The present inventions describes a new concept of a more robust, durable, and cost-effective linear receiver for Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) applications, which is of interest for both, power generation as well as for solar heat for industrial processes. A specific design has been found for a moderate/low temperature range (<300ºC), which takes advantage of an open cavity to reduce convective thermal losses along with an optical system which reinforces stratification and enhances the intercept factor.

A Spanish company founded in 2007 has large experience in the formulation, elaboration and commercialisation of high quality pâtés and spreads creams of different flavors in different formats like single-dose pods, cans and glass jars. They prepare their products from excellent raw materials such as meat, fish, vegetables, milk and sweet products. In particular, the main flavors range are meat and fish pâtés, vegan products (spreads, hummus, tomatoes, traditional recipes from Spain, etc.) and sweets (honey, nougat, cocoa, tomato jam, etc.).

The computation of the sine and cosine functions is required in devices ranging from application specific signal processors to general purpose floating point units. Even in the latter case, the required functionality can be reduced to computing the sine and/or cosine of multiples of a constant angle. The latency of a sine/cosine generator can be reduced by using look-up tables. However, a direct implementation with look-up tables may be unfeasible if the input space is huge.

The Spanish company, based in Gran Canaria, count with a strong team with more than 20 years of experience in Visible Light Communications (VLC) technology. They have integrated several of the best researchers in LED and Photonics technology over the years improving and developing applications of VLC technology.
