IPC: A47J37/06
Filed: 1999-05-11
Abstract: Un gril (100) comprend une plaque chauffante (102) dont l'un des côtés forme plaque de cuisson et reçoit la nourriture à cuire. Un ensemble de chauffage (106) disposé sur la face inférieure (108)  de la plaque chauffante sert à chauffer le gril et à amener la surface de cuisson à la température requise. L'ensemble se compose d'un élément de chauffage radiant (110) et d'une cuvette (114) dans laquelle vient se loger le dit élément de chauffage. Une cavité (C) définie par la face inférieure du gril, une paroi (118) de la cuvette et la surface supérieure (122) d'un matériau isolant (120) supportant l'élément chauffant est chauffée en tous ses points à la même température, au même titre que le gril. Grâce à cette uniformité de la chaleur, la nourriture placée sur le gril est amenée rapidement à la température requise indépendamment de sa position sur le gril et est cuite uniformément de part en part.

Inventor: YOSHIMURA JOJI
IPC: H01M8/02
Filed: 1999-06-15
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a gas separator for fuel cells
obtained as a laminate of unit cells, wherein the gas separator is one
constituent of each unit cell, fuel cells using such gas separators, and a
method of manufacturing such a gas separator. The gas separator is
obtained by press molding a metal plate. The process of forming
predetermined rugged shapes in both faces of the gas separator by press
molding causes the gas separator to be distorted. The distortion of the gas
separator results in a variety of problems. 
     A gas separator (30) of the present invention has a base plate unit
(60) that is obtained by bonding two base plates (62) and (64) molded to have
predetermined rugged shapes to each other, filler units (66) that are formed
in spaces defined by the two base plates (62) and (64) corresponding to the
predetermined rugged shapes of the base plates (62) and (64), and a coat
layer(68) that is formed on surface of the base plate unit (60). In the
separator (30) of this configuration, distortions occurring in the base plates
(62) and (64) molded to have the predetermined rugged shapes are mutually
corrected by joining the two base plates (62) and (64) with each other. This
arrangement thus effectively prevents a distortion from occurring in the
separator (30). An electrically conductive material is interposed between
the pair of base plates (62) and (64) to form the filler units (66). This
enhances the electrical conductivity and the thermal conductivity of the
separator (30).

Abstract: A method of recovering from a restart procedure in a mobile switching center (MSC) in a radio telecommunications network having a home location register (HLR) that maintains subscriber profiles and a MSC that maintains temporary subscriber records associated with the subscriber profiles in the HLR. The MSC maintains the temporary subscriber records in the MSC during the restart procedure (23), and flags each temporary subscriber record in the MSC that went through the restart (24). The HLR flags each subscriber profile in the HLR that fails an attempt to update an associated temporary subscriber record in the MSC during the restart procedure (22). When an access attempt is received in the MSC that requires use of a temporary subscriber record that is flagged, the MSC requests the HLR to send any changes to the flagged temporary subscriber record (35). The HLR then determines whether the subscriber profile associated with the flagged temporary subscriber record in the MSC is flagged in the HLR (36). If the subscriber profile is not flagged, the HLR sends a message to the MSC indicating that there are no changes to the flagged temporary subscriber record (37). However, if the subscriber profile in the HLR is flagged, the HLR sends to the MSC, the changes stored in the flagged profile which then update the flagged temporary subscriber record in the MSC (39). The flagged subscriber profile and the flagged temporary record are then reset (40).
