Abstract: An improved method of making a membrane electrode assembly ("MEA") for an
electrochemical fuel cell is provided, which MEA comprises coextensive ion exchange
membrane and electrode layers and a resilient fluid impermeable integral
seal comprising a sealant material impregnated into the porous electrode layers in
sealing regions of the MEA. The MEA is made from a multi-layer material by impregnating
sealing regions with a flow processable sealant material, curing same,
and cutting through said multi-layer material in said sealing regions. In preferred
embodiments, the integral seal circumscribes the electrochemically active area of
the MEA. The integral seal preferably also extends laterally beyond the edge of the
MEA, thereby envelopping the peripheral region including the side edge of the
MEA. An integral seal may also be provided around any openings, such as manifold
openings, that are formed in the MEA. Preferably the sealant material is a
flow processable elastomer applied to the MEA using an injection molding process
prior to being cured. In preferred embodiments the seal has a plurality of spaced
parallel raised ribs with cross ribs extending therebetween at spaced intervals. The
raised ribs and cross ribs provide compartmentalized seals that provide improved
protection against fluid leaks in a fuel cell assembly.

Abstract: The invention relates in general to systems for
digital transmission, for example digital mobile radio
systems such as the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications
System) and in particular to the receiving-end estimation of
parameters which are required for retrieving the data. 
     An object of the invention resides, in particular,
in indicating an efficient way which, particularly in the
case of CDMA systems with power control, ensures estimates of
higher quality than with methods of the prior art, and
simultaneously largely avoids a substantial increase in the
complexity of system implementation. 
     For this purpose, the invention proposes a method
for improving the reception of a CDMA receiver based on a
parameter estimation method, as well as a correspondingly
adapted CDMA receiver, in which the estimates are produced by
processing received values (y i [k]) provided with correction
factors (s), the correction factors (s) serving to equalize
different power levels of the received signal.
