![]() ![]() Recent advances have been made since 2017 by Alta Devices, where their flexible solar cells exceed efficiencies of 30%, aerial densities of 170 g/ m, and are 30 μ m thick. Experiments with UAVs and solar cells have been around for over 20 years, and there is constant progress. For civilian use, they are used in flying cell phone towers and communications. UAVs can then serve for mapping, surveillance, border patrol, or search and rescue. They thus replace launching satellites into orbits, which are usually covered by considerable expenses. Structure and Composition of GaAs Solar CellsĮxperimental high-altitude long-endurance UAVs are aircraft that are covered mainly with flexible solar cells because of stay in the air for up to months. Since 1977, when the cost per watt was around 76 dollars, it is now approximately 36 cents. In contrast, the prices of silicon cells are very affordable today. state that compared to silicon, the prices of GaAs cells are up to ten times higher. The high price is influenced not only by the cost of the wafer but also by subsequent production-expensive equipment. Prices may vary depending on the complexity of the technology-the number of junctions. ![]() However, from a practical point of view, this type of solar cell is expensive for common use. They are also used in the aviation and military due to their flexibility and weight, which can be used especially for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and last but not least for concentrators, thanks to which solar cells can operate at very high temperatures. The main reason is their wide spectral coverage, which is much larger in space than on Earth. The most common field using GaAs-based solar cells is the aerospace industry. Germanium is often used as a substrate, which is suitable for its high mechanical strength and atomic lattice spacing very similar to GaAs. Single crystals of GaAs are very brittle. ![]() Due to the temperature gradient acting as mechanical stress, more crystalline defects are created: a standard diameter of 6″ wafers is used compared to 12″ for silicon. The production of wafers is generally more difficult and expensive. Therefore, GaAs solar cells have also become the standard for use in demanding temperature conditions. With higher temperatures, the thermal generation of carriers becomes more dominant over the intentionally doped level of carriers. ![]() The advantage of a wide bandgap is also the fact that the material remains more semiconductive at higher temperatures, such as in silicon, which has a bandgap of 1.12 eV. It is often extended by so-called alloying, i.e., precise melting of two elements together, in this case, with aluminum, to give Al xGa 1 − xAs. The direct bandgap of GaAs of 1.42 eV is also suitable for diode and photovoltaic (PV) cell applications. However, hole mobility, in contrast to much higher electron mobility, is similar to silicon-the response times are the same for devices that require cooperation between the motion of holes and electrons. In contrast to silicon, it has become very popular in high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) structures since it does not require any momentum change in the transition between the maximum of the valence band and the minimum of the conductivity band, and does not require a collaborative particle interaction. Gallium arsenide is a material widely used mainly in semiconductor technologies due to its attractive properties, where it has found many uses. ![]()

Shinedown’s distinct mix of explosive rock ‘n’ roll spirit, thought-provoking lyrics and melodic sensibility on ATTENTION ATTENTION (Atlantic Records) ushered in the band’s biggest and boldest chapter to date. Their hit songs, including four tracks from ATTENTION ATTENTION, have brought the band’s total to 17 #1s on the Mediabase Active Rock Chart and 16 #1s on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs Chart, breaking the record for the most #1s ever in the history of the Billboard chart. Gravitas Ventures vice president of acquisitions Tony Piantedosi negotiated the deal with Billy Offer and Nick Shumaker of United Talent Agency.Multi-platinum, record-breaking band Shinedown – Brent Smith , Zach Myers , Eric Bass , and Barry Kerch – have sold more than 10 million albums and 10 million singles worldwide, earned 14 platinum and gold singles, five platinum and gold albums, and amassed more than 4.5 billion total streams throughout their impressive career. It’s a testament to their continued innovation as artists, and we look forward to unveiling the film to audiences worldwide,” said Tony Piantedosi, vice president of acquisitions at Gravitas Ventures. “ SHINEDOWN found the ideal director in Bill Yukich to turn their acclaimed album into a dynamic cinematic experience. Years in the making, I am beyond pleased to be able to share this vision, which was inspired by this amazing band,” said director Bill Yukich. What begins as many stories, many voices, steadily becomes one message, one voice from many. “ ‘Attention Attention’ the film is where the songs of the album come together with people this music has had a profound impact on. We’re really proud of what we created and are beyond excited to partner with Gravitas Ventures to finally bring the film in its entirety to the world,” said SHINEDOWN. “When we created ‘Attention Attention’, our vision was always to present the message as a sonic and visual experience. As anxieties dissipate and demons disappear, what emerges is a powerful and enduring statement about humanity, overcoming struggles, the importance of mental health, not being afraid to fail and the resolve of the human spirit. A stunning sonic and visual work of art, the film weaves the 14 songs from the album into a provocative, visceral and thought-provoking journey that brings viewers along on a psychological, emotional and physical ride from life’s lowest lows to the highest highs. 1 on Billboard‘s Alternative, Top Rock, and Hard Rock Albums charts, debuted Top 5 on the Billboard 200, and has racked up more than 355 million global streams. SHINEDOWN invites viewers into the world of “Attention Attention” in their new film, bringing to life the story of the acclaimed chart-topping album, which simultaneously hit No. Directed by Bill Yukich and featuring band members Brent Smith (vocals), Zach Myers (guitar), Eric Bass (bass, production), and Barry Kerch (drums) along with actresses Francesca Eastwood and Melora Walters, Gravitas Ventures will release “Attention Attention” on digital and cable VOD on September 3, 2021.

As such, Redux strongly harms a film that already had some concerns because it inserts faults where none previously appeared and does nothing to improve the weak spots. A mix of short and long bits, the new material placed into Redux gave it a very different flow and created problems where none existed. Those were the parts of Now that made it a classic, and changes could easily have distorted the film’s impact.ĭid they? Yeah, to a large extent. While some extra footage was placed in the third act, the most significant additions came earlier, and that’s where the most trouble could occur. He could redub it in Mandarin or digitally insert Jar-Jar Binks for all I care my opinion of those segments was already low enough that I don’t think there’s any way he could make them worse. As far as I’m concerned, Coppola could do whatever he wanted to the Kurtz parts of the film. So how would Redux alter this equation? Significantly, as it happens. As I stated in my original review, Coppola fully captured the confusion - moral and actual - of the conflict, and the film illustrated the pointless and suicidal nature of the United States' involvement in Vietnam. ![]() I really can’t stand the final act, but until that point, Coppola weaved a freaky tale that really seemed to transmit the essence of the war. I think it’s definitely the strongest Vietnam flick around, at least for its first two-thirds. That brief synopsis doesn’t do Now justice, for at its best, it offers possibly the finest war movie ever made. As noted, the final act of the film finds Willard within Kurtz’ compounds, and it tracks those events. Colonel Kilgore (Robert Duvall), a bevy of Playboy bunnies, and a few other bizarre episodes.

It seems that Kurtz went a bit loopy while on a mission deep in the jungle he renounced his entire life and set up camp as a demigod amidst the natives. He receives an assignment to track and execute a seriously AWOL officer named Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando). At the start of the film, we meet Army Captain Willard (Martin Sheen), a guy who’s spent too much time in Vietnam and is on the verge of burnout. Redux simply added footage, and a substantial amount at that the new cut includes an additional 49 minutes of material. ![]() Actually, unlike Wise’s new cut of Trek, Coppola eliminated nothing from the original movie. As I noted in my review of the original DVD, I always though Now was excellent for its first two-thirds, but it largely went into the crapper during its Brando-dominated final act.ĭuring his reediting of Now, Coppola did nothing to shorten or tighten that part of the film. Unlike Trek, Now was already regarded as a classic, though a flawed one. Not so for the second altered film from 1979, Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now. Director Robert Wise cleaned up some special effects, trimmed a little here, and added a snippet there, but the differences remained pretty modest. ![]() However, the changes made to Star Trek: The Motion Picture were fairly minor. The new “Director’s Edition” did little to alter the slow pacing and general tedium of the original cut, and it remains by far my least favorite Star Trek flick.

While my feelings towards the gameplay were already lukewarm, the biggest issue I had was the fact that when you enter a new area, all your Mii companions get kidnapped and you start back at level 1. ![]() If you’ve played Tomodachi Life then you’ll have an idea of the antics these Miis will get up to and it never failed to make me smile. As the relationship grows, you’ll sometimes be treated to entertaining skits inside the room, which gives this system a bit of life and personality too. Levels are increased when certain skills are activated but mostly through having 2 characters sleep in the same room at the Inn. These range from simple team attacks to warning them about incoming danger, allowing them to get out of harm’s way. As the relationship level increases, they gain access to new team skills. The relationship system on the other other hand does have a bit more going for it.Īs the game progresses, characters develop relationships with each other. It’s an interesting concept, but there’s no strategy to it and with you being unable to control other characters as well, it all just feels way too automatic. For instance, a kind personality will protect other team members while an air-headed one will forget which enemy they were targeting and attack at random, but with increased strength. Personality traits on the other hand, such as kind, airheaded and cool, each have their own quirks associated to it which activate randomly during encounters. Jobs not only affect your stats but also which abilities you learn as well. Each character can be assigned a job such as a Knight, Mage or Scientist. When it comes to the rest of the party, their behaviour is governed by a few things, namely their job, personality trait and the relationship they have with other characters. It’s all very RPG-lite, and it suits the game’s overall tone and design but like the story, I still kind of wish there was just a little bit more.Ĭombat is your usual turn-based affair, but this time around you can only issue commands to the main character. You can have your characters eat food you found along the way to increase their stats too.

When it comes to exploration, you select nodes on a map to enter either a town or a dungeon. Sure, it resembles other games in the genre but it takes a very hands-off approach to most of its mechanics. I understand that the story was meant to be lightweight, but I just felt that with a setup of an evil face-stealing baddie, Miitopia could’ve done a few more interesting things.Ĭalling this game a RPG is a bit of a stretch. Your main party will often interact with each other in wacky and hilarious ways and I really enjoyed them, but after a while it does wear thin, and it’s singular quirky tone did little to keep me engaged. The premise of making characters resemble people you know and setting out on adventures with them is quite entertaining at first. The story itself is simple much like the rest of the game the fun comes in with the fact that you can customise characters using the Mii creator system, so you could make the Dark Lord look like a grumpy old man (like I did) or you can make it so that it resembles one of your friends. Your Mii is tasked with stopping the Dark Lord from stealing people’s faces and plunging the world into darkness. As terrifying as the premise sounds, this is actually a light-hearted RPG featuring custom created Miis, which are avatars for Nintendo systems. If I told you the story revolves around an evil being stealing the faces off of people and putting them on to monsters, you’d think I was describing a horror game, but I’m not.
