Title: Three way valve assembly and fuel cell system
Inventor: ULSCHMID TODD M
IPC: H01M8/02
Filed: 2004-07-09
Abstract: Improved three way valves (100) comprise three openings (108, 110, 112) aligned to directly connect with a corresponding series of ports and a selectively positionable seal that regulates the flow of a fluid within the valve. Improved fuel cells comprise a plurality of flow channels connected to at least one improved three way valve suitable for regulating fluid flow through the fuel cell. Generally, the flow channels comprise a series of ports, wherein the three way valve is configured to engage and disengage from the series of ports directly to form a manifold without the use of additional connectors, for example, tubes and/or hoses. Due to the fact that the three way valve can engage and disengage form the series of ports directly, potential leakage points in the fuel cell piping system can be reduced. In some embodiments, the three way valve comprises a central chamber (102) having a selectively positionable seal, a bypass chamber (104) and a through chamber (106). The selectively positionable seal can regulate fluid flow from the central chamber to the bypass chamber and to the through chamber.

Abstract: A slide plate (4) having a slide opening (5) that opens a through-opening is mounted inside the sliding valve housing (2) provided with this through-opening (3). The slide plate is sealed in each operating position by elastically deformable sealing rings (7a, 7a', 7b, 7b'), which are placed inside encircling grooves (6a, 6a', 6b, 6b'), and which act on both sides of the slide plate (4) while surrounding the through-opening (3). The inner edge (8) of the slide opening (5) is, with regard to the wall thickness of the slide plate, tapered toward the center (21). This prevents the inner edge, when moving into the closed position, from being able to damage the sealing rings or push them out.

Title: Method of controllable morphology of self-assembled monolayers on substrates
Inventor: NIE HENG-YONG
IPC: B05D3/04
Filed: 2004-08-17
Abstract: Method of controlling the morphology of self-assembled monolayers (SAMS) on substrates having hydrophilic surfaces. The hydrophilic surface is exposed to a fluid having a mixture of molecules which can self-assemble on the hydrophilic surface and hydrophobic molecules for a sufficient length of time so that the molecules which can self-assemble on the hydrophilic surface form a complete self-assembled monolayer. In a particular embodiment octadecylphosphonic acid (OPA) molecules have been self-assembled on oxidized substrates including but not limited to mica, silicon, sapphire, quartz and aluminum by spin-coating a solution containing the octadecylphosphonic acid (OPA) molecules and hydrophobic molecules such as chloroform or trichloroethylene under a controlled relative humidity. Control of the morphology of OPA SAMs is affected by adjusting humidity and the duration of spin-coating. Atomic force microscopy revealed that relative humidity has a profound influence on the morphology of the OPA SAMs formed. When sufficient molecules are applied either consecutively or separately, the final morphology will be a complete monolayer, regardless of the relative humidity.

Title: Method, terminal and computer program product for adjusting power consumption of a rfid reader associated with a mobile terminal
Inventor: VESIKIVI PETRI
IPC: G06K7/00
Filed: 2004-10-06
Abstract: The method, terminal and computer program product determine the context of the mobile terminal associated with the RFID reader and adjusts the power consumption of the RFID reader based upon the determined context relative to at least one previous context determination. To adjust the power consumption, the frequency at which the RED reader is actuated may be altered. Thus, the power consumption of the RFID reader may be reduced when no change in the context of the mobile terminal is determined and/or may be increased when a change in the context of the mobile terminal is determined. Due to the adjustment of power consumption by RFID readers, power is conserved in the mobile terminals associated with RFID readers, which permits the mobile terminals and RFID readers to operate longer without requiring charging or replacement of the power supply.
