Abstract: An elastic-thermoplastic graft polymer prepared by a multi-stage free radical polymerization is described. The elastic-thermoplastic graft polymer is prepared by polymerizing (i) one or more monomers containing vinyl groups, and (ii) at least one molecular weight regulating compound, in the presence of (iii) at least one rubber in latex form. The ratio of monomers (M) to the molecular weight regulating compound (MWR) is altered throughout the various stages of the polymerization method. The M:MWR ratio is: from 50:1 to 400:1 in the first stage; from 100:1 to 800:1 in the second stage; and from 200:1 to 2000:1 in the third stage of the polymerization. In at least one further reaction stage of the polymerization, the monomers, in the absence of the molecular weight regulating compound, are polymerized in the presence of the rubber. This further reaction stage occurs before the first stage and/or after the third stage of the polymerization. The multi-stage polymerization is conducted such that: M:MWR (first stage)<=M:MWR (second stage)<M:MWR (third stage). Also described are compositions comprising the elastic-thermoplastic graft polymer, and shaped articles prepared from such compositions.

Abstract: Provided is a self-cooling beverage container. The self-cooling beverage container includes a refrigerant vessel provided inside the beverage container and having a refrigerant valve configured to exhaust an internal refrigerant outside, an evaporator tubing having one end connected to the refrigerant valve and the other end led to the outside of a container body to allow evaporation of the refrigerant exhausted through the refrigerant valve and to remove an evaporation heat for the refrigerant from the beverage to cool the beverage, and a refrigerant valve actuator configured to actuate the refrigerant valve, if necessary. Since evaporation occurs directly at an evaporator tubing contacting a beverage inside the container through a wide area, superb beverage cooling efficiency can be achieved. Also, a lid member can be opened by pulling a handle or lightly touching or pressing a convex portion, that is, the self-cooling beverage container can be easily manipulated.

Abstract: A pulse-width modulation technique uses a counter load value that alternates between a duty-cycle defining value and its complement. In one embodiment, a pulse-width modulated signal is produced as a function of a control signal used to reload the counter in response to the counter reaching an overflow threshold value. This approach includes storing the counter load value and counting relative to a logic circuit output value which corresponds to either the load value or its complement. The counting is reinitiated using the logic circuit output in response to the counter reaching an overflow threshold value. A specific example application of the above type of PWM approach is directed to implementation in otherwise conventional up/down digital counters such as exists in 80C51-type microcontrollers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel cell comprising a proton-conducting solid electrolyte, for operating in an average temperature range (200-600  DEG C). According to the invention, composites containing ammonium polyphosphate (APP-K) are used as the electrolyte in the fuel cell. The ammonium polyphosphate which forms the composites is a proton-conducting material which is embedded in the pores of a porous matrix, and said matrix can consist of proton-conducting material itself. Said ammonium polyphosphate (APP) consists of NH>4<PO>3<-HPO>3<, or [NH>4<PO>3<]>x< [SiO>2<]>y<, or [NH>4<PO>3<]>x< [GeO>2<]>y<, or [NH>4<PO>3<]>x< [Al(PO>3<)>3<]>y<. The porous matrix, in which the APP is embedded, consists either of thermostable non-woven polymers, glass fibres, or porous, inorganic materials. The operation of fuel cells in said temperature range offers the advantage that the anode catalyst is considerably more tolerant towards carbon monoxide or is even insensitive from ca. 300  DEG C towards the same, and material problems which occur in high temperature ranges are insignificant. Furthermore, the electrode kinetics are significantly increased in comparison with low temperature ranges. Using a suitable catalyst, reformed hydrogen, methanol and superior alcohols can thus be directly reacted in said fuel cell without any loss of power. Not only can costs be reduced, but also especially the power curve of the fuel cell can be improved, and the system can be significantly simplified.
