Abstract: In a fuel cell system including a solid state polymer type fuel cell, the wet state of the electrolyte film of the fuel cell stack is judged according to the irregularities of the AC impedance of the fuel cell stack. For example, when the moisture amount of the electrolyte film is appropriate, the value of the AC impedance is almost constant and has small irregularities. Moreover, when the moisture amount of the electrolyte film is too much, the value of the AC impedance changes greatly. It should be noted that the AC impedance of the fuel cell stack is measured by analyzing the frequency of the high-frequency noise generated from the inverter arranged in the fuel cell system.

Abstract: A proof mass (22) suspended in a cavity (31) in a housing (24) moves along a sensing axis in response to linear acceleration. Elastic support members (32-35) connected between the proof mass (22) and the housing (24) exert a reaction force on the proof mass (22) in response to displacement of the proof mass (22) along the sensing axis. An optical fiber (16) is connected between the proof mass (22) and the housing (24) such that displacement of the proof mass (22) along the sensing axis elongates a first portion (13) of the optical fiber (16) and shortens another portion (15). A pair of fiber optic Bragg grating (12, 14) formed in the optical fiber (16) are arranged to reflect an optical signal guided by the optical fiber (16). Acceleration of the proof mass (22) modulates the wavelength of the reflected optical signal such that the acceleration may be determined.

Patent CA-2607799-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PASCOE STEVE
IPC: G01N33/536
Filed: 2006-05-08
Abstract: We have found that when an antibody binds to (captures) its specific ligand, the antibody-ligand complex is redirected to a route of elimination which is different from that which occurs naturally for the specific ligand that is not bound to an antibody. As a consequence, the amount of antibody-bound ligand in the blood increases over time. The increase in total ligand concentration is a property that is specific to the patient to whom the antibody is administered.  Accordingly, the invention provides a method for diagnosing disease in a subject and a method for identifying the most appropriate treatment for a particular patient. Patients who produce more ligand, and thus more antibody-ligand complex, may be more likely to have a disease which is predominantly driven by that ligand. These patients should respond better to a therapy targeted against that ligand. The better understanding of the underlying malfunctions in disease biology provided by the methods of the invention, in respect of the rates of production of natural ligands in health and disease, provides a logical and targeted selection of the appropriate treatments to address specific biological abnormalities.

Abstract: The invention relates to aerohydrodynamics. The inventive method for reducing the aerodynamic noise generated by the separation a medium stream flowing around a structural element surface during the relative motion thereof consists in forming a low-curvature area consisting of at least one continuous section on at least one part of the structural element surface operating beyond the medium stream separation line and in orienting said structural element with respect to the medium stream in such a way that a normal line direction to the structural element surface is close or coincides with the vector velocity direction of the medium stream on the entire or the major part of said area surface. According to the second variant of the method said low-curvature is not formed at the production stage but is determined on the structural element surface of an existing structure using the features of the shape thereof. A low-noise structural element produced by the inventive method is also disclosed. Said device also can be developed in such a way that it makes it possible to optimise the use thereof in particular application cases.

Abstract: A multicapillary bundle for use in a gas chromatograph. Each of the capillaries in the bundle is formed using a coating solution containing a stationary phase and a solvent. The capillaries are coated with stationary phase by reducing pressure at a vacuum end of the capillary and creating a moving interface between the coating solution and a film of stationary phase deposited on each of the capillaries. The reducing pressure at the vacuum end of the capillary and the temperature of the capillary are controlled to maintain motion of the moving interface away from the vacuum end of the capillary. Maintained movement of the interface prevents recoating of the stationary phase. A heating wire and capillaries are embedded in a thermally conductive polymer to create a highly responsive method of heating the multicapillary column. An electronic control device controls the feedback temperature of the multicapillary column using the heating wire.
