Abstract: 燃料電池の膜電極接合体１において、水素極側触媒層１１ａの気孔率が空気極側触媒層１１ｂの気孔率よりも小さくなるようにする。具体的には、水素極側触媒層を構成するイオン交換樹脂のカーボン担体に対する重量比率を空気極側触媒層のその重量比率よりも大とする、あるいは、水素極側触媒層に所定粒径以下の添加材を含ませる、あるいは、水素極側触媒層は触媒インクのスプレー塗布により形成し、空気極側触媒層は転写法で形成する。本発明によれば、水素極側触媒層から電解質膜を介して空気極側触媒層へ透過する水素量を低減し、空気極側触媒層での水素の直接燃焼反応を抑制して電池の耐久性を向上させることができる。

Abstract: An approach for morphing between planar shapes is disclosed. Correspondences are established between perceptual feature points that are extracted from both source and target shapes. A similarity metric between two feature points is defined using the intrinsic properties of their local neighborhoods. The optimal correspondence is found by an efficient dynamic programming technique. This approach treats shape noise by allowing the discarding of small feature points, which introduces skips in the traversal of the dynamic programming graph. Intermediate shapes are obtained by interpolating the overall shapes constructed by feature points and the detailed information of the shapes respectively.

Abstract: The corset to relieve the cervical spine includes the head strap ( 1 ) and the waist strap ( 5 ). The head strap is fixed over the forehead and the waist strap around the body. The head and the waist straps are mutually connected with strips that can be adjusted to the height of the person using the corset. The strips are to limit bending of the head forward and to the left and right, as well as its rotation around the vertical axis. This produces a significant fixation that enhances effects of eccentric contraction of the deep neck muscles. This, in turn, at head bending or rotation, significantly diminishes aggravating effects to the cervical spine. With regard to the strip construction, there are three corset embodiments: corset (A) with buckles ( 10 ) on strips, corset (B) with holes ( 15 ) on strips, and corset (C) with buckles and holes on strips. The strips may be connected to a cap or head scarf instead of the head strap.

Abstract: A portable telephone device with incorporated projector 10 displays the contents of a received email upon a main liquid crystal display device 204. When a projection switch of a projector module 6 (Fig. 1) is ON, instead of providing this display upon the main liquid crystal display device 204, it is projected by a projector module 6. During this projection with the projector module 6, the display of the main liquid crystal display device 204 is turned OFF. In the projector module 6, there is included a liquid crystal panel 62 (Fig. 2) which projects a greater number of characters, as compared to the display screen of the main liquid crystal display device 204 upon which the number of characters displayed vertically and horizontally is 10×10. This portable telephone device with incorporated projector 10 projects the contents of the received email after having changed its vertical-horizontal ratio (its row-column ratio) so that the number of characters in the horizontal direction becomes greater, as compared to the display screen of the main liquid crystal display device 204, upon which the numbers of characters being displayed vertically and horizontally are equal.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaning head includes a housing having an agitator in the form of a brush bar rotatably arranged in a chamber having an air inlet and an air outlet and also includes an air turbine for driving the brush bar is provided. The air turbine has its own air inlet for admitting clean air to drive the turbine. A restricting member is arranged in the outlet of the chamber so as to restrict the cross-section of the outlet when the head is pressed against a surface to be cleaned and to restrict the flow of air from the brush bar chamber. The restricting member is designed to distribute incoming air between the main inlet and the turbine inlet in a satisfactory ratio. Thus, more air flows through the turbine, enabling it to drive the brush bar at high rotational speed.
