Abstract: In a fuel cell, a plurality of cells juxtaposed side by side to constitute together a cell layer and a plurality of cell layers thus prepared are stacked one above another to constitute together a multi-layered fuel cell assembly, In each cell layer, adjacent cells are interconnected and supported via a cell connecting plate member. This connecting plate member includes a cutout extending from one edge to the other opposite edge of the member along the entire length thereof for allowing insertion of opposed opened sides of the adjacent cells to which the inner cell flow passages are opened. The cutout has a depth substantially same as the thickness of the cell. An abutment face is defined in each end face of a pair of partition wall portions adjacent the cutout and a corresponding abutment face is defined in each closed side of the cell adjacent the opened side. As the cutout is partitioned by the opposed partition wall portions of the cutout and by a further adjacent cell connecting plate member, there is formed a connecting flow passage which interconnects the inner cell passages of the adjacent cells of the layer and which is partitioned from an inter-cell flow passage formed between the cells adjacently stacked in the assembly.

Abstract: A hydropneumatic filament-wound pressure vessel is disclosed. The vessel has first and second cup-shaped tank liners having circular open mouths which are provided with a seal and diaphragm assembly. The seal assembly includes a pocket formed by an inner wall and shelf associated with the first liner and a ledge associated with the second liner. The shelf, ledge and cylindrical wall cooperate with an inner surface of the second liner to provide an O-ring pocket. An O-ring is provided in the pocket and the O-ring defines the periphery of a flexible diaphragm which divides the interior of the liners into separate pressure chambers. A continuous filament is wound over the surface of the liners in an isotensoid pattern. Each liner has a geodesic dome surface extending between a diameter of the liner and a polar opening. The dome surface is defined by oppositely curving surfaces of revolution of a meridia joined by an inflection point. The first surface of revolution curves from the liner diameter to a first point just unto but not at said inflection point. The second surface of revolution curves from the polar opening to a second point just unto but not at said inflection point in a direction opposite the curvature of the first surface of revolution. The first and second surfaces are joined, and the inflection point is traversed by a straight line third surface of revolution closely approximating geodesic curvature through the inflection point.

Abstract: The present invention is a user process that resides in network nodes to act as an agent for the mobile terminals in PCS environments. The user process handles all negotiation and complex signaling functions for the user, thus reducing the amount of signaling traffic that must travel over the valuable air interface. To achieve low call establishment times the user process is migrated as users move. Three embodiments of mechanisms for migrating the user process are disclosed. The NAIVE approach enables the amount of data size to be transferred to be optimized, leading to low overhead. This approach also provides flexibility when migrating across heterogeneous environments. A second alternative, termed the TERN approach, is promising for cases when the program is compute intensive and asynchronous migration is essential. The last approach considered, Condor, provides high reliability in the form of checkpointing, but incurs a high migration delay and has high memory requirements for the network processors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for the production of highly pure 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene (2,6-DMN) by crytallisation of a mixture of DMN isomers; it also relates to a process for producing a 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid and an ester thereof from the 2,6-DMN obtained by the above process. 
     In a first aspect, crystallisation is carried out in the presence of a solvent, preferably or alicyclic saturated hydrocarbon. In a second aspect, suppression of the adhesion of the crystals to the inside wall of the crystalliser is achieved by a number of methods. In a third aspect, means are provided to suppress the agglomeration of the crystals. In a fourth aspect, the growth of the crystals is increased. In a fifth aspect, a filtration apparatus, preferably a rotatory vacuum filter, is used, the filtered cake is peeled off from a filter cloth, and said cloth is cleaned with a solvent. 
     Finally, the purified 2,6-DMN is oxidised in the liquid phase in order to produce 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, which can be esterified.

Abstract: A ring oscillator having an even number of differential amplifier stages is disclosed wherein each stage includes a differential amplifier using two N-channel MOSFETs (203, 204) whose gates serve as the inputs (I 1 , I 2 ) and whose drains serve as the outputs (0 1 , 0 2 ) of the stage. The sources of the two MOSFETs are connected together and to a current sink consisting of a cascoded structure of N-channel MOSFETs (205, 206). The drains of each of the two N-channel MOSFETs serving as the differential amplifier are each connected to a respective current source provided by a P-channel MOSFET (201, 202). All of the current sinks in the stages are connected as secondary legs of a first current mirror which establishes a current of I in the sinks. All of the current sources are connected as secondary legs of a second current mirror which attempts to establish a current of (1+∝)I/2 in each of the sources, where ∝ is a number greater than zero. Since an average current of only I/2 can be drawn from each of the current sources, the voltage drop across each current source is reduced, thereby limiting the range of the average common mode output voltage for each stage of the oscillator.
