Abstract: The production of a gas discharge lamp (100) comprises connecting a glass hollow body, especially a glass tube (120), with a ceramic electrode (140a, 140b) for capacitively coupling energy inside the hollow body. The temperature expansion coefficient of the glass material used for producing the hollow body and the temperature expansion coefficient of the ceramic material used for producing the electrode agree with each other. The glass hollow body is joined to the electrode using direct melting. An Independent claim is also included for a gas discharge lamp produced using the above process. Preferred Features: Soda lime soft glass is used as the glass material and BaTiO3 is used as the ceramic material. The soda lime glass contains (wt.%) 68.1 SiO2, 1.2 Li2O, 3.0 SrO, 3.4 Al2O3, 8.7 BaO, 1.9 CaO, 7.3 Na2O, 5.0 K2O and 1.3 MgO. The BaTiO3 contains the following dopants: 1.6 % Nb2O5, 1.6% CoO and 1.6% Mn2O3. The glass hollow body is filled with a filling gas containing mercury.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates prototyping asynchronous circuits. The system first receives a design of an asynchronous circuit, which includes asynchronous cells. The system maps the asynchronous cells of the asynchronous circuit onto clocked synchronous cells within a logic array or programmable logic array device such as standard-cell gate-arrays and field-programmable gate-arrays. The mapping delays the generation of the asynchronous clock events until the next clock event, thus preserving the full functionality of the asynchronous circuit. The system then implements the mapped circuit on the synchronous device to perform the functions that are mapped from the asynchronous circuit. Finally, the system operates the synchronous device, and the results of operating the synchronous device are used to verify the design of the asynchronous circuit.

Abstract: The invention describes a method and the relevant devices for permitting an operation stable with time of a stack of membrane fuel cells fed with air and a gas containing hydrogen and at least 100 ppm of carbon monoxide, characterised in that it provides for an oxidising condition at the anodes of said cells in a self-adjusting continuos way or sequentially discontinuous way. Different embodiments of the invention are illustrated wherein the oxidising condition is obtained by adding to the gas containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide, oxygen produced in an electrolysis cell integrated to the fuel cell stack, or by flowing air through porous areas obtained in the bipolar plates or by resorting to high gas diffusion rate membranes, wherein the air flow rate is regulated in both cases by adjusting the pressure differential existing between air and the gas containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide. According to a further embodiment of the method of the invention, the oxidising condition is obtained by sequentially short-circuiting the fuel cell stacks provided with external contacts connected to a control unit.

Abstract: Provided is an internal combustion engine emission control technology that includes:
split passages (20, 30) that divide exhaust gas discharged from an internal combustion
engine (1) into a plurality of streams; particulate filters (A, B) that are provided
individually in the split passages (20, 30), and that remove a component present in the
exhaust gas at a high removal rate if a temperature of the exhaust gas that inflows via
the split passages (20, 30) satisfies a predetermined temperature condition; and
exhaust choke valves (24, 34) that change proportions of amounts of flow of the
exhaust gas into the split passages (20, 30) so that the predetermined temperature
condition is satisfied in at least one split passage (20, 30) of the split passages.
Therefore, it becomes possible to perform emission control over a broadened range of
changing temperatures of the exhaust gas. Furthermore, even in a situation where
the emission removal rate normally drops, emission control can be performed while
avoiding reduction in the emission removal rate as much as possible.

Abstract: During printing on a thick paper, a Scorotron charger (29)

rotational direction charges a photosensitive drum (27) to about

developing roller lowers the potential to about 80 V. The
transfer bias is turned off at the end of printing at T1 and
does not lower the surface potential after this. When the
surface of the drum (27) opposite the transfer roller (30) reaches a
position opposite the Scorotron charger (29) at T2, a DC motor (86)

the drum (27) that passes opposite the developing roller (31) remains
at about 400 V and is higher than developing roller
potential until the photosensitive drum (27) comes to a complete
stop after idling at T3. This prevents the developing agent
