Appl. No.:

11/919836

Inventors:

Michael W. Haney - Oak Hill VA, US
Michael J. McFadden - San Antonio TX, US

International Classification:

H01L 31/00

US Classification:

136259

Abstract:

The present invention is an apparatus and method for the realization of a photovoltaic solar cell that is able to achieve greater than 50% efficiency and can be manufactured at low cost on a large scale. The apparatus of the present invention is an integrated optical and solar cell design that allows a much broader choice of materials, enabling high efficiency, the removal of many existing cost drivers, and the inclusion of multiple other innovations.

Filed:

Apr 21, 1998

Appl. No.:

9/063543

Inventors:

Michael John McFadden - Baltimore MD
John Culp McFadden - Lutherville MD

International Classification:

B26D 326

US Classification:

248674

Abstract:

An improved extended mounting bracket for a french fry press. The mounting bracket generally comprises a back plate with two opposing protruding side brackets. The side brackets are integrally attached along the opposing edges of the back plate by welding or the like. Both side brackets are formed with upper and lower notches adapted to slidably receive and anchor a conventional french fry press. The extended mounting bracket extends the french fry press over a proper waste receptacle such as a sink and thereby facilitates efficient waste disposal and cleanup. The bracket is rugged, durable, and it can be manufactured at nominal cost.

International Classification:

B08B 304

US Classification:

134200

Abstract:

An improved cleaning basin (including cover and stand) for commercial grill, oven and stove ventilation filters. The device allows convenient soaking and cleaning of the filters in cleaning solution, and provides for safe and efficient drainage of the solution. The device is specially sized to facilitate simultaneous cleaning and soaking of multiple filters in caustic cleaning solution, and it provides for safe and efficient filling and drainage of the solution from the basin. The device is rugged, durable, weather-proof, and it can be manufactured at nominal cost.
