摘要： A fuel cell stack comprising a plurality of fuel cells, each having an anode flow field plate, a cathode flow field plate and a membrane electrode assembly disposed between the flow field plates. The anode and cathode flow field plates have primary channels and ribs separating the primary channels. At least a portion of the anode and cathode primary channels are disposed directly opposite one another with a membrane exchange assembly therebetween and with at least some of the ribs on the anode and cathode flow field plates located directly opposite one another to sandwich the membrane exchange assembly therebetween. The flow field plates can also have inlet distribution and outlet collection channels. Each of these distribution and collection channels is connected to a plurality of the primary channels, preferably located centrally, so as to improve flow distribution of the reactants.

摘要： A multi-room video teleconferencing station which uses a single personal computer (PC) to provide video teleconferencing from local or remote locations. Two audio/video heads are attached to the system. A first audio/video head is local to the PC and allows a user to place video teleconference calls from a desktop system in the user's office or from a second audio/video head located at a remote location, such as a conference room. Each audio/video head includes a video display, a camera, a microphone, and a speaker. The second audio/video head allows a user to place a video teleconference call from another room while using the PC in the user's office to perform communications and control functions. The audio/video teleconference function can be disabled at both audio/video heads or selectively activated at either the first or second audio/video head. The second audio/video head has optional data entry capability to allow a user to remotely activate the system. Alternative embodiments use multiple second audio/video heads to provide more extended video teleconferencing capability. Multiple teleconferencing stations can be networked via LANs or servers.

摘要： The invention relates to a management method for managing a turning movement of an aircraft taxiing on the ground, the aircraft having wheels each fitted with an independent drive device, in which method commands are generated for the independent drive devices so that at least some of those devices contribute to the turning movement. According to the invention, the method comprises the steps of: estimating at each instant during the turning movement: an instantaneous total power developed by all of the independent drive devices in response to the commands; and an instantaneous mean angular acceleration for all of the wheels; and adapting the commands to the independent drive devices such that the total instantaneous power developed by all of the independent drive devices is minimized, while conserving the mean angular acceleration.

摘要： An electrochemical cell assembly includes first and second flow field plates, first and second gas diffusion media disposed between the first and second flow field plates, and a membrane electrode assembly disposed between the first and second gas diffusion media. The membrane electrode assembly can include a proton exchange membrane, and a catalyst layer on the proton exchange membrane. The catalyst layout can be configured to omit the catalyst layer from a portion of the proton exchange membrane adjacent an edge region of one of the first and second gas diffusion media, thereby enabling at least a portion of the reactant fluid flow to first encounter a region of the membrane electrode assembly without the catalyst layer. The modified catalyst layout can improve reactant fluid flow along the membrane electrode assembly, reduce wear on the membrane electrode assembly and improve electrochemical cell efficiency during operation.

摘要： A process of rapid and highly accurate analysis of spectral data, includes both a linear scanning (LINSCAN) method and an advanced peak detection method for pattern recognition. One or both of the methods are used to support the detection and identification of chemical, biological, radiation, nuclear and explosive materials. The spectra of various targets can be analyzed by the two spectral analysis methods. These two methods can be combined for dual confirmation, greater accuracy, and to reduced false positives and false negatives, relative to what can be accomplished by either alone.
