Patent CA-2431221-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TOWLER GAVIN P
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2001-12-05
Abstract: Hydrogen generation and fuel cell operation are integrated through the use of a fuel processor (104) or hydrogen generation zone which comprises a pre-reforming zone, a partial oxidation zone, a reforming zone, a water gas shift zone and a preferential oxidation zone. According to the present invention, an oxygen-enriched stream (14, 16) is provided to the fuel processor (104) and to the fuel cell (106) from the adsorption effluent (12) withdrawn from an adsorption zone (101). The oxygen-enriched stream is depleted in nitrogen which improved the efficiency of the fuel processor and the fuel cell by reducing nitrogen dilution. A further advantage resulted in fuel processor/fuel cell systems which burn the anode waste gas (20) in a combustion zone (108) to provide heat to the fuel processor zone. By diluting the anode waste gas with an oxygen-reduced gas (24), it is possible to maintain the combustion temperature in the convection range and reduce or eliminate the amount of excess air employed in the combustion zone.

Title: Digital signal transmitter synchronization system
Inventor: WEISS S MERRILL
IPC: H04N21/61
Filed: 2002-03-29
Abstract: Methods for synchronizing a plurality of RF transmitters (20) that are supplied with a common digital information signal for carrier modulation and subsequent transmission a common channel throughout a prescribed region, whereby digital signal receivers within the region receive transmissions on the channel from more than one transmitter (20). The method involves inserting reference signals into the data sent to transmitters in order to place them into known states at specific times relative to the digital signals sent to them for transmission. The digital signals transmitted by each transmitters will be identical to one another so that the receivers are identical to one another so that the receivers can identify one received signal as a main signal and the others as echoes. The signal transmitted by at least one of synchronized transmitters is delayed, such that identical digital signals received from at least two of the transmitters by receivers in the region arrive at each receiver within a prescribed time window.
