  • Patent number: 10572645
    Abstract: A credential for use in an access control system may include a first sector including first data of a first database type, and a second sector including second data of a second database type. The credential may further include a third sector including third data related to the second data. The first database type and the second database type may be different types.

  • Patent number: 10389202
    Abstract: A contaminant-resistant motor may include an endbell with hermetic sealing of control components within a control module cavity in the endbell. The endbell configuration includes a front wall that isolates the control module cavity from contaminant-prone area of the motor assembly. The stator leads may be sealed within the lead passages using glass or other seals to further isolate the stator leads and control module cavity against ingress of contaminating liquids from the motor interior. The endbell configuration permits larger bearing elements to be used. A method of assembly of the motor may involve first fixture to align the stator, housing and REB to ensure concentric alignment of the stator to housing and the REB to the housing and a second fixture to isolate front and rear bearing bores and the stator inner diameter from encapsulation material and permit the stator to be molded to the housing.

  • Patent number: 10381505
    Abstract: A multijunction solar cell includes an upper first solar subcell having a first band gap, a second solar subcell having a second band gap smaller than the first band gap, and a first graded interlayer composed of (InxGa1-x)yAl1-yAs adjacent to the second solar subcell. The first graded interlayer has a third band gap greater than the second band gap subject to the constraints of having the in-plane lattice parameter greater or equal to that of the second subcell and less than or equal to that of the third subcell, wherein 0<x<1 and 0<y<1, and x and y are selected such that the band gap of the first graded interlayer remains constant throughout its thickness at 1.5 eV. A third solar subcell is adjacent to the first graded interlayer and has a fourth band gap smaller than the second band gap such that the third subcell is lattice mismatched with respect to the second subcell.

  • Patent number: 10374112
    Abstract: A multijunction solar cell includes an upper first solar subcell, a second solar subcell adjacent to the first solar subcell, a third solar subcell adjacent to the second solar subcell, and a graded interlayer adjacent to the third solar subcell. The graded interlayer has a band gap that is greater than the band gap of the third solar subcell and is composed of a compositionally step-graded series of (InxGa1-x)yAl1-yAs layers with monotonically changing lattice constant, with x and y having respective values such that the band gap of the graded interlayer remains constant throughout its thickness, and wherein 0<x<1 and 0<y<1. A fourth solar subcell is adjacent to the graded interlayer and is lattice mismatched with respect to the third solar subcell. The graded interlayer provides a transition in lattice constant from the third solar subcell to the fourth solar subcell. A lower fifth solar subcell is adjacent to the fourth solar subcell.
