A host of companies, including HelioVolt, Nanosolar and others, are
using CIGS technology in an attempt to cut the cost of producing photovoltaic cells.
With this technique, the Empa team has again been able to significantly increase the energy conversion efficiency from sunlight into electricity
using CIGS thin film solar cells on flexible plastic foils — to a new record level of 20.4 %, representing a marked improvement over the previous record of 18.7 % established by the same team in May 2011.
«We believe that thin film was a great solution for the rooftop, and our ability to hermetically seal it in glass was a good way to ensure that you could
use a CIGS material and not run into degradation with exposure to air or water,» says Solyndra spokesman David Miller.

cigs store I do believe steady and gentle exercise with the power plate are a great combination and people were being led to believe by some articles that 10 minutes a day
using the power plate was all you needed to lose weight.Maybe it could if you
used it constantly which is not recommended, but i do believe you need the two to achieve all round good health as the power plate does not exercise your heart and we all need to exercise out heart even if it is just walking.
These semiconductors can be
used as an optical absorber material in solar cells, but so far have only achieved a maximum efficiency of 12.6 per cent, while solar cells made of copper - indium - gallium - selenide (
CIGS) already attain efficiencies of over 20 percent.
Until recently, the Empa
CIGS cells were the most efficient in the world; at the end of October, though, a German research team at the Zentrum für Sonnenenergie - und Wasserstoff - Forschung (ZSW) in Stuttgart presented
CIGS cells with an efficiency of 20.8 %, although they
use far higher processing temperatures and (rigid) glass as the substrate.

The bombshell of December 2017 was the news that Crytek was suing Cloud Imperium Games and Roberts Space Industries, the companies behind the sprawling and controversial crowdfunded MMO Star Citizen, alleging that
CIG infringed its copyrights by
using CryEngine to develop non-Star Citizen game assets in the form of Squadron 42 while misusing Crytek's logo in marketing materials and Crytek's CryEngine in the form of Star Engine.
In its initial filing, Crytek demanded a huge pile of direct damages, lost profits, and punitive damages, as well as a permanent injunction against

Crytek has demanded «all direct damages (estimated to be in excess of $ 75,000), indirect damages, consequential damages (including lost profits), special damages, costs, fees, and expenses incurred by reason of Defendants» breach of contract and copyright infringement» as well as a cut of the profit, punitive damages, and a permanent injunction against
CIG's
use of CryEngine.
In documents filed with the California Central District Court yesterday, Crytek alleges that
CIG infringed its copyrights by
using CryEngine to develop non-Star Citizen game assets — specifically, Squadron 42.
Crytek's complaint also states that CryEngine was
used for another game — the upcoming standalone Squadron 42 — while
CIG also failed to collaborate and in doing so shared Crytek's code with other parties in dirtect violation of confidentiallity agreements.

In addition, the reform enacted by the Government in 2015 also restricted the
use of
CIG (Wage Guarantee Fund) which was largely requested for by the Unions during the bargaining processes within reorganisations: this restriction has indeed entailed a change in industrial relations as the Unions are no longer able to ask the employer to
