Title: Screen mounting apparatus
Inventor: FRITSCHE MARK
IPC: G09F15/00
Filed: 2002-09-13
Abstract: A screen mounting apparatus for mounting a graphic display screen for use with display stands or booths, such as those used in trade shows and other exhibitions. The apparatus of the present invention is designed to receive, generally by adhesive affixation, a display graphics screen such that generally the entire length of one of the screen edges is affixed to the apparatus, with the length of the screen edge and the apparatus generally equaling that of the corresponding display frame segment.

Title: Methode pour ameliorer l'adherence d'un revetement
Inventor: FELMETSGER VALERY V
IPC: H01L21/3065
Filed: 2002-11-14
Abstract: La présente invention permet de faire adhérer fermement une pluralité de couches successives entre elles et sur la surface d'une plaquette et sur un composant ou sous-ensemble électrique même lorsque la surface de la plaquette n'est pas régulière et que les couches ne sont pas lisses. Selon le procédé de l'invention, on nettoie d'abord la surface de la plaquette par bombardement ionique d'un gaz inerte (par exemple, l'argon) sur la surface de la plaquette par décharge RF à une pression de gaz relativement élevée. On forme alors à la surface de la plaquette des irrégularités microscopiques en appliquant une faible puissance de sorte que les ions de gaz inerte (par exemple, l'argon) n'ont pas assez d'énergie pour graver la surface. On dépose ensuite par pulvérisation cathodique une couche de chrome sur la surface de la plaquette au moyen d'un magnétron à courant continu avec une contrainte de traction intrinsèque et une faible présence de gaz en faisant passer une quantité minimale de gaz inerte dans le magnétron et en n'appliquant pas de polarisation RF à la plaquette. La couche de chrome se lie automatiquement à la surface de la plaquette présentant des irrégularités microscopiques. On dépose une couche d'un alliage de nickel et de vanadium sur la couche de chrome, et une couche d'un métal choisi dans le groupe composé de l'or, de l'argent et du cuivre sur la couche de nickel-vanadium. On dépose la couche de nickel-vanadium entre la couche de chrome et la couche métallique avec une contrainte de compression intrinsèque en appliquant une polarisation RF à la plaquette afin de neutraliser la contrainte de tension intrinsèque de la couche de chrome et toute contrainte intrinsèque de la couche métallique.

IPC: H01M8/24
Filed: 2003-04-11
Abstract: A manifold for a fuel cell system, has a manifold body and a plurality of first ports in the manifold body, for connecting to fuel cell peripherals. A  plurality of second ports in the manifold body provide connections to a fuel cell. A plurality of first fluid passages within the manifold provide communication between respective ones of the first ports and respective ones of the second ports, whereby, in use, the fluid passages communicate fluids between the fuel cell stack and fuel cell peripherals. The manifold provides a higher degree of system integration, considerably reduced piping, fittings and associated hardware and hence generally reduces the size and weight of the fuel cell system. Thermal-fluid related system losses are also minimized.
