Abstract: Système de communication comprenant une voie descendante (DL¿1?) servant à transmettre un signal d'indication (302) indiquant qu'un paquet de données (202) est programmé pour transmission sur une voie de données descendante (DL¿2?) d'une station primaire à une station secondaire. Pendant l'opération, à la détection du signal d'indication, cette station secondaire émet un signal d'état, par exemple, un signal d'accusé de réception négatif (204), sur une voie ascendante (UL) en direction de la station primaire immédiatement avant l'émission d'un signal d'accusé réception positif (206) ou négatif afin d'indiquer l'état du paquet de données reçu. Etant donné que la station primaire possède ainsi deux possibilités de détection de l'échec éventuel de la détection du signal d'indication par la station secondaire, il est possible de limiter la puissance maximum requise de la voie ascendante, ce qui permet de diminuer les niveaux d'interférence du système.

Abstract: Une sonde améliorée pour introduction d'échantillon, servant à produire des ions à partir de solutions d'échantillon liquide dans un électronébuliseur. Un jet de gaz émanant de l'extrémité d'un tube extérieur de gaz essentiellement en relation coaxiale avec un tube de circulation intérieur provoque la nébulisation d'un échantillon liquide émergeant de l'extrémité du tube de circulation intérieur. La sonde décrite procure un réglage relatif des positions axiales des extrémités des tubes de circulation du liquide et du gaz, sans qu'il y ait dégradation de la concentricité précise entre le tube intérieur et le tube extérieur. De plus, la partie terminale du tube extérieur de circulation du gaz peut être fabriquée soit d'un matériau conducteur, soit d'un matériau diélectrique, permettant ainsi l'optimisation distincte et indépendante de la nébulisation pneumatique et de l'électro-nébulisation. L'invention décrite procure donc une sonde d'électro-nébulisation à assistance pneumatique qui affiche stabilité mécanique et fonctionnelle améliorée, fiabilité, reproductibilité et facilité d'utilisation comparativement aux sondes selon les techniques antérieures.

Title: Process for manufacturing a fuel cell having solid oxide electrolyte
Inventor: SECCOMBE DONALD A JR
IPC: H01M8/12
Filed: 2004-09-10
Granted: 2012-01-24
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for conveniently manufacturing a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) at a cost that is less than five-hundred dollars per kilowatt of electricity. The method comprises forming an electrode layer and depositing an electrolyte material on the surface of the electrode. The formed structure is an electrode-electrolyte bi-layer. A second electrode is deposited onto this bi-layer to form a multilayer fuel cell structure comprising an electrolyte positioned between two electrodes. This multilayer structure is then heated and fired in a single thermal cycle to remove any binder materials and sinter, respectively, the fuel cell. This thermal cycle can be performed in a furnace having one or more chambers. The chamber(s) preferably contains a variable or multiple frequency microwave source for heating the cell and removing binder materials in the electrolyte and electrode structures. The chamber(s) also preferably include a convection and/or radiation source for sintering the fuel cell. In addition, the method of the invention harmonizes and minimizes the deviation among the thermophysical properties of the electrolyte and electrode structures. This harmonization reduces and minimizes the temperature gradient within the cell such that the structure can be uniformly heated and fired during the thermal cycle. The multilayer structure is also unlikely to distort and fracture by minimizing the temperature gradient in the cell. An SOFC can also be manufactured by the present method in an order of magnitude less time than standard processes.
