Abstract: Current collector for carrying current between adjacent flat stacked high-temperature fuel cells containing a solid electrolyte (5) based on ZrO2. The oxygen electrode (6) of one fuel cell is electrically connected to the fuel electrode (7) of the succeeding fuel cell via a gastight, electrically conducting separating plate (11) comprising a multiplicity of fully elastic, resilient metallic or ceramic elements (3; 4) which have long-term stability, do not oxidise on the oxygen side or form a refractory protective oxide and ensure a multiplicity of contact points. Under a load of 10<3> Pa applied perpendicularly to the plane of the plate, the deflection of the current collector is intended to be at least 0.1 mm. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electromagnetic radiation absorber is formed by dispersing into a dielectric binder acicular magnetic metallic filaments with an average length of about 10 µm or less, diameters of 0.1 µm or more, and aspect (length/diameter) ratios between 10:1 and 50:1. Preferably the average length is about 5 µm, the aspect ratios are between 10:1 and 25:1, and the dielectric binder is polymeric. The volume fraction of the filaments may be lower than 35% of the total and still provide satisfactory absorption. An absorbing paint is formed by dissolving the absorber in a base liquid. The absorber or absorbing paint may be applied to a conductive surface, such as a metallic wire, plate or foil. Impedance matching materials are preferred but not required.

Abstract: A downhole centralizer is provided for positioning along a drill pipe string passing through a deviated well bore. A centralizer body (14) is connected to an upper sub (12) by a plurality of lobe-shaped connectors (32,38) which permit angular deviation of the central axis of the upper sub with respect to the central axis of the centralizer body. The centralizer body is preferably connected to a lower sub (16) by similar lobe-shaped connectors (46,44). The opposite ends of each of the upper and lower subs are threaded for fixed enagement with respective upper (20) and lower (26) pipe joints in the tubular string. A flexible flow conduit (48) is positioned within a passageway through the centralizer body, and a pair of upper and lower sealing member (50) are provided to maintain sealed engagement between the respective upper and lower subs and the flow conduit for transmission of fluid through the centralizer. The centralizer of the present invention may be reliably used to center the tubing string within the deviated portion of a borehole, thereby reducing torque losses to the drill bit and wear on the drill string.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cutting insert (10) for chip forming machining, said cutting insert (10) including at least one cutting edge (16) created by the transition between an upper face (11) and an edge face (13) of the cutting insert (10), said upper face (11) being a rake face and said edge face (13) being a clearance face. 
     In tools for metal cutting having indexable cutting inserts of hard and wear resistant material the cutting edges are subjected to wear and sometimes part of or the entire cutting edge collapses. In order to avoid damage to the tool body it is usual that the cutting insert rests on a shim of cemented carbide. 
     The idea of the present invention is to present a cutting insert having an integrated shim, the transition between the cutting insert (10) and the integrated shim being defined by a step (18). By such an arrangement the total amount of cemented carbide of the cutting insert and the shim is reduced. Also said step constitutes an indication of fracture and thereby the fracture of the cutting edge is better controlled.
