Abstract: A photovoltaic module includes a photovoltaic panel and a frame securing to an edge of the photovoltaic panel. The frame includes a metal portion and a composite material of a plastic material and glass fibers or of a silicone resin and glass fibers. The composite material is integrated with the metal portion to form a unitary frame.

Abstract: A solar panel module includes a solar panel, a generally rectangular frame, a pair of bridge members and a beam. The solar panel has a light-receiving surface and a back surface on two opposite sides thereof. The generally rectangular frame is attached to all edges of the solar panel. The pair of bridge members are secured to a pair of parallel edges of the generally rectangular frame on the back surface of the solar panel. The beam is interconnected between the pair of bridge members, wherein each bridge member has a wider width than a width of the beam.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a photovoltaic panel and a method of manufacturing the same. The panel includes a front substrate, a photovoltaic cell on the front substrate, a moisture absorbing layer covering the cell to protect the cell from moisture intrusion, a back substrate on the moisture absorbing layer, and a sealant between the substrates. The method includes the steps of forming the photovoltaic cell on the front substrate, applying the moisture absorbing layer covering the cell, applying the sealant at or near the edges of the front substrate, and securing the back substrate to the front substrate.

Abstract: A photovoltaic panel assembly includes a photovoltaic panel of two opposite surfaces. A photovoltaic array is disposed on one of the two opposite surfaces. The heat sink is disposed over the other of the two opposite surfaces, wherein the heat sink comprises a wavy cross-section.

Abstract: A photovoltaic powered lighting device includes a protective frame, a photovoltaic module, and an LED lighting module. The photovoltaic module is fixed in the protective frame for transferring incident lights into electricity power. The LED lighting module is detachably disposed in the protective frame, so that the LED lighting module can be removed for replacement. Also, the LED lighting module electrically connects with the photovoltaic module.

Abstract: A method of making zeolite microneedles includes providing a polymer microneedles template, depositing zeolite seeds on the polymer microneedles template, and growing the zeolite seeds into an array of zeolite microneedles.

Abstract: A system (100) is disclosed that may transfer voice data from multiple channels between an asynchronous data network (102) and a synchronous data network (104). A system (100) may include an egress block and associated structures (200) and/or an ingress block and associated structures (900). An egress block (200) may read voice channel data from a local buffer (206) and write such data to a voice packet buffer memory (VPBM) (204). At least a portion of a VPBM write address may be generated from a time stamp value. An ingress block (900) may read voice channel data from a jitter buffer (918) and write such data to a local buffer (906). At least a portion of a jitter buffer read address may be generated from a time stamp value.
