Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for operating an exchange service for renewable energy resources. In one embodiment, an exchange service, implemented on an exchange entity server, receives inputs from property entities related to assets available for installation of a renewable energy setup. The exchange server places this asset in a marketplace, allowing other provider entities to place a bid for installing the renewable energy setup at a location associated with the asset. Examples of the provider entities include a developer entity, a manufacturer entity, a financier entity, etc. In embodiments, the marketplace enables interaction among the provider entities to enable the provider entities to develop and place a composite bid for a selected asset available through the marketplace.

Abstract: A turn-to-turn grooved insulating tube includes a tubular member having a substantially continuous rib helix formed on an outer surface. The rib helix defines a substantially continuous helical groove for receiving a conductor for forming a coil of a transformer.

Abstract: A CMOS data register includes a master stage and a slave stage. The master stage is formed of first transfer gates and first storage devices. The slave stage is formed of second transfer gates, second storage devices and third transfer gates. The transfer gates and storage devices are formed of MOS transistors of one conductivity which decreases layout complexity and reduces the amount of chip area required. The data register is formed of a fewer number of transistor components, thereby reducing the loading on the clock signals.

Abstract: An edible food coating in the form of a batter which is applied to an item of food such as chicken and the like. The batter coating includes a fluid shortening which contains a solid triglyceride largely in the beta crystal form, a food grade binder and breading materials. The coated food product, when baked, has the attributes of a batter-coated, deep fat fried, or pan fried food product.
