IPC: H01M8/2425
Filed: 1992-02-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a soild-electrolyte fuel cell. To improve the air electrode, which is normally the cathode side, it is proposed to construct said air electrode in two layers, a first air electrode layer (16) applied to the solid electrolyte (7) being of thin construction and made of porous cathode material, while the second air electrode layer (17) is of relatively thick construction and is made of material having good electrical conductivity. The second air electrode layer (17) is structured to form conductor tracks (18) and gaps (19), thereby ensuring access of air to the first air electrode layer (16). The invention can be used in high-temperature fuel cell batteries. The sole figure of the drawing is significant. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates an oligonucleotide probe reagent consisting of a nylon membrane with a high density of anionic carboxyl groups to which membrane at least one oligonucleotide probe containing a 5' amine is covalently bound via an amide bond and to a method for attachment of the oligonucleotide probe to the nylon membrane. The single, 5' end attachment of the oligonucleotides to the membrane surface leaves the probe free to interact with complementary sequences, thus increasing the hybridization efficiency relative to probes attached by methods in which heat or ultraviolet light is used for immobilization. The simplicity and reproducibility of this method and the sensitivity attained when using the reagents produced by the method are ideal for application of the method and reagents to the diagnosis of infectious and genetic diseases, the analysis of mutations in neoplasias, performance of HLA typing, and other areas.

Abstract: The present invention provides an injection stretch blow molding process which can form a hollow article having a thick-walled bottom wall by regulating the bottom region (18) of an injection molded preform (10) to a temperature lower than that of a barrel preform portion (16) at a blow molding station. In the process, a bulged portion (80) formed on the distal end of a stretching rod (70) and regulated in temperature is brought into contact with the inner bottom and adjacent side walls of the preform which correspond to the bottom region of the hollow article to be formed into an increased wall thickness, before start of a biaxially stretch blow molding step wherein the preform having a potential heat provided in the injection molding step is biaxially stretched to form the hollow article. The region of the preform contacting the bulged end portion has a temperature lower than another region of the preform non-contacting the bulged end portion.

Abstract: Method and device for the computer-assisted processing of data graphically recorded on a tachograph chart, the chart being scanned optically and the optical signal obtained being converted into a digital signal corresponding to the scanned graphical data. The chart is scanned according to a dot pattern encompassing, wholly or partly, at least the recording surface of said chart, a digital representation being formed of the scanned dots and being stored in a memory for further processing. A starting point for the interpretation of the stored digital representation is found by determining the relative memory position of a reference representation. In addition to optical-scanning and conversion means, the device comprises a slide mechanism for supporting a chart which is to be scanned, and can be incorporated in a standard rack of a personal computer.

Abstract: A digital phase-locked loop exhibits a change-over switch (1) which is switched to squarewave signals of different frequency, and which is followed by a main divider (5) which forms the output signal of the phase-locked loop, the change-over switch being operated in dependence on this output signal and on the input signal. The following is provided in order to obtain as symmetrically as possible a lock-in of the phase-locked loop and capture and lock-in range:   - that the change-over switch is switched over between a first squarewave signal with the frequency f1, a second squarewave signal with the second frequency f2 and a third squarewave signal with the frequency f3, the following holding true:  f1 . 1/D = fE and k . f1 = f2 + (k-1) . f3, - that f2 > f3 holds true for the circuit to lock in on the front edges of the pulses of the input signal and f2 < f3 holds true for the back edges, - and that a switch-over logic (6) is provided which controls the change-over switch (1) in such a manner that it switches to the signal with the first frequency f1 in the period between two pulses of the output signal, and that it switches to the signal with the second frequency f2 during a pulse of the output signal and a first state of the input signal, and that it is switched to the signal with the third frequency f3 during a pulse of the output signal and a second state of the input signal.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The skew angle of a sheet (39) (e.g., business form or other document) is detected by providing two sensors (40, 40') spaced from each other a known distance along a straight line perpendicular to the direction (A) of conveyance of the sheet. If there is a skew, the distance travelled by the sheet leading edge (44) between sensings by the sensors is determined, and the skew angle calculated from its tangent. First and second independent drive rollers (35, 36) under the sheet are driven in opposite directions of rotation to compensate for the skew angle. The rollers preferably act in conjunction with a controller (42) (computer) to not only reorient the sheet to compensate for the skew, but also to rotate the document through a significant angle (e.g., 90 o ) to give the sheet a second orientation different from its initial orientation (e.g., from portrait to landscape).

Abstract: In order to determine the flow parameters of a three-phase fluid which e.g. in a hydrocarbon producing well, may be constituted for example by a continuous water phase together with discontinuous phases of oil and of gas in the form of bubbles, a local sonde (40a) is used for identifying the phases present. The sonde (40a) comprises two sensors (42a, 44) which are responsive to different physical properties of the fluid and which are situated at substantially the same point, in such a manner as to provide a different set of signals for each of the phases. The sensors may comprise, in particular a radiofrequency sensor and an optical sensor disposed coaxially therewith at the end of a coaxial cable (42a) whose core comprises a metal-coated optical fiber (44).

Abstract: Procédé de changement d'outils dans une machine à poinçonner, permettant de changer les outils de poinçonnage (11a, 11b, ...) sans être perturbé par le jeu. On détermine si une commande de changement d'outil (commande T) est produite ou non (S1). Si la commande est produite, on détermine si un arbre C (3), qui est un arbre de commande d'une machine à poinçonner, est susceptible d'être commandé et tourné (S2). Lorsque l'arbre C (3) est sous contrôle, on le fait tourner dans une direction de rotation déterminée d'avance par un paramètre pour qu'il revienne à la position mécanique d'origine (40) (S3), et l'on effectue le changement d'outils (S4 - S6). Lorsque la commande T n'est pas produite au point (S1) susmentionné, un programme est complété. En outre, lorsque l'arbre C n'est pas sous contrôle et se trouve dans la position d'origine, le changement d'outils est effectué dans l'état. Ainsi, l'arbre C (3) tourne toujours dans une seule et même direction prédéterminée et revient à la position mécanique d'origine. Par conséquent, on maintient toujours identiques les conditions d'engrènement lorsque l'arbre C (3) revient à la position mécanique d'origine (40) et s'y arrête. Grâce à ce procédé, on égalise le jeu de l'engrenage, de manière à pouvoir effectuer le changement d'outils sans avoir à compenser le jeu.
