  • Publication number: 20170108573
    Abstract: A method for solar tracking and light collection is revealed. Two motors are used to control a light collector rotating in the north-south direction and a frame rotating in the east-west direction respectively to aim the light collector toward the sun for collecting sunlight all the times. The two motors work according to a path table produced by calculation of elevation angles and roll angles.

  • Publication number: 20130098426
    Abstract: A leveling device for concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) modules rapidly adjusts a height level of CPV modules on a tracking system. The device makes the CPV modules receive most sunlight for outputting maximum power. The device rapidly adjusts the height level of CPV modules, reduces number of nuts required and, thus, shortens the adjusting time even after the CPV modules are installed.

    Abstract: A wire bonder suitable for wire bonding a chip disposed on a carrier and bonding pads of the carrier is provided. The wire bonder includes a stage, a heater plate, a compression plate, a pair of clamping bases, a pair of extended blocks and a capillary. The heater plate is disposed on the stage. The compression plate arranged above the heater plate is able to move upward or downward for compressing the carrier. The clamping bases are arranged at two opposite sides of the compression plate, wherein the length of the compression plate does not match with the distance between the clamping bases. A pair of extended blocks is connected to a pair of clamping bases at one end, respectively, and connected to the compression plate at the other. The capillary is arranged above the compression plate for forming the bonding wires electrically connecting the chip and the carrier.
