Answer to Question 1

The single axis and double axis solar panel tracking system uses a ballscrew or other mechanism that has the ability to move the face of the panel and a specific number of degrees to cause it to track the sun. A motor provides the rotary motion for the ballscrew. Sensors may be included to make the system automated, or it can be moved manually from a table of data indicating the precise location for each day.

Answer to Question 2

Bypassed diode minimizes the power dropt caused when a solar panel does not receive maximum sunshine, such as if one panel is covered by cloud cover, and other panels in that array receive more sunlight. If a bypass diode is not used, the voltage drop in one panel may cause the output of all the panels to drop it

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
