Photovoltaic module mounting system

ActiveUS8156697B2Improvement factorExcessive motionPhotovoltaic supportsSolar heating energyElectrical batteryComputer module

A solar array mounting system having unique installation, load distribution, and grounding features, and which is adaptable for mounting solar panels having no external frame. The solar array mounting system includes flexible, pedestal-style feet and structural links connected in a grid formation on the mounting surface. The photovoltaic modules are secured in place via the use of attachment clamps that grip the edge of the typically glass substrate. The panel mounting clamps are then held in place by tilt brackets and / or mid-link brackets that provide fixation for the clamps and align the solar panels at a tilt to the horizontal mounting surface. The tilt brackets are held in place atop the flexible feet and connected link members thus creating a complete mounting structure.

Methods and devices for fixing a defect in a vertebral disc of a patient. One method includes providing first, second, third, and fourth sutures. The first and second sutures are fastened to a vertebra cranial to the vertebral disc at first and second locations, respectively. The third and fourth sutures are fastened to a vertebra caudal to the vertebral disc at third and fourth locations, respectively. A device, such as a mesh device, is positioned adjacent the defect. The first, second, third, and fourth sutures are then positioned against the device, on the side of the device opposite of the defect. Tension is then applied to the first, second, third, and fourth sutures. Each of the first, second, third, and fourth sutures are then attached to at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth sutures, thereby holding the device adjacent the defect.

A plurality of inflatable members (136, 140, 142, 156′) are mounted at a plurality of strategic locations relative to a vehicle occupant. The occupant is restrained by a harness including a lap belt segment (124), a chest belt segment (126) and a diagonal belt segment (128). Upon the vehicle being impacted, a central processor automatically inflates the inflatable members (136, 140, 142, 156′). The processor is connected to valve assemblies that regulate air flow both into and out of the inflatable members (136, 140, 142, 156′), and is further responsive to a pressure sensor assembly, so as to actively regulate pressure within the inflatable members.

ActiveUS20170318727A1Excessive motionSpadesPlantingCircular discEngineering

A double-shoot disc-opener row unit for use with agricultural implements includes two discs that form two separate trenches in a planting surface of a field. The mechanical connection between the two discs provides an adjustable longitudinal separation between the discs to prevent an overlap between the discs from a point view perpendicular to the direction of travel of the row unit. The longitudinal separation may reduce the interference of the flow of soil from one disc from interfering with the formations of trenches by the other disc. An adjustable lateral separation between the discs may also provide for a separation between the trenches produced by the different discs.

An AM-FM representation is used to derive AM and FM based equations that can be applied to two consecutive frames in parallel to derive motion estimates. The multidimensional AM-FM representations provide general representations of non-stationary content in digital images. The AM-FM estimate captures single images and features of a video that can lead to different applications in image and video analysis, for example, computer-aided diagnosis in medical applications or monitoring micro-movements of rocky material in the pit slopes.
