Title: Open electric circuits optimized in supercritical fluids that coexist with non supercritical fluid thin films to synthesis nano-sclae products and energy production
Inventor: ZORNES DAVID A
IPC: H01M8/18
Filed: 2006-10-12
Abstract: Fuel cell elements: fuel, product, membrane, cathode and anode are operated within supercritical fluids (SCFs) to increase electrical and chemical-reaction efficiencies magnitudes more than prior art operating below the critical point of gas, liquids, and solids. Within vessel (4), cylinder (8) of vessel (3) is a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) dual-function reversible or unitized regenerative fuel cell (URFC) system. Rod (11) and rod (14) are electrically connected to the cathode and anode inside the vessels through separate circuits formed from electrically insulated vacuum seals (1) and (2). SCF has nearly 100 percent solvent penetration into the PEM membrane and acts as a single miscible fluid formed from multiple fluid species (including xenon) improving the rate of water decomposition (process water) when in the electrolyzer mode, and when reversed into the fuel cell mode, a higher rate of electricity is produced, a higher rate of electricity is produced across the membrane during power generation. Injector bores (12) and (15) can inject fuel into the SCF. Xenon gas with a high rate of polarization strings the electrical potential from the PEM circuit elements through the three dimensional suspension of xenon to the product or fuel. PEM membranes and SCFs are phosphorus-doped (N-type) on top of a thicker layer of boron-doped membrane, enabling photovoltaic and thermoelectric functions. Only photons whose energy is equal to or greater than the band gap of solar cell material can kick an electron up into the conduction band. Prior art photovoltaic response of single junction cells is limited to the portion of the sun's spectrum whose energy is above the band gap of the absorbing material, which means lower- energy photons are not used.  Without solar cell circuit gaps, xenon absorbs all of the sun's photon spectrum passing through an outer transparent vessel (4).  Thermoelectric energy is captured by decomposing water suspended in multiple SCFs tuned with co-solvents that are heat reactive.

Abstract: A multipurpose brush has an ergonomically formed, substantially plate-shaped and elastically deformable brush body (10) with a substantially flat top side (12) and a substantially flat bottom side (11) and curved side edges (13). Elastic, substantially conical grooming elements (20) are arranged at the bottom side (11). At the top side (12) of the brush body (10) there are tooth-like combing elements (30). The grooming elements serve to deeply treat the fur of an animal to be brushed and the combing elements serve to comb out and smooth the fur. Design and arrangement of the grooming and combing elements are chosen such that grooming and combing effects of different strengths result depending on the direction in which the brush is passed over the fur. The brush can also be used as clothes brush or for upholstered furniture or carpets.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of installing livestock ear tags are provided. The apparatus includes handle members that control the insertion of a piercing needle that cuts an opening through an animal's ear. A slidable head assembly enables efficient manipulation of the piercing needle and reload of a new piercing needle for installing another tag. The piercing needle has attached to it a securing tab of the ear tag. The tab is stripped from the piercing needle after the needle clears the far side of the ear thereby securing the tag to the ear by placing the tab on the opposite side of the ear. The piercing needle is preferably disposable. The piercing needle has an integral tissue capturing cavity for capturing a slug of tissue from the animal's ear as the needle passes through the ear. The tissue sample can be used for subsequent animal health testing. The piercing needle is automatically captured by the tool after installation to prevent contamination of the tissue sample by release of the needle onto the ground. Another embodiment uses a tag with an integral needle, and the tag is installed in the same manner by the tool.

Abstract: A set of accounts usable for cashless transactions are electronically linked together. The accounts in the set may be associated with different accountholders, issuers, fmancial institutions, transaction handlers, or combinations thereof. A stakeholder sets up rules that govern, in part, processing of cashless transactions upon the ac-counts in the set. The rules alter routing of the cashless transaction from one account to another in the set. Loyalty features are determined accordingly. In one implementation, the rule alters the routing of the cashless transaction to optimize a loyalty feature. Amounts spent in transactions upon the accounts in the account set may be tracked, analyzed or reported on to create targeted offers. Fulfillment of the targeted offers may be conditioned on validating that the actual spend upon the accounts in the set match a predetermined threshold.
