International Classification:

H01L 31048

US Classification:

438 66, 136251, 136256, 257433, 257434, 257443, 438 64, 438 67, 438 80, 427 74

Abstract:

A clear thermal emissive coating, such as clear polyimide, is deposited directly upon a thin film solar cell forming a flexible thin film solar cell. The thin film solar cell can be deposited on another thermal emissive coating used as a substrate during thin film solar cell semiconductor processing so that resulting flexible thin film solar cell can be illuminated on the top side and eject heat from both sides suitable for forming a solar cell array over a curved surface such as a power sphere nanosatellite with thermal regulation.

International Classification:

G06F 1700

US Classification:

128921, 600595

Abstract:

A diet and activity-monitoring device includes a timer which outputs a time-indicative signal. A body activity monitor monitors the body activity of a subject and outputs a signal indicative of the body activity. A consumption notation control is provided which the subject may operate to indicate when they consume food. An activity calculator receives the body activity signal and determines a body activity level for the subject. A consumption calculator communicates with the consumption notation control and receives the time-indicative signal. The consumption calculator determines and stores the times when the consumption location control is operated.

Appl. No.:

10/420480

Inventors:

Edward J. Simburger - Agoura CA, US
David G. Gilmore - West Hollywood CA, US

Assignee:

The Aerospace Corporation - El Segundo CA

International Classification:

H01L 31/052

US Classification:

136259, 136293, 438 59

Abstract:

A thin film solar cell thermal radiator configuration uses an embedded power bus to collect vertically migrating waste heat from electronic devices mounted on a thin film multilayer printed circuit board. The waste heat is vertically collected, horizontally spread, and vertically rejected through the a top coverglass glass layer around the side of a top silver contact of conventional thin film solar cells. The thermal radiator configuration enables the collection and rejection of the electronic component waste heat for maintaining thin film solar cells within desired temperature ranges.

Inventors:

James Mault - Evergreen CO, US

International Classification:

G08B023/00
A61B005/02

US Classification:

340/573100, 600/503000

Abstract:

A personal activity monitor adapted to be supported on the body of the user, preferably on the wrist, includes a motion sensor such as an accelerometer to generate electrical signals as a function of body motion. The monitor also includes an electronic clock and a memory for recording signals representative of the motion of the housing and their time of occurrence. User entry keys on the monitor allow the entry of signals representative of the time of food consumption and the beginning and end of exercise activity. Other activity and condition sensors may be supported on the monitor such as pulse rate detector, camera for recording images of food consumed, barcode reader and the like. The output of the memory is useful in weight control and fitness logging systems.

International Classification:

A61B005/05

US Classification:

600/407000

Abstract:

A diet and activity-monitoring device includes a housing configured to be mounted on the subject and a display integral with the housing for displaying information to the subject. The device also includes a body activity monitor operatively disposed within the housing for monitoring the body activity of the subject, a consumption notation control operable by the subject to indicate food consumption, and a timer operable to output a time indicative signal. The device further includes a processor operable to receive and process the body activity signal, time indicative signal and the food consumption signal, for use in determining a food consumption indicator or a body activity indicator, that is stored in a memory portion of the processor for recall by the subject on the display screen.

H01L 3104
B64G 100
B65D 5100

US Classification:

136244

Abstract:

A power sphere preferably used as part of a nanosatellite is formed using a plurality of flat panels solar arrays interconnected together by rotating hinges to approximate a spherical shape for use as an enclosure of a payload. The solar array panels are supported by an extending internal strut. The spherical shape provides attitude insensitive solar energy collection and heat radiation.
