Title: System and method of local data alignment for stack memory
Inventor: STOODLEY KEVIN ALEXANDER
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 1997-07-25
Abstract: A system and method for aligning data in stack memory in a data processing system where the stack memory provides temporary storage for storing parameters for a function call. The method first determines if any of the parameters in the function being call are of a selected type. If a parameter is of a selected type, code is generated for aligning the parameter on a stricter boundary than the default boundary for the stack memory. Code is then generated to align the remaining parameters in the function call on the default boundary in the stack memory. The aligned parameter in the stack provides a reference point which is used by the called function to align locally scoped variables in the stack. By aligning a parameter of a selected type on stricter boundary in the stack, for example, a double precision floating point aligned on an 8 byte boundary, the execution performance of the compiled program code is improved.

Title: Functional polymers bearing non-metal oxyacid derivatives on dimethylene spacers
Inventor: DARLING GRAHAM D
IPC: C08F8/00
Filed: 1997-11-28
Abstract: Many spacer-containing functional polymers were produced by modifying beads of (vinyl)polystyrene, as obtained by free-radical suspension polymerization of commercial 55:45 divinylbenzene:ethylstyrene mixture, or from commercial sources. Thus, in the presence of free-radical initiators, compounds HBr, HPR2, HP(OR)2 and HSR (R = various alkyl, aryl or acyl, some also containing further -COOH/R, -OH/R, -SH/R, -N(H/R)2 groups) underwent anti-Markovnikov addition to the residual vinyl groups. Similar free-radical functionalization with various HSiR3 also proved feasible but more difficult. Other products corresponding to formal anti-Markovnikov addition of H2S, HSO3-, HP(OH)2, H2, HBR2, HOH and HOSO2R were obtained by other mechanisms, or after further modifications. FTIR spectra of the resulting functional polymers often showed complete or near-complete disappearance of initial vinyl groups, and their replacement by the expected spacer-supported functionalities. The polymer products were also characterized by elemental analysis and solid-state NMR. Many of these functionalized beads, or their further derivatives upon functional group modification, could act as stable and effective solid-phase reagents, catalysts, sequestering agents, or protecting groups for solid-phase synthesis.

Title: Apparatus for separating a light from a heavy fluid
Inventor: PANK THOMAS E
IPC: E03F5/16
Filed: 1997-01-17
Abstract: The oil is separated from the rainwater that runs off a parking lot or off the pavement of a filling station. An inlet tank (12) receives the runoff water. When the water is entering that tank at a very low rate, the surface water and/or oil in the inlet tank drains to a main separation tank (21) where the oil floats on clean water. That clean water is fed to an outlet conduit (l8) that feeds unpolluted water to the city sewer or to a river. When the inlet flow increases to an intermediate rate, a pipe of inverted L-shape (14) feeds clean water from the inlet tank (12) to the outlet conduit (18). When the inlet fluid has a very large flow rate, as might occur during a heavy downpour of rain, the fluid level in the inlet tank (12) rises to a level at which there is a direct overflow into the outlet conduit (18).

Title: Electrochemical fuel cell stack with an improved compression assembly
Inventor: RONNE JOEL A
IPC: H01M8/02
Filed: 1998-07-16
Abstract: An electrochemical fuel cell stack with an improved compression assembly comprises a tension member which is electrically non-conductive and preferably non--metallic. The tension member can be made from a composite material which has similar expansion and contraction properties as the stack materials, thereby reducing undesirable fluctuations in the compressive force applied to the stack. An improved apparatus for securing the improved tension member to the rest of the compression assembly is also provided. Preferred embodiments of an improved compression assembly employ a collet and wedges to grip the tension member and compress a resilient member which imparts a tensile force to the tension member and a compressive force to the fuel cell assemblies. In other embodiments, an improved compression assembly employs a unitary resilient member and fastener in combination with a tension member. The improved apparatus is easier to assemble in high speed manufacturing processes because the compression assembly can be assembled or installed using the same machinery which is used to compress the stack in one fixturing because the compression assembly is assembled by being stacked in essentially the same direction as the other fuel cell components. An improved method of assembling a compression assembly for an electrochemical fuel cell stack is also provided.

Inventor: SCHNEEBERGER DANIEL R
IPC: G01N1/34
Filed: 1998-09-03
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for collecting a sample gaseous mercury, to differentiate between different gaseous mercury components. A quartz denuder module is provided having a coated extended surface for adsorbing reactive gaseous mercury. After collection of a sample, the coating it is heated to desorb the mercury as elemental gaseous mercury, which can then be detected and measured in a conventional analyzer. During the sampling phase, as reactive gaseous mercury is removed from the sample flow in the denuder, the sample can then be passed to the 10 analyzer for detection of elemental gaseous mercury. Where particulate mercury may be present, a filter trap can be provided downstream from the denuder. Separate steps can be provided for heating and pyrolysis of particulate mercury, for separate measurement in the analyzer. The pump module can be configured to generate zero air as a flushing gas. The denuder can be mounted in separated module, so that it can be mounted in desired external location, remote from other instrumentation.
