IPC: C25B1/30
Filed: 2000-05-12
Abstract: Service water is filtered (11) subjected to
reverse osmosis (12) and processed by filtration
(18) to remove substances that consume ozone. The
thus purified water is deionized in an ion-exchanger
(20) and the resulting ultrapure water in the range
of 0.01 - 2.00 µS/cm. The proper is supplied
through a gas-liquid separating vessel (40) to an
electrolysis cell (30). Ozone-containing gas
produced on the anodic side of the cell (30) is
separated from liquids in the vessel (40) and passed
to a temperature-controlled mixing vessel (50) where
it is mixed with purified water from filter unit
(18). The resulting high concentration ozone water
is supplied to a discharge device (26) which dilutes
it with filtered service water to the desired
concentration for use.

Abstract: Blocks and clusters are brought to correspondence
thereby to erase blocks of memory area efficiently. A flash
memory has its physical addresses partitioned from address 0h
sequentially into blocks each having eight sectors. The data
area of logical address starts at address 4Dh, which is set
to the starting physical address 50h of the block which is close
to the top of data area, and the data area is set sequentially
to the following physical addresses. The remaining logical
addresses 3D7Dh-3D7Fh are brought back to the top of physical
address and set to physical addresses 0h-2h. Consequently,
clusters (a cluster has 4k bytes or 2k bytes) of data sent from
a host unit correspond to blocks of physical addresses,
enabling block erasure of the flash memory, whereby the number
of times of erasing operation at data writing can be reduced
significantly.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and apparatus for the gasification of a carbonaceous material. According to the process, the carbonaceous material is gasified at an elevated temperature to produce gas, condensable compounds are separated from the gas, and the product gas thus obtained is recovered. According to the invention, in order to separate the condensable compounds the gas obtained from the gasifiers is directed to a dry scrubber (2) operating according to the fluidized bed priciple, wherein it is contacted with the bed material of the fluidized bed, the interior temperature of the dry scrubber being maintained lower than the condensation temperature of the condensable compounds in order to condense these compounds into the bed material. By means of the invention, a substantially tar-free gas can be produced which is suitable for the production of both heat and electricity.

Title: Device and method for line-voltage dependent thyristor controlled pre-charging of output capacitors in a three-level pulse rectifier system
Inventor: KOLAR JOHANN W
IPC: H02M7/12
Filed: 2000-05-17
Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for initial charging of the output capacitors of a three-phase three-point pulsed rectifier system. According to the invention, a thyristor is arranged in each phase between the input terminal and is connected in the current flow direction to the anode of the freewheeling diode, and an initial charging path is connected in parallel with this thyristor. The circuit for actuating the thyristor is activated after completion of the initial charging; the reference voltage is applied to the negative input of the comparator. When the potential profile which is present at the tap of the voltage divider at the input of the bridge path rises, the voltage at the positive comparator input slightly before the zero crossing of the mains voltage to positive values exceeds the reference voltage, thus initiating switching of the comparator output and/or actuation of the thyristor and, after the mean bridge branch input potential passes through zero, the actuation of the thyristor is suppressed once again. The thyristor is thus triggered only within that mains voltage half-cycle in which it is required for carrying the mains phase current.

Patent EP-1194969-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ROBERTS JOY
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2000-06-27
Abstract: A method and apparatus increase the temperature of a fuel cell via reactant starvation at one or both electrodes. Reactant starvation at an electrode results in an increased overvoltage at the electrode and hence increased internal heat generation under load. Further, starvation techniques may be used to prevent poisoning of electrode catalysts, a potential problem that is aggravated at lower temperatures. Starvation conditions can be prolonged or intermittent and can be obtained, for example, by suitably reducing the supply rate of a reactant or by operating the fuel cell at sufficiently high current density so as to consume reactant faster than it is supplied. The method can allow for some generation of useful power by the fuel cell during start-up. The method is particularly suitable for starting up a solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell from temperatures below 0° C.
