Abstract: Solutions of hexachloroplatinic acid and ruthenium chloride are added to a support material suspension. pH of the suspension is increased to 6.5-10 by adding an alkaline solution to precipitate sparingly soluble noble metal compounds. Organic carboxylic acid(s) and/or their salts are added to the suspension, and precipitated noble metal compounds are reduced to form a supported platinum-ruthenium catalyst. A support material is suspended in water to form a suspension. The suspension is heated at most up to solution boiling point. Solutions of hexachloroplatinic acid and ruthenium chloride are added to suspension while maintaining the same temperature and stirring. pH of the suspension is increased to 6.5-10 by adding an alkaline solution to precipitate hexachloroplatinic acid and ruthenium chloride in form of sparingly soluble noble metal compounds. Organic carboxylic acid(s) and/or their salts are added to the suspension, and precipitated noble metal compounds are reduced by adding reducing agents to form a supported platinum-ruthenium catalyst on a powdered support material. The catalyst is washed and dried. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) preparation of an unsupported platinum-ruthenium catalyst which involves heating solution comprising hexachloroplatinic acid and ruthenium chloride to a maximum of solutions boiling point. pH of the solution is increased to 6.5-10 by adding an alkaline solution to precipitate hexachloroplatinic acid and ruthenium chloride in form of sparingly soluble noble metal compounds, adding organic carboxylic acid(s) and/or their salts, reducing precipitated noble metal compounds by adding reducing agents to form the catalyst, washing and drying; (2) supported platinum-ruthenium catalyst; (3) unsupported platinum-ruthenium catalyst; (4) a membrane electrode assembly for fuel cells comprising the catalyst; and (5) method for using the catalyst in polymer electrolyte membrane or direct methanol fuel cells.

Abstract: The panel (3) support (2) has two parallel L-shaped sides (5) joined at their farther ends by crossplates (6) to make a welded frame. One leg (21) of the support (2) adjoins the building structure (4) and is screwed to this (4) by a screw led between the two side parts (5). The legs (21,22) of the support differ in length, the longer leg (22) joined to the building. The panel (3) rests on support (2) face surface (7), with the support reaching into recess (8) in the panel (3). The support face (7) is at an angle and slopes down towards the building (4). Adjuster screw (10) changes the horizontal space between support and panel, with the screw head lying in the panel recess (8).

Abstract: A dry shaver (11) has a single cutter blade (15)
and a single cooperating shear blade (17). The shear
blade (17) is an elongate flexible foil, the thickness of
which is different at different regions (21, 22) along
the elongate extent of the foil (17). The foil (17) is
mounted (27) for displacement in its elongate direction
so that a foil region (21, 22) of a particular thickness
may be selectively aligned with the cutter blade (15).
The spacing between a skin engaging surface of the shear
blade (17) and the opposite face of the shear blade (17)
which cooperates with the cutter blade (15) is thus
selectively variable. 
     In a further embodiment, the dry shaver is of the
rotary type and has a plurality of interchangeable shear
blades of different thicknesses. In a still further
embodiment, a rotary dry shaver has a mechanism for varying
the spacing between the outer surface of a cover member
overlying a shear blade and a cooperating rotary cutter
blade.

Abstract: A plasma display panel (PDP) driving method is disclosed for a PDP in which a
plurality of discharge cells are arranged between a pair of substrates (11,12), the
method repeating a number of steps to perform image display. One of the steps is
a set-up step for applying a set-up pulse to each of the plurality of discharge cells
to accumulate charge in each discharge cell. The set-up pulse is a staircase
waveform which either rises or falls in at least two steps. For a rising waveform,
the voltage jump for the first-step rise is no less than V f -70V but no greater than
V f , where V f  is a discharge voltage. For a falling waveform, the ratio of a first-step
voltage fall (V 1 ) to a peak voltage (V st ) is no less than 0.05:1 and no more
than 0.8:1 and the ratio of (a) a time (t p ) form the end of the first-step fall to the
start of the second step-fall to (b) pulse width (t w ) being no less than 0.05:1 and no
more than 0.6:1.

Abstract: A gaming machine has a set of symbol-bearing reels (204), preferably
simulated, which display multiple combinations (207) of symbols (205).
If, following a reel spinning operation, one or more of these
combinations is a predetermined winning combination, and the location of
the winning combination has been previously selected by the player, the
player is granted an award. There is a further symbol-bearing reel (226)
and the player is given the opportunity to select a symbol (227) on that
further reel. If, following a reel spinning operation, the selected
symbol is aligned with a winning combination of symbols of the other
reels, the player is granted an award. At least two games can be played
using the further reel, the games having different restrictions on the
amounts permitted to be staked. Separate money-receiving means are
provided for placing the stakes on the respective games. The machine may
have multiple terminals each operable by a respective player
independently of the operations carried out by the other players.

IPC: B65D1/00

Abstract: During injection molding of a thin-wall plastic product (40), such as a drink cup,
the formation of void-based irregularities is prevented in a thin-wall portion (42) of the
product formed within a zone (25, 26, 27) of a thin-wall cavity section (20) that is located
between adjoining flow chambers (21), in which zone the thickness of the thin-wall
cavity section increases in the general direction of flow within the flow chambers
adjoining such zone. Such void-based irregularity formation is prevented by
dimensioning the mold cavity (48) so that the thickness increases in such direction at less
than a threshold rate. The flow chambers do not extend to a rim portion (28) of the thin-wall
cavity section; and the respective inscribed-sphere dimensions of the adjoining flow
chambers within a terminal zone (27) of the thin-wall cavity section adjacent a rim
portion of the mold cavity are less than the respective inscribed-sphere dimensions of
upstream portions of the adjoining flow chambers.

Abstract: This method controls a copper density in a dip solder bath holding a molten solder alloy containing at least copper as an essential composition thereof during a dip soldering step of one of a printed circuit board with a surfaced copper foil and a component part having a copper lead attached thereto. The method includes a step of introducing a replenished solder containing no copper at all or a copper content having a density lower than that of the molten solder in the bath prior to the supply of the replenished solder to the bath so that the copper density in the bath is controlled to a predetermined constant density or lower. The molten solder alloy in the bath contains tin, copper and nickel as the major compositions thereof, and the replenished solder contains nickel and balanced tin, for example. Alternatively, the molten solder alloy in the bath contains tin, copper, and silver as the major components thereof, and the replenished solder contains silver and balanced tin. The copper density of the molten solder in the bath is controlled to less than 0.85 weight % at a solder temperature of about 255° C.

Abstract: A cooling apparatus using "low profile extrusions" is disclosed. The cooling apparatus of the present invention may be incorporated into a closed loop liquid cooling system which is particularly well suited to heat removal from electronic components in applications where space is limited. A cooling system in accordance with the present invention is illustrated for use in a typical wireless telecommunication base station for removing heat from power amplifiers and other electronic components. Cooling is carried out by drawing heat away from the electronic components and into at least one low profile extrusion attached directly to the heat generating components or a heat sink, and transferring the removed heat to a cooling fluid circulating through a plurality of micro tubes or channels within each low profile extrusion. The cooling fluid is subsequently pumped through a liquid-to-air heat exchanger, to reject the removed heat into the atmosphere, prior to being recirculated through each of the low profile extrusions.
