Abstract: The present invention provides a proton-exchange membrane fuel cell power generating equipment that keeps temperature of coolant of a fuel cell in a predetermined temperature range without stop operation of the equipment even when a hot water reserving tank is filled with hot water and the hot water is not discharged to the outside, automatically prevents freezing of a water system during stop operation of the equipment, minimizes maintenance work in a cold region or in the winter season, has high reliability with equipment's service life extended, and supplies hot water heated by efficiently recovering exhaust heat from plural heat exchangers installed in the equipment to the hot water reserving tank. The power generating equipment has a line for circulating and feeding hot water A produced by exchanging heat in the heat exchanger connected to a process gas burner for burning hydrogen until the equipment becomes stable in starting operation. When a water temperature of a water tank becomes a predetermined temperature or more, a fan for feeding air for combustion to the said process gas burner is operated to decrease temperature of the hot water A using the heat exchanger as a cooler of the hot water A and the cooled hot water A is circulated and fed to the line for cooling. The equipment has a control system that, when the water system may freeze during stop operation of the power generating equipment, prevents the freezing by detecting freezing, operating the process gas burner to circulate the hot water of the hot water reserving tank in a part or the whole of the water system. City water supplied to the bottom of the hot water reserving tank is taken out and fed to the fourth heat exchanger through the first duct, from the fourth heat exchanger to the third heat exchanger through the second duct, to the first heat exchanger through the third duct, and then to the second heat exchanger through the fourth duct, and hot water is supplied from the second heat exchanger to the upper part of the hot water reserving tank through the fifth duct via die first selector valve. The fifth duct is branched, the hot water from the second heat exchanger is guided to the water tank through the sixth duct via the second selector valve, merged with the fifth duct through the seventh duct, and returned to the hot water reserving tank. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A means for guaranteeing the proper behavior as specified by the JMS semantics of clustered message server when the individual computer that comprise the cluster are separated by a network partition. A clustered message server is responsible for the reliable transportation of messages between different distributed computer applications. It employs multiple computers to perform a function that otherwise appears to be performed by a monolithic server running on one computer, but with more capacity and reliability than can be provided by one computer. If a computer in the cluster fails, another computer should automatically assume the role of the failed computer. However, it is not possible for the other machines in the cluster to detect the difference between the failure of one or more computers in the cluster, and the failure of data network connecting those computers. In ordinary clusters, different actions would be required in these two cases, but since they are impossible to distinguish, computer failure is always assumed and network failure is ignored and the consequence non-deterministic. The invention described here provides a means of responding to failures that yields correct behavior as specified by the JMS semantics whether the failure is due to computer failure or network failure.

Abstract: A communications device such as a mobile telephone (1) responds to the input of a dialed number for a call destination (2) by generating and outputting a request message transmitted to a control centre (7) via a telecommunications system (3). The device receives a response message from the control centre containing routing data and credit data representing remaining credit within an account limit of the subscriber. An outgoing communications session is then initiated using the routing data which may for example enable a dialed telephone number to be modified to achieve optimum routing to the call destination via one or more preferred networks. The device also includes a credit control application (83) for limiting the duration of the communication in accordance with the credit data. Mobile telephones may thereby be used with a prepayment subscription account even during roaming operation in which the mobile telephone registers with a network other than the subscriber's home network.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil d'extinction d'incendie comprenant un atomiseur pneumo-acoustique destiné à distribuer un brouillard de liquide (tel que l'eau) sous la forme de gouttelettes présentant une taille comprise entre environ 50 et 90 microns. Ce brouillard est en suspension dans un gaz d'extinction d'incendie tel que l'azote. Ce gaz est acheminé vers l'atomiseur pneumo-acoustique à partir d'un système qui, dans certaines modes de réalisation, comprend des bouteilles et un générateur de gaz. Pour réduire la consommation de matières d'extinction d'incendie, cet appareil d'extinction d'incendie peut fonctionner en mode pulsé, la distribution de matières d'extinction d'incendie étant interrompue sauf si un rallumage de feu est détecté par un détecteur. Dans certains modes de réalisation, l'atomiseur pneumo-acoustique fonctionne à des pressions très faibles, caractéristique préférable lors d'une utilisation dans un aéronef.

Abstract: Described is a method and apparatus for forming interconnects with a metal-metal oxide electromigration barrier and etch-stop. In one embodiment of the invention, the method includes depositing a metal layer on the top of a planarized interconnect layer, the interconnect layer having an interlayer dielectric (ILD) with a top that is planar with the top of an electrically conductive interconnect. In one embodiment of the invention, the method includes reacting the metal layer with the ILD to form a metal oxide layer on the top of the ILD. At the same time, the metal layer will not be significantly oxidized by the electrically conductive interconnect, thus forming a metal barrier on the electrically conductive interconnect to improve electromigration performance. The metal barrier and metal oxide layer together comprise a protective layer. A second ILD may be subsequently formed on the protective layer, and the protective layer may act an etch-stop during a subsequent etch of the second ILD.
