Abstract: The present invention relates to a new sandwich
cathode design having two cathode active materials
provided on opposite sides of a current collector. The
respective active materials are similar in terms of, for
example, their rate capability, their energy density, or
some other parameter. However, one material may have an
advantage over the other in one characteristic, but is
disadvantageous in another. The cathode is built in a
sandwich configuration having a first one of the active
materials Sandwiched between two current collectors.
Then, the second active material is provided in contact
with at least the other side of one of the current
collectors, and preferably facing the anode. An
exemplary cathode has the following configuration:
MnO 2 /current collector/SVO/current collector/MnO 2 .

Abstract: Solving Means: A rear cushion unit (28) has an upper end
mounted on a swing arm (24) and a lower end coupled to
pivot brackets (13) in a position below a pivot shaft (25)
The pivot brackets (13) are independent of each other
without being coupled to each other. 
     Advantages: A fuel tank, electric parts, or other parts,
for example, can be clustered between the left and right
brackets (13) near the center of gravity of the vehicle body,
and those parts can be disposed near the center of
gravity of the vehicle body. Therefore, the maneuvering
capability of racing and off-road vehicles incorporating
such an arrangement can be increased. The vehicle frame
can be simplified in structure and can be manufactured at
a reduced cost. When the vehicle is assembled, the
distance that the worker needs to move can be reduced,
and hence the productivity of the vehicle is increased.
The size of the vehicle is reduced because of the
clustered arrangement of the parts.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for stopping a cutting operation of a plasma arc
torch is disclosed which minimizes the oxidation of the electrode to thereby extend
life of the electrode. A flow of oxidizing gas is directed through a plasma chamber
and nozzle. An electrical current is then conducted through the electrode to form a
plasma arc. The electrical current is cut no later than a time  F  for extinguishing the
plasma arc. The flow of oxidizing gas is switched off a determinable time interval
before time  F , and a flow of non-oxidizing gas is switched on no later than time  F ,
whereby the non-oxidizing gas substantially completely purges the oxidizing gas
from the torch creating an inert environment, whereby the plasma arc extinguishes
in the inert environment.

injection device with a sample of the compounds to be analyzed; transferring the
sample compounds into an analytical separation column with a transfer gas; passing a
carrier gas inside the analytical separation column for time separation of the sample
compounds; controlling the temperature of the column for achieving separation of the
sample compounds; transferring the vaporized sample compounds eluted from the
column into a flame ionization detector; providing the gases required for the
operation of the flame ionization detector, and analyzing the data output of the flame
ionization detector for analysis of the sample compounds, wherein the gases required

Abstract: A method for a frequency converter, when the frequency converter controls a
motor and operates torque-controlled partly or entirely in a field weakening region.
The method comprises the steps of defining the direction of travel and
sector of a stator flux vector (   ψ   s   ) in the motor, predicting a torque estimate
(T pred ) produced by an output voltage vector of the frequency converter at the
end of the voltage vector when a change of voltage vector occurs at the instant
of prediction, comparing the predicted torque estimate (T pred ) with a reference
torque (T ref ) of the frequency converter, and implementing the voltage vector
change when the predicted torque estimate (T pred ) is smaller than the reference
torque (T ref ) and the stator flux vector ( ψ     s   ) is moving in a positive direction of
travel or when the torque estimate (T pred ) is greater than the reference torque
(T ref ) and the stator flux vector ( ψ     s   ) is moving in a negative direction of travel.

Abstract: Metal oxide is produced by heating a metal salt of a carboxylic
acid to a predetermined temperature, which varies with a raw material,
lower than 300 °C. In the case of using zinc acetate as the raw material,
when heated in dry helium gas, it is sublimated and decomposed to
produce no zinc oxide. In contrast, when heated in a mixture gas of
nitrogen gas and water vapor with a programming rate of 5 °C/min, the
weight loss begins around 110 °C and has been completed around 230 °C,
at a water vapor partial pressure of 17.9 kPa, to produce zinc oxide.
If keeping the temperature approximately constant when the weight
loss begins, zinc oxide is produced around 115 °C with a high degree
of crystallinity. A metal may be any one of zinc, cadmium, indium
and copper. A carboxylic acid may be any one of formic acid, acetic
acid, propionic acid and 2-ethylhexanoic acid.
