Abstract: An electrode catalyst for a fuel cell is provided which excels
in catalytic activity and catalytic durability. The electrode
catalyst for the fuel cell has noble metal-containing particle
deposited on an electroconductive carrier and the noble
metal-containing particle possesses a core-shell structure
comprising a core part formed of a noble metal alloy and a shell part
formed of a noble metal layer different in composition from the core
par and formed on the periphery of the core part. This core-shell
structure enables the catalytic activity and the catalytic durability
of the electrode catalyst to be enhanced simultaneously.

Abstract: After the duct (9) has been cleaned it is filled with water (2) and the flow rate determined. If the detected value does not exceed a particular agreed level the data are saved and the duct (9) used again. The cleaning and testing process is repeated until the critical value is achieved if the first test was unsuccessful. If, after a pre-set number of trials the value is still not satisfying the duct (9) has to be replaced. Using the data of several tests a tendency is determined and used as a reference for a prediction regarding the life-span of the particular item (9).

Abstract: In the mobile terminal, the reception quality estimating
unit measures a reception quality, and at least one of the data
buffer monitoring unit and the transmission power monitoring
unit measures a data transmission capability. Based on the
measured reception quality and data transmission capability,
the terminal determines a transmission mode to be used, and
reports it to the base station. The base station determines
the transmission mode to be practically used in accordance with
the reported transmission mode, and notifies it to the mobile
terminal. The base station transmits data according to the
determined transmission mode, and the mobile terminal receives
data according to the notified transmission mode. Thereby, the
radio communication system determines the transmission mode in
consideration for not only the reception quality, but also the
deficiency in the data transmission capability of the terminal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a unique system and method that facilitates
obtaining high performance and more secure HiPs. More specifically, the HIPs can be
generated in part by caching pre-rendered characters and/or pre-rendered arcs as bitmaps
in binary form and then selecting any number of the characters and/or arcs randomly to
form a HIP sequence. The warp field can be pre-computed and converted to integers in
binary form and can include a plurality of sub-regions. The warp field can be cached as
well. Any one sub-region can be retrieved from the warp field cache and mapped to the
HIP sequence to warp the HIP. Thus, the pre-computed warp field can be used to warp
multiple HIP sequences. The warping can occur in binary form and at a high resolution
to mitigate reverse engineering. Following, the warped HIP sequence can be down-sampled
and texture and/or color can be added as well to improve its appearance.

La seconde surface latérale est constituée de première et seconde parties de surface. La seconde partie de surface est positionnée de manière adjacente à la surface de plancher et est orientée perpendiculairement à cette dernière. La première partie de surface est orientée selon un certain angle relativement à la surface de plancher. La seconde surface latérale peut également présenter une forme convexe ou concave. Une action de coinçage entre la rainure et un raccord est facilitée par le fait que la largeur de chaque rainure est supérieure au niveau de la surface du tuyau qu'elle ne l'est au niveau de la surface de plancher.
