Abstract: This invention patent application addresses a system for the detection and quantification of mineralogical species via x-ray diffraction (XRD) of the concentrate of dry copper before it is injected into a converter or melting furnace. Specifically, it addresses a device that performs a mineralogical analysis, in line and in real time, of the concentrate of copper in the bath smelting furnace via x-ray diffraction (XRD), which allows for control over the ideal mixture for the optimal process for copper sulfide (Cu2S)-white metal, iron sulfide (FeS)-Slag and pyritic sulfur (S2)-temperature.

Abstract: A flexible solar cell assembly having solar cells that are positioned within a sealed module chamber. A sealed wiring chamber is positioned on an end of the sealed module chamber and is interposed between the sealed module chamber and a junction box. Wiring interconnecting the junction box to the solar cells in the sealed module chamber is routed through the sealed wiring chamber to inhibit water entry into the sealed module chamber via the wiring.
