International Classification:

C23C016/40

US Classification:

4272481, 42725537, 427355, 438692, 438697, 438788

Abstract:

A combination of deposition and polishing steps are used to permit improved uniformity of a film after the combination of steps. Both the deposition and polishing are performed with processes that vary across the substrate. The combination of the varying deposition and etching rates results in a film that is substantially planar after the film has been polished. In some instances, it may be easier to control the variation of one of the two processes than the other so that the more controllable process is tailored to accommodate nonuniformities introduced by the less controllable process.

International Classification:

G02B006/38
H01R013/627

US Classification:

385 55, 439352

Abstract:

An optical module having a latching mechanism to allow the module to be latched to a cage of a host system is disclosed. The latching mechanism includes a latch boss that can be engaged by a latch attached to the host cage to capture the module. The latching mechanism also includes a latch key that slides towards the latch boss to disengage the latch from the latch boss. The latch key is moved by a bail that rotates and exerts a force on the latch key by a cam surface.

International Classification:

G06K 7/10

US Classification:

700230, 702 19, 426392

Abstract:

Clamshells for packaging produce, or other unit packaging, are labeled with unique codes. Harvest crates for transporting filled clamshells from the harvest, or other containers for transporting unit packaging, are also labeled with unique codes. A plurality of labeled un-filled clamshells are nested together and placed into each harvest crate before the harvest, and the codes from the clamshells and the harvest crate are stored in association. In some instances, clamshells are de-nested, labeled with pre-printed labels, and nested again before being placed into the harvest crates. At the harvest the clamshells are removed from the harvest crate, de-nested, filled with produce, packed back into the harvest crate, and moved into the distribution chain. The unique codes are further associated with other information such as harvest data.

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

235375

Abstract:

Methods are provided for marking products with unique identification codes, associating times with at least some of the unique identification codes, and associating other times with certain events pertaining to the production of the marked products. These times can be used to subsequently determine whether a marked product belongs to a population that was produced before or after an event.

International Classification:

H01L 31/0224

US Classification:

438 98

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a process for making solar cells. Particularly, embodiments of the invention provide simultaneously co-firing (e.g., thermally processing) metal layers disposed both on a first and a second surface of a solar cell substrate to complete the metallization process in one step. By doing so, both the metal layers formed on the first and the second surfaces of the solar cell substrate are co-fired (e.g., simultaneously thermally processed), thereby eliminating manufacturing complexity, cycle time and cost to produce the solar cell device. Embodiments of the invention may also provide a method and solar cell structure that requires a reduced amount of a metallization paste on a rear surface of the substrate to form a rear surface contact structure and, thus, reduce the cost of the formed solar cell device.
