Abstract: A non-contacting type radio frequency recognizing credit card system is disclosed. In the conventional credit card system, the card recognition is carried out by contactingly inserting a credit card (40) into a card reader which is connected to a card managing company. Therefore, the card may be damaged, and the card recognition time is extended. The non-contacting type radio frequency recognizing credit card system according to the present invention includes: an RF card (40) for being activated by receiving radio frequency from a card terminal (70) so as to transmit its own card number to the card terminal through a radio frequency; the card terminal radiating a radio frequency to induce an electric generation in the RF card, and the card terminal transmitting a card number data (received through a radio frequency) to a wire-connected terminal computer (80); and the terminal computer reading the card number data from the card terminal to make an inquiry into a black list, to make a decision for issuing an approval of a transaction or a denying of the transaction, and to transmit the result of the decision to the card terminal.

Abstract: A fluidized bed assembly, such as an ash cooler, includes first and second fluidized bed chambers each having a bottom portion and side walls. Fluidizing gas is introduced into the bottom portions to fluidize particulates within the chambers. A flow equalizer (such as a barrier having a number of openings associated with it) separates the chambers and provides a substantial uniform flow of particulates from the first chamber to the second chamber so that no dead spots or corners form in the chambers adjacent the flow equalizer. Heat exchanger components are typically provided in the barrier for circulating heat exchange fluid through the barrier. Also, heat exchangers are provided in one or both of the chambers to cool the particulates. The particulates mix in the second chamber, and after cooling may be recirculated to a gasifier/combustor for supplying ash to the first chamber. A classifier chamber is connected between the reactor and the first chamber. Fluidizing gas may be returned from the chambers to the reactor.

Abstract: A redox flow battery composed of a plurality of cells in electrical series defined by a stacked and repetitive arrangement of a conductive intercell separator having a generally bipolar function, a positive electrode, an ion exchange membrane, a negative electrode and another conductive intercell separator, is operated by flowing a positive half-cell electrolyte containing reducible and oxidizable ions of a first redox couple through the compartments containing the positive electrodes and a negative half-cell electrolyte containing reducible and oxidizable ions of a second redox couple through the compartments containing the negative electrodes in cascade in a counter or equi-current mode. The difference of cell voltage between the first and the last cell of the stack is sensibly reduced and by-pass currents are substantially eliminated thus resulting in an increased overall faradic efficiency. A cell stack architecture provided with ducting for implementing the two counter current cascaded flows of the positive and negative electrolytes is described. The alternated used of cationic and anionic membranes compensate for unbalanced water transport through the membranes.

Abstract: A discontinuous phase element (86, 204) is disposed between the reflector (20, 23) elements of an optical resonator in order to suppress unwanted modes propagating within the cavity, and to preferentially allow the existence of preferred modes within the cavity. The discontinuous phase element (204) operates by producing sharp changes in the phase distribution of the undesirable modes, so that their propagation losses are sufficiently high prevent their build-up. This is achieved by introducing a discontinuous phase change to these modes at locations where they have high intensity. At the same time, the desired modes suffer 0 or 2pi phase change, or have low intensity at the discontinuity, and so are unaffected by the discontinuous phase element. Such elements can be used in a single element or a double element configuration, and can be used in passive cavities or active cavities, such as lasers. In addition to being able to improve the output beam quality of a laser by encouraging output of the lowest order mode beam, they can also be used to improve the maximum power output of solid state lasers by encouraging the output of specific higher order mode beams, without limiting dynamic range of the laser. They can also be used to compensate for birefringence distortion in the gain medium.

Abstract: Human myelin basic protein (h-MBP) has a molecular weight of 18.5 KD and contains 170 amino acid residues. Synthetic peptides ranging in length from about 8 to 25 residues and covering the entire length of the protein have been produced. Antibodies to h-MBP (anti-MBP) were found to be neutralized by the synthetic peptides, in vitro, which span the h-MBP from about amino acid residue 61 to about amino acid residue 106. The peptides, which cover both the amino (about residues 1 to 63) and carboxy (about residues 117 to 162) terminals of h-MBP did not neutralize purified anti-MBP. Intrathecal administration of peptide MBP(75-95), MBP(86-95), or MBP(82-98) produced complete binding-neutralization of free (F) anti-MBP with no change in bound (B) levels. A control peptide MBP(35-58) had no effect on (F) or (B) anti-MBP levels. Intravenous administration of MBP(75-95), MBP(86-95), or MBP(82-98) resulted in significant decline of (F) and (B) CSF anti-MBP levels. Administration of MBP synthetic peptides to MS patients either intrathecally or intravenously did not have any adverse neurological effects and systemic complications did not occur. The MBP epitope for MS anti-MBP has been localized to an area between Pro86 and Pro95.

Abstract: A backup energy unit for an electrical device having a power source, an operational load, and containing a layered electrical device having a top exterior surface and a bottom exterior surface, such as an integrated chip or layered circuit board. The energy unit is made up of at least one energy storage device. This energy storage device is made up of a dielectric material and a first and a second electrical storage conducting layer. The dielectric material lies between the first and second electrical storage conducting layers. Further, the dielectric material exists between the top exterior surface and bottom exterior surface of the layered electrical device. The energy unit is further made up of a voltage detector to detect a potential level of the power source. When the voltage detector detects a power source disruption, that is when the potential level of the power source is below a first voltage state, it controls a switcher. This switcher disconnects the power source from the operational load and connects the energy storage device to the operational load when the voltage detector detects a power source disruption. Thus, when the power source is disrupted, the energy storage device provides electrical power to the operational load.
