyridin-3-yl-pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-phenyl]-4-(4-methyl-piperazin-1 -ylmethyl)-benzamide or a salt thereof, to the use of such polypeptides to screen for compounds which inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of such polypeptides, to nucleic acid molecules encoding such polypeptides, to recombinant vectors and host cells comprising such nucleic acid molecules and to the use of such nucleic acid molecules in the production of such polypeptides for use in screening for compounds which inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of such polypeptides.

Abstract: A solar tile system is disclosed. The solar tile system includes a fluorescence collector having multiple edges and configured to receive light through a face and configured to direct light towards the edges by total internal reflectance. The system also includes a photovoltaic cell coupled to at least one of the edges and configured to receive the light and convert the light to electrical power. The system further includes an optically matched interface layer disposed between the fluorescence collector and the photovoltaic cell at the at least one edge.

Abstract: A building element such as a roof tile, window pane, or building façade element includes a fluorescence collector comprising a substrate and particles dispersed in the substrate to absorb light from a plurality of directions and radiate the absorbed light. The fluorescence collector has opposing surfaces and a connecting surface between the opposing surfaces. A solar energy converter is configured for receiving radiated light from the fluorescence collector.
