Abstract: A molten carbonate fuel cell start-up process wherein at least one cell unit having a metallic cathode, a metallic anode, and green tapes of electrolyte matrix and electrolyte carbonate between the cathode and anode is heated to temperatures about 250° to about 350°C in the presence of oxygen-containing gas with continued heating to temperatures above the melting point of the carbonate electrolyte in the presence of inert gas and about 0.5 to about 10 mole percent hydrogen, based upon the total gas composition, and maintaining temperatures above the melting point of the carbonate electrolyte for a time sufficient for the carbonate to distribute itself to the cell components, and then introducing oxidant gas to contact the cathode and fuel gas to contact the anode for operation of the fuel cell. The start-up process according to this invention provides simultaneous oxidation and lithiation of the cathode and provides good electrical conductivity and catalytic properties of the cathode for stable fuel cell operation.

Abstract: An inert film is removed from a surface of an N type semiconductor layer to expose an active face. Then, a source gas containing an P type impurity component is applied to the active face to form an impurity adsorption film. Thereafter, a solid-phase diffusion of the impurity is carried out from a diffusion source composed of the N type impurity adsorption film into the N type semiconductor layer to form therein a P type semiconductor layer to thereby provide a PN junction. Lastly, a pair of electrodes are connected to the respective semiconductor layers to form an PN junction device.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adaptive rotational speed measuring apparatus having, for example, a magnetic rotational speed sensor and means for comparing and evaluating the sensor signal of the rotational speed sensor in order to generate a corresponding digital output signal (UA), which despite disadvantageous, high offset voltage tolerances and shifts uniquely identifies and evaluates the periodic sensor signal. The apparatus contains a window comparator (17) with a variable window as means for comparison, which via at least one logic element (20, 21) drives a flip-flop (25) for transmitting the output signal (UA). Arranged downstream of the window comparator (17) are means which continuously generate corresponding reference voltages (UR1, UR2) for the window comparator (17) as a function of the raised or lowered values of the sensor signal. …<IMAGE>…

IPC: B05B7/04
Filed: 1990-10-04
Abstract: A method and apparatus for spraying liquid coating material containing supercritical fluid or liquified gas as a diluent comprises a spray gun having internal passages which transmit the liquid coating material under high pressure from an inlet (64) to a nozzle (50) at the tip of the gun (14) and then to an outlet (66) so that the liquid coating material can be continuously recirculated. A relatively short flow discharge path is formed between the internal passages in the spray gun (14) and the nozzle (50) to avoid the formation of an area of ambient or reduced pressure so that the supercritical fluid of liquified gas is substantially maintained in solution in the liquified coating until it is discharged from the gun (14). A pressure regulator (128) is provided to maintain a substantially constant pressure drop across the inlet (64) and outlet (66) of the gun (14) to induce flow of liquid coating material through the gun (14), and to permit several guns (14) to be connected in series without creating a substantial pressure drop therebetween.

Abstract: The invention relates to the homogenization of mixtures of internally conductive polymers like 3-­substituted polythiophene and matrix polymers. With an efficient homogenization the conductivity is improved when the portion of the conductive polymer is low. An efficient homogenization is achieved in the invention by mixing the internally conductive polymer with a monomer or by dissolving it into it, after which the monomer is polymerized. The plastic composites so obtained are used for several purposes in which conductivity is needed, such as electromagnetic interference and antistatic shielding.

Abstract: A server extension architecture provides means for intercepting input events and output protocol requests. Remote terminal emulation on an XWindows system is possible. The architecture comprises a portion of memory in the server extension which is identical to a portion of memory in the server where the server stores the addresses of input and output handling routines. By swapping these addresses with addresses in the server extension portion of memory, the server extension intercepts input and output, for monitoring a server or an application program or controlling a workstation. The server extension architecture is operated under the control of an application program.

Abstract: The invention relates to the preparation and use of gene banks of synthetic human antibodies (huAb) or antibody parts which contain the antigen-binding domain. Starting from an huAb framework in a suitable vector, the hypervariable regions of the antibody cDNA are formed by oligonucleotides which have a virtually random composition. Relatively conserved amino acids in the hypervariable regions are in this case taken into account by the choice of appropriate nucleotides during the oligonucleotide synthesis, in the same way as the ratio of the employed nucleotides to one another is preset in such a way that a nonsense codon is to be expected only in every 89th position at the most. Expression of this synthetic huAb cDNA in microbial expression systems, for example the vector pFMT described hereinafter, in E. coli thus provides a synthetic huAb library with a comprehensive repertoire for screening with selected antigens in vitro.

Abstract: In summary, the invention underlying this application like the simultaneous invention claimed can be applied individually per se, the aim of each being to incorporate a roller shutter and inspection cover in the wall in the unplastered state. The synchronised, complementary interaction of the two inventions, however - the latter while protecting the roller shutter tape permits what is taught by way of limiting innovation in the former - results in an ideal state which brings about a large number of secondary advantages for five direct and indirect parties. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of generating data defining a tool path for a numerically controlled machine (14) is designed for generating machining tool path data without establishing offset plane data, so that the machining tool path depth data can be established for discontinuous, surfaced, offset planes which might otherwise cause interference in the tool path. The method includes the steps of forming a plurality of patches defining a three-dimensional plane to be machined, sub-dividing each patch into a predetermined number of segments as divided by a plurality of grid points so that the distance is maintained to be smaller than the machining area of the machine tool (14). The machining depth at each grid point within the tool path is derived with respect to the maximum height position at which the machining tool comes into contact with the grid point. The machining depth is modified with a correction value which is determined in terms of the surface condition of the surface to be machined.

Abstract: Controlling turbulence in a medium, caused by injection of energy into the medium at relatively large scale with consequent dissipation of energy at relatively small scale, is achieved by introducing into the medium a broad spectrum stochastic external disturbance. In particular, the method is used to enhance propulsion of a ship, submarine, or aircraft, or flow through a pipe. The disturbance is, in particular, introduced as a substantially white noise signal into a boundary layer so as to disrupt coherence of the flow field in the inertial range.
