Patent EP-1291951-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HATOH KAZUHITO
IPC: H01M8/24
Filed: 2002-09-10
Abstract: End plates of a fuel cell
are conventionally made by cutting metal plates. Therefore,
they have problems in that it is difficult to reduce their
cost, and they are inconveniently heavy, and they are
likely to be corroded by supplied gases and cooling water
since they contact such gases and water at inside surfaces of
manifold holes of the metal end plates. 
     According to the present invention, the end plates
are made of a resin-dominant material, more preferably by
injection-molding such material, so that it becomes possible
to reduce the cost and weight of the end plates, and the
corrosion resistance can be greatly improved by insert-molding
the current collecting plates in
such a manner that the end plate material extends into
a manifold hole of each
current collecting plate.

application employed over a telephone system is disclosed. The system
comprises an input signal, wherein the input signal includes both speech input
and non-speech input of a type generated by a user via a manually operated
device. The system further comprises a constraint module operable to access an
information database containing information suitable for use with speech
recognition, and to generate candidate information based on the non-speech
input and the information database, wherein the candidate information
corresponds to a portion of the information. The system further comprises a
speech recognition module operable to recognize speech based on the speech
input and the candidate information. In an exemplary embodiment, the manually
operated device is a touch-tone telephone keypad, and the information database
is a lexicon encoded according to classes defined by the keys of the keypad.

Abstract: In a method of obtaining an extended dynamic range panorama of a
scene from a plurality of limited dynamic range images captured by an image
sensor in a digital camera, a plurality of digital images comprising image pixels of
the scene are captured from a plurality of positions by exposing the image sensor
to light transmitted from the scene, wherein light transmittance upon the image
sensor is adjustable. Each image is evaluated after it is captured for an
illumination level exceeding the limited dynamic range of the image for at least
some of the image pixels. Based on the evaluation of each image exceeding the
limited dynamic range, the light transmittance upon the image sensor is adjusted
in order to obtain a subsequent digital image having a different scene brightness
range. The plurality of digital images are stored, and subsequently the stored
digital images are processed to generate a plurality of composite images, each
having an extended dynamic range greater than any of the digital images by
themselves. The plurality of composite images are used in producing an extended
range panorama. In addition, light attenuation data may be stored with the images
for subsequent reconstruction of higher bit-depth panorama than the original
panorama.
