Abstract: Bipolar plates (10) and end plates (11) for fuel cell stacks (22). The bipolar
plates (10) or end plates (11) may includesemiconducting, graphitic or metallic
bodies, intricate features with close tolerances such as narrow flow channels (36, 38)
and conduits (50) with complex flow paths, integral resistive heating elements (56),
internal catalytic reforming capability (15), integral heat exchanging structure,
substantially flat and undistorted contact faces (14, 16), integral sensors (17), and
internal recuperative heat exchanging capacity (23). 
     Methods of making bipolar plates (10) and end plates (11) for fuel cell stacks
(22). The methods involve a range of integrated processing techniques that enable a
flexible approach to bipolar plate (10) and end plate (11) design. In addition, the
ability to reliably produce features on a small scale allows for the potential
miniaturization of bipolarplates (10) and end plates (11) and is therefore ideally
suited to further the development of small scale portable fuel cell systems.

Abstract: A vehicle-mounted device communication controller
includes a vehicle-mounted unit for communicating with ID-registered
portable units, a switch-detection mechanism for
detecting pressing of an operation knob, a switch-operation
restriction mechanism for restricting the rotation of the
knob, and a door-opening/closure detection mechanism for
detecting opening and closure of a door. Signals are
exchanged between the vehicle-mounted unit and each portable
unit, and a portable unit having succeeded in exchanging the
signals is authenticated and released from the restriction.
The vehicle-mounted unit includes a sending/receiving part,
a controller, an authentication part, and an ID-storage part.
When the door-opening/closure detection mechanism detects
opening and then closure of the door, the controller
performs the search by an all search method, and only when
the latest authenticated ID is stored in the ID-storage part,
performs the search by an urgent search method using a
simple response signal which does not include an ID.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the fast detection of microorganisms, i.e. of bacteria, fungi, cells and other organisms, making use of methods and apparatuses coming from nanotechnology. According to the present invention, such organisms are detected using micromechanical sensor means known from many physical and chemical applications. One or more micromechanical cantilever sensors are either coated with a nutritive medium or at least partially built from a nutritive medium. By depositing a microorganism on the cantilever surface, preferably in a targeted way and in a controlled dosage, a "biological reaction" is started. This reaction results in a change of the mechanical and/or electrical properties of the sensor, i.e. the cantilever. These changes are determined, preferably at certain points in time, and thus allow the detection and detailed observation of the applied microorganism. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A mounting arrangement 1 is provided in which clamping pairs comprising a clamping pad 2 and seating pads 3 are arranged about a mounting end of a component 4. Thus, the component 4 is appropriately presented to a machining device but the component 4 can slip relative to the pads 2, 3 in order to relieve residual stresses in the component due to initial forging processes. A damper 8 is provided in order to augment vibration control in association with the contact abutments between the pads 2, 3. In such circumstances accurate machining of a component 4 to a final profile 6 from an initial rough profile 5 can be achieved more efficiently without periodic release of the component 4 so that distortions are avoided in the final component as a result of retained residual stresses by previous clamping.

Abstract: A pipeline microprocessor that distributes the instruction dispatching function between a main instruction dispatcher and dispatching logic within a plurality of execution units is disclosed. If the main instruction dispatcher requests load data from a data cache that indicates the data is unavailable, the instruction dispatcher provides to the appropriate execution unit the load instruction (without the load data), a tag (also known by the cache) uniquely identifying the unavailable data, and a false data valid indicator. The cache subsequently obtains the data and outputs it on a bus along with the tag. The dispatching logic in the execution unit is monitoring the bus looking for a valid tag that matches tags of entries in its queue with invalid data indicators. Upon a match, the dispatching logic obtains the data from the bus and subsequently dispatches the instruction along with the data to a functional unit for execution.

Abstract: A method for detecting, monitoring or identifying chemical or microbial
analytes comprising four basic steps: (1) The gas
or liquid medium to be monitored or analyzed is brought into contact with a bioconcentrator
which is used to bind with or collect and concentrate one or more analytes; (2) the
bioconcentrator-analyte complex is then exposed to radiation of one or more predetermined
wavelengths to produce Raman scattering spectral bands; (3) at least a portion
of the Raman spectral bands are collected and processed by a Raman spectrometer to
convert the same into an electrical signal; and (4) the electrical signal is processed to
detect and identity, qualitatively and/or quantitatively, the analyte(s). The methodology
of this invention may also comprise Raman reactive capacity analysis of the bioconcentrator
itself, simultaneously with or independently from the detection of the analyte, to
determine the potential ability of the bioconcentrator to complex with analytes; the results
of this latter analysis may be used to affect or alter or modify the methodology involved
in detection and analysis of the analytes.

Abstract: A subterranean environment evaluating apparatus and method, which measure, e.g., the geologic distribution coefficient in a subterranean environments using, e.g., a pit formed by boring. The subterranean environment evaluating apparatus comprises a geologic evaluation sensor, a pump, an analyzer, a PC, a data transmitter, etc., and it is disposed in the pit formed underground by boring. The geologic evaluation sensor is disposed to form a thin layer channel defined by the surface of a rock bed. Groundwater mixed with a tracer is caused to flow through the sensor, and the analyzer measures a change of tracer concentration in the groundwater between before and after contact of the groundwater with the rock bed. The PC determines a breakthrough curve from the change of tracer concentration, thereby calculating the distribution coefficient (Kd) between the rock bed and the groundwater and the effective diffusion coefficient of the rock bed.
