Abstract: Nach Abschalten einer Brennstoffzellenanlage (41) besteht die Gefahr, daß Restsauerstoff in den Brennstoffzellen der Brenn-stoffzellenanlage (41) verbleibt. Dieser Restsauerstoff führt zu unerwünschten Oxidationen, die Leistung und Lebensdauer der Brennstoffzellenanlage (41) erheblich beschränken. Es wird eine Brennstoffzellenanlage (41) angegeben, bei der der an die Anoden (3a, 23a, 44a) der Brennstoffzellen angrenzende Anodengasraum (7b, 51a) mindestens doppelt so groß ist wie der an die Kathoden (3b, 23b, 44b) der Brennstoffzellen an-grenzende Kathodengasraum (7b, 51b). Hierdurch wird gewähr-leistet, daß nach Abschalten der Brennstoffzellenanlage (41) genügend Wasserstoff in den Brennstoffzellen vorhanden ist, um den gesamten Sauerstoff innerhalb der Brennstoffzellen zur elektrochemischen Reaktion zu bringen.

IPC: H04N1/107
Filed: 2001-04-05
Abstract: A system and method are disclosed which provide a look-down digital imaging device
300 capable of capturing relatively high resolution digital images (e.g., comparable to
traditional flatbed scanners). A preferred embodiment provides a look-down digital imaging
device comprising a linear sensor 306 for imaging a raster line 314 of an original image 316
placed substantially below the look-down digital imaging device, and a lens 308 for focusing
reflected light from the original to such linear sensor. The linear sensor functions much as in
traditional flatbed scanners in that it captures a single, congruent digital image of a scanned
original. Most preferably, the linear sensor is a high resolution sensor that enables a digital
image to be captured having resolution comparable to that of traditional flatbed scanners. For
instance, the linear sensor preferably enables capture of a digital image having a resolution no
less than approximately 300 dpi. As a result, such linear sensor most preferably captures a
digital image having sufficient resolution to permit optical character recognition operations to
be performed on such captured image. In a most preferred embodiment, the look-down
digital imaging device further comprises a digital video camera 312 for capturing video data
of a target scan area. Such video data may be fed in substantially real-time to a display
(either included within the look-down digital imaging device or included on a device to
which the look-down digital imaging device is coupled), which may aid a user in properly
aligning an original within the target scan area.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus of optically detecting
morphological change of an organism specimen such as an animal/plant cell. In
a candidate compound screening for detecting a candidate compound among
compounds, a camera of a microscope apparatus takes images of an organism
specimen in a plate before and after a dosage of each compound-containing
solution to the organism specimen by a dispensing head. An image processor
processes the taken microscopic images and provides numerical data as a
quantitative indicator of a state of the organism specimen. The screening
apparatus judges whether each compound solved in each solution is the
candidate compound by comparing numerical data before and after the dosage of
the solution with each other.

Abstract: A vibration isolator wherein an inner and an outer cylindrical fittings are
connected by a rubber elastomer between both fittings; in the rubber
elastomer above and below the inner cylindrical fitting, hollow spaces are

lateral portions as support arms of the rubber elastomer between the hollow
spaces support the inner cylindrical fitting to the outer cylindrical fitting. In
order to lower the dynamic spring rate in the lateral direction square to the

vibration-isolating characteristics in the vertical direction and without
deteriorating the durability, it is characterized in that small vacancies are
provided in the lateral portions at a distant position inboard from the outer

Abstract: In an ink jet printing apparatus that performs

processing liquid or substances insolubilized by it
has on the ejection performance of the ink head or
processing liquid head is reduced. The distance

paper 103 carried by the belt 111 is set larger than
the head-to-paper distances of other heads 101Bk, 101C,
101M, 101Y. As a result, the mist generated by the
ejection of the processing liquid from the head 101S
diffuses in a recessed space formed by the heads 101Bk
and 101C on both sides of the head 101S and thus
hardly reaches the ink nozzle surfaces of these heads
