The invention is notably directed to a photovoltaic thermal hybrid solar receiver (20), comprising: a photovoltaic module (21) and a thermal collector (22). The latter extends in a first plane (220); it comprises an aperture (68). The photovoltaic module (21) is designed for electrical output power (Po) delivery; it comprises a photo-active area (212) that extends in a second plane (210) at a distance (232) from the first plane (220). The photo-active area is located vis-à-vis the aperture, i.e., a projection of the aperture perpendicularly to the second plane corresponds to the photo-active area.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a collision cooling device which is in contact with a microprocessor. SOLUTION: This invention includes a cooling device comprising parallel return paths and having a lot of collision injection ports closely arranged with spaces adjacent to a collision gap 42. This invention also includes a method for, by using branching hierarchy manifolds alternatively engaged, supplying a cooling agent flow to the collision injection ports with less pressure drop as much as possible. Further, a surface extension structure extending to the collision gap 42 forms a U-shaped micro channel between a single collision injection port and a single exit. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

The invention is notably directed to methods of operating photovoltaic thermal hybrid systems (10). A such system (10) comprises: a hybrid solar receiver (20), having a photovoltaic module (21), operatively coupled to the system to deliver an electrical output power (P0) for a power user; and a thermal collector (22) distinct from the photovoltaic module. The photovoltaic module and/or the thermal collector are movably mounted in the system. The system further comprises a collector thermal storage (42) thermally connected to the thermal collector to store heat collected at the thermal collector; and positioning means (30) adapted to move the photovoltaic module and/or the thermal collector. The method comprises instructing (S30) the positioning means to move the photovoltaic module and/or the thermal collector to change a ratio of an intensity of radiation received (S10) at the photovoltaic module to an intensity of radiation received (S10) at the thermal collector.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for multi-color printing in a single step without the necessity to register a position. SOLUTION: This printing method performs a printing work by applying the process to selectively fill microcontainers of an elastic stamp with color inks to a single printing master. In addition, the method comprises the steps of sequentially filling stamp hollows with a color ink (1040) selected for printing through a plurality of rollers of different colors (941) covered with a lid layer (1010) having an opening part at a position which is aligned to an appropriate stamp hollow, and bringing a stamp face into contact with the surfaces of printing media (96 and 1060), tightly fitted to a surface shape under an outer force and the elastic force of a stamp layer and simultaneously sealing the periphery of openings of the stamp hollows and limiting the transfer of a color ink to the printing media (96 and 1060) to the medium part coming into contact with the hollow openings.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a patterning mask enabling formation of a pattern with increased precision. SOLUTION: Regarding the patterning mask 6 having a substantially planar patterned printing layer 2, the printing layer 2 has a substantially non-elastic stencil layer 3 and a substantially elastic seal layer 4 fixed on the stencil layer 3. The seal layer 4 performs a function of a seal in regard to a liquid, viscous or gaseous material 7 that can be filled on a base 5 through the patterned printing layer 2 when the layer 4 is in contact with the base 5. Moreover, the mask may have a mesh layer. The mesh layer has openings isolated by a solid element and having a two-dimensional regular pattern and rigidity can be given to the mesh plane thereof.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a silicone elastomer stamp with a hydrophilic surface. SOLUTION: The method for fabricating silicone elastomer stamps with hydrophilic surfaces is provided. The concept of polymer grafting is used to produce the stamps. The stamps thus produced have the great advantage that grafting of a thin hydrophilic polymer on a hydrophobic PDMS surface can render PDMS stamps permanently hydrophilic. With such stamps, it becomes possible to print aqueous or highly polar inks reproducibly over days and weeks.
