Title: System integration of a steam reformer and fuel cell
Inventor: CHANDRAN RAVI
IPC: H01M8/06
Filed: 2000-08-18
Abstract: A novel process and apparatus for power generation from biomass and other carbonaceous feedstocks are provided. The process integrates a pulse combust or steam reformer with a fuel cell to generate electricity such that (i) efficiencies are higher than those of conventional and emerging advanced pow er systems, and (ii) emissions are lower than those proposed by the new environmental regulations, i.e. one-tenth of the New Source Performance Standards. The pulse combustor steam reformer generates a hydrogen-rich, medium - Btu fuel gas that is electrochemically oxidized in the fuel cell to  generate electricity. The apparatus may be configured to produce only power or combined heat and power.

Inventor: YOUNG ROSA T
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2000-11-20
Abstract: A magnesium based hydrogen storage alloy powder which is useful as a hydroge n supply material for powering internal combustion engine or fuel cell vehicle s. The alloy contains greater than about 85 atomic percent magnesium, about 2-8  atomic percent nickel, about 0.5-5 atomic percent aluminum and about 2-7 atomic percent rare earth metals or mixtures of rare earth metals. The rare earth elements may be Misch metal and may predominantly contain Ce and/or La . The alloy may also contain about 0.5-5 atomic percent silicon. The alloys ca n be modified to store more than 4 wt.%, preferably more than 4.5 wt.%, most preferably more than 5 wt.% hydrogen, with a reduced hydride bond strength (i.e. about 64 kJ/mole) which allows for economic recovery of the stored hydrogen. Also, they have a plateau pressure about two times greater than pu re Mg and comparable bond energies and plateau pressures to Mg2Ni alloys, while  reducing the amount of incorporated nickel by 25-30 atomic %. This reduced nickel content greatly reduces cost of the alloy. Also, while the kinetics o f the alloy are improved over pure Mg, the storage capacity of the alloy is significantly greater than the 3.6 wt.% of Mg2Ni material.

Abstract: A mechanical connection for tubular members has a male tubular member with a distal end portion containing an O-ring. A female tubular member fits over the male member in sealing engagement with the O-ring, so that the O-ring is only radially compressed. The female member is crimped or compressed on to the male member, such that engaging ribs and grooves in the male and female members lock the members together against axial relative movement. The crimping operation does not affect the O-ring seal because the ribs and grooves are spaced axially from the O-ring seal.

Inventor: PELLETTA MASSIMO
IPC: H02K15/00
Filed: 2002-10-11
Abstract: The present invention provides increased uniformity in the forming of coils wound onto a dynam-electric machine component core by providing an apparatus having a greater number of forming pushers in the same machine core space. The present invention adopts a space saving mechanism for radially driving and retracting the pushers. Two series of pushers are alternately arranged around a central axis. The first series of pushers is capable of being driven radially outwardly and being retracted radially inwardly by the actuation mechanism, while the second series of pushers is only capable of being driven radially outwardly by that mechanism. The first and second series of pushers are provided with overlapping protrusions and recesses, respectively, which enable the radially inward retraction of the first series of pushers to provide the same radially inward retraction for the second series of pushers.
