Inventor: ALLEN JEFFREY P
IPC: H01M8/02
Filed: 2000-11-16
Abstract: Selon l'invention, une plaque séparatrice bipolaire de pile à combustible, de longueur variable, est formée à partir d'une feuille de largeur déterminée. La feuille est passée à travers un outil, sur une longueur prédéterminée, permettant de former un agencement de nervures sur une partie centrale de la feuille, ce qui définit un segment sur la longueur de la feuille. Les nervures définissent un chemin d'écoulement de combustible sur un premier côté de la feuille, et un chemin d'écoulement d'oxydant sur le côté opposé. Le feuille est passée à travers un outil sur une longueur prédéterminée et les étapes de formation de l'arrangement sur la feuille et de passage de la feuille dans l'outil sont répétées jusqu'à ce que la feuille possède une longueur recherchée, auquel point elle est coupée selon la longueur attendue.

Abstract: Process for monitoring the function of a three-way catalyst in the exhaust gas channel of an IC engine comprises determining the lambda region; acquiring the size of the NOx signal and/or the value of a gradient of the NOx signal in a prescribed measuring interval within the lambda region; and comparing with threshold values and indicating damage to the catalyst on exceeding the threshold values. An Independent claim is also included for a device for monitoring the function of a three-way catalyst in the exhaust gas channel of an IC engine. Preferred Features: The lambda region comprises a stoichiometric operating point of the IC engine. During the function monitoring by a control device, a NOx signal of a NOx-sensitive measuring device and a lambda value are acquired using at least one lambda probe. A mixture composition to be burned in the direction of an actual operating point is influenced depending on the gradient of the lambda value and the NOx signal until a prescribed theoretical value for the gradient of the NOx signal is reached.

Abstract: A method of post-processing decompressed images includes identification of the
direction of an image edge in a pixel block (12) of the image (10) and filtering applied
along the boundary of the block in a direction substantially parallel to the detected
image edge (22). Pixels are selected for filtering on the basis of the quantization
parameter of the block of which they are members, the relative difference between
pixels adjacent to the block boundary, and significant changes value of pixels in a
filtering segment. Filtering is applied parallel to the detected edge (22) to protect the

Abstract: Thermoforming plastic film to produce containers with a hollow base and a double walled foot, involves turning the base inwards to form a foot and ejecting by pushing the foot over a compression edge. A plastic film section (3) is clamped between upper and lower (11) tool halves and a container formed by pressure difference. The container base (46) is then turned inwards by a sealing edge (35) which presses the base against a compression edge (31) of a film cutting punch (22) to form a foot (30). When the sealing edge is retracted a free space (B) remains between the inner face of the foot and outer face of the tool base (33). The container is then ejected from the lower part of the tool by pushing the foot over the compression edge. An Independent claim is made for a tool for thermoforming containers in plastic film which comprises an upper part (10) with compressed air feed; a lower part (11) with a cutting punch (22) having an annular compression edge; a moving tool base (33) and a sealing edge (35) which surrounds the compression edge and acts in conjunction with it; a drive unit (51) for actuating sealing edge movement.

Abstract: A plasma ashing stripping process for removing photoresist and post
etch residues comprises the addition of CHF 3  to a plasma gas composition for
forming reactive species in the plasma. The reactive species react with the
photoresist and post etch residues to form volatile and water removable
products. The addition of CHF 3  to either oxygen or oxygen-deficient plasmas
results in a more aggressive ashing chemistry than the use of traditional
fluorine gases,  i.e.,  NF 3  or CF 4  or C 2, F 6  or mixtures thereof. Significantly
increased production of HF is observed enabling faster throughputs and the
use of lower operating temperatures.

Cartoon lighting and other non-photorealistic effects can be produced by
using a lighting calculation to produce a parameter other than color or
opacity for use in a later modification of a color or opacity value. In more
detail, the example embodiment uses the lighting calculation to generate
texture coordinates used in a texture mapping operation (700a). The texture
mapping operation (700a) allows lighting computation results to select
between brush strokes for cartoon lighting and other effects. The resulting
dynamic cartoon lighting animation can be performed on a low cost
platform such as a home video game system or personal computer.

L'utilisation d'un vecteur viral fait varier la concentration de neurotrophine administrée comme partie d'une composition neurotrophique entre 10?10 et 1015¿ particules virales codant pour la neurotrophine par millilitre de composition fluide. Chaque site d'administration reçoit entre 2,5 νl et 25 νl de composition neurotrophique, administrée lentement, par exemple sur une durée dépassant 10 minutes par site d'administration. Chaque site d'administration se trouve au plus à 500 νm d'une cellule ciblée et au plus à environ 10 mm d'un autre site d'administration.

IPC: C02F1/20

Abstract: In cooling plants which work with water as both primary and secondary coolant, it is customary for use to be made of both an evaporator and a condenser which must be supplied wi5th water in the form of e.g. a spray for achieving an effective heat exchange, and out of regard for the effectiveness it is necessary for a continuous deaeration of the water to be carried out, which is effected by the sucking of air direct from the condenser, possibly supplemented with an external NCG condenser or by leading the supply water through a pre-deaerator under vacuum. With the invention it has been found possible to configure both the evaporator and the condenser with associated deaeration/pre-deaeration units in a fully integrated manner, namely by mounting a pair of sieve plates in a vacuum container for the dividing of the container into an upper supply- and distribution chamber, a centremost pre-deaeration chamber (one or more), and a bottom chamber in the form of an evaporator- and a condenser chamber respectively. From the sieve plates, the water will flow down in many thin jets, which in the deaerator chamber can be pre-deaerated by a moderate suction pressure for independent air separation, while the thin jets introduced into the bottom chamber can create effective heat exchange therein. The exchange of heat can be made additionally effective by use of a jet-breaking insert in the form of e.g. a net in the bottom chamber. The sucking of air from the condenser and from the pre-deaeration stages is arranged with stepwise air concentration units and pumps for minimizing the necessary vacuum pump capacity and energy consumption.
