Abstract: The electrochemical performance of an ion-exchange membrane in a fuel cell system may be improved by impregnating therein a perfluoroamine. The amine may be primary, secondary or tertiary. Further, the amine is preferably water insoluble or only slightly water soluble. For example, the amine may be perfluorotriamylamine or perfluorotributylamine. Use of such a membrane system within a fuel cell may allow high or low temperature operation (i.e. at temperatures greater than 100°C or less than 0°C) as well as operation at low relative humidity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the passivation of the surface of an intraocular lens, the surface of which comprises reactive Bronsted sites. Conventional methods of the above type create changes on the original materi al and exhibit undesired interactions with medical adjuncts. The aim of the invention is to describe a method in which the intraocular lens is passivate d and coated in an advantageous manner and only minimal changes are brought about on the original material. Said aim is achieved, whereby the intraocula r lens is dipped in a solution of a fluoroalkylsilane of general formula RF - (CH2)n - Si - (O-R)3, where R = H, CH3, C2H5, or C3H7 and the fluoroalkyl group RF = CF3 (CF2)m where m = 3 to 11 and n = 0 to 4, whereby the Bronsted centres on the surface are deactivated by formation of Si-O bonds.

Abstract: The subject invention pertains to a method and apparatus for lightning protection. The subject method and apparatus can be utilized to provide lightning protection for a marine vessel, other structures near water, and/or land-based structures. In a specific embodiment of the subject invention, an electrode design for allowing the electric current caused by a lightning strike to be grounded to water can be employed. The subject grounding electrodes can be employed such that the electrodes are not completely immersed in the water during normal operation of the marine vessel. In a specific embodiment of the subject invention, such grounding is not in conta ct with the water at all. The specific embodiment of the subject electrode is designed to enhance sparking initiation. In a specific embodiment, the subje ct electrode is designed to be at least partially, and in some embodiments substantially, insulate from the water, such that an area of the electrode used as a spark channel is exposed. In some embodiments, even the spark channel portion is insulated. The subject invention can incorporate an electrode geometry which enhances the local electric field so as to promote a spark connection with the water when sufficient charge accumulates in the lightning protection system. The subject electrodecan then be used in place of, or in conjunction with, ground plates.

Title: Update propagation to a data warehouse with specified latency
Inventor: GUPTA SANJEEV K
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2002-06-20
Abstract: A method and system thereof for performing real time transformations of dynamically increasing databases is described. A session, identified as a real time session, is initialized. The real time session repeatedly executes a persistent (e.g., continually running) data transport pipeline of the analytic application. The data transport pipeline extracts data from a changing database, transforms the data, and writes the transformed data to storage (e.g., a data warehouse or data mart). The data transport pipeline is executed at the end of each time interval in a plurality of contiguous time intervals occurring during the real time session. The data transport pipeline remains running after it is executed, until the real time session is completed.  Accordingly, new data are transformed in a timely manner, and processing resources are not consumed by having to repeatedly re-establish (re-initialize) the data transport pipeline.

Title: Cover plate for a mobile device having a push-through dial keypad
Inventor: CHYC PAUL ROBERT
IPC: H04M1/23
Filed: 2004-07-09
Abstract: A dial keypad is provided for use with a mobile device having a keyboard. The keypad has a push-through, hinge-spring design that activates only one of two keyboard keys underlying a dial key and allows backlighting transmissivity. A translucent material can be used to allow the keyboard key backlighting to be coupled through to a top dial key. The keypad creates an aesthetically balanced dial keypad arrangement over a QWERTY keyboard. A preferable mechanical implementation allows backlighting and has an offset contact and spring design to activate one of the two underlying keys. This activation simplifies the software implementation for executing the dial number since the signal is coming from one address rather than having to make a determination of whether it is coming from one or two addresses. Moreover, the resulting dial key press has a standard single click feel.
