Patent EP-1327278-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MCGRATH JAMES E
IPC: H01M8/10
Filed: 2001-09-20
Abstract: Sulfonated polymers are made by the direct polymerization of a sulfonated monomer to form the sulfonated polymers. The types of sulfonated polymers may include polysulfones or polyimides. The sulfonated polymers can be formed into membranes that may be used in proton exchange membrane fuel cells or as ion exchange membranes. The membranes formed form the sulfonated polymers exhibit improved properties over that of Nafion3. A heteropoly acid may be added to the sulfonated polymer to form a nanocomposite membrane in which the heteropoly acid is highly dispersed. The addition of a heteropoly acid to the sulfonated polymer increases the thermal stability of the membrane, enhances the conductivity above 100  DEG C, and reduces the water uptake of the membrane.

Abstract: The inventive device for aromatising a gas medium comprises a
chamber provided with a flow booster for mixing the gas medium with
aromatic fumes. Said fumes are delivered to the chamber by a dispenser
which is embodied in the form of a reservoir containing a liquid aromatic
substance. The dispenser is provided with a system of nozzles for supplying
the aromatic substances to the mixing chamber. The supply of the substance
is carried out by producing pressure pulses inside the chamber. Said pulses
occur as a result of a pulse operation of actuating elements which are
arranged in the chamber and embodied in the form of thermistors, stricting
elements and controlled commutator. Said actuating elements are controlled
by a field programmed logic array which is also controlled by a panel or a
computer and programmed in relation to a value, duration and repetition rate
of voltage pulses coming to actuating elements. The diameters of the nozzles
range from 10 to 70 µm, the distance therebetween being less than 50 µm.

Abstract: To produce a triple-fold bellows, without using a hot hose, a vulcanizing mold (2) is used with mirror image upper (2a) and lower (2b) half-sections divided by a horizontal plane (6). Both half-sections have spaced segments (8a,8b,10a,10b,12a,12b,14a,14b), moved by a press. <??>Synchronized movements are applied from both end sides, through linear controls, and initially the ends of a bellows blank (20) are clamped in a sealed and shaping fit around the end plates (16,18). The end plates and the profile shells formed by the segments are moved together with a simultaneous crown and camber pressure. The outer profile shells (8,10) are moved back on a path which is twice as long as the path for the inner profile shells (12,14), and the crown camber pressure is ended when the mold reaches the closed position. The blank is then vulcanized.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for communicating with terminals (A, B) at
remote locations (1), which uses the public telephone network (7, 8, 9) for communication
between a central point (2) and any terminal at any location. 
     In order to set up the connection between the central point and any terminal via the
public telephone network, the terminal can be connected to the telephone network through an
intermediate gate circuit (4) installed at the location, in which gate circuit not only coding for
the location, but also the telephone number of the central point is preprogrammed, and which
gate circuit is opened when a start signal is transmitted by wireless means (11, 12, 13) from
the central point to the location. 
     If terminals at other remote locations can be connected in a corresponding manner via
the telephone network to one or more central points, a passive network is created. 
     Central heating installations, deep-freeze installations, copying machines and the like
can be quoted as possible applications. 
     The application of the system according to the invention includes achieving savings in
terms of preventive maintenance on the connected terminals.

Abstract: Tuners (2) comprising electronically tuned filters (22,24) like varicap tuned
coil-capacitor tank circuits need to be electronically calibrated, without receivers (1) being
near. To store calibration signals, said tuners (2) need memories, which do not go well with
high-frequency technology. By providing tuners (2) with identifiers for identifying database
fields in databases (40) situated outside receivers (1), calibration signals resulting from
calibration processes can be downloaded for calibrating the electronically tuned filter (22,24)
after installment in the receiver (1) and without the tuner (2) requiring any memory.
Preferably, the receiver (1) comprises a receiver memory (11) located outside the tuner (2)
for storing the calibration signal after downloading, and the database (40) is coupled to a
network (41), like the internet or an intranet, with the receiver (1) comprising an in/output to
be coupled to the network (41), and with the database (40) being a server. The tuner (2)
comprises a digital-to-analog converter (27,28) for converting the digital calibration signal
into an analog calibration signal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for establishing private line connections
between two lines (3,4) connected to private terminals (1,2). A Provisioning Center (30)
exchanges signaling messages with the two switches (5,6) connected to the two
lines. The exchange of signaling messages allows one of the two switches
to identify the two end system addresses of an interswitch network (20,22) for
interconnecting the two terminals. Advantageously, standard protocol
messages can be used for establishing these private packet connections.
Advantageously, the process of establishing private line connections is
automated from the step of identifying the two lines to be connected in
the Provisioning Center. Advantageously, this arrangement does not
require the segregation of private network facilities.

Abstract: A method of rendering a plurality of triangles into a colour
buffer defined by a plurality of pixel locations, utilising a
triangle identification buffer and a depth buffer. A
relatively unique identifier is assigned to each of the
triangles to be rendered. Before colour and texture mapping,
each triangle is depth compared on a per pixel basis. If a
pixel of a current triangle is in front of any existing pixel
at that point, the current triangles identifier is over
written into a triangle identification buffer. Colour texture
data is only retrieved for each triangle that appears in the
identification buffer once all triangles have been compared.
