摘要： Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to techniques for reducing stress asymmetry in sputtered polycrystalline films. In certain example embodiments, sputtering apparatuses that include one or more substantially vertical, non-conductive shield(s) are provided, with such shield(s) helping to reduce the oblique component of sputter material flux, thereby promoting the growth of more symmetrical crystallites. In certain example embodiments, the difference between the travel direction tensile stress and the cross-coater tensile stress of the sputtered film preferably is less than about 15%, more preferably less than about 10%, and still more preferably less than about 5%.

摘要： Certain example embodiments relate to a sunlight-scattering thin-film coating disposed on a substrate for greenhouse applications. The surface morphology of the coating promotes a better and more uniform light distribution. For instance, at least one thin-film layer disposed on a substrate may be textured so as to create surface features on the order of 0.1-5 microns, with the surface features being sized to cause (a) light having a wavelength of greater than or equal to about 800 nm incident thereon to primarily scatter to angles less than 30 degrees relative to a major surface of the substrate and (b) light having a wavelength of less than or equal to about 700 nm incident thereon to primarily scatter to angles greater than 20 degrees relative to the major surface of the substrate. This arrangement may advantageously direct beneficial light towards plant life while directing parasitic light away from the plant life.

摘要： A crank arm for a pedal-driven vehicle is described herein. The crank arm includes a first member that pivots about a crank axis of the pedal-driven vehicle and a second member rotationally coupled to the first member and configured to receive a pedal. The crank arm further includes a spring assembly configured to bias the second member towards a neutral rotation configuration relative to the first member and to resist rotation of the second member away from the neutral rotation configuration, wherein a distance between the crank axis and the pedal interface is greater than a distance between the crank axis and the member pivot point when the second member is in the neutral rotation configuration.

摘要： Certain examples relate to improved solar photovoltaic systems, and/or methods of making the same. Certain improved building-integrated photovoltaic systems may include concentrated photovoltaic skylights having a cylindrical lens array. The skylight may include an insulated glass unit, which may improve the solar heat gain coefficient. The photovoltaic skylight and lens arrays may be used in combination with strip solar cells and lateral displacement tracking systems. Such techniques may advantageously help to reduce cost per watt related, in part, to the potentially reduced amount of semiconductor material to be used for such example embodiments. A photovoltaic skylight may permit diffuse daylight to pass through into an interior of a building so as to provide lighting inside the building, while the strip solar cells absorb the direct sunlight and convert it to electricity.

摘要： A high aperture active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) includes pixel electrodes in respective pixels which overlap adjacent address lines. The color filters are formed on the active substrate in a manner such that the filters also overlap the address lines and function as an insulating layer between the pixel electrodes and address lines in the areas of overlap. Accordingly, line-pixel capacitances are reduced and the resulting AMLCD is easier to manufacture. The total number of process step in manufacturing is reduced, and plate-to-plate (active to passive plate) alignment is much easier and less important.

摘要： Certain example embodiments relate to electronic devices (e.g., LCD or other display devices) having reduced susceptibility to Newton Rings, and/or methods of making the same. In certain example embodiments, the electronic device includes at least first and second glass substrates. An Anti-Newton Ring (ANR)/antireflective (AR) coating is provided on the second and/or third surface of the electronic device (e.g., on an inner surface of the cover glass and/or on an outer surface of the color filter substrate of an LCD device) so as to help reduce the formation of Newton Rings caused by the air pockets that surround one or more points of unintentional glass deformation. This may be made possible in certain example embodiments because the ANR coating is optically matched to reduce reflections of light between the first and second substrates.

摘要： A plasma display panel (PDP) includes a frameless EMI filter supported by a glass substrate for blocking/shielding substantial amounts of electromagnetic waves, with the filter being supported by a side of the substrate opposite a viewer. In certain example embodiments, the PDP filter includes a transparent conductive coating (TCC) for electromagnetic interference (EMI) and near infrared (NIR) blocking without the need for a conductive, peripheral buss bar. Additionally, in certain example embodiments, the need for a conductive frame is reduced or eliminated. The filter has high visible transmission, and is capable of blocking/shielding electromagnetic waves.
