  • Publication number: 20140150816
    Abstract: Various embodiments herein include at least one of systems, methods, and software to facilitate automatic solar power surface-cleaning. Such embodiments include at least one automatic solar power surface-cleaning robot that uses no water or external power, continuously cleans the solar power surfaces and requires no maintenance or external power. The solar power surface-cleaning robot is easy to retrofit in an existing solar power generation plant. An automatic solar power surface-cleaner uses high-voltage AC electric fields to sweep particulates and debris as the robot traverses the surface to be cleaned. Photovoltaic solar cells supply the power for the robot. No external power is required. The robot clamps to the surface to be cleaned at the edges using motor driven rollers. Electronics inside the device generate high-voltage AC that is applied to conductors close to the surface to be cleaned.

  • Publication number: 20130182554
    Abstract: A Core Service Platform (CSP) system is integrated with an operator network and IT system to provide services to subscribers and operators. Based on information collected from the operator network and IT system, the CSP system delivers alerts to a subscriber's device and provides offers to resolve the condition causing the alerts. The CSP system provides customized contextual offers to the subscriber's device based on contextual assessments of a subscriber's current context, such as time in contract, loyalty status, data and voice usage, value of customer, time, location and purchase history. The CSP system also provides an operator a suite of tools for the operator to manage its pricing, offers, campaigns and other subscriber-related issues.
