Abstract
Trough-Lens-Cone PV, or TLC, is a CPV module architecture that uses three-stage optics to enable high concentration at low cost. A trough mirror concentrates ∼40X on one axis onto a long, narrow module. The module cover has linear lenses on front that reconcentrate ∼10X on a second axis, producing a series of narrow ∼400X focal lines. The final optical stage is an array of CPC (compound-parabolic-curve) cones that raise the concentration to ∼1500X. A receiver has an array of microcells in parallel to handle the trough’s uneven concentration, and each cone funnels light to a microcell. Suitable parabolic troughs are already low cost, the lenses are designed to be roll-formed at very low cost, and the arrays of microcells can be assembled at low cost. However, forming the arrays of tiny cones is a potential obstacle. This paper describes criteria that the cones should meet, the challenges of producing suitable cones, the proposed cone-molding process, and first results from proof-of-concept prototyping of the proposed process.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
