Patent EP-0509064-A4 (EP)
IPC: H01M12/06
Filed: 1991-07-24
Abstract: A portable, direct current electric generator uses a salt water solution as an electrolyte. An outer housing in the form of an open-topped, rectangular box is provided, and an inner housing having a compartment for receiving the salt water electrolyte is placed within the outer housing. A space is provided between at least one of the walls of the inner housing and a wall of the outer housing, and provision is made to supply air to this space. The inner housing member has an aperture in the side facing the air space, and an air cathode member is secured in this aperture. The air cathode member is air-permeable, but is impervious to water on the side facing the air space. A metal anode, preferably made of magnesuim, aluminum, or a magnesium-aluminum alloy, is removably secured to a removable cover placed over the open top of the inner and outer housing members to extend into the salt water solution within the inner housing member. Electrical connections are provided for connecting a load between the cathode and the anode. When the anode is consumed, it is removed from the cover and replaced with a new anode.

Abstract: On ajoute un sel d'hydroxyde composite de formule générale [Al2(Li(1-x).Mx)(OH)6]nA-n)1+x.mH2O (dans laquelle A est un anion inorganique ou organique; M représente Mg et/ou Zn; n est la valence de l'anion A; m vaut 0 ou un nombre positif; et x est un nombre supérieur ou égal à 0,01 et inférieur à 1), en tant que stabilisateur, dans une résine contenant de l'halogène. Ce sel d'hydroxyde présente une structure similaire à celle d'un sel d'hydroxyde composite de lithium et d'aluminium, dans lequel une partie des ions lithium pénétrant dans les sites vacants de la couche octaédrique d'hydroxyde d'aluminium de la structure de gibbsite est remplacée par des ions Mg et/ou Zn, ce qui permet de produire une résine contenant de l'halogène subissant une décoloration initiale faible. De plus, étant donné qu'une partie des ions lithium monovalents est remplacée par des ions métal divalents, ledit sel d'hydroxyde contient une quantité accrue d'anions compensant la charge électrique et permettant d'obtenir des caractéristiques de stabilisation à la chaleur supérieures à celles d'un sel d'hydroxyde composite d'aluminium et de lithium.

Title: Freezing point meter and freezing point measuring method
Inventor: NAGASAWA YASUSHI
IPC: G01N21/43
Filed: 1997-07-02
Abstract: A novel method for measuring a deposit point is provided, which makes it possible to quickly and accurately measure a cloud point. A test sample is irradiated at an angle of incidence θ with an incoming light beam which satisfies an expression θ < θ2 while gradually cooling the test sample such as gas oil, and a totally reflected light beam from the test sample is detected for every temperature, provided that θ2 represents a critical angle of total reflection of a deposit such as a paraffin component deposited when the test sample is cooled. The deposit point of the test sample is determined from change in intensity of the totally reflected light beam with respect to the change in temperature. The light intensity distributions detected by a sensor array at respective temperatures are statistically processed to more accurately determine the deposit point. It is possible to use a total reflection type sensor having a waveguide structure formed with a light-incoming optical path and a light-emitting optical path. CCD is used as a detector. <IMAGE>

IPC: H04W4/16
Filed: 1998-10-22
Abstract: An interactive directory provided for a workstation having a connected video monitor and adapted for network access has an interactive display for displaying status for individual entities, being persons and organizations. Entities are listed in the display along with status for each entity. There may be multiple fields for status, and some fields display telephone numbers and/or IP addresses for Internet telephones, while others may provide alphanumeric display. A remote access contact address is stored and associated with each directory entity, and when the directory is active, the workstation accesses status information from network sources associated with individual directory listings. Status for entities in the directory is therefore updated in real time as the directory is used. In some embodiments multiple graphic indicia, such as underlining, shading, font choice and the like are used to provide status indication in various fields of the interactive display. In some embodiments alpha-numeric status is provided as well. In other embodiments telephone calls, including Internet telephone calls, may be placed by interactive input to the directory.
