Tim Dennis has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Method of fabricating a solar cell with a tunnel dielectric layer
    Patent number: 8334161
    Abstract: Methods of fabricating solar cells with tunnel dielectric layers are described. Solar cells with tunnel dielectric layers are also described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 2, 2010
    Date of Patent: December 18, 2012
    Assignee: SunPower Corporation
    Inventors: Tim Dennis, Scott Harrington, Jane Manning, David Smith, Ann Waldhauer
  • Golf glove
    Patent number: 8261372
    Abstract: A golf glove comprises a palm portion and a plurality of digits comprised of a first material. A plurality of grip pads of a second material such as silicone is provided on the digits and/or the palm portion. The grip pads comprise a plurality of bumps having geometric shapes. In at least one embodiment, the bumps are hexagonal in shape. The bumps may be provided directly on the first material of the glove or may be provided on a thin base layer. The bumps are arranged on the glove such that they contact the grip of a golf club when the golf club is gripped by a golfer. Accordingly, the bumps may be positioned on tip portions of the fingers and thumb and also along a line extending between a hypothenar region of the palm and a portion of the palm located between the finger and thumb.

  • PROCESS AND STRUCTURES FOR FABRICATION OF SOLAR CELLS
    Publication number: 20120204926
    Abstract: Contact holes of solar cells are formed by laser ablation to accommodate various solar cell designs. Use of a laser to form the contact holes is facilitated by replacing films formed on the diffusion regions with a film that has substantially uniform thickness. Contact holes may be formed to deep diffusion regions to increase the laser ablation process margins. The laser configuration may be tailored to form contact holes through dielectric films of varying thicknesses.
