Abstract: A significant problem in PEM fuel cell durability is in premature failure of the ion-exchange membrane and in particular by the degradation of the ion-exchange membrane by reactive hydrogen peroxide species. Such degradation can be reduced or eliminated by the presence of an additive in the anode, cathode or ion-exchange membrane. The additive may be a radical scavenger, a membrane cross-linker, a hydrogen peroxide decomposition catalyst and/or a hydrogen peroxide stabilizer. The presence of the additive in the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) may however result in reduced performance of the PEM fuel cell. Accordingly, it may be desirable to restrict the location of the additive to locations of increased susceptibility to membrane degradation such as the inlet and/or outlet regions of the MEA.

Abstract: A navigation system with resume logic and mode logic provides as an output an accurate navigation solution using multiple RF sensors. The resume logic determines which sensors are currently providing good data to the navigation system. The mode logic selects an operating mode of the navigation system and selects which data to use for calculating corrections to the navigation solution. The mode logic makes the selections based on the results of the resume logic. The resume logic continues to test data from the sensors. If a sensor that has previously provided erroneous data starts providing good data, the mode logic will automatically select that data for use in calculating the corrections to the navigation solution. The tracking of RF transmitters by the multiple RF sensors is controlled using a plurality of available inertial and non-inertial sensors.

Abstract: A method of using quaternary ammonium compounds for inhibiting attachment of and removing a broad spectrum of foodborne microbial contamination from food products. The method uses quaternary ammonium compounds for inhibiting attachment of and removing microorganisms such as, Staphylococcus, Campylobacter, Arcobacter, Listeria, Aeromonas, Bacillus, Salmonella, non-toxin-producing Escherichia, and pathogenic toxin-producing Escherichia such as O157:H7; fungi, such as Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium chrysogenum; and parasites, such as Entameba histolytica from a broad range of food. The foods that can be treated by this method are meat, seafood, vegetables, and fruit. One of the treatment methods is spraying quaternary ammonium compounds on the food products to prevent broad-spectrum foodborne microbial contamination. New formulations of quaternary ammonium compounds combined with glycerin and/or ethyl alcohol provides a concentrated formulation for industrial use and a diluted formulation for use in spraying methods.

Abstract: Method for reconditioning ducts in air conveying or processing networks, which envisages an initial step involving selection of a first duct section to be treated situated between two openings with recognition of the measurement data identifying its geometric form. Any further openings in communication with the selected duct section are then closed by means of plugs. At this point a step is performed, involving generation, by means of ventilation means, of an air flow with maximum turbulence at a constant flowrate between the two openings, followed by a step involving generation inside the air flow, by atomization means, of an aerosol consisting of a film-forming product with liquid droplets of predetermined average size, in the vicinity of an upstream section of the duct to be treated relative to the direction of movement of the air flow. The droplets containing polymer precursors are deposited on the inner surface of the duct forming a liquid film which, after a crosslinking step, results in the formation of a uniform and continuous solid coating. The measurement data identifying the geometric form of the duct to be treated are converted during a calculation step performed using a model into at least one pair of values for the flowrate and average size of the droplets, respectively. The two steps involving generation of the air flow and generation of the aerosol are therefore performed by defining the pair of values for the flowrate and average droplet size, respectively, obtained from the calculation step. With the method in question it is possible to produce remotely a continuous and uniform coating of polymer resins over all the inner surfaces of the walls of ducts of any geometric form so as to renovate the interface between the ducts and the air fluid conveyed inside them, covering the contaminating deposits.

Abstract: A motor structure resistant to liquid intrusion features two modules, the first having an electronically commutated external-rotor motor ( 20 ), which motor comprises an internal stator ( 22 ) that is arranged on a bearing tube ( 30 ) and is separated by a first air gap ( 24 ) from an external rotor ( 26; 92 ), which latter comprises a rotor cup ( 40 ) that is open at one end and is joined at its other end to a shaft ( 46 ) that is journalled in the bearing tube ( 30 ), further having a permanent-magnet arrangement ( 76 ), arranged at the open end of the rotor cup ( 40 ), for magnetic interaction with a second permanent-magnet rotor ( 92 ), forming part of the second module. The first module is separated from that second rotor ( 92 ) by a second air gap and forms therewith a magnetic coupling ( 94 ), so that a rotation of the permanent-magnet arrangement ( 76 ) brings about a rotation of that second rotor ( 92 ). A hermetic separation of the two modules is accomplished using a non-ferromagnetic separating element ( 82 ) arranged in the second air gap. The second module can safely be used to handle liquid, e.g. as a pump.

Abstract: A method for producing a confection such as chewing gum, as well as the confection so produced, incorporates a blend of physiological cooling agents, including menthyl glutarate and one or more of L-isopulegol and p-menthane-3,8-diol. In another embodiment the blend of physiological cooling agents is made in a modified release structure. The modified release/cooling agents combination is preferably obtained by physically modifying the properties of the combination of cooling agents by coating and drying. When incorporated into gum, these particles are adapted to enhance the shelf stability of the flavor and/or produce a modified release when the gum is chewed. In another embodiment, the blend of physiological cooling agent is included in a confection coating.

Abstract: In a steam cooker, for heating of a food which is a mass of granular matters or linear matters such as rice or chow mein, a steam superheater is not turned on or is turned on with a very weak electric power so that steam supplied from steam supply pipes (94A to 94C) is substantially not superheated. Steam of 80°C to 90°C derived from the steam supply pipe (94B) is jetted out right downward from an opening (111a) of a steam jet pipe (111). Then, steam located around an end portion of the steam jet pipe (111) in a tray-shaped case (51) is pulled in by steam jetted out from the opening (111a), so that a large amount of steam is jetted against a bowl of rice or a dish of chow mein. As a result, surfaces of, for example, rice grains are prevented from immediately going beyond 100°C, so that condensation at the surfaces of the rice grains is efficiently achieved, and supply of condensed latent heat and penetration of condensed water (hot water) to the rice grains is efficiently achieved.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transmission which is continually variable from an input shaft (E) to an output shaft (S), in which the input power is divided and transmitted along two parallel paths, namely a fixed ratio path and a variable ratio path, the respective speeds thereof being combined at an epicyclic output gear (7). The variable ratio path is formed by an epicyclic gear (5), a pulley variator (1, 2, 3) and an epicyclic gear (6) having two different ratios with which the brake (6.3) or coupling (6.5) is actuated. Two speed ranges (L and H) are provided at the output shaft (S). The L range passes from negative speeds to positive speeds, through a neutral point, when the variator ratio is reduced. The H range provides increasing positive speeds when the course of the variator is reversed. The passage between ranges L and H is synchronised at the point at which the speed of the intermediate shaft (5.3-6.5) is cancelled. The invention, which dispenses with the need for the standard reverse gear and clutch, can be used to obtain a wide variety of speeds for the output shaft (S).
