Title: Laminated gasket for use with fuel cell stack
Inventor: Simon Carl Armour
IPC: H01M8/028
Filed: 2019-10-11
Abstract: A gasket 100’, 100’’ for use with a fuel cell 10 comprises a compliant layer (108, fig 6a) affixed to a structural layer (104, fig 6a). An adhesive layer (112, fig 6a) is disposed between the compliant layer and the structural layer. The gasket is impermeable to hydrogen. The compliant layer can be deformed so that the gasket has a reduced thickness and produces a seal when placed between fuel cell surfaces. The compliant layer preferably comprises ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) and/or polyolefin, and the structural layer may be an elastomeric rubber. Other compliant, structural, and/or adhesive layers may be included in the gasket (figs 6b-i). An adhesive layer is preferably provided on the gasket for contact with the fuel cell surface. In this case, a method of affixing the gasket within a fuel cell stack comprises providing the gasket in an uncompressed state, contacting a first fuel cell with the gasket to form a seal between the fuel cell and the gasket, and fixing the gasket to the first fuel cell via the adhesive layer. The gasket can be used within a fuel cell stack to maintain a predetermined gap between adjacent fuel cell plates.

Title: Controlling a surgical instrument
Inventor: Graham John Veitch
IPC: A61B34/30
Filed: 2020-06-30
Abstract: A control system for controlling manipulation of a surgical instrument in response to a remote surgeon input device. The surgical instrument comprises opposable first and second end effector elements connected to a shaft by an articulated coupling. The control system transforms commands from the input device 804 to alter the angle between the first and second end effector elements according to a first control relationship 803 to drive the first and second end effector elements to rotate 805. When the control system receives sensed forces 801 applied to the first and second end effector elements, it compares the sensed forces to a threshold force 802. Upon determining that the threshold force has been exceeded, the control system transforms subsequent commands from the input device 807 to alter the angle between the first and second end effector elements according to a second control relationship 806 to drive the first and second end effector elements to rotate 808, the second control relationship being different from the first control relationship.
