Abstract: Fabrication methods for catalyst coated membranes are provided. The methods include exposing a micro-porous membrane to a catalyst dispersing solution to form a catalyst containing micro-porous membrane. The methods also include exposing the catalyst containing micro-porous membrane to a resin dispersing solution to form a catalyst layer and placing a proton exchange membrane between two of the catalyst layers with a laminating process to form the catalyst coated membrane. The fabrication methods provide filling process to uniformly fill the catalysts and resin throughout the pores of the micro-porous membranes in the catalyst layers. These micro-porous membranes are hydrophobic and easily discharge water when necessary. Therefore, membrane electrode assemblies with catalyst coated membranes fabricated using the provided methods are stable and perform well during fuel cell operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to an enclosure (1) with a substantial rectangular configuration, adapted to contain an apparatus (10) sensitive to acoustic vibrations, the enclosure comprising walls (2,5,6,7,8) and acoustic damping material located within the wall, wherein the acoustic damping material comprises at least one absorbing body (11) of acoustic energy absorbing material located adjacent to a rib of the enclosure.  The acoustic vibrations most disturbing the processes in the apparatus (10) within the enclosure are caused by standing acoustic waves within the enclosure with frequencies in the range between 50 Hz and 1000 Hz. These acoustic waves are efficiently damped by the provision of a block of acoustic absorbing material (11) adjacent to one of the ribs of the enclosure, to such an extent that the need for thick walls of the enclosure is substantially obviated, leading to a less voluminous enclosure.

Abstract: A process for separating from each other heavy metals and an ash agglomerate in the form of individual granules or pellets having substrate properties. Environmentally acceptable metal chlorides and, if appropriate, fillers are mixed with the ash in a first step and the resulting mixture is subjected to agglomeration and/or compaction or conversion into particles. The agglomerate obtained in this way is heated to a temperature above the boiling point of the heavy metal chlorides. The resulting gaseous heavy metal chlorides are separated from the agglomerate. The remaining porous ash agglomerate is depleted in heavy metals and can be used as fertilizer in an original, milled or regranulated particle form.

Abstract: A sealing device for a tubing arrangement, preferably for use in an offshore facility, such as an offshore wind turbine or an oil rig. The tubing arrangement has a cable or an inner tube arranged in an interior part thereof. The sealing device comprises a substantially rigid housing and a flexible plug part arranged in an interior part of the housing. The housing is mountable on or forms part of the tubing arrangement in such a manner that the interior part of the housing communicates with the interior part of the tubing arrangement. The flexible plug part comprises an inlet opening connectable to a grout source. When grout material is supplied to the flexible plug part, the flexible plug part expands, thereby providing sealing between the housing and a cable or inner tube arranged in the interior of the tubing arrangement. The sealing device can be mounted on the tubing arrangement before the tubing arrangement is mounted on an offshore facility, and the grout material can be supplied at a later time. Use of divers is thereby minimized. The sealing device can easily be removed and replaced.

Abstract: A method of providing QoS to a session from a client to a first network includes providing data packets from the client to be conveyed in a session from the client to a first network, inserting each of the data packets into an encapsulating packet, and transmitting the encapsulating packets through the second network to the first network, forming a tunnel through the second network. The method includes receiving the encapsulating packets at a terminating device in the first network. The terminating device removes the encapsulating headers to recover the data packets. The method includes determining an association between the packet headers of the data packets and the encapsulating headers, identifying data packets requiring QoS, and using the association to identify encapsulating packets corresponding data packets requiring Quality of Service. The method includes applying QoS to the encapsulating packets, corresponding to the session of data packets requiring the QoS, being conveyed through the tunnel.
