Publication number: 20240088314Abstract: A vertically selective liftoff scribing process is provided. One application is the fabrication of solar cells and solar modules. The basis of this technology is absorption of an indirectly focused laser beam in the front electrode material of the device, which enables removal of this layer (e.g., a P1 scribe) or removal of layers above the front electrode while leaving the front electrode intact (e.g., a P2 or P3 scribe). The laser fluence can be selected to choose between these alternatives, and further fine tuning is possible depending on details of the device structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Austin FLICK, Reinhold H. DAUSKARDT

Publication number: 20220125612Abstract: In one aspect, an obesity treatment device includes multiple inflatable space-filling compartments and a valve system for introducing fluid into each compartment, where the device forms, upon filing the compartments, to a curved shape conforming to a natural three-dimensional kidney shape of the stomach. In one aspect, a method for deploying a gastric balloon structure in a gastric cavity includes determining dimensions of the gastric cavity in a feeding state, selecting a fill volume for each of a number of isolated chambers of the balloon structure, and filling each chamber while the balloon structure is in the gastric cavity. In one aspect, a system for treating obesity includes a means for conforming a flexible, space-filling structure to a natural kidney shape of the gastric cavity, a means for maintaining at least two isolated inflatable regions of the flexible, space-filling structure, and a means for introducing fluid into each inflatable region.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2021Publication date: April 28, 2022Applicant: Fulfillium, Inc.Inventors: Richard D.Y.

Patent number: 11246763Abstract: Devices, bandages, kits and methods are described that can control or regulate the mechanical environment of a wound to ameliorate scar and/or keloid formation. The mechanical environment of a wound includes stress, strain, and any combination of stress and strain. The control of a wound's mechanical environment can be active, passive, dynamic, or static. The devices are configured to be removably secured to a skin surface in proximity to the wound site and shield the wound from endogenous and/or exogenous stress.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2018Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior UniversityInventors: Geoffrey C.

Patent number: 10636632Abstract: Improved deposition of optoelectronically active perovskite materials is provided with a two step process. In the first step, precursors are deposited on a substrate. In the second step, the deposited precursors are exposed to an atmospheric pressure plasma which efficiently cures the precursors to provide the desired perovskite thin film. The resulting films can have excellent optical properties combined with superior mechanical properties.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2018Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior UniversityInventors: Florian Hilt, Michael Q.

Publication number: 20180286998Abstract: Mechanical scaffolds within optoelectronic devices are provided to enhance the overall thermomechanical and chemical stability of these devices. For example, extremely fragile perovskite solar cells were reinforced by scaffolding in the following way: following printing, the scaffold was sequentially filled with an electron (hole) transport layer, photoactive perovskite semiconductor, a hole (electron) transport layer, and finally capped with a top electrode. The scaffold provided structural reinforcement to the fragile perovskite layer and inhibited crack formation in the layer that would lead to device failure.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2018Publication date: October 4, 2018Inventors: Brian Lyndon Watson, Nicholas Rolston, Adam Printz, Reinhold H.
