Title: Fuel cell stack
Inventor: BISAKA TORU
IPC: H01M8/24
Filed: 2005-03-18
Granted: 2009-05-12
Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a fuel cell stack with improved corrosion resistance of metal separators and reduced cost. To attain this object, the fuel cell stack according to the present invention has a cell stack constituted by stacking a prescribed number of unit cells obtained by sandwiching both surfaces of an electrolyte membrane between an anode and a cathode and sandwiching the outer sides thereof with a pair of metal separators, wherein the metal separator positioned on the plus side of the cell stack is subjected to surface treatment providing for relatively higher corrosion resistance than the metal separator positioned on the minus side of the cell stack. Cost reduction can be realized, while maintaining corrosion resistance comparable with that obtained in the case when all the separators are subjected to the anticorrosive surface treatment to the same degree.

Title: Seed hopper and routing structure for varying material delivery to row units
Inventor: LANDPHAIR DONALD KEITH
IPC: A01C7/20
Filed: 2006-05-29
Granted: 2010-07-20
Abstract: Left and right main hoppers offset laterally from each other on opposite sides of the centerline of a seeding machine provide an operator access area between the hoppers. A third hopper located forwardly of and between the two main hoppers has a capacity less than that of each of the main hoppers for refuge or male seed. The hoppers are sized to maximize productivity. In one embodiment, first and second hoppers communicate with downstream conduit structure, and valve structure selects one or the other of the first and second hoppers for delivery of the material. The valve structure can be operated remotely and can be map based. Alternatviely, selectively blockable nozzle structure is located in the first and second hoppers. Easily changeable connector structure facilitates row pattern selection and hose routing.

Abstract: A method of controlling a flow of liquid includes calibrating a PSD infrared sensor associated with the spout. The calibrating includes turning on the spout to thereby dispense a stream of liquid from the spout and into a stream space; emitting infrared energy from the PSD infrared sensor and toward the stream of liquid; sensing a first position of the infrared energy after the infrared energy has been reflected back to the sensor from the stream of liquid; storing first information based upon the first position of the reflected infrared energy; turning off the spout to thereby inhibit the liquid from being dispensed from the spout; sensing a second position of the infrared energy after the infrared energy has been reflected back to the sensor from an object that is fixed relative to the sensor; and storing second information based upon the second position of the reflected infrared energy. Infrared energy is emitted from the PSD infrared sensor and toward the stream space. A third position of the infrared energy after the infrared energy has been reflected back to the sensor is sensed. The spout is controlled dependent upon the first information, the second information and the third position.
