a titanium nitride layer 0.1 to 200 µm in thickness
between the stainless steel separator and the carbon
material contacting therewith. Further, the present
invention is a method for producing a stainless steel
separator incorporated in the above interface structure
for a fuel cell, characterized by forming a titanium
nitride layer 0.1 to 200 µm in thickness on one or both
surfaces of a stainless steel containing, in mass,

Title: Hybrid arq for a wireless ad-hoc network and a method for using the same
Inventor: ALAPURANEN PERTTI O
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-06-04
Abstract: A system and method for data transmission incorporating a hybrid automatic repeat request (ARQ) function at each node in an ad-hoc network. Each node is configured to calculate an optimum segment size for transmission and thereafter executes the ARQ function to transmit and receive data segments with forward error correction and error detection coding. The coding allows the node to detect and locate errors within received segments and to provide an acknowledgement only after all segments are correctly received. A negative acknowledgement from the receiving node states the location of failed segments, and only failed segments are then retransmitted. The failed segments can be retransmitted in their original location and in other segment locations which contained segments that did not fail, thus reducing maximum time to successfully deliver the segments.

Abstract: A swimming pool cleaner discharges water jets under the cleaner body, directed toward its center from its sides, to agitate and lift debris toward one or more vacuum intake openings, to greatly enhance the cleaning ability of the cleaner. The suspended dirt and debris become semi-buoyant under the force of the jetted water which is preferably moving in the same direction as the cleaner, so that the relative speed between the cleaner and the suspended dirt and debris is reduced, thereby enabling the cleaner to move at a relatively faster rate and still clean with equivalent or even greater efficiency than a pool cleaner that is not equipped with directional cleaning water jets. In addition, displaced front and back orientations of the intake ports allow for longer time for any dirt and debris to be picked up.

Title: Nonthermal plasma air treatment system
Inventor: TAYLOR ROY M
IPC: B01D53/75
Filed: 2003-08-07
Abstract: A method and apparatus (10') for reducing air contamination using a contaminant adsorbent (22') to remove contaminants from air, and a nonthermal plasma (20') to desorb and oxidize or detoxify the contaminants. The adsorbent (22') may be comprised of a unique combination of a zeolite with a material having a high dielectric value. The power supply for the nonthermal plasma reactor (20') is designed to seek and operate at the system resonant frequency. In one embodiment, the adsorbent material (22') is separated from the nonthermal plasma reactor(20'). In this embodiment, heat is applied to the adsorbent material to thermally desorb contaminants during a desorption/regeneration phase. Air is recirculated within the system to move desorbed contaminants from the adsorbent material to the nonthermal plasma reactor for decomposition. The recirculating air repeatedly moves contaminants through the reactor until they are destroyed or the desorption/regeneration phase is complete.

Abstract: Selon un mode de réalisation de la présente invention, il est prévu une structure de dispositif dans lequel se produisent la charge et la décharge dans une zone de capture formée par un empilement de films qui est placé à l'arrière d'un canal mince en silicium. Le découplage des mécanismes de charge qui conduisent à la fonction de mémoire à partir du fonctionnement du transistor de grille avant permet l'échelonnement efficace de la grille avant. Mais le caractère unique de ces dispositifs est nettement plus importante : ces structures peuvent fonctionner à la fois comme un transistor et comme une mémoire. Le canal mince actif en silicium et l'oxyde avant mince fournissent la capacité d'échelonnement de la structure à des dizaines de nanomètres, et la double fonction du dispositif est obtenue par l'utilisation de deux plages de tensions qui sont clairement distinctes. A des tensions faibles la structure fonctionne comme un transistor normal, et à des tensions supérieures la structure fonctionne comme un dispositif de mémoire.
