There is: a methanol tank (16) to accommodate methanol; a water recovery tank(18) for accommodating water which has fallen out from at least the fuel cell; a tank for aqueous methanol solution, fed with methanol and water by metering from the methanol tank and the water recovery tank, supplying a liquid mixture of methanol and water to the reformer; and a changeover valve (22) which is located below the water recovery tank and permits the bleeding of all the water from the recovery tank and a water line (62).
Patent DE-19930920-A1 (DE)
Inventor: LINDNER MATHIAS
IPC: C08J5/04
Filed: 1999-07-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a long fibre-reinforced thermoplastic material and to a method for producing long fibre-reinforced thermoplastics. According to said method, the fibres are impregnated with a first thermoplastic material. Since the matrix of the material consists of at least two different thermoplastics, the fibres being essentially only wet by one of the two thermoplastic materials, the material is considerably more variable in terms of the mechanical and other physical, chemical and electrical properties that can be obtained than known thermoplastic, long fibre-reinforced materials.

Abstract: Molecular sieve zeolites are incorporated in the inflator device to assist in the
inflation of airbags in passenger vehicles. The pre-loading of the molecular sieve
zeolites with gases such as air or nitrogen or carbon dioxide provides for rapid airbag
inflation and following inflation, additionally provides the remediation of at least a
portion of the toxic waste gases generated by the exploding inflator device. Molecular
sieve zeolites, particularly zeolites X, having been exchanged with lithium or calcium,
provide high-capacity gas storage and enhanced toxic waste gas adsorption. The use
of molecular sieve zeolites reduces risk of injury to occupants of vehicles from
exposure to hot, toxic waste gases following airbag deployment.

Patent EP-1085628-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BECHAZ BERNARD
IPC: H02B1/052
Filed: 2000-08-30
Abstract: The device includes two identical clips, in which the relative displacement of the clips is used to fix and unfix component, utilizing simple leverage. Each clip (6) is an elongated rectangular moulded plate, stepped centrally so that the upper surface on one half and the under surface on the other are coplanar. Central notches allow the two clips, mutually reversed, without inversion, to interlock. This assembly, fitted in an electrical component (2), e.g. a fuse-holder or terminal block, allows the component to be simply mounted on, or released from, a rail of top hat section, i.e. U-shaped, with turned out edges. Each clip has, integrally moulded, a hooked projection (12) underneath, engaging the rail edge, and, on top, a resilient pawl (24) whose tip (20) engages one or other of two notches (16,18) on the companion clip. The two-clip assembly has fixed and released positions. In the fixed position, the pawl tips are engaged in the outer two notches (16), and the projecting hooks engage the rail edges. In the released position the inner notches (18) are engaged, and the hooks are disengaged. In the released position, also, two nominally vertical resilient fingers (30) projecting, one from the top of each clip, near the center, are deflected inwards by inclined ramps (36) within the main body. Energy thus stored assists in providing a rapid transition to the fixed position when leverage is applied, e.g. by a screwdriver blade, to the clip end. The release state is easily obtained by inserting the blade (8) centrally (38) and twisting.
