Inventor: TOWNSEND CARL W
IPC: H01M8/18
Filed: 1993-10-11
Abstract: A rechargeable membrane flow cell battery useful for providing electrical power to electric loads. The rechargeable membrane flow cell battery includes a bipolar stack of at least two membrane flow cells (10,12) and a single fuel cell electrode pair (48,50) for converting membrane potentials generated by acidic and basic electrolyte ions to electrical potential. The ability to stack numerous membrane flow cells provides for increases in the energy density of the battery. The presence of a single electrode pair reduces activation polarisation and decreases the cost and weight of the battery. Rapid recharging is accomplished by draining spent fluid and providing fresh electrolyte fluids. Conventional recharging is accomplished by reversing the fluid flows and applying electrical power, to regenerate the electrolytes.

Abstract: A device for generating a fracture at the extremity of an optical fibre (1) includes a support (2) holding the fibre in two points and clamp (17). The clamp flexes the fibre by generating a traction effort. The clamp surface has two projections (18) separated by a concave zone. A blade (22) is then applied on the fibre from the opposite direction to the clamp. By increasing the pressure on the blade a point (25) on the fibre is submitted to maximum internal mechanical stress. This generates a fracture which propagates across the fibre normal to its axis.

Title: Electric drive for a mixing machine.
Inventor: MEYER PIO
IPC: B01F11/00
Filed: 1993-02-22
Abstract: According to the invention, the drive of an inversion-kinematic Paul Schatz-type mixing machine consists of two electric motors (11, 12) in series powered at a constant current via a shared regulator. The current which determines the torque at the spindles (4, 5) is set by an adjuster. The voltage drop across the motors determines the mean revolution speed of shafts (4, 5) which rotate differentially owing to the design of the machine. The mixing machine, which is known per se, consists of a support (1) having two bearings (2, 3) in which the two parallel shafts (4, 5) can rotate. At their upper ends the shafts (4, 5) take the form of swivel bearings (6) for two forks (7). Axis bolts for rotation (8) run through the forks (7) which are perpendicular to each other and to the respective swivel axes (6). The two axis bolts for rotation (8) are secured to a cage (9) receiving a mixing container (10).
