Date Jul. 31, 1997The invention relates to a fluid-cooled fuel cell, in which the cell surfaces are supplied with reaction media via axial supply ducts and radial distribution ducts, the distribution ducts being located in the cell surface and running along the edge of the cell surface, with the open side toward the active surface. According to the invention, the supply and distribution ducts in a fuel-cell stack are arranged such that distribution ducts are arranged in the edge region of the cell surfaces, as a result of stacking and staggering, in such a way that the inlet of the medium to the cell surface along a distribution duct is not carried out in a point-like manner, and that the entire cell surface is uniformly supplied with medium.

Patent JP-H11503542-A (JP)
IPC: G06F13/24
Filed: 1996-03-25
Abstract: All binary signals (B1...Bn) are supplied to separate preswitching modules (MB1...MBn) that may be switched by processor (MP) in an application-specific manner, so that they generate an interrupt signal (IR1...IRn) that interrupts normal running of the processor (MP) program when an active state of the corresponding binary signal (B1...Bn) occurs or so that they generate a status signal (ST1...STn) acquired by the processor during normal program running. The processor preferably has a register (RIR) for interrupt signal (IR1...IRn) and a register (RST) for status signals (ST1...STn). When an interrupt signal occurs (IRn), normal running of the processor program is interrupted, the content of the register for interrupt signals is read and first reinitialisation signal (RMI) for the preswitching modules that were switched to generate interrupt signals is generated. The content of the register for status signals is read during normal running of the processor program and a second reinitialisation signal (RMS) for the preswitching modules that were switched to generate status signals is generated. Because of its modus bit control, the invention has universal applications both for interrupt binary signals that require a fast reaction and for status binary signals with a low order of processing priority.

IPC: F15B15/14
Filed: 1998-04-28
Abstract: The hydraulic or pneumatic drive for lifting and lowering loads, in particular for lifts, has a working cylinder (11) forming a pressure chamber (14) connected to a pressure fluid source (39) and subjected to a pressure fluid. It also has a lifting piston (1) tightly guided in the working cylinder and a guide rod (15) arranged in the working cylinder. The guide rod (15) projects into the interior of the lifting piston (1) which tightly encloses the guide rod (15). The end (4) of the lifting piston (1) which projects into the pressure chamber (14) forms an annular face (5) which is subjected to pressure fluid. The interior of the lifting piston (1) forms an additional pressure chamber (7) subjected to pressure fluid and which is connected to its own pressure fluid source (40). The pressure fluid source connected to the working cylinder (11) delivers pressure fluid at a substantially constant pressure, whereas the pressure fluid source (40) connected to the additional pressure chamber (7) delivers pressure fluid at a variable pressure. The additional pressure chamber (7), subjected to pressure fluid, subdivides the total force needed to lift a load into two partial forces, one of which acts upon the annular face and the other in the interior of the lifting piston, close under the load. In this way, the partial force acting upon the entire length of the lifting piston and subjecting the piston to buckling is substantially reduced. It is thus possible to reduce the amount of material required without affecting buckling resistance.

Title: Locating position of a rectilinear feature by scanning article with a camera
Inventor: MORRISON B R
IPC: G05D3/12
Filed: 1988-04-21
Abstract: A high resolution CCD video camera (6) is positioned and aligned with respect to an illuminated article (7) so that a straight edge of the article, or a straight line junction between a bright zone and a dark zone of its surface, crosses the field of view of the camera in a direction substantially parallel to the rows of the camera's orthogonal array of rows and columns of light responsive elements,to divide that field of view into bright and dark zones. A frame store and digitiser (9) converts the individual signals generated by the elements into digital grey values. The grey values derived from the elements of each row are summed by a computer (10) to produce a linear array of summation values positionally related to the respective columns, and the computer then determines the position of the edge or junction to a sub-column spacing accuracy by determining the mean value of two of the summation values selected respectively from a row receiving energy from the bright zone and one receiving energy from the dark zone and establishing a position in the array for the mean value, and thus for the feature, by interpolating the mean value between the two summation values immediately above and below it in magnitude.

Title: Slot machine game with hidden prize
Inventor: BENNET NICHOLAS LUKE
IPC: A63F3/00
Filed: 1997-08-28
Abstract: The specification describes a slot machine with a prize display (12), a coin entry slot (13), a payout tray (14) and internally mounted game control processor circuits. The game display (11) comprises a video display screen (11) controlled to display a game image divided into a matrix of elements or player selectable zones. The video screen has an array of touch sensitive areas located on its display surface with one such area associated with each matrix element (40-48). The player selects one of the matrix elements (e.g. 44) by touching the screen within the area of the respective element to be selected, thereby causing the image in the element to change to reveal the associated prize value. Additional player controls are implemented by displaying images (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23), corresponding to controls on the screen such that when the control images are touched, the associated function is caused to be performed. In the event that the player wins the game, by aligning three of the selected zones in a straight line, the machine will pay him a prize equivalent to the sum of the prizes displayed in the zones selected by the player multiplied by the number of units bet, if appropriate.
