Concentrators have been developed for space applications. One such example... uses a Cassegrain mirror concentrator. A solar cell is exposed to concentrated sunlight in the Cassegrain mirror concentrator in which the light is focused by a secondary mirror on the solar cell attached to the front of a primary mirror. The back of the primary mirror is made black, and thus serves as a radiator, dissipating the heat from the solar cell. 1, record 2, English, - Cassegrain%20mirror%20concentrator

In true haemoglobinuria the protein has originated from erythrocytes haemolysed within the vascular system. In false haemoglobinuria it comes from erythrocytes in the urine that have haemolysed there, leaving red cell envelopes in the urinary sediment. In both forms the urine is coloured dark red to almost black. 3, record 4, English, - hemoglobinuria
