摘要:
The present invention provides a fuel cell system that has a fuel cell portion including one or more unit cells, a fuel tank for storing fuel used in the unit cells, and a control portion for controlling the fuel cell portion. The number of unit cells is optimized so that a total amount of energy, which is outputted from the fuel cell system as a function of the number of unit cells or of an electrode area, shows a maximum value or a nearly maximum value. Thus, the amount of energy may be maximized or made to be equal to or more than a predetermined value. Accordingly, target devices to be supplied with power from the fuel cell system may be used for a longer time.

The present invention is to provide a low solvent content type-coating composition by which the resultant coatings with good scuff resistance or water resistance as well as good chipping resistance are produced, while the content of an organic solvent to be used can be much reduced. The low solvent content type-coating composition comprises a polyester oligomer having a hydroxyl group in an amount of 2.0 to 10.0 moles/Kg-resin, a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 300 to 1500, a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 300 to 3000, and a ratio of a weight average molecular weight/a number average molecular weight (Mw/Mn) of 1 to 2.0, an amount of a modifying lactone being 31 to 85%, and an aliphatic hydrocarbon group of C4-22 which is not derived from lactones. The present invention is also to provide a process for coating a low solvent content type-coating composition on, for example, a base coating composition by a wet-on-wet coating. The base coating composition comprises a vinyl oligomer having a hydroxyl group and/or a blocked hydroxyl group, a melamine resin containing 50 to 100% of an imino type or methylol type mononucleus melamine and a weak acidic curing catalyst.

Further, a method for the production of a sulfide group-containing mercaptocarboxylic ester which comprises causing an alkylene sulfide to react with a mercaptocarboxylic ester.
摘要:
An interface circuit and method for transmitting a binary logic signal from a first electronic circuit to a second electronic circuit over a transmission line coupled to said first electronic circuit by a first terminal and to said second electronic circuit by a second terminal. The interface circuit transmits the binary logic signal by transmitting a pulse at a first potential at each falling transition of the binary logic signal, and a pulse at a second potential at each rising transition of the binary logic signal. At other times, the output terminal of a driver circuit is placed in a high-impedance state. A receiver circuit outputs a first logic Level upon receiving a pulse at the first potential, and outputs a second logic level upon receiving a pulse at the second potential. Output of these logic levels is maintained until the next pulse is received. The transmission line is preferably terminated at a potential intermediate between the first and second potentials.
