Transphorm plans to sell transistors separately, but it also plans to sell a more complete power conversion module that will contain both diodes and transistors.
FORBES: Google-backed Transphorm Raises $25M For Power Conversion Tech
After an explosion in Apollo 13's service module cut off propulsion and power, the lunar excursion module (LEM) was used as a lifeboat to provide life support to the three astronauts, and the engine of its descent stage for course changes, until the command module could re-enter the atmosphere after a long coast around the moon.
Other edges they'll have to sharpen: Like its corporate cousin the Cruze, the Verano uses a column-mounted electric power-steering assist module that imposes a numbing frostbite on steering feel.

Alpha will consist of a complex of connected spacecraft: a Sundancer and a BA330 for customer use, a second Sundancer that will house Bigelow crew to maintain the station and a module that provides a power bus and docking node.
Wall Street was also pleased with the Solarfun Power Holdings outlook, which includes total module shipments in the second quarter to range between 160 megawatts and 170 megawatts, and between 600 megwatts and 650 megawatts for the full year.
Solar panels typically account for only about the third of the cost of a single-axis power plant, thanks to a plunge in photovoltaic module prices in recent years.
For RRM, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center designed a module simulating a satellite, as well as custom power tools for Dextre.

The increasing focus by countries on renewable sources of power in the last few years has made the solar industry highly competitive with companies differentiating themselves largely on module manufacturing costs and module efficiency.
FORBES: Suntech Unseats First Solar For Tops In PV Module Production
The solar industry relies on Government subsidies to compete with conventional sources of power such as coal and natural gas fired plants and decline in support can significantly impact the business of module manufacturers such as First Solar so we will keep an eye on these areas as well.
