  • Patent number: 9685280
    Abstract: An operating mechanism for a switchgear unit is disclosed. The operating unit includes an input drive shaft operable to rotate and counter-rotate. A trip linkage has a cam disk rotatably coupled to the input drive shaft and is coupled to a spring-drive mechanism for opening and closing the vacuum interrupter. An over-center linkage has a drive link rotatably coupled to the input drive shaft, and a follower link for opening and closing the isolating disconnect. Rotation of the input drive shaft through a first range drives the trip linkage for opening the vacuum interrupter and moves the drive link though an over-center position without opening the isolating disconnect. Rotation of the input drive shaft though a second range drives the over-center linkage for opening the isolating disconnect after the vacuum interrupter is opened.

  • Publication number: 20130014813
    Abstract: The invention disclosed a method of fabricating GaInP/GaAs/Si triple junction solar cells by epitaxy lift-off and mechanical stack techniques. First, a GaInP(1.85 eV)/GaAs(1.42 eV) dual-junction cell is fabricated on a GaAs substrate, and a Si single junction is fabricated on a Si substrate. The Si single junction cell and the GaInP/GaAs dual-junction cell are joined together robustly by metal-metal bonding. A buffer layer, Gallium Phosphide (GaP) inserted between GaAs and Si can further optimize electrical, thermal and optical coupling. Furthermore, when a GaP layer is grown on a p-type Si substrate, a Si p-n junction as a fully functional solar cell is formed simultaneously, thereby reducing manufacturing cost. The technology can achieve GaInP/GaAs/Si triple junction solar cells of the conversion efficiency as high as 36% under a standard AM1.5 solar spectrum, with the optimal current 13.3 mA/cm2 and the sum of open-circuit voltages 3.1V.

    Abstract: Systems and processes utilize one or more methods of providing overhead waste process heat to increase the feed temperature of the hot solvent stripping regeneration loop in an acid gas removal process. A heated rich solvent stream can be the primary feed for the hot solvent stripping regeneration loop, and one or more slip streams can be heated and then combined with the heated rich solvent stream to form a combined rich solvent stream prior to further processing in downstream units to remove acid gas from the solvent. A first slip stream can be heated in a stripper gas heat exchanger by heat exchange with a stripped gas stream. A second slip stream can be heated in a regenerator exchanger by heat exchange with an acid gas stream.
