Abstract: A grinding machine is designed as a multi-station grinding machine, which has two complete grinding stations. The grinding stations have grinding heads, which can be moved by means of appropriate positioning devices, for example compound table arrangements, and/or pivot tables, in relation to the saw blade. Positioning devices and arresting devices for the workpiece are furthermore parts of the grinding stations. The workpiece support is used for positioning the saw blades to the extent that their center axis is to be fixed in the grinding. The rotation of the saw blades around this center axis M, and the clamping in place of the saw blade in the respective rotated position for performing the grinding operation is the task of the respective units in the grinding stations. A very rapid and precise, and therefore cost-effective, processing of saw blades is possible by means of a grinding machine designed in this way. The grinding machine is particularly suited for sharpening saw blades in the course of their manufacture.

IPC: F17C5/04

Abstract: When pressure containers are filled with a cold gas (cold filling), the gas is quickly warmed up due to he contact of the cold gas with the warm container inner wall, thereby quickly increasing the pressure in the interior of the container already in an early phase of the filling process. Only a small portion of the heat of the filling gas can then be used after the filling process to increase the filling pressure in the container. The inventive pressure container is characterized in that the inner surface thereof is coated with a material with a low heat transition coefficient, thereby delaying heating up of the filling gas. A considerable portion of the pressure increase caused by the heating up of the filling gas thus takes place only subsequent to the actual filling process and can be utilized to build up the maximum filling pressure. The invention thus provides a rapid and economical means for filling pressure containers, especially high pressure and extremely high pressure containers.

Abstract: An electrolyte for a fuel cell includes an electrolyte body (105), a plurality of microstructures (110) formed into or extending out of the electrolyte body 105, and thin film layers (118) formed on the electrolyte body (105). A microstructure (110) possesses a depth or a height and includes one or more sidewalls (111) and a bottom surface (113). A sidewall (111) of the microstructure (110) advantageously creates a significant unobstructed diffusion area, wherein protons may travel laterally into or out of the electrolyte body (105). Therefore, when a proton is generated by the interaction of the fuel with a thin film catalyst layer (118), the proton may travel laterally only a short distance in order to enter or exit the electrolyte body (105), thereby improving the performance of the fuel cell.

Abstract: Methods and systems for digitally generating sound from phase and amplitude information of a narrow bandwidth signal, such as a narrow bandwidth locator signal. Phase-derivative information is determined from the phase information. The bandwidth of the phase-derivative information is spread out, or stretched, over a wider bandwidth, so that the frequency variations will be more perceptible to users. The result is combined with an audio band carrier frequency, the result of which controls an oscillator. The oscillator output is combined with the amplitude information to generate an analog audio signal that is modulated with the amplitude information and the phase-derivative information. The amplitude information wider bandwidth phase-derivative information are used to modulate an audio carrier in both frequency and amplitude. The overall process can be thought of as a translation of the frequency and amplitude information from the narrow bandwidth around the locate frequency to a wider bandwidth on a chosen carrier frequency in the audio band. The received amplitude and phase information is received at an input sample rate. Where the input sample rate is relatively low, the amplitude and phase information are up-sampled to an output sample rate that is higher than a desired audio frequency. The higher output sample rate insures that there are sufficient samples of the signal during each cycle or period of the audio frequency. The higher sample rate is typically also the sample rate of a digital to analog converter that outputs an analog signal to a speaker. The amplitude information and/or phase derivative information are optionally scaled to system gain. The sound heard by the operator can optionally be adjusted with an optional selectivity filter.
