IPC: H01M4/86
Filed: 2001-11-15
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système électrochimique réversible adapté pour fonctionner entre un mode pile à combustible et un mode électrolyse, et un mode alternant entre le mode électrolyse et le mode pile à combustible, appelé également mode de stockage d'énergie, fonctionnant avec un mélange de gaz combustible et un mélange de gaz contenant de l'oxygène. En mode pile à combustible, un courant d'électrons est envoyé à une électrode d'oxygène (28), leur charge étant transférée vers une pluralité d'ions d'oxygène et les ions d'oxygène traversent un électrolyte (22) pour passer dans une électrode combustible (24), la charge étant retransférée vers l'électrode. En mode électrolyse, un courant d'électrons est envoyé vers une électrode combustible (24) où la charge est transférée vers une pluralité d'ions d'oxygène formés par décomposition de vapeur, et les ions d'oxygène traversent un électrolyte (22) pour aboutir à une électrode d'oxygène (28) où la charge est retransférée vers les électrons. En mode de stockage d'énergie, le système alterne entre le mode électrolyse et le mode pile à combustible.

Abstract: A moving picture is encoded into groups of video image
pictures with each frame composed of fields of different field
polarities including a predetermined field polarity. The
polarity of the first field of a series of frames to be encoded
into a respective group of image pictures is set to the
predetermined field polarity. Alternatively, the polarity of the
first field of the series of frames may be identified by data
transmitted with the encoded moving picture. The encoded moving
picture is decoded at a decode start time designated when the
first field in each respective group of image pictures is of the
predetermined field polarity. Alternatively, the decode start
time is generated on the basis of the data designating the field
polarity of the first field. A computer-readable medium provides
a medium on which the encoded moving picture is recorded and
directs a computer to decode the encoded moving picture when the
first image picture in each respective group of image pictures is
an encoded field of the predetermined field polarity or,
alternatively, when the field read from the medium is the first
field as designated by designating data.

Abstract: The improved Class AB input stage monitors the needs of
base current in the slewing transistors 22-25 and supplies
that base current with extremely fast and precise feedback
loops 90-93. This allows the input stage quiescent current
to be very small and gets rid of the non-linearities
associated with the lack of base current available to drive
the slewing transistors 22-25 in a conventional prior art
Class AB input stage. The input stage is a very efficient,
low distortion, high small signals and full power bandwidth
Class AB input stage.

Abstract: The invention is directed to the provision of a
device and method for measurement of angle of rotation
for measuring in a non-contacting fashion the
concentration of an optically active substance such as a
sugar, amino acid, vitamin, or the like dissolved in a
sample. According to the invention, 
     A coherent beam is split into two beams, one being
an object beam and the other being a reference beam, the
object beam passed through the sample is converted by a
quarter wave plate into mutually perpendicular
polarization components having therebetween a phase
difference proportional to the angle of rotation produced
by the sample, and the angle of rotation produced by the
sample is obtained from the phase difference occurring
between beat signals produced by causing the object beam
with the reference beam. Alternatively, a coherent beam
is directed into the sample, the beam passed through the
sample is converted by a quarter wave plate into mutually
perpendicular polarization components having therebetween
a phase difference proportional to the angle of rotation
produced by the sample, and the angle of rotation
produced by the sample is measured based on the phase of
a beat signal produced by causing the mutually
perpendicular polarization components to interfere with
each other by means of a polarizer.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé de production d'un métal ou d'un alliage à partir d'un matériau en extrayant l'O, le S, ou le N d'un corps solide de matériau métallifère par électrolyse dans une cellule électrolytique contenant comme électrolyte un halogénure fondu ou un mélange d'halogénures fondus, le cation du sel étant choisi parmi Ca, Ba, Li, Na, K, Mg, Sr, Cs et Y. Dans une exécution le procédé consiste à effectuer l'électrolyse dans des conditions où le corps solide de matériau métallifère fait partie de la cathode de la cellule électrolytique, laquelle cathode comporte un conducteur la reliant à un potentiel électrique. Ledit conducteur, qui présente une forte résistance à l'attaque par l'électrolyte à haute température, est au moins partiellement immergé dans ce dernier. Dans une autre exécution, le procédé consiste à effectuer l'électrolyse dans des conditions où le potentiel appliqué entre l'anode et la cathode de la cellule électrolytique est choisi pour empêcher la décomposition permanente de l'électrolyte de manière à éviter un dépôt substantiel de cations sur l'anode et quasiment le transport de matériaux de l'anode sur la cathode. L'invention porte également sur la cathode utilisée dans le procédé, qui comporte un corps d'un matériau métallifère réparti autour d'un ou de plusieurs conducteurs sensiblement inertes dans l'électrolyte à haute température et qui forment des zones de réduction de la cathode.
