Patent GB-2339113-A (GB)
Title: Transmitter Power Control in a TDMA Communications System
Inventor: KNUUTILA JARNO
IPC: H04B1/04
Filed: 1998-06-30
Abstract: In TDMA systems it is possible to transmit data on more than one consecutive slot per frame. This introduces increased workloads on the power amplifier of the transmitter of the mobile station. To prevent the power amplifier from overheating, temperature sensing means are incorporated into the mobile station which output to a control system comprising a comparator and feedback means which together regulate the operation of the transmitter if the power amplifier approaches or exceeds it upper rated operating value. Thereby preventing the power amplifier from damage.

Title: A processor and method for speculatively executing instructions from multiple instruction streams indicated by a branch instruction
Inventor: SHARANGPANI HARSHVARDHAN P
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 1997-06-26
Abstract: A microprocessor for efficient processing of instructions in a program flow including a conditional program flow control instruction, such as a branch instruction. The conditional program flow control instruction targets a first code section to be processed if the condition is resolved to be met, and a second code section to be processed if the condition is resolved to be not met. A fetch unit (304) fetches instructions to be processed and branch prediction logic (336) coupled to the fetch unit (304) predicts the resolution of the condition. The branch prediction logic (336) of the invention also determines whether the resolution logic is likely to be predicted accurately, resolution of the condition is unlikely to be predicted accurately. Stream management logic (314) responsive to the branch prediction logic (336) directs speculative processing of instructions from both the first and second code sections prior to resolution of the condition if the resolution of the condition is unlikely to be predicted accurately Results of properly executed instructions are then committed to architectural state in program order. In this manner, the invention reduces penalty related to mispredictions.

Title: Fuel cell and a process of using a fuel cell
Inventor: GOMEZ RODOLFO ANTONIO
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 1997-08-04
Abstract: This process of a fuel cell system consists of a separate anode cell (1) where the fuel (6) is introduced and a separate cathode cell (2) where the oxidant (23) is introduced. The fluid electrolyte is circulated between the anode cell and the cathode cell to provide ion transport for the process while an independent set of electrodes (5, 22) immersed in the anode fluid and in the cathode fluid and joined externally by an electrical conductor (31), provide the electronic circuit. This fuel system avoids the need for diaphragms or porous electrodes between the anode and the cathode sections of fuel cells for faster reactions rates.
Patent GB-2336937-A (GB)
Title: Stack assembly primarily for an electrochemical cell
Inventor: DONG ZUOMIN
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 1999-04-30
Abstract: A fuel cell stack assembly comprises an aligned series of multifunction strata (panels) 12 alternating with and interposed between a mating series of electrochemically active strata. In a proton exchange membrane (PEM)-type fuel cell stack, the electrochemically active fuel cell strata include membrane electrode assembly (MEA) strata. The multi-function panels provide structural integrity and electric circuit continuity within the stack. Each multi-function stratum comprises an open spring conductive layer 34, such as an undulate or corrugated layer, sandwiched between a pair of relatively rigid conductive layer 32,36 that isolate the open spring layer from the reactant gases. The layers of the multi-function stratum together constitute a distributed spring array exerting a compressive force acting in the stack dimension, each open spring layer bearing compressively against the rigid conductive sheets between which it is sandwiched. This distributed spring array facilitates the maintenance of dimensional integrity within the stack, permitting an external manifold to be provided for the supply and exhaust of reactant gases to and from the stack. The spaces provided between the open spring elements serve as conduits for cooling air, so that cooling air may flow over the corrugations to cool the stack. A simple economical frame structure and associated cover plates and separator bars for the fuel cell stack form and enclose separate plena for the supply and exhaust of reactant gases for the fuel cells in the stack.

Title: Semi-permeable membranes with an internal discriminating region
Inventor: EDGAR S SANDERS JR
IPC: C08G64/10
Filed: 1988-10-06
Abstract: The invention is a semi-permeable membrane which comprises a polymeric matrix with two porous surfaces and a region which functions to separate one or more gases from one or more other gases. A composition is disclosed that is useful for the preparation of a bisphenol-based polycarbonate membrane wherein at least 25 percent by weight of the bisphenol moieties are tetrahalogenated, preferably Cl or Br. The composition includes (i) a bisphenol-based polycarbonate wherein at least 25 percent by weight of the bisphenol moieties are tetrahalogenated, wherein the halogen is Cl or Br, (ii) a solvent for such polycarbonate, and (iii) a non-solvent for such polycarbonate. A process is described wherein the composition is heated and extruded into a shape suitable for membrane use such as a hollow fiber. The formed membrane is then passed through a quench zone wherein the mixture undergoes phase separation, and the solvent non-solvent are removed and a discriminating region capable of separating oxygen from nitrogen is formed. The membranes of this invention exhibit excellent separation factors and flux. Such membranes are less prone to being damaged due to handling and exposure to contaminants due to the internal region which affects the separation, as the porous surfaces function to protect such region.
