Abstract: A fuel cell system 1 comprises a fuel cell stack 10, an evaporator 21, a reforming device 22, a supercharger 23, an offgas heating device 24, and a catalytic combustion chamber 25. Offgas exhausted from the fuel cell stack 10 is burnt in the catalytic combustion chamber 25, and the burnt offgas is introduced to the evaporator 21 to be heat exchanged with a reforming raw fuel and reforming air. The burnt offgas cooled by means of the heat exchange is introduced to the offgas heating device 24, to be used as a heat source for heating the offgas exhausted from the fuel cell stack 10. The offgas can be heated by the burnt offgas, and the moisture in the offgas can be vaporized and introduced to the catalytic combustion chamber 25. As a result, a reduction in the quantity of generated heat of the catalytic combustion chamber can be prevented in the fuel cell system.

Title: Dynamic semantic control of a speech recognition system
Inventor: BARNARD ETIENNE
IPC: G10L15/18
Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: The speech recognition system recognizes speech and generates one or more wo rd strings, each of which is a hypothesis of the speech, and creates and stores  a probability value (210) or score for each of the word strings. The speech recognition system also creates and stores, for each of the word strings, on e or more keyword-value pairs (213) that represent semantic elements and semantic values of the semantic elements for the speech that was spoken. One  or more dynamic semantic rules are defined that specify how a probability value of a word string should be modified based on the information about external conditions, facts, or the environment of the application in relatio n to the semantic values of the word string (214). The dynamic semantic rules are applied to word strings and keyword-value pairs (214). The speech recognizer modifies one or more probability values, re-orders the word strin gs (216), and returns control to the application.

Title: Reusable analyte sensor site
Inventor: MASTROTOTARO JOHN J
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2000-05-15
Abstract: A reusable analyte sensor site (10) for use with a replaceable analyte senso r (100) for determining a level of an analyte includes a site housing (12). Preferably, the site housing material is formed to have an interior cavity (14) with an opening and a conduit (16) that is connected to the opening of the interior cavity (14) to provide access to the interior cavity (14). The site housing material is selected to promote tissue ingrowth and vasuclarization, and yet be free of tissue ingress. Also, the site housing material permits the analyte to pass through the site housing material to th e interior cavity (14) to permit measurement by the replaceable analyte sensor  (100). In addition, the conduit (16) has a predetermined length to inhibit trauma and encapsulation of tissue occurring at the conduit (16), which is associated with placing the replaceable analyte sensor (100) in the interior  cavity (14) of the site housing (12), from interfering with the tissue ingrowth and vascularization surrounding the interior cavity of the site housing material.

Title: Method for producing ethylene homo- and copolymers by intensively mixing a reactive reaction component with a mobile flow medium
Inventor: MAHLING FRANK-OLAF
IPC: C08F10/00
Filed: 2000-06-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing ethylene homo- and copolymer s by means of radical polymerisation, in a tubular reactor at pressures greate r than 1000 bar and at temperatures of 120 to 350 ~C. Initially small quantiti es of radical chain starters are supplied to a mobile flow medium containing ethylene, mol mass regulators and optionally, polyethylene. The polymerisati on then takes place. According to the invention, the mobile flow medium is firs t separated into two volume elements that flow separately from each other. The se separately flowing volume elements are then caused to rotate in opposite directions using suitable flow elements. The flowing volume elements, now rotating in opposite directions, are reunited to form one mobile flow medium  and it is at the moment when they are reunited or just afterwards that the radical chain starter is supplied to the sheared border area between the flowing volume elements rotating in opposite directions. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out this method.

Title: Multichannel cochlear implant with neural response telemetry
Inventor: ZIERHOFER CLEMENS M
IPC: A61N1/36
Filed: 2000-07-21
Abstract: A circuit and method for cochlear implant telemetry where digital data is encoded into an RF signal. The RF signal is applied via a rectifier diode to a first switch matrix S1 and a second switch matrix S2, with S1 being coupled to a first sampling capacitor C1 and S2 being coupled to a second sampling capacitor C2. A local oscillator signal with period T is applied that controls S1 and S2, cyclically coupling C1 and C2 to the RF signal, a first input to a comparator, and ground. The comparator compares the first input to a DC reference voltage. The output of the comparator is then sampled via a flip flop clocked by the local oscillator, with the flip flop outputting a data bit stream representative of the envelope of the RF signal having encoded information.

Abstract: In modern day print presses a registration mark is used to monitor paper moving throughout the press. Each print impression is controlled and divided by each registration mark. The registration mark usually appears in the form of a dot or dash one sixteenth to one eighteenth of an inch long. Digitrak is an invention the controls print cutoff. It uses two inputs inorder to accomplish this. The first is a photoeye that monitors the pace of the registration mark on the Web Web- A series of continuous uncut impressions produced by the press. The second is an encoder that is attached to a rotary cutter. Information from these two inputs is processed by Digitrak. By comparing these two inputs Digitrak determines the position of the rotary cutter. If the web mark position is incorrect Digitrak will drive a stepper motor to correct the web mark position. The stepper motor is connected to the web feed roller.  The motor will now move the web feed roller in order to compensate for error either by advancing or retarding the web loop to the accurately correct position.
