Abstract: Monopolar fuel cell pack (10) with at least two proton exchange membrane fuel cells or fuel cell packs (10) disposed symmetrically around an intermediate layer (200). The fuel cell pack (10) includes a plurality of cells each having a proton exchange membrane (20a,20b) in its middle and a cathode and an anode at both sides of the membrane, collector plates (14a,14b,13a,13b) contacting the cathode and the anode, respectively, in each cell, which act as monopolar electrodes at the respective anode and cathode. The cells are evenly disposed on an arbitrary plane with a hollow (18) interposed between two adjacent cells and an electrical connection member (15) for electrically connecting the cathode collector plate 14a resp. 14b of one cell to the anode collector plate 13a resp. 13b of the other cell is disposed within the hollow (18). The fuel cell pack also includes a porous fuel diffusion member (21a,21b) contacting the anode of each cell and a porous air contact member (22a,22b) contacting the cathode of each cell; an anode end plate (11) and a cathode end plate (12) disposed at the side of the anodes of the cells and at the side of the cathodes of the cells, respectively, for protecting the cells; a fuel supply and discharge unit for supplying fuel toward the anodes (11) in the hollow (18) and discharging the fuel; a fuel flow stopper (16) disposed at a portion at the part of the cathodes (12) in the hollow (18), for preventing fuel from flowing toward the portion at the part of the cathodes in the hollow; and a sealing member (17) for sealing the anodes of the cells and the portion of the hollow corresponding to the anodes. Accordingly, circulation of fuel for the plurality of cells is performed through a single inlet and a single outlet so that a fuel supply line is very simple compared to a structure of a fuel supply line for each cell in a conventional cell pack having a structural limitation. In addition, the cell pack generates current of a high density without a separate cooling device.

Abstract: A fuel injector comprising a valve member (12) which is engageable with a
valve seating to control fuel delivery from the injector, an actuator
arrangement (28) and an amplifier arrangement (34, 62) for transmitting
movement of the actuator arrangement to the valve member (12). The
amplifier arrangement comprises a piston member (34) with which the
actuator arrangement is cooperable to apply a retracting force to the piston
member (34), and a control chamber (62) for fluid. The amplifier
arrangement preferably comprises mechanical coupling means (48, 50, 52;
12 b , 35 a ) for coupling movement of the piston member (34) to the valve
member (12) upon application of an initial retracting force to the piston
member (34). The amplifier arrangement is arranged such that, upon
application of the initial retracting force, the valve member (12) is caused to
move with the piston member (34) away from the valve seating, movement of
the valve member (12) being decoupled from the piston member (34)
following initial movement of the valve member (12) away from the valve
seating so as to provide variable amplification of movement of the actuator
arrangement to the valve member (12).

Abstract: A method for calculating the capacitance of a transducer (C 0 ) without knowing the
exact resonance frequency of a transducer/blade combination is achieved by sweeping across a
broad frequency range which contains resonant and non-resonant frequencies where C 0  can be
measured. A pre-defined frequency range is set independently of the resonance frequency of a
specific transducer/blade combination. C 0  of the transducer/blade is measured at several different
frequencies within the pre-defined frequency range to ensure that invalid C 0  measurements are
disregarded, and the temperature of the transducer is calculated based on valid C 0  measurements.
The determined transducer temperature, based on C 0  measurements, can be used to optimize
performance and/or provide a safety shutdown mechanism for the generator.

Abstract: A network device monitors a signal transmitted to and received from
a wireless or optical link for detecting a bit-by-bit coincidence between
them. In response to the detection of the coincidence, the network device
determines that the received signal is a copy of the transmitted signal. The
network device further monitors its transition states for detecting a
predetermined state which persists indefinitely during a link failure. When
the predetermined state and a copy of the transmitted signal are
simultaneously detected, the network device discontinues its predetermined
state and enters a normal state.

Abstract: A seatbelt pretensioner (10, 210, 310) with a soft-start piston actuator
(50) is provided. The pretensioner (10, 210, 310) cooperates with a webbing reel shaft
(112, 212, 312) of a seatbelt retractor webbing reel (not shown). The pretensioner (10,
210, 310) includes a housing (16, 216, 316) with at least one passage, and preferably
two volumetrically intersecting perpendicular passages (18, 218, 318; 20, 220, 320).
A clutch assembly (30, 230, 330) is fixed within the first passage (18, 218, 318), and a
webbing reel shaft (12, 212, 312) extends axially through the clutch assembly (30,
230, 330). A soft-start piston actuator (50) with at least a first pressure surface (54)
and a second pressure surface (56) is positioned in the second passage (20, 220, 320),
and is actuatable with a gas generant composition (60, 260) that produces pressurized
gas upon signaling from a remote sensor (not shown). The pressurized gas pushes the
piston actuator (50) through the second passage (20, 220, 320) at a first rate when the
smaller of two pressure surfaces (54) is acted upon, and at a second rate when it acts
upon the larger of two pressure surfaces (56). Actuation of the piston actuator (50)
thusly tensions a strap (40, 240, 340) extending across the second passage (20, 220,
320), inducing rotary advancement of the clutch assembly (30, 230, 330) and the
operably connected webbing reel shaft (12, 212, 312), winding the attached seatbelt
webbing (not shown). A method of pretensioning a seatbelt (not shown) in the event
of a sudden vehicle deceleration is also provided.
