Abstract: A process for continuous nickel plating of an aluminum conductor, by electrolytically pre-treating the aluminum conductor to improve adherence of a nickel coat thereon by passing the aluminum conductor through a pre-treating bath in which is disposed an electrode connected to a first current source at a first voltage, for supplying to the aluminum conductor a pre-treating current, then electrolytically plating the pre-treated aluminum conductor with nickel in a plating bath in which is disposed an anode connected to a second current source at a second voltage, in which a nickel coat is deposited on the conductor by action of a nickel plating current In. At least the nickel plating current In is transmitted to the conductor through a mechanical electrical contact which contacts the conductor between the pre-treating bath and the plating bath, the pre-treating improving the contact properties of the conductor sufficient to permit the transmitting through the mechanical electrical conductor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of optimizing the operating parameters (cathode pressure and operating temperature) in a low-temperature fuel cell. The parameters are selected in such a way that on the one hand, the maximum system efficiency which can be achieved in practice is essentially attained, and on the other hand, waste heat is produced by the fuel cell so that no external heat supply is required for operation. The method relates to operation with liquid fuel. The waste heat produced by the fuel cell amounts at a maximum to half of the electrical energy produced by the fuel cell.

Abstract: A burst mode architecture to provide burst mode access to a plurality of data words in a flash memory is described. The burst mode architecture includes a first circuit, a control circuit coupled to the first circuit, and a data buffer selectively coupled to the first circuit by the control circuit. The first circuit accesses a plurality of data words, beginning with an initial access of a first data word and a second data word. The control circuit generates a timing signal having pulses and a second signal. The second signal is generated upon completion of the initial access of the first data word and the second data word. The first circuit follows the initial access with subsequent accesses of the plurality of data words responsively to the second signal and the timing signal. The data buffer has an output and produces the first data word at the output and successively produces, with each successive pulse of the timing signal following an initial period of time, the second data word, and subsequent data words at the output. The subsequent data words correspond to the subsequent accesses of the plurality of data words.

Abstract: According to the present invention; a matrix code as a data carrier for readable data, i.e. the encoded information to be stored, and a graphical structure for the chosen watermark subject are combined using conventional computers for image processing. The combination of the matrix code and the graphical structure which is the new image is reproduced as a watermark in the substrate of the security document using conventional methods for producing watermarks. A main advantage of having a matrix code embedded in a watermark background image is that the matrix code is not visible for the general public, but the data is readable by reading the watermark, extracting the matrix code from the background image and decoding the data from the matrix code. It is an important aspect of the invention that the encoded data allow the identification and/or authentication of the security document as well as the assessment of the quality of the watermark by comparing the decoded data with predetermined data. <IMAGE>
