We, overall, enjoyed our time spent in our apartment. The location was nice, however, our apartment was right Read Moreon Hemingway. The road was right outside our window which made it noisy at times. We did grow accustomed to this. The office workers were always friendly, as well as the maintenance staff. They did, however, take awhile to come when called. One time they didn't even show for an appointment. Overall, we enjoyed our time here. We will always remember our first home together.

Hemingway Apartments are well-sized, and fairly priced, particularly for the New Haven area. Commute times are Read More very low with a little planning. If you are looking for the rare family-friendly CT apartment, you've found it. There are many children here, and they play outside together. If noise is a concern for you (i.e. if you work at home), it might not be for you. However, it's a very handsome place with excellent staff, so give it a chance!

The LDS Church has long been bedeviled by its polygamist (and by some accounts, violent) origins. In 1890, the "Principle" of plural marriage was offered up as the sacrificial lamb of an exhausted struggle for Utah to be granted statehood by a federal government that placed the Mormon practice alongside slavery as one of the "twin barbarisms" that threatened to engulf civilization. Church officials never looked back. But the policy reversal, which came in the form of "revelation"—as politically-charged procedural changes within the Church are wont to do—was not embraced by every follower of the faith. Splinter factions that continued to uphold the Principle were quickly established and have remained in existence until today, in Utah and elsewhere. These factions—along with independently polygamous families—are rejected by the Church and are not considered to be Mormon in any sense. But however ostracized polygamists might be, it is not difficult for them to justify their lifestyle: Support for the practice is right there in the Mormon scriptures (Doctrines and Covenants 132:19-20), and Joseph Smith himself, the religion's founding father, had six wives and 48 children. LDS and fundamentalists both participate in ceremonial "sealings" that bond families together for eternity: Among Mormons there is no such thing as "till death do us part."
While polygamists believe that they are acting on a sacred "testimony" by entering into plural marriage, it is easy for an outsider to see the practice as deeply misogynist, sexually gluttonous, or simply bizarre. Both dissenters—those who have a stake in how Mormonism and polygamy are portrayed in the entertainment media—and the genuinely disinterested have accused HBO of using a bygone religious tradition as an excuse to showcase unseemly bedroom drama that might come with the territory of plural marriage. Though it is shadowed by the critical and popular success of The Sopranos—its stylistic progenitor—Big Love closely follows the formula of a string of premium cable hits that have earned HBO and Showtime (its earnest, imitative competitor) street cred among couch potatoes and eager cinematicos alike. The success of The Sopranos and Oz wrought The Wire, Dexter, Weeds, Hung, and even Curb Your Enthusiasm: Critical favorites that explore deviants and criminals from the inside out, and offer a deliciously indulgent elixir to the law and order favored by primetime network television.
Technically, Big Love's Hendrickson family are outlaws, and they are certainly societal outcasts; but they are cast from a peculiar society that itself exists in the margins of mainstream popular culture (although it's gaining ground). The Sopranos were fighting against The Man; the Hendricksons are fighting against the Quorum of the Twelve. Both the heroes and the villains are something of an alien entity to the majority of Big Love's viewership, but certainly not to the show's writers and producers, who know what they're talking about. And that's what LDS probably doesn't want you to know.
For the first two and a half seasons of Big Love, HBO and LDS pretty much stayed out of each other's way. When the show premiered in 2006, LDS headquarters released a statement expressing concern that the setting a show about polygamists in Salt Lake City "is enough to blur the line between the modern Church and the program's subject matter and to reinforce old and long-outdated stereotypes." In the same statement, LDS acknowledged that HBO promised to make it clear that Latter-Day Saints do not practice polygamy. In keeping with this assurance, Big Love makes a clear distinction between active, tithed members of LDS and practitioners of the Principle—whether they are the compound-dwelling polygamists of Juniper Creek or plural families like the Hendricksons, practicing in secret.
Barb Hendrickson, Bill's first wife, struggles desperately to reconcile her "testimony" with her former life as a shining star of LDS; her mother and sister bear a heartbreaking and wrathful burden, respectively, of having their celestial sealing to Barb broken by her decision to enter into plural marriage. The word "Mormon" is uttered almost as infrequently as the word "mafia" was spoken on The Sopranos, and images of the Salt Lake City Temple all but disappeared after the first few episodes, where it loomed in the background of some key establishing shots.
But accurate reflections of the Mormon faith are recognizable in every episode. The opening sequence is a visual homage to the uniquely Mormon conception of the afterlife that is a core belief of traditional LDS and fundamentalists alike: The Celestial Kingdom is a physical location where sealed family members will find each other and remain together for eternity once earthly life has ended. Bill Hendrickson and his three wives ice skate together, hand in hand, to the musical accompaniment of the Beach Boys' "God Only Knows," exchanging loving glances. This is life on earth. The presumably thin ice cracks beneath them, breaking their grasp momentarily—death. The sequence ends with the four of them wading through a sea of white gauze, searching and quickly finding one another behind the veil. Their faith has been affirmed in the afterlife.
Some of the scenarios confronting the relatively upright Hendrickson family might be a touch over-the-top. But more often than not, they can effectively be traced back to a scriptural or historical precedent—although the writers often boldly exercise creative license. The season three episode titled "Outer Darkness," which aired on March 15, 2009, is one such case, and prompted LDS officials to speak up again after a nearly three-year silence. In it, Barb, on the brink of excommunication, begs her mother and sister to lend her a "temple recommend" (the LDS equivalent of a membership card) so that she might "receive her endowments" in a sacred, Fellini-eqsue temple ceremony. I don't presume to understand precisely what an actual endowment ceremony entails or represents, but I'm confident that such a blessing would not be available to inactive members of the church, and certainly not to suspected polygamists. As Barb's mother reminds her, as she is begging for help to get inside the temple, "It was just a few years ago that we stopped promising to disembowel and slit the throats of people who were monkeying around (with church procedures)."
One way or another—it's never made explicit how—Barb is granted entry, and the endowment ceremony is portrayed with supposed accuracy, save some minor factual errors. But it is the realism of the portrayal that prompted a vocal response from the Mormon community, which takes very seriously a commitment to keep sacred practices and rituals secret from the outside world. LDS headquarters released a statement titled "The Publicity Dilemma" that chastised HBO for its portrayal of the ceremony but maintained that the perpetually expanding church was unthreatened by "extreme misrepresentations in the media that appeal only to a narrow audience."
Less attention was given to Barb's disciplinary hearing portrayed in the same episode, despite the fact that it could be considered far more damaging to the LDS' public image. To the uninitiated, the language of the endowment ceremony is barely discernible; but the discussion that takes place in the hearing —or "love court"—is an explicit indictment of the church's habit of rewriting history to serve political ends. Faced with the decision to repent for the sin of polygamy or face excommunication—no small matter in the Mormon faith—Barb chooses to stand by her testimony. "I believe the Church and its leaders are in grave error on polygamy," she says. "And on the kinds of marriages and families it creates. I can't forsake my family." The stake president is unmoved: "We all know that there is a temptation to tell everything. Whether it is worthy, or faith-promoting, or not. Some things that are true are not very useful." While visibly shattered at the prospect of losing her eternal salvation, Barb is indignant: "You openly disparage my family but you hide the truth about our history." At this, Barb is cast into outer darkness.
In all variations of Mormonism—from backwards fundamentalist sects to modern LDS—marriage is mandatory for entry into the Celestial Kingdom. Lonely hearts and homosexuals are out of luck. But fundamentalists (a term LDS roundly rejects) feel that they are furthering the sanctity of this faithful obligation by multiplying their prospects for procreation: The size of your family is seen as a measure of devotion to your faith, as Mormons believe it is their duty to rescue souls trapped in "preexistence" by providing them with mortal birth. In this respect, second wife Nikki's egregious violation of the Principle—she's been secretly taking birth control pills for four years—represents the ultimate betrayal of her family and her faith. Between this and Barb's excommunication, it is no surprise that teasers for the new season suggest deep, dark trouble for the Hendricksons, who are seen floating, untethered, in a black abyss. The tag line: "Hold on."
Trouble may also lay ahead for relations between HBO and LDS. Spoilers have surfaced that Alby Grant, a Juniper Creek prophet hopeful, who has already displayed homosexual leanings, will take up with another closeted compound dweller. If there is any other issue that is as unsettling to Latter-Day Saints as polygamy, it's the gay question—a fact that is surely not lost on the show's co-creators, Mark V. Olsen and Will Scheffer, or Dustin Lance Black, the show's ex-Mormon consulting producer and vocal gay rights activist. Stay tuned, indeed.

Idaho wants gun and ammo makers. Gov. Butch Otter did his best to roll out the welcome mat in May when he announced the state was courting 79 gun and ammo makers to relocate part or all of their operations to Idaho. Commerce Director Jeff Sayer continued beating the drum Wednesday while speaking at an Idaho Firearms and Accessories Manufacturers Association forum in Boise. "One of Idaho's strengths is the Rocky Mountains are in our backyard," Sayer said. "There's no reason we can't make what Idaho is known for as one of our core business strengths. Meshing (the outdoors) with the firearm industry is a perfect fit"/Zach Kyle, Idaho Statesman. More here.
Question: Should Otter be pursuing gun manufacturers?

HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass.
-- Throughout April and May, Air Force Materiel Command will be promoting its "Be Active" physical activity initiative. This initiative involves the AFMC Wellness Support Center website,
, and the physical activity log. The goal is for participants to log minutes of physical activity for a minimum of 840 minutes, or 14 hours, during the months of April and May.
Individuals who complete this task will receive a completion award and the top five individuals at each base with the most physical activity minutes logged will receive an AFMC travel blanket
According to the Centers for Disease Control, regular physical activity can help control body weight, reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, improve brain function and mood and strengthen bones and muscles. Healthy employees have greater productivity levels, lower absenteeism, higher energy levels, improved job attitude and work performance and lower health care costs.
Participants must have an online account at
and Department of Defense civilians need to have a current Health Risk Assessment. Active duty members do not need to complete an HRA to participate.
To enroll in the "Be Active" Initiative, log on to the website during the enrollment period and then accomplish the following:
· Start logging activity in the activity log tracker located on the website home page under Personal Logs.
· To be eligible for the completion award, participants need to log 840 minutes between April 1 and May 31.
· The "Be Active" initiative is designed to be progressive with activity frequency. An example program is listed below:
· Weeks 1-3: Log 30 minutes at least 2 days a week
· Weeks 4-6: Log 30 minutes at least 3 days a week
· Weeks 7-8: Log 30 minutes at least 4 days a week
· Week 9: Log 30 minutes at least 5 days a week
To aid participants in logging their hours, Civilian Health Promotion Services will be offering these "get moving" activities:
Aging and Exercise:
- April 8 from 10 until 11 a.m. at the Education and Training Center, Building 1728, Room C.
- April 16 from 11 a.m. until noon at the Health and Wellness Center, Building 1540.
Get Walking! (class and group walk):
- April 15 from 11 a.m. until noon at the Health and Wellness Center, Building1540.
- April 23 from 11 a.m. until noon at the Brown Building, Building 1305, first floor conference room.
Benefits of Exercise:
- April 9 from 11 a.m. until noon at the Brown Building, Building 1305, first floor conference room.
- April 24 from 10 until 11 a.m. at the Education and Training Center, Building 1728, Room E.
Additionally, cardiac risk profile screenings will be held every Thursday and Friday from 8 until 10 a.m. at the CHPS office in the Health and Wellness Center, Building 1540. Appointments may also be scheduled Monday through Friday from 7:45 a.m. until 3:45 p.m.

Publisher's Description
She's got the rock, so when does happily ever after kick in?
At long last, Ashley Stockingdalepatent attorney, fasionista, and homeownercan finally add "fiancee" to her spirited resume. That means the next four months will be a dizzying and decadent waltz through aisles of Vera Wang, Kenneth Cole, Sheridan sheets, Kate Spade place settings, and Oneida flatware. Well . . . maybe not.
For starters, the HR department has hired Ashley's ex-boyfriend (yep, the one who ran off to India with that other woman) as the new director of software. And now her fiance is starting to sound crazysomething about moving across country, to Philadelphia of all places. Worst of all, right before her eyes, Scarlett I-need-some-Prozac O'Hara is hijacking her wedding plans!
Life for our heroine is spinning from out of control to downright confusing. But whether she makes it to the end of the aisle or not, she'll never be at a loss for drama!

I'm in a much better mood than I was when I last wrote.
I watched a YouTube video that was linked to someone's blog (wish I still had the link to share) that suggested that, for health, we all commit to limiting our sitting/lying down time to just 23.5 hours per day. Haha. It said that 30 minutes of exercise per day significantly helps improve all kinds of health problems. Beyond 30 minutes the impact gets much smaller. It also said that obese people who are fit and active are healthier than thin people who don't exercise. I am not obese, but I am overweight and I am fit and active.
Yesterday I did 5.43 miles in an hour on the treadmill. Just documenting so I can look back later at my progress. Maybe it's because of my weight, but my hips and knees have been bugging me a bit lately, with all this running. I really should aim to get at least back down to the low 150s. I am 165.2 today, and my weight has been around this for a while now.
I have a coworker who got married a couple months before me, and she is one year younger than me, and this morning her water broke and she's about to have her first baby. After hearing this news I actually went into the restroom and cried a little! My reaction surprised me. I must be starting PMS or something.
That's all for now, I think. Bye!
Progress reports are due Tuesday and I'm not even halfway done with them yet. And I don't bring work home, so I'm going to have a long day at work on Monday.
My weight is up, and my face is getting round and ugly. My skin is breaking out too. I'm too old for that!
I'm turning 34 in nine days.
More parents at school want services their kids don't need than I can deal with right now. Why didn't I pick a job where I didn't have to constantly justify why I do, or don't do, everything?
My house is so far from being done. My in-laws are here all the time. I hate never having privacy and never having time to relax, but I also feel guilty for resenting their help.
Body Pump during the week is too late at night for me, but I love Body Pump so much.
The clips for the ends of the bars at my gym are starting to get old and they can slip off - that's so dangerous - why aren't they replacing them!?
The guy who teaches my Saturday class keeps skipping a track here and there to finish class on time so the class after ours can start on time. BUT if he'd just stick to much shorter transitions between tracks he wouldn't have to skip tracks! Gah...
On a positive note, during lunges today he complimented me - he said I looked like I needed to be holding weights, guess the lunges looked too easy for me or something. :) Of course right after that we went into the fast dynamic lunges and I was losing my balance all over the place. Oh well. At least for a few seconds I looked pretty solid.
On another positive note, I love love love exercise and am realizing more than ever that I NEED it for stress relief. I didn't go yesterday - had a visit with my mom instead, who is dealing with chronic pain issues that I hope aren't in my own future. I think exercise withdrawal contributed a lot to this grumpy mood. Okay, that's not the positive part...the positive part is how much I love exercise and how my running is really coming along now that it's basically my only cardio. I just blogged the other day about walking between songs and going slow...I've already been able to pick up the pace since then and can only see myself getting slowly faster and faster. I was averaging about 5.1 miles in an hour less than a week ago and now I'm closer to 5.3. I know it would take weight loss to get much faster, but I'd like to eventually be comfortably running 10K (about 6.2 miles) in less than an hour when I work out. I've done it before, I can do it again.
Sorry for complaining. I just wanted to dump it all out so I could move on with my day.
I decided about a week ago or so that I'm no longer going to evening classes during the week. I get out of work at 3 P.M. and my gym is on my way home. I used to hang around at work killing time before classes because if I went home first that would mean an extra half hour in my car. Then I'd go to the gym and take evening classes (5:30 and/or 6:30) and get home just before 8 P.M. totally exhausted and still needing to take care of all my usual evening chores and dinner. I love classes, but I couldn't take it anymore!
So my new streingth training routine is actually the same as a routine I was following a couple years ago, before I had gotten back into Body Pump. Similar, at least. I have decided to do it Tuesdays and Thursdays. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays will be treadmill or other cardio, Saturday will be Body Pump (and possibly other cardio), and Sunday will be a day off to work on the house OR cardio. The strength training routine involves three sets of three different exercises for each of these muscle groups: back, legs, chest, shoulders, biceps, triceps, and abs. 8-12 reps each, or more if I don't "feel it" by the 12th rep. I then stretch and do a 10-minute fast-paced run on the treadmill, a couple minutes walking, and by the time I'm done with all that it's usually been about 90 minutes! It was interesting to get back into an old strength training routine after doing so much Body Pump, because I was able to see where I'd improved my strength and needed to use heavier weights than last I'd done this, and where I hadn't. There actually haven't been that many changes, I think, but the biggest change by far has been my lunge weight. No surprise - I've come a LONG way in lunges in Body Pump too (from barely being able to complete them to using what's often the heaviest bar in the class). I've also increased my squat weight in the weight room, but again that parallels Body Pump. I thought I'd go up with all my other weights too, but I haven't really. Maybe some - it's hard to do an exact comparison because I'm at a different gym now than I was last I used the weight room. In fact, I've gone through three new gyms since then!
I really don't like the elliptical trainers at my new gym, and the elliptical used to be my go-to cardio machine. It's too dark too early to run outside after work, so almost all my cardio these days is on the treadmill. I used to think the treadmill was so much harder than the elliptical and I couldn't keep at it for an hour like I could on the elliptical, and that I'd hurt afterwards, but then I realized that if I just take it easy I'm fine. So, for my 60-minute treadmill days, I've been going about 5.5 or 5.6 MPH for the length of one song on my ipod. When the song ends, I take a walking break (at about 3.6 MPH) long enough to drink some water, blot my sweat with a towel, and shuffle to a new song I want to listen to on my ipod, then I repeat the process. The treadmills at my gym have a max of 30 minutes, so after 30 minutes I get off, go pee, and come back and do the whole thing again! When I have 7 minutes left on the timer the second time I start a two-minute final sprint of around 7.0 MPH, then when there are five minutes to go I slow to a walk and if I'm on one of the treadmills that has a functional heart-rate monitor I use that to see how quickly my heart rate gets back to 120 (goal - 2 minutes or less). I then walk and stretch my upper body until the time runs out.
My eating routine lately hasn't been stellar, but it hasn't been awful. A lot of things are exactly the same as they are when I'm on track - smoothie for breakfast, one serving of almonds per day, and fruits/veggies for snacks. I also batch-cook and even calorie-count a recipe or two each weekend, and I eat servings of those for lunch each day, and sometimes dinner too. However, these days if I want to eat what my hubby's eating for dinner, I do that. If I want a mug of hot cider or a glass of beer or wine with dinner, I do that. If there's a treat in the teacher's room I let myself have some. Same goes for other snacks I may come across. I also keep telling myself I can eat whatever kind of junk my evil mind is thinking about, but only after I finish some chores and/or eat a healthy meal and/or have something to drink, etc., and often I either get too full or run out of time before I can eat the junk. So, I'm not losing any weight with all this, but I'm not gaining either.
It might seem like an odd time to try intuitive eating for me, considering I'm at the top of my weight range these days, but it's a busy time of year, and I know what my eating choice parameters should be in order to be successful, so why not just try to eat within them most of the time, not stress when I choose outside of those parameters once in a while, and get on with my day without feeling the burden of tracking? I've been basically doing this in an informal way since I last posted a blog, and my weight has dropped about three pounds in that time. It's been easy - no treats in the teachers' room so I HAD to stick with my apples and clementines for snacks, no time at home to eat too many snacks, and yesterday I was just so busy that I barely had time to think about eating! Last night we went out to dinner and a show with my husband's office. I had a grilled chicken salad at dinner and we were short on time to get to the show, so I literally didn't eat half the salad simply because I didn't have time to. I also didn't have time to eat very many chips and salsa (it was a Mexican place). But I was no martyr - I made time for 1.5 huge margaritas with salt! (The .5 is because of time again - my husband stuck a straw in my second margarita at the end and helped me finish it!)
The show we went to was The Donkey Show: http://www.artsboston.org/event/detail/45259
It was...a fun dancing experience, but the show itself didn't do much for me. But we almost NEVER go out anymore now that we are old adults with a house to work on, so it was fun to go out and drink and dance to a bunch of 70s songs. Most of my husband's coworkers are gay men so the dancing was good! After the show, when it was just free-for-all dancing, most of us got up on stage and twirled around with glowsticks on our heads, and we were the last ones out. And then even though this was CAMBRIDGE which is faaaaar from our side of Boston and we never go there and we had a long walk back to the car because parking in Harvard Square is impossible, I was still asleep after my big night out by 11 P.M. and up at 8 with more of a scratchy throat and a craving for green tea than a hangover! Yay! :)
So I've been back off track since Thanksgiving, and I've gained back the six or so pounds I'd lost. I just get this relaxed and happy feeling when I give myself permission to eat whatever I want without worrying about calories. I never let up on exercise. For some reason, my motivation there just isn't an issue. It's not that I always LOVE it and can't wait to do it - in fact yesterday it took me dragging myself out of the car once I'd pulled into the gym parking lot, and I was staring at the clock. But I keep exercising, day after day, year after year. With eating it's just not the same for me. To me counting calories is kind of like holding my breath - there's only so long I can do it before I have to stop. Even with all my experimentation with moderation I still end up feeling that way. However, not all is bad. I wish I had the photos to prove it, but I'm almost positive I'm a more fit/toned version of the mid 160s than I ever was before. I'm still fitting into the same pants that I was wearing 10+ pounds ago. They're tighter but they still fit. I'm overweight for sure, but just a little bit. I thought once I came back to school this week after five days off that I'd go back to counting calories, but who am I kidding - there's goodies all over the place this time of year. So. I know I'll want to track and get back to a healthy weight soon. I just haven't been feeling it for the past week or so.

Arizona Cardinals
Player agent Leigh Steinberg talks about negotiating with Arizona Cardinals
For the better part of their time in Arizona, the Cardinals have not exactly been known as a free-spending organization.
In fact, pretty much from the time they moved to the state in 1988 until at least the time when University of Phoenix Stadium was constructed the Bidwills -- who owned the team -- were generally considered to be a tad bit frugal.
A guest of the Dan Bickley Show with Vince Marotta on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Friday from Radio Row in New York, super agent Leigh Steinberg said that wasn't always the case.
"Two approaches," he said of how the Bidwills ran things. "When they were in St. Louis, they were notoriously frugal, and when they came to Arizona, they changed.
"They realized that the whole concept of being in a small market was different."
Steinberg talked about the "very successful negotiations" he had with the Cardinals involving quarterbacks Neil Lomax and Jake Plummer as examples of how money wasn't always a sticking point.
The 64-year-old who is credited as the real life inspiration for the movie "Jerry Maguire" went on to tell a story about how he learned not to call out owners in public like he did once when negotiating a contract for Cardinals second-round pick Theodis Brown in 1979.
That experience helped shape how he approaches owners nowadays.
"So when I had Leonard Davis or Jake (Plummer) or Neil Lomax, I stayed inside the system," Steinberg said. "They changed because their economics changed. They changed because of a new stadium. They changed because they're in one of the biggest thriving markets going."

This is a division, of application Ser. No. 770,869, filed Feb. 22, 1977, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,082,569.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method of fabricating photovoltaic solar cells equipped with surface collector grids. More particularly, the invention relates to a method of coating the surface of a silicon substrate with a metal collector grid in a manner which obscures only a minimum of the surface while at the same time providing good conduction of carriers to the external circuitry of the silicon solar cell.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In the past photovoltaic devices such as solar cells have been prepared by depositing collector grids on the surface of the photovoltaic substrate of the cell by vacuum evaporation or sputtering of a metal or conductive substance. The deposition step is frequently followed by a step in which the substrate is further plated with a conductor to further increase the current conducting capacity of the collector system. No matter how the collector system is fabricated, the function of the collector is to provide nearby available conductors for the carriers which are generated by the absorption of photons of light in the semiconductor substrate. In the past the impurity concentration or doping level of the wafer from which a photovoltaic silicon solar cell is fabricated, has been substantially limited to a level such as about 10 ohm-centimeter resistivity. If the level of doping is increased such that a lower resistivity material is formed, the conversion efficiency of the device is reduced because of recombination losses of electrons which are unable to reach the widely-spaced collector grid wires. One method of overcoming this problem has been to provide a grid collector system containing more numerous collectors which are more closely spaced. However, it would be more desirable to be able to employ solar cells which are more heavily doped such that they possess a resistivity on the order of 1.0 or 0.1 ohm-cm. A type of collector system which would be ideal is a grid-like surface collector which would obscure a minimum area of the surface of the substrate exposed to light while providing a low-resistance current path for the carriers. The lifetime characteristics of the carriers is an important property to consider in the preparation of a collector system so that the carriers will be able to reach the collector wires of the system and flow through the external circuitry of the photovoltaic system to perform work. One of the most significant deficiencies of the prior art collector systems is that many of the carriers are lost before they can be collected, even in the best of the current collector designs. Collector systems are generally designed with the main conductor or channels being of relatively large current conducting capacity with many more smaller current conductors attached to the main conductive channels.
Methods are known in the art for providing photovoltaic substrates with a transparent or at least translucent layer which functions as one of the electrodes necessary for the passage of the current generated by incident photons on the device. Thus, U.S. Pat. No. 3,811,953 shows a photovoltaic device coated with a conductive, transparent layer of Cd2 SnO4 which functions as a conductive electrode. U.S. Pat. No. 2,766,144 shows a photovoltaic device coated with a translucent coating of a Group III element such as indium or Group V elements such as antimony as a conductive electrode. U.S. Pat. No. 2,870,338 shows a transparent conductive layer on a photovoltaic substrate of a material such as tin oxide. However, these devices have the disadvantage that such transparent, conductive surfaces as Cd2 SnO4 and SnO2 lack highly conductive channels within or on the conductive layer which adversely affects the ability of the device to effectively transport the current generated by the incident photons to the external circuitry of the device. Moreover, photovoltaic substrates which are coated with a layer of a Group III or V element have the disadvantage that the current generating ability of the device is diminished because of the reduced transparency of the layer.
The present invention meets the need for an improved collector system for photovoltaic devices in that it has the advantages of the high conductivity of a metallic mesh, it is designed to obscure only a minimum area of the surface of the photovoltaic device exposed to light with opaque material while providing good conductivity for the carriers generated by light photons to the external circuitry of the device and it maintains the advantage provided by a transparent electrically conductive coating in contact with the total active diffused surface of the photovoltaic substrate.
Accordingly, one object of the present invention is to provide a method of fabricating a photovoltaic device which possesses an efficient collector system for the conduction of the current generated by incident photons to the external circuitry of the device.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a photovoltaic device which possesses a collector system having the advantage of the conductive properties of metal while at the same time allowing only a minimum area of the surface of the device to be obscured.
Briefly, these objects and other objects of the present invention as hereinafter will become more readily apparent can be attained by a method for establishing a transparent current collector on the surface of a solar cell by coating a photovoltaic substrate with a conductive mixed metal layer, attaching a heat sink having portions protruding from one of its surfaces which define a continuous pattern in combination with recessed regions among said protruding portions to said substrate such that said protruding portions of said heat sink are in contact with the conductive layer of said substrate; and heating said substrate while simultaneously oxidizing the portions of the conductive layer exposed to a gaseous oxidizing substance forced into said recessed regions of said heat sink, thereby creating a transparent metal oxide layer on said substrate containing a continuous pattern of highly conductive metal channels in said layer.
A more complete appreciation of the invention and many of the attendant advantages thereof will be readily obtained as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 shows a heat sink device used in combination with a photovoltaic substrate to form a transparent collector layer on the substrate containing highly conductive metal channels; and
FIG. 2 shows an example of a transparent collector layer containing a honeycomb pattern of conductive metal channels on a photovoltaic substrate.
The present invention is concerned with an improved collector system which can be applied to the surfaces of known photovoltaic devices. The collector system provides an electrically conductive, protective transparent coating for the underlying photovoltaic substrate and at the same time provides for a very effective metallic grid system which conducts the current generated by incident photons to the external circuitry of the device. In the devices prepared by the present process, the electrons released by the photovoltaic process need only traverse the relatively short distance between the site in the lattice wherein a photon is absorbed and the electron freed from an atom to the surface collector sheet. Once the electron has reached either the transparent mixed metal oxide layer or a metallic conductor, it is available to do work. Most recombination losses are avoided by this technique. The collector system utilizes oxidized metal combinations of indium-tin or indium-arsenic which have been used in the past along with various other materials as transparent, conductive coatings for windshields, hot plates and the like. A particularly prominent use of the transparent oxide coating has been for the heating of aircraft cockpit canopies and wind screens to prevent icing and fogging. The mixed metal oxide coatings have also been used as a protective, electrically conductive, transparent layer for thin films of cadmium sulfide.
The method of the present invention of fashioning a transparent electrically conductive coating for photovoltaic substrates having metallic conductive channels therein can be more clearly understood by reference to FIG. 1. A heat sink 1 or heat conductor is fashioned from a metal block of a metal such as copper, silver, gold, or platinum. The block 1 is provided with channels 3 for the flow of a coolant such as water through the heat sink, and is further characterized by raised portions 5 which protrude from the block 1 in such a fashion so as to define the pattern of the metallic grid system desired for the collector system coated on photovoltaic substrate 7. The heat sink is of a size sufficient to define a grid system pattern on a photovoltaic substrate. Solar cells differ in sizes according to use and shape. Typical sizes of rectangular shaped devices are 1 cm � 2 cm and 2 cm � 4 cm, while a typical square shaped device is 2 cm � 2 cm. Circular shaped devices typically are of 2 inch, 3 inch and 4 inch nominal sizes. Even large photovoltaic devices will be soon used for terrestial use. Moreover, collector patterns employed currently on commercial solar cells vary greatly. For example, a space quality 2 cm2 cell may have eight uniformly-spaced parallel wires joined to a heavier bar running at right angles to the parallel wires along an edge of the cell. The silicon cells commonly used in satellites placed in orbit by COMSAT (Communications Satellite Corp.) of the same size may have 60 fine wires to form the collector system described above. A 3 inch diameter terrestial wafer may have a dendritic or chevron configured collector. No matter what the size and shape of the individual cell, the surface area of the cell obscured by the collector grid system ranges from about 5% to 10% of the total photovoltaically active surface. In the present invention however, the obscured area is reduced to only about 3% to 5% while at the same time the collection efficiency of the cell is increased as a result of reduced recombination losses. Protruding portions 5 of the block 1 also define the pattern of recessed regions 9 of the block.
A photovoltaic substrate or solar cell such as a film of cadmium sulfide or a silicon substrate whose surface has been diffused with a counter dopant in a conventional manner is coated with a conductive layer of indium-tin, indium-antimony or indium-arsenic by any conventional technique such as vacuum evaporation or vacuum sputtering to a thickness such that the thickness of the mixed metal oxide conductive layer formed ranges from 500A to 10 μm. Thicker perimeter conductors may be added by known methods such as solder dipping, plating, and the like. A factor in determining the thickness of the layer 11 is that it must be thick enough so that the total collector grid system has sufficient conductivity. Other suitable photovoltaic substrates to which the collector grid system of the present invention can be applied include gallium arsenide and numerous other types of solar cells. Other suitable substrates include Schottky barrier and heterojunction devices. The p and n dopants used in the surface layers of these devices must be accounted for in the design and doping of the transparent conductive grid system. However, it has been established that properly formed transparent conductive layers are compatible with both conductivity types. Line 8 defines a surface diffused region or junction region if the photovoltaic substrate employed is an n/p or p/n photovoltaic diode or solar cell.
The block 1 is positioned and secured against the solar cell 7 such that the protruding portions 5 of the block 1 are in contact with the conductive layer 11 of the solar cell. The solar cell 7 is then subjected to heat on the bottom side 15 of the cell. The cell can be heated simply by placing the substrate in open air on a hot plate or heating block controlled by a thermocouple. Also, a flow of hot air from any suitable device can be used. However, the use of an electrically heated block probably provides better heat control. At the same time a gaseous oxidant such as moist air or oxygen is forcefully passed through or allowed into the recessed regions 9 of the block 1 which causes the oxidation of all portions of the conductive layer 11 exposed to the oxidizing atmosphere to a transparent, mixed metal oxide layer. The heat sink 1 is positioned on the mixed metal layer 11 of the solar cell substrate such that protruding portions 5 are in contact with the metal layer 11. In the design of heat sink 1, it is only necessary that recessed regions 9 be of sufficient relief or clearance above layer 11 to allow the free flow of oxidizing gas molecules in the regions as they strike and rebound from the surface and combine with the metal elements in the layer. The gas molecules will have rather large mean free paths which are dictated by the temperature of the substrate, the extent of access to more of an atmosphere and the ambient pressure of the gas used. The depth of the recessed regions 9 can be determined empirically. Furthermore, the relative closeness of the conductive metal channels 13 in the oxide layer 11 will determine the spacings between protruding portions 5. These factors are not likely to be critical over a great range. For example, for the honeycomb pattern shown in FIG. 2 and if a three inch diameter solar cell is assumed, a clearance of about 2 millimeters of the recessed regions 9 above the oxide layer 11 will be sufficient. If other types of collector grid patterns are used, the clearance will decrease or increase according to the desired grid geometry. Alternatively, in some cases such as the case of the honeycomb pattern shown in FIG. 2, it may be desirable to provide the heat sink 1 with small diameter holes such as about one millimeter centered in each of the hexagonal shaped recessed regions 9 of the heat sink 1 for the free movement of the gases of the oxidizing atmosphere. Moreover, if the recessed regions 9 are sufficiently deep in the heat sink, enough oxygen may be present in these regions such that it will not be necessary to pass additional oxidizing gas into the recessed regions 9 to complete the oxidation process. Alternatively, the oxidation of the layer 11 may very well be accelerated by forced circulation of an atmosphere through the heat sink. It is important that the heat sink be able to effectively conduct heat away from layer 11 wherever the layer is in contact with the heat sink so that the temperature in layer 11 under protruding portions 5 never reaches the oxidation temperature of the metal alloy. The areas 13 of the conductive layer 11 under the protruding portions 5 which are protected from the oxidizing atmosphere remain unoxidized and thus define a pattern of highly conductive metal channels through conductive layer 11. Heat is also conducted from areas 13 by the protruding portions 5 to the coolant flowing through the block. The temperature at which the oxide layer normally forms is dependent upon several variables which include alloy constitution of the metal films, the thickness of the metal film, and the like. Thus, for the alloy systems used for the formation of the transparent metal oxide layer, any ratio of one element to the other element can be used because an oxidation temperature within the range of 400� C. to 700� C. is sufficient to cause complete oxidation of the metal layer. Complete oxidation normally occurs in a brief time, for instance, on the order of 10 minutes. An empirical determination of the conditions necessary for the oxidation of the metal surface may simply be conducted by heating a coated substrate in air and measuring the parameters to achieve a transparent mixed metal oxide layer. For example, a silicon wafer 10-12 mils (300 μm) thick can be surface oxidized in about 10 minutes. The oxidizing atmosphere may be ambient air which is circulated by convection or is forced through the heat sink. Other oxidizing atmospheres can be obtained by enriching air with oxygen or by mixing oxygen with an inert gas in any amount sufficient to accomplish the desired oxidation. Also water vapor can be present in the oxidizing atmosphere up to the level of 60% humidity and even greater to increase the rate of oxidation. None of the conditions of the oxiding gas are critical and it is only important that the temperature of oxidation be sufficient to completely oxidize the desired portions of layer 11 in the collector sheet while the metallic nature of the embedded grid structure is maintained. The protruding portions 5 of the block 1 also prevent oxidation of the underlying areas 13 by acting as a heat sink thereby dissipating heat from regions 13. In an alternative method of accomplishing the oxidation of the conductive layer 11, hot moist air can be forced through the recessed regions 9 to oxidize the exposed portions of the conductive layer while the portions 5 of the heat sink conduct heat away from areas 13 and prevent contact of the layer 11 with hot moist air.
FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the photovoltaic device of the present invention wherein a solar cell 20 is coated with a transparent collector layer consisting of transparent mixed metal oxide windows 21 which in combination with highly conductive metallic channels 22 define a honeycomb shape of the metal channels within the collector layer.
Having now fully described the invention, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that many changes and modifications can be made thereto without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as set forth herein.
