Abstract: An energy management system (502) for use with off-highway vehicles, including locomotives, that traverse a known course. A processor (506) determines power storage and transfer parameters, including data indicative of present and future track profile information. The energy management system (502) controls the storage and regeneration of electrical energy. A hybrid energy locomotive system has an energy storage and regeneration system (204). In one form, the system can be retrofitted into existing locomotives or installed as original equipment. The energy storage and regeneration system (204) captures dynamic braking energy, excess motor energy, and or externally supplied energy. The captured energy is stored in an energy storage system such as a battery (902), a flywheel system (906), or a capacitor system. The energy storage and regeneration system can be located in a separate energy tender vehicle (202). The separate energy tender vehicle (202) is optionally equipped with traction motors (208).

Abstract: A method for producing a platinum material reinforced with dispersed oxide, which comprises adding powdered platinum into water to prepare a platinum suspension, admixing the platinum dispersion with a zirconium nitrate soluti on and a urea solution, adjusting the mixed solution to a predetermined pH valu e to precipitate zirconium hydroxide, thereby forming a platinum carrying zirconium hydroxide, preparing a formed product from the platinum carrying zirconium hydroxide, subjecting the formed product to a sintering treatment and a forging treatment under conditions wherein the secondary recrystallization of platinum crystals proceeds, to form a platinum ingot, a nd subjecting the platinum ingot to a cold rolling treatment at a rolling reduction of 70 % or more, followed by a recrystallization heat-treatment. T he method allows more fine dispersion of zirconium oxide into a platinum materi al and thus the production of a platinum material reinforced with dispersed oxi de having improved creep strength characteristics.

Title: Fuel cell plates and assemblies
Inventor: BLACK SHANE CARVER
IPC: H01M8/2465
Filed: 2002-05-03
Granted: 2003-12-23
Abstract: A fuel cell plate comprises a basic plate generally adaptable to be used, for a flow of a fluid, as a cathode. The basic plate has essentially a trapezoidal top view, delimitated by a pair of longitudinal margins, and a long and short transversal margins and is provided with inlet and outlet apertures, the former being disposed parallel and close to the long transversal margin, while the latter is disposed close to the short transversal margin. The basic plate also incorporates a continuous wall, spaced from the pair of longitudinal margins and the long and short transversal margins, and extending upwardly from a top of the basic plate, the continuous wall circumscribing a flow field divided into a multiplicity of channels. Cross-sections of the flow field of the basic plate, open to the flow of fluid entering through the inlet apertures, then flowing throughout the channels and exiting through the outlet apertures, continuously diminish, so that, accordingly, velocities of the fluid continuously increase.

Abstract: Bath-dyeable and bath-dyed filaments and methods have a core and a sheath which entirely surrounds the core. The core is formed of a core polymer which is susceptible to dyeing by a bath dye chemical, while the sheath is formed of a sheath polymer which is resistant to dyeing by the bath dye chemical. When the filament is brought into contact with a dye bath containing the dye chemical, the dye chemical in the dye bath will be physically transported through said sheath polymer to cause the core polymer to be dyed a color of the dye chemical, while the sheath polymer is substantially undyed thereby.

Abstract: Apparatus for separating solids from flue gas in a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler comprises plural vertical, impact type particle separators located within the CFB in a plurality of staggered rows, The impact type particle separators employ hung elements supported from fluid-cooled tubes which form a collecting channel, typically U-shaped, which separates particles from flue gases conveyed across the particle separators. By separating the support function from the collection shape required by functional performance considerations, the strength requirements of the material used to form the collection shape are reduced and the strength of the material from which the fluid-cooled support is made is much higher due to the lower operating temperature of the material comprising the fluid-cooled support, thereby permitting the use of lower cost materials.

Abstract: An anti-aliasing system provides anti-aliasing at the edges of objects in a displayed or printed image without video artifacts or the need for an expensive anti--aliasing buffer. As geometric data is rasterized, the rasterizer identifies pixels on the edge of objects in the image being rendered. These pixels are then rendered at a higher resolution with a number of sub-pixels. The Z-buffer is signaled as to which pixels will require the additional, higher resolution data. The Z-buffer then dynamically allocates memory space in an additional memory unit to hold that additional sub-pixel data. A  memory offset or address is provided in the Z-buffer to direct the memory controller to the appropriate address in the additional memory unit when the data in the additional memory unit is being blended to produce the data defining the corresponding main pixel which data is then stored in the Z-buffer.

Abstract: A gaming machine displays multiple game outcome presentations to one or more players playing the gaming machine. A player may initiate a new game on the gaming machine while the outcome of a previous game is being presented to the player. For a number of different games, two or more game outcomes may be presented simultaneously to the player on the gaming machine. The game outcome presentations for two or more of the games may appear to interact. However, the game outcomes determined by the gaming machine are independent of one another and do not depend on the game outcome presentation.   Many different combinations of games may be played simultaneously on the gaming machine.
