Title: Method for adjusting the fuel concentration of a fuel mixture containing alcohol or ether as fuel and water, used by a fuel cell and a fuel cell system
Inventor: MEISSNER DIETER
IPC: H01M8/1009
Filed: 1999-10-22
Granted: 2003-01-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for adjusting the fuel concentration of a fuel mixture of a fuel cell using alcohol or ether as fuel and a fuel cell system suitable for said method. According to the invention, the fuel concentration is adjusted to a constant value by means of a specific probe (13). Said probe (13) has a measuring chamber (16) and a membrane (14) closing the measuring chamber (16). Fuel and water permeate the membrane (14). The membrane (14) is selectively permeable in such a way that a measuring mixture is formed in the measuring chamber (16) in which the alcohol concentration is less than 1 vol.- % or more than 5 vol.- %. Suitable fuel sensors (17) can be used for said concentration ranges. The invention also relates to the operation of fuel cells using alcohol or ether as fuels, and water.

Title: Soft, high oxygen permeability ophthalmic lens
Inventor: NUNEZ IVAN M
IPC: C08F299/02
Filed: 1992-06-15
Granted: 1995-02-09
Abstract: A low water contact lens material having high 0<6> permeability, a lower water content and reduced polymer matrix size provides adequate O<6> to the cornea, but does not wick water away from the eye nor allow protein or other tear components to penetrate and deposit in the lens. Such a lens is made by polymerizing and crosslinking a prepolymer which contains a cyclic polyol with polyalkylether segments containing curable segments. The cyclic polyols consist of alkoxylated glucose or sucrose which are then reacted with an isocyanate to produce an ultraviolet curable prepolymer. The prepolymer is then placed in a mold and polymerized by exposure to ultraviolet light. The free hydroxyl groups of the material react with a highly hydrophilic reagent to form covalent bonds thus making the surface of the material more wettable.

Title: Filling cans
Inventor: DIVALL JOHN EDWIN
IPC: B65D79/00
Filed: 1992-06-25
Granted: 1994-06-02
Abstract: A method of filling a can with a non-carbonated product comprises in sequence the steps of (a) filling an open topped can with the product to leave a headspace; (b) blowing a permanent gas into the headspace to substantially fill the headspace and displace water vapour form the headspace; (c) seaming a can end onto the can to close the can; and (d) deforming the can end or can bottom from a first stable shape to a second stable shape so reducing the headspace volume and increase the headspace pressure to a level such that in anticipated conditions of processing, transit and storage the internal pressure remains above 1 atmosphere. The benefits arising are that cans having a thin side wall are supported against abuse or collapse and the cans remain in their desired shape. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of making a body, and article comprising the body
Inventor: KIMERLING LIONEL COOPER
IPC: C01G1/00
Filed: 1989-01-03
Granted: 1990-03-22
Abstract: Disclosed is a broadly applicable method for making an article that comprises a superconductive oxide body, including a thin layer on a substrate, or powder particles. In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises forming a precursor melt and contacting at least a part of the melt with oxygen such that the concentration of oxygen in the part of the melt increases to a critical concentration, resulting in formation of the desired oxide, substantially without drop in temperature. The precursor melt comprises at least one metallic element M, and at least the part of the melt is at a temperature T, with Tm < T < To, where Tm is the freezing temperature of the melt and To is the melting temperature of the superconductive oxide. In an exemplary embodiment the melt consists essentially of Yb, Ba, and Cu in 1:2:3 atomic ratio, T is about 900 DEG C. A layer of superconductive oxide on a SrTiO3 substrate is formed by dipping the hot (900 DEG C) substrate into the melt, exposing the melt-coated substrate to oxygen such that oxygenation and solidification of the coating results, and furnace cooling the coated substrate in oxygen. The thus produced coating has composition YbBa2Cu3O9- delta  ( delta SIMILAR  2.1), is essentially single phase, strongly textured, has Tc of about 85K and Jc of about 3x10<4> A/cm<2>. An aspect of the invention is the fact that the precursor melt need not be stoichiometric. For instance, we have formed a layer of composition YbBa2Cu3O7 from a melt of composition Yb2BaCu. The ability to practice the inventive method with non-stoichiometric precursor melts makes it possible to produce Y-containing bodies (e.g., YBa2Cu3O7 films on a copper substrate). The inventive technique can produce compositionally essentially homogeneous material. It is readily adaptable ro produce ceramics (including high Tc superconductors) and other materials (e.g., AlN) in a variety of shaped (including wire, tape, and powders) by a variety of techniques (including continuous processing). The inventive method can also be used to form a superconductive bond between two pre-existing ceramic superconductive bodies.
