Abstract: A fireproof recessed light fixture for receiving a light source comprises a metal housing defining an open end for receiving the light source and a closed end. The housing comprises an annular shoulder at the open end for abutting a wall into which the recessed light fixture is installed. The housing comprises a first wall of generally cylindrical shape extending between the open and closed ends and a second wall defining the closed end of the housing. Both first and second walls have thicknesses between 0.5 and 1 mm and are completely sealed so to prevent air flow between an interior and an exterior of the housing other than through the open end and through an opening for feeding through cables for electrical energy supply. The first and second walls render the recessed light fixture fireproof by preventing high temperatures or fire from propagating quickly through the housing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an antireflective coating comprising an amorphous silicon carbide-based film, which film further comprises hydrogen atoms and optionally further comprises oxygen and/or nitrogen, the film having an effective refractive index (n) between 2.3 and 2.7 and an extinction coefficient (k) of less than 0.01 at a wavelength of 630 nm. The present invention also relates to methods for preparing the antireflective coating and to solar cells comprising the antireflective coating.

Abstract: A method for forming a film on a substrate comprising: heating a solid organosilane source in a heating chamber to form a gaseous precursor; transferring the gaseous precursor to a deposition chamber; and reacting the gaseous precursor using an energy source to form the film on the substrate. The film comprises Si and C, and optionally comprises other elements such as N, O, F, B, P, or a combination thereof.
