Abstract: A heating and cooling device (10) generates a thermal difference using air and includes an impeller assembly (40) having a plurality of radial compartments (45), a channel (76) for air inlet, and an air outlet (56). Air drawn in through inlet channel (76) is compressed within compartment (45) by centrifugal force producing a pressure, temperature and density variation in the compartment (45) and a decrease in the entropy of the air. As the air is ejected through air outlet (56), work produced by the expansion is transferred to drive shaft (80) as torque, and entropy does not change more than the magnitude of the decrease in entropy during compression.

Title: Sealed relay device
Inventor: PERREIRA G STEPHEN
IPC: H01H1/50
Filed: 1995-03-03
Granted: 2002-06-26
Abstract: A sealed relay of the high-vacuum type, or which may be backfilled with a dielectric gas such as hydrogen-nitrogen mixture for improved arc suppression when switching high-voltage d-c currents. The relay uses controlled fixed contacts which enable use of a reduced-diameter disk-shaped movable contact. Thus permitting optimal placement of external arc-supporting permanent magnets on a ceramic relay housing in close proximity to the enclosed fixed and movable contacts. A staggered or offset positioning of the fixed contacts makes the relay polarity insensitive for bidirectional switching of high-voltage d-c currents.

Abstract: A solid oxide fuel cell stacking assembly is formed of a stack of fuel cell assemblies, manifolds to introduce the reactants to the fuel cell and carry away reaction products and unused reactants, and current collectors at the ends of the stack of assemblies. Each fuel cell assembly is formed of at least two fuel cell subassembly and an interconnect subassembly disposed between each pair of fuel cell subassemblies. The current collectors at the ends of the stack are preferably in the form of terminal subassemblies. Each subassembly includes a manifold plate, an annular plate-type bellows sealed to a through-plate opening in the manifold plate, and a central element sealed to the inner diameter of the bellows. In the case of the fuel cell assembly, the central element is multilayer fuel cell plate having an electrolyte layer sandwiched between an anode layer and a cathode layer. In the case of the interconnect assembly and the terminal assembly, the central element is a metallic plate with protrusions that make contact to the adjacent fuel cell plate. The combination of the bellows and the protrusions accommodate dimensional changes within the fuel cell.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel xylanases purified from the microorganism, Microtetraspora flexuosa. Each biochemically unique xylanase is thermostable and has optimal activity in alkaline conditions. The present invention is also directed to methods that utilize either the whole enzyme system or one or more of the above purified thermostable xylanases obtained from Microtetraspora flexuosa. These enzymes are excellent candidates for enhancing the delignification and bleaching of pulp. Furthermore, treating the pulp with the above enzymes prior to bleaching may reduce the amount of chlorine containing and/or peroxide chemicals required in the bleaching process.

Abstract: The proposal is for a process for measuring the depth of a microstructure on the transfer of the structure by means of a stamping process into a deformable layer, in which there is a geometrically simple reference grid structure in the microstructure to be transferred. This reference grid structure causes an interference of a measuring light beam. The colour distribution thus produced provides a measure of the structure depth obtained.

Abstract: Tissue paper webs useful in the manufacture of soft, absorbent products such as napkins, facial tissues, and sanitary tissues, and processes for making the webs. The tissue paper webs comprise paper-making fibers, a biodegradable quaternary ammonium compound, a polyhydroxy plasticizer, and a temporary wet strength resin. The process comprises a first step of forming an aqueous papermaking furnish from the above-mentioned components. The second and third steps in the basic process are the deposition of the papermaking furnish onto a foraminous surface such as a Fourdrinier photo-polymer wire and removal of the water from the deposited furnish. An alternate process involves the use of the furnish containing the aforementioned components in a papermaking process which will produce a pattern densified fibrous web having a relatively high bulk field of relatively low fiber density in a patterned array of spaced zones of relatively high fiber density.
