Patent EP-1291951-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HATOH KAZUHITO
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2002-09-10
Abstract: End plates of a fuel cell are conventionally made by cutting metal plates. Therefore, they have problems in that it is difficult to reduce their cost, and they are inconveniently heavy, and they are likely to be corroded by supplied gases and cooling water since they contact such gases and water at inside surfaces of manifold holes of the metal end plates. 
     According to the present invention, the end plates are made of a resin-dominant material, more preferably by injection-molding such material, so that it becomes possible to reduce the cost and weight of the end plates, and the corrosion resistance can be greatly improved by insert-molding the current collecting plates in such a manner that the end plate material extends into a manifold hole of each current collecting plate.

cylinder head and a cylinder block when the metallic gasket (10) is disposed
between the joint surfaces of the cylinder head and the cylinder block and
fastened by clamping bolts. An elastic sealing material is fixed to the convex
portion of the metal bead (14) and filled in a concave portion on the reverse side of
the base plate (11) to form a rubber bead, and the sealing material is deformed

Abstract: A method to calculate a fuel driveability index (DI) value is provided from a
sample of fuel in a container as tested by the industry standard ASTM D86 test
(28) providing particular temperature data at various percentages of evaporation
as the container is heated. The particular temperature data provides a DI value.
The same sample of fuel is tested on a sensor capable of retaining a
predetermined volume of fuel (30). Temperature data is monitored at the same
percentages of evaporation as the sensor is being heated (32, 34). Correlation
equations are mathematically calculated between the temperature data from the
sensor relative to the particular temperature data from the ASTM D86 test (36)
and stored in the engine controller (26) of a vehicle (38). The fuel from the fuel
tank (14) is tested by heating (42) a similar on-board sensor (10) having the
predetermined volume of fuel (40) and measuring the temperature data (44) as a
function of the remaining fuel in the sensor. The stored correlation equations
are applied to the measured temperatures to provide the required temperature
data to calculate the DI value for the fuel in the fuel tank (46).

Abstract: A video processing method generates output images for display, each output image having one or more regions derived from a first source image separated by a wipe boundary from one or more regions derived from a second source image, each display position of the source images having an associated transparency coefficient. The method comprises the steps of: preparing the first source image for display in a display memory; defining a wipe origin locus representing a wipe boundary when substantially all of the output image is derived from the first source image and a wipe destination locus representing a wipe boundary when substantially all of the output image is derived from the second source image, points on the wipe destination locus being associated with points on the wipe origin locus, each such pair of associated points defining a respective wipe progression direction; generating a wipe control signal defining proportions of the first and second source images to be displayed with respect to normalised display distance along a wipe progression direction from the wipe origin locus and the wipe destination locus; modifying the transparency coefficient of the first source image held in the display memory, the transparency coefficient of each display position being modified in dependence on value of the wipe control signal corresponding to the normalised display distance along the wipe progression direction between that display position and the wipe origin locus and between that display position and the wipe destination locus; and writing the second source image over the first source image in the display memory so that the first source image is modified by pixels of the second source image in dependence on the transparency coefficient associated with each display position of the first source image.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process to create without mechanical
agitation a zone of low shear, low turbulence flow pattern within a continuous
phase liquid (3) contained in a vessel (1) by a continuous or periodic injection of an
inert, immiscible, low density fluid (5,6), preferably gas, into the liquid to form such a
flow pattern, recovering the fluid above the free surface of the liquid, and
preferably re-injecting it into the liquid. The invention is particularly useful if the
continuous liquid contains a dispersed phase (4) which should be distributed
within the continuous liquid without excessive particle agglomeration or
breakups in order to largely preserve the initial particle size distribution, or if
the initial particle size distribution needs to be modified by controlled breakups
of the largest particles, particularly during the subsequent batch processing.

Abstract: The HA IS-IS system provides a redundant backup IS-IS protocol instance that can seamlessly assume the function of the active IS-IS instance in the event of active MCP failure. Once the backup is online, the active synchronizes its global, interface, adjacency, neighbor, and LSP system state information. In the ongoing synchronization phase, the active and the backup maintain synchronization using a combination of explicit message updates from active to backup together with message flow-through. In the recovery phase, the operating system detects the failure of the active and notifies the backup, which assumes the active function as a standalone system without reconfiguring or interrupting traffic among peer network routers, and starts computing forwarding tables and updating routing tables.
