Apple and LG accused of infringing Alcatel-Lucent patents in U.S. trialA California court trial involving patent infringement allegations against co-defendants Apple and LG Electronics began on Tuesday, with Alcatel-Lucent's Multimedia Patent Trust asserting the two electronics makers violated video compression technology used in a number of devices.
The jury trial, being heard by the U.S. District Court for the Southern Distrcit of California, is directly related to a 2010 complaint filed by the Paris-based technology company's Multimedia Patent Trust in which both Apple and LG were accused of copying efficient data transmission tech pertaining to videos, reports Bloomberg.
Apple and LG have chosen not to license these patents while 33 other companies have paid over $190 million for these licenses, said one of the patent trust's attorneys, Frederick Lorig. Counsel went on to explain that he failed to successfully negotiate a deal with Apple despite having already set licensing terms with Motorola worth some $18 million. "Apple sells four times the number of infringing products that Motorola does, he said.
According to the suit, Apple's iPhone, iPad, iPod and MacBook lines, as well as LG's Chocolate Touch VX8575, Bliss UX700, Touch AX8575, Lotus Elite LX610, Mystique UN610 and Samba LG8575, infringe on the trust's patents.
The motion pictures you see on your screens are made possible by these patents, Lorig said. This technology lets you download in half the time and store twice as much content.
Representatives for Apple and LG countered during their opening statements, saying that MPT had already been paid for the technology in the for of an "pay-as-you-go" pool of funds. The attorneys said the trust is attempting to extend its patent claims to cover new technology.
LG and Apple are not going to pay rent for technology they do not use, said Apple attorney Juanita Brooks. Why are we here in this trial? They are trying to get $170 million from Apple. I can think of 170 million reasons they are asking us to pay more than all of the other licensees combined.
LG's counsel, Michael McKeon, added, "What we have here is MPT trying to double dip. It is suing over technology it does not own.
Apple is accused of infringing upon three Alcatel-Lucent patents compared to LG's two, with MPT asking for a "reasonable royalty" based on fees it would have been paid prior to the alleged infringement.
MPT is looking for undisclosed damages with the possibility of trebling, or tripling, the judgment amount if Apple and LG are found to have infringed willfully, as well as court fees.
The trial is scheduled to continue tomorrow at 9 a.m. and is expected to conclude within the next two weeks.

Cognitive Dissonance, Jumping the Shark, In Search of "the Nephew," Farm Burger, and the Possible Return of Zippy
Posted Sep 23 2012 8:05am
So I got tipped off to the Atlanta Home Show at an expansive convention space and the fact that I could get in free if I showed up before 9 AM and said the code word "reliable." I got no-takers on the "join me" offer for teen reporters (remember their
raves about the potato toilet
?), so off I trotted, only to discover I was suddenly the youngest audience member of the Walter Reeves Live Radio Show, where on-the-air breaks got peppered with trivia questions to which everyone but me seemed to know the answers because they actually lived the moments. I realized then that even though I am technically the tail end of the Baby Boomers,
I am far less "Where were you when John F. Kennedy got shot?" and far more "Where were you when John
got shot?" I am far less Kent State and far more
Courtship of Eddie's Father
(and please note I am younger than Jody Foster, who guest starred on the show as "Joey down the hall," pictured above, so references to Vietnam and bra-burning just don't hit home for me).
I am far less drugs, sex, and rock and roll and far more disco roller skating
(this detail mortifies my kids when I talk about it, which is sort of often--gosh, my friend Kathy Lynott and I had ridiculous amounts of fun at Laces in New Hyde Park, NY--thanks, Kathy).
Anyway, the yellow police tape went down and we were sprung from the radio show (Walter Reeves did a very nice job, by the way, but what was up with the Scott's Miracle Gro guest, and I'm not talking about all his heavy chemical gardening recommendations but the offhand mention that he actually lives in Serenbe, arguably one of the most eco communities in the U.S.! Am still feeling cognitive dissonance from this). I took a quick glance around the room and didn't see any overtly "green" products or services at first (although it's a nice surprise to finally be seeing more recycling containers but there's still
no place to compost a banana peel
I got to thinking that, perhaps, green has "jumped the shark"
(which is a commonly-used term to mean that it has passed the point of "desperate attempt to hang on," and which comes from a pathetic late-season episode of
Happy Days
--and there are those of us who remember exactly where we were when Fonzie jumped the shark).
But no. There were still the requisite solar companies and green foam insulation folks. A green basement remodeler. A lighting company repping LED outdoor lights ("they've finally gotten better--less blue!" the sales guy told me). A non-profit operation that repurposes excess building materials (sort of like the Habitat for Humanity Restore). And a few flooring companies with eco-offerings. I was also happy to see a few "aging in place" choices (my prediction--those walk-in-tubs are going to be a boom product in the coming years--and get a load of that other tub in the collage below--it looks like a recliner! What's not to love?) And, if you want to know the truth, eco-benefits such as saving energy/saving money just seem to be a bit more par for the course now, so that's good. (I wrote a green-leaning home-focused blog for Cox Enterprise's Kudzu named
Hot Off the Vine with Pattie Baker
for a year--here is a link to
my post with my favorites
). (I also write
Design for Boomers
, which gives voice to those on the cusp of two generations at a time of enormous innovation potential in the marketplace as Boomers change life stages and eco-options become mainstream.)
My favorite booth of the day comes with a couple of caveats. It was for a company named Cornerstone, Inc. and it featured what appeared to be reclaimed wood from a wide variety of old barns and more. I say "appeared to be" because there was absolutely no explanatory signage, website address, or anything besides the company name (which doesn't come up as a direct hit when you search for it), and no one was there the first three times I made special trips back to try to find someone with whom to talk. Finally, a man from the next booth ( a basic flooring company) popped over and told me it was his nephew's line of business and that it was prohibitively expensive and really only applicable to commercial projects like restaurants, not really for a little kitchen remodel. Um, okay, now that you've made assumptions about me (which are wrong--I am not remodeling a kitchen; I am giving free shout-outs to impressive businesses on this blog, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and elsewhere, and uncovering story ideas to pitch to national media outlets) and never once asked a question as to why I might be interested, well, off I went and called it a day at the show. I decided to give the nephew the benefit of the doubt (who knows why he wasn't there) because, my goodness, that booth was extraordinary. Seriously touchable products expertly displayed. Love it. Don't love the marketing of it. (Shout-out to the nephew--need help?
Let's talk
So on the way home, thoughts of restaurants with reclaimed wood on my mind, I stopped by the new location of Farm Burger, my fave restaurant (and I'm a vegetarian, so this is saying a lot considering the whole premise of the restaurant is to feature grass-fed beef--but they also feature local veggies and amazing quinoa burgers). Remember
? Remember the
pig video
? Remember the
Urban Farm
? Remember how
I encouraged my city
to pursue companies like this when we lost
the first expansion of Farm Burger to another part of metro-Atlanta? Every time I go to Farm Burger Decatur, where the original restaurant is located, I think how nice it would be to be walking distance from that place. And now, a new location is opening, shockingly, in
city. I still can't believe it. I slipped passed the "closed" sign, met one of Jason's partners, Sean, and the new chef, Todd, snapped these pix and counted my lucky stars.
Farm Burger Dunwoody opens next Thursday. Miracles do happen.
And as I padded across my old, linoleum kitchen floor this morning (maybe one day I actually
put reclaimed wood flooring in there), I remembered again those beginning unicycle days as I first tried to balance leaning against the kitchen island, and the fact that
Danielle (my new unicycling friend)
wants to unicycle together (although I haven't ridden mine since the blue foamy resurfacing of the high school track and the "no wheels allowed" sign went up), and I realized, you know what? If there is a Farm Burger in Dunwoody, anything is possible. Maybe I
dust off ole' Zippy again! (I can already hear the "Oh, no!" of my family members--if they are not careful, I may pull out the disco skates again!)
Danielle, by the way, went on a business trip to NYC recently and discovered the colleague with whom she was meeting unicycles also--so off they went to the East River.
You just never know where the journey is going to take you, do you?

I have an ajax script executed using jquery when an input text field is changed using keyup. This part works fine. However, I also want to trigger this same keyup event when the form autoloads with some text in this input text field.
I'm auto-loading the form text field by using php to populate the form from the url (get request).
My HTML code:
<input id="code" name="code" type="text" />
My JS:
$(document).ready(function () {
// doesn't work
// i want to execute the code in the function specified within $('#code').keyup(function () {} below. nothing happens here.
if ($('#code').val() != '') {
// works fine
$('#code').keyup(function () {

Not sure if I'm doing this right. Would appreciate if anyone could help me out on this. Thanks! :)

Mother Dies After Seeing Her 3 Daughters Get married Passed away Monday morning
Mother dies After seeing her 3 daughters get married SNELLVILLE, Ga. -Three sisters from Snellville shared a very special memory with their mother when they got married in an emotional triple wedding ceremony on Sunday afternoon. Becky Swales wanted to live to see her daughters walk down the aisle. That wish came true, but she lost her battle to breast cancer early Monday morning.
Jodie, Sarah and Kaylie Swales said their vows to their fiances with their mom sitting in the front row. The sisters, who were all engaged, planned their triple wedding after learning she only had a few months to live. They were originally scheduled to wed on October 26.
But last week, doctors delivered the heartbreaking news that Becky's battle might be over in just a couple of weeks, so the girls decided to change their plans. They moved their ceremony up to Sunday afternoon-- ensuring that their mom would be there to see it.
"It's kind of bittersweet," Jodie Swales told FOX 5's Krista Littlefield before Sunday's ceremony. "We are happy that she's here, but this will probably be the last big thing that we do with her."
"It's awesome having her here, but it's hard having her suffer while she's here," said daughter Kaylie.
The girls' dad, Otis Swales, walked all three brides down the aisle. He says he relies on his faith.
"It's hard, but I'm proud of my daughters," he said. "I just pray God gives me strength to get through every day."

I feel like the recent influx of KLK spoilers being posted in comments sections, not to mention several spoiler-ish comments on other things (i.e. MLP, SNK, etc) has been kept rather tamed by the NSFW button. However, I feel it necessary to implement a spoiler warning button. Clicking on an NSFW button can either mean actual NSFW material, or spoilers.
I, browsing KYM at school, have found I don't like taking risks of reading NSFW comments for the risk of there being butts and stuff on them, when they may just have funny spoiler quips. This really should be added for the ease of fellow KLK users and other spoiler afflicted shows to read comments that are NSFW and comments that are spoilers, not sepperated by eachother.
tl;dr: Spoiler buttons should be made.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. – This weekend, teams and drivers and fans will bid farewell to the original racing surface at Kansas Speedway. For many – especially drivers – the farewell will be tearful.

FORT WORTH, Texas – Overshadowed in recent seasons by teammates Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth at Roush Fenway Racing, Greg Biffle says his perch atop the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series point standings is the product of persistence and perspiration.

Wilhelmsen Ships Service (WSS) has opened a new liferaft service station in Suez, Egypt, which will service vessels transiting the Suez Canal and Egypt's main ports.
Russell Dinwoodie; General Manager WSS Egypt said: "With over 17,000 vessel transits per year in the Suez Canal, this new Liferaft Service Station is an important addition to our global network. Its' strategic location will benefit ship operators by allowing them to utilze our full range of liferaft services whilst waiting to transit the Canal; avoiding costly deviations, uncertainty over service and supply levels and ultimately, making passage more efficient'.
Known as the 'Highway to India' the Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean Sea at Port Said and the Red Sea at Suez, making it a hugely important navigation waterway. Suez has four main ports: Adabeya; Sukhna; Elzayeteya and Port Tewfik.
In addition to liferaft servicing, the new service station will enable customers to carry out liferaft exchanges at the ports of Alexandria, Port Said, Damietta, Safaga and Nuwaiba.

What do you get when you cross Greek mythology with a media literacy class on paid political advertising? Well, if you're media literacy teacher Marianne Malmstrom, you get 30-sec. video ads about kicking various lesser gods off Olympus that end with "I am Zeus, and I approve of this message" (see "The Dog Ate My Homework" project at the Elisabeth Morrow School in Englewood, N.J.). This is media literacy education 2.0. It can take many forms, but this approach teaches critical thinking about media messages by having students create their own messages collaboratively, using social media – in this case, the Second Life virtual world. Malmstrom's students created avatars, wrote scripts, and "filmed" and edited machinima (like video screenshots, or "movies" of what's happening in a virtual world). Check out the first ad on that page (it's only 30-some seconds). Also don't miss this 5:46 video, "No Future Left Behind," created by multiple stars at Suffern Middle in Suffern, N.Y., with the help of tech and media teacher Peggy Sheehy. It's a keynote presentation for the Net Generation Education Project involving 10 schools. The students were asked about how education was preparing them for the future, and their collective answer is an appeal to us adults to allow them to learn in school the way they already are on the Internet, as social media practitioners and producers and as fluent "information hunter-gatherers," as MIT media professor Henry Jenkins put it. "Education really needs an upgrade," the first line of the students' video goes.
Young practitioners of social media literacy!

The death toll in the capsizing of a overcrowded ferry in southwestern Bangladesh rose to 75 with rescuers fishing out 17 more bodies from the river Tetulia.
As salvage operations continued for the fourth day today, rescue workers retrieved 13 more bodies from the river, where three—deck ferry MV Como capsized on Friday night, Nazrul Islam, chairman of the local district board told PTI.
He said four more bodies were found on Sunday night in the river.
The ferry carrying more than 1500 people was bound for Nazirpur area in southwestern Bhola district from the capital Dhaka when it capsized just off the shore with its rear portion sinking into the river water.
"The toll is climbing up as rescue workers are finding more and more bloated bodies inside the cabins which were submerged in the river," Mr. Islam said.
Salvage ships were trying to toe the sunken ferry close to the shore to make search operations more easier.
Authorities have sent one more salvage ship to speed up the efforts to raise the ferry.
Though officials are tightlipped about how many more bodies are still trapped inside the ferry, sources put the number at between 40—50.

Teen Mom Meltdown: Amber Portwood 911 Call Releasedby Free Britney at . Comments
"You are going to prison for being abusive." - Amber Portwood to Gary Shirley
Some say the star of MTV's Teen Mom may be in danger because of her erratic behavior. A just-released 911 call from August certainly makes that case.
Anderson, Ind., police arrived after Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley argued themselves into an all-out melee. To say it got ugly is putting it mildly.
A familiar sight in the Portwood-Shirley household.
"My ex just threw all of my stuff everywhere and cussed me out and ran up on me like ... I can't breathe right now," a hysterical Amber told the cops.
Cops are investigating the mother-of-one after MTV aired an episode in which Amber repeatedly punched and slapped Gary in an expletive-filled rant.
Listen to the full Amber Portwood 911 call after the jump ...
Before it would take 2 ckcils & I'd be on the current lesson. Now it takes a few more.Like or Dislike: 0 0
This is stupid. She doesn't even sound upset in the video. When I was reading this, I thought she was crying and being hysterical and shit, but no, shes being her same abusive manipulative self. Clearly this is for attention and it's not funny. There's women out there being beaten every day by an abusive spouse that need REAL help and she has the gall to act like her situation is so bad, when it's self inflicted and the bitch could could make her childs life so much better. I wonder what Leah's gonna think when shes older and see this.. I know for sure shes going to be ashamed.
I have to agree i think females are unstable sometimes well some of them im a female i dont do that type of shit but some do .... I see it like this if me and my man get into it and if i hit him and he hits me back then hey its my fault i shouldnt have put myself in those shoes if i couldnt fill them...it couldnt have been me though if i was gary i would have knocked her bitch ass out but he is smart and unlike amber cares about leah and thought before he acted i think amber is going to need meds to deal with her problems cause she has many that are apperently just now hitting the surface...why now no one knows but she needs to get her shit together if she truly cares about her daughter but i personally doubt she will or even wants to she needs to just let gary raise leah and do that dumb shit by herself and gary u better not get back with that controlling woman (had to be nice for leahs sake lol)
lmao misty the airplane is landing
These two make Mike Tyson and Holyfield look tame.
thats toooo funny Mistyeyez! im lmao
Just another typical mentally/physically abusive bitch acting like a bad ass then calls the cops and says her boyfriend was physically abusing her... Women are so evil anymore!!! No wonder the gay population is rising!!! I love women, but damn they are shady!!!
Personally, I think it is all a big misunderstanding. You can see from the pic that CLEARLY Gary thinks Amber's fist is a cheeseburger.... and he's ready for the airplane.....YUMMY!!!

When I read this new book, I Wanna Go Home, I had a flash back to a familiar song called Camp Grenada. If you are not familiar with the song it is about a young boy who is sent to summer camp and sends home humorous messages about his miserable life at camp. "I Wanna Go Home" is very similar since Boy Scout Alex and two of his siblings are sent to his grandparents retirement community for two weeks while his parents are on vacation. Reluctantly he goes and when he contacts his parents about his adventures you just have to smile. He is amazed to discover his grandfather doesn't have real teeth and when he takes them out they look like jellyfish. He didn't know that grandma and grandpa still had to go to school; square dancing school. They don't even have a TV set, what will he do. Through all his escapades not only does he learn to enjoy his grandparents but he wants to stay an extra week.
This was a fun book to read all by myself! I think any parent or grandparent would enjoy sharing this with their children or grandchildren especially ages 5 – 9.

In a major breakthrough in the murder of Balipur village pradhan Nanhe Yadav, the CBI arrested two brothers - Ajay Pal and Vijay Pal - on Sunday.
Along with his father Kamta Pal, who is yet to be arrested, Ajay is one of the main accused in the case. A contractor Rakesh Pal has also been taken into custody. The brothers confessed to their crime during interrogation. The CBI has recovered the weapon, along with five cartridges, used in Nanhe's murder. In his FIR, Nanhe's brother Phool Chand had named Kamta and Ajay along with two others, Ajit and Rajiv, for the murder due to old enmity over land dispute.
For the recovery of weapon, the CBI team took Ajay and Vijay to village Katra to raid the house of contractor Ram Kumar Pal, a close associate of Kamta Pal, from where Rakesh was nabbed. Sources said Rakesh led the team to the house of one Prema Devi from where the weapon was recovered.
With these arrests, the CBI now hopes to unravel the conspiracy behind the murder of circle officer, Kunda Zia-ul-Haque and Nanhe's brother Suresh Yadav.
Except former minister Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiyya, the CBI has already interrogated other accused in Haque's murder. Raja Bhaiyya is also likely to be summoned soon for interrogation.
Parveen Azad, the wife of the slain CO, had named Gulshan Azad, Hariom Shrivastav, Rohit Singh, Guddu Singh and Raja Bhaiyya in connection with the murder of her husband.
Six persons were injured in a clash involving members of two communities in Kanpur's busy Babupurwa area late on Saturday night. No arrests were made, though an FIR was registered against 14 people.

Gold-leaf writing inscribed across the towering red portico at the entrance to The Shannon Rose Irish Pub announces what one might expect to find inside: "Premium Stouts," "Irish Whiskies," and other culinary staples of the Emerald Isles. Behind this imposing entryway lies a series of dining rooms that have a markedly different effect; chandeliers create a sense of intimacy as they illuminate Gaelic artwork and aged hardcovers resting on lofty bookshelves.
At TapHouse Grille, 24 different craft beers gush from taps as plates of gourmet pub fare emerge from the kitchen. Chefs shower pastas and pizzas in fresh meats and vegetables or whip up entrees that feature freshly caught fish and quality cuts of meat. In addition to imported and domestic brews, the family-friendly establishment pleases adults with martinis and cocktails, and it treats tots to a full kids' menu and an absence of height-restrictive carnival rides.
Brick walls and ceilings and glistening wood floors surround the casual dining room, where flat-screen televisions beam down from the walls. TapHouse Grille also hosts special events throughout the week, including a Sunday brunch buffet with a live jazz band.
Bahama Breeze is known for, delicious seafood, distinctive chicken dishes and flame-grilled steaks, accompanied by refreshing, handcrafted tropical drinks.
If you were to trace the origin of one of Jamba Juice?s freshly squeezed juices, it wouldn?t take long before you ended up face to face with its most important supplier: Mother Nature. Whole fruits and vegetables from her gardens, groves, and orchards fill Jamba Juice's stores: kale, apples, pineapple, carrots, beets, and other produce. Although it?s serious about filling cups with wholesome, natural ingredients, the company is a little more playful when it comes to the palate.
Sure, there are classic juices on the juice menu. Purely Carrot, for instance, which is as elemental and straightforward as it sounds. But there?s also the Tropical Greens, which combines apple juice and pineapple with super greens and chia seeds. And there?s Kale Orange Power, loaded with kale, bananas, and orange juice?all of which are packed with a serious helping of vitamins and manganese. Regardless of which flavor you choose, each 12-ounce juice packs in at least 1.5 servings of fruits and veggies, making it a convenient way to restore energy and get nutrition on the go. The same commitment to simplifying healthy eating can be found throughout the Jamba Juice menu, from its Fruit and Veggie smoothies to its Artisan Flatbreads.
In addition to providing healthy options to customers, Jamba Juice sponsors Team Up for a Healthy America. The initiative is focused on improving childhood nutrition and fitness by encouraging fans to join the Team Up community of celebrities, athletes and other leaders committed to helping the nation stay fit?which you can do by visiting the main Jamba Juice website.
With over 500 stores serving the full freshly squeezed juice menu, Jamba Juice is the perfect way to blend in the good.

A round, supple entry leads to a fruity medium-full body of chocolate covered caramel corn, rich baking spice, pink peppercorns, and nutty bread dough flavors. Finishes with a sweet and spicy honeyed rye, toffee, pepper, and mineral fade."

1792 Ridgemont Reserve
"The first couple of sniffings detect attractive, dry scents of leather and black pepper; aeration encourages sweeter, woodier aromas to emerge. The palate entry is sap- and pine-like and moderately sweet; at midpalate a flash of cocoa appears, then recedes for additions of sweet oak, vanilla, palm oil and sap. Finishes lean, moderately sweet, grainy/corny and very appealing. Best Buy." 85-89 pts.

As coarse as Wild Turkey is, it mellows with age nicely. My favorite bourbon straight up or open it up with a little ice. Nice scents of oak, lightly flowery and fruity.

Compare Prices on Crown Princess Western Caribbean Cruises
Great Cruise!!!!!
We just got back from a week long cruise to the Western Caribbean with our 9 year old daughter. We had no idea what to expect and were very pleasantly surprised. The ship was beautiful!!
We were in a mini-suite on the Dolphin deck and it was spotless!!! Plenty of room for the 3 of us. The balcony was awesome!!! Spent lots of time sitting there enjoying the view while sipping cocktails.
The ship layout was great. Very easy to get around. Plenty of elevators and staircases to get you where you want to go.
We used the 2 main pools all week- The Calypso and The Neptune. One had movies playing most of the day on a huge flat screen TV. The other pool had live entertainment in the afternoons.
The wait staff at the pools were wonderful!!!
We did anytime dining and it worked out great. DaVinci and Michaelangelo dining rooms were nice. Service was fantastic!!
One word of advice... on days at Sea be prepared to go out early to get chairs More right around the pool. Less

January 3, 2008
(WVLT) -- The search continues for a new Tennessee offensive coordinator, and according to one report, the Vols met Thursday with San Francisco 49er quarterbacks coach Frank Cignetti--that according to volquest.com.
This season was Cignetti's first season in San Francisco. During the 2006 season, he was North Carolina's offensive coordinator. Before joining the Tar Heels for one season, he was Fresno State's OC from 2002-2005. During his time with the Bulldogs, he helped the offense average 52.8 points over the final six games in 2004 and become just the sixth team in NCAA history to score 50 or more points in four consecutive contests.
In both 2004 and 2005, Fresno State's offense finished among the nation's top ten in scoring and third down conversions.
With David Cutcliffe now the head coach at Duke, Phillip Fulmer has said that he hopes to have a staff in place by the weekend of January 11th--which is a big recruiting weekend for the Vols.

Silver is a key raw material in PV manufacturing. But as Chris Berry writes, a deficit in global silver supply and the prospect of future price increases are both sources of concern for the solar industry.
Ahead of a free webinar from IHS Technology and PV Tech on 29 July 2014, IHS analyst Sam Wilkinson discusses some of key trends shaping the global inverter market.
Driven mainly by expectations of strong end-market demand growth this year, polysilicon spot prices increased significantly in Q1'14, up 15% Q/Q and 28% Y/Y. In Q2'14, spot prices are expected to remain relatively flat – or to decline moderately – as more polysilicon makers ramp-up production, in an effort to take advantage of the current price environment.
The UK is set to become the largest market for solar PV in Europe during 2014, confirming its status as the hottest market across the region.
During the past couple of weeks, two of the leading custodians of thin-film solar PV technology have restated or amended long-term industry plans. Finlay Colville assesses the future for thin-film PV technology
The uptick in solar end-market demand at the end of 2013 has been followed by new wave of PV cell and module capex. The missing part of the equation is spending on new wafer capacity, writes Finlay Colville.
Consolidation has been one of the most heavily used words in the PV industry over the past couple of years. But as Finlay Colville writes, whether it has actually happened or not is open to debate.
Following the latest round of downstream channel checks and project pipeline activity in the UK, NPD Solarbuzz is now further upgrading its forecast for the UK PV market in 2014.
The compromised solution agreed between Brussels and Beijing for the supply of Chinese solar PV components to Europe is approaching its anniversary. Finlay Colville looks at how the deal has panned out.
The recent announcement by US manufacturer REC Silicon that it would establish a new polysilicon plant has highlighted an upcoming trend in the polysilicon industry: the rise of fluidised bed reactor (FBR) technology. Will it live up to expectation, asks Johannes Bernreuter.

This Chinese hospital has come up with a new take on the idea of the wheelie bin by fitting cleaners hired to empty bins with rollerskates to speed up the rubbish collection.
Park Fang who is manager at the Huaxi Hospital in Chengdu, in Sichuan province in south-west China said that they had been forced to cut the number of cleaners because of cost and also because the hospital was so large the staff that remained had been too slow to empty rubbish bins.
So they hired new cleaners with the one qualification being that they could rollerskate to a high standard and say that since then they haven't looked back. The new roller skater cleaners get paid 15% more than the old cleaners.
He said: "There were always too many cleaners here anyway marching backwards and forwards with rubbish and this way everything is done much faster with less staff. It's also fun to give people something to look at and nobody has to wait very long at all now for a bin to be emptied."
Lian Chen, one of the cleaners, said: "It is definitely the coolest job I have ever had. I get paid to roller skate eight hours a day and I love roller skating. The hospital is a great place to practice with lots of interesting things happening all the time."

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.
