    摘要: In an air-metal fuel cell battery (FCB) system, wherein metal-fuel tape, the ionically-conductive medium and the cathode structures are transported at substantially the same velocity at the locus of points at which the ionically-conductive medium contacts the moving cathode structure and the moving metal-fuel tape during discharging and recharging modes of operation. In a first generalized embodiment of the present invention, the ionically-conductive medium is realized as an ionically-conductive belt, and the metal-fuel tape, ionically-conductive belt, and movable cathode structure are transported at substantially the same velocity at the locus of points which the ionically-conducing belt contacts the metal-fuel tape and the cathode structure during system operation. In a second generalized embodiment of the present invention, the ionically-conductive medium is realized as a solid-state film layer integrated with the metal-fuel tape. In a third generalized embodiment of the present invention, the ionically-conductive medium is realized as a solid-state film layer integrated with the movable cathode structure. By transporting the movable cathode structure, ionically contacting medium and metal-fuel tape within the system as described above, generation of frictional forces among such structures are minimized during system operation, and thus the damage to the cathode structure and metal-fuel tape is substantially reduced.

    摘要: Disclosed are various types of metal-air FCB-based systems comprising a Metal-Fuel Transport Subsystem, a Metal-Fuel Discharging Subsystem, and a Metal-Fuel Recharging Subsystem. The function of the Metal-Fuel Transport Subsystem is to transport metal-fuel material, in the form of tape, cards, sheets, cylinders and the like, to the Metal-Fuel Discharge Subsystem, or the Metal-Fuel Recharge Subsystem, depending on the mode of the system selected. When transported to or through the Metal-Fuel Discharge Subsystem, the metal-fuel is discharged by (i.e. electro-chemically reaction with) one or more discharging heads in order produce electrical power across an electrical load connected to the subsystem while H2O and O2 are consumed at the cathode-electrolyte interface during the electrochemical reaction. When transported to or through the Metal-Fuel Recharging Subsystem, discharged metal-fuel is recharged by one or more recharging heads in order to convert the oxidized metal-fuel material into its source metal material suitable for reuse in power discharging operations, while O2 is released at the cathode-electrolyte interface during the electro-chemical reaction. In the illustrative embodiments, discharge and recharge parameters are detected and processed in order to generate control data signals that are used to control discharging and recharging parameters so that discharging and recharging operations and metal-fuel/metal-oxide management operations are carried out in an efficient manner.

    摘要: Disclosed is an electrical power generation system comprised of a network of metal-air fuel cell battery (FCB) subsystems connected to an output power bus structure and controlled by a network control subsystem. The operation of each metal-air FCB subsystem is controlled so that, on the average, the amount of metal-fuel in each of the FCB subsystem is substantially the same, regardless of the total amount of metal-fuel remaining within the system available for electrical power generation. The electrical power generation system can be used as an electrical power plant that can be installed in virtually any system, device or environment in which there is a need to satisfy the peak power demand of an electrical load (e.g. motor, appliance, machinery, tools, etc.) independent of the total amount of metal-fuel remaining within the system. The system is provided with a network-based metal-fuel management subsystem adapted for use in managing the discharging and recharging of metal-fuel in the system in an efficient manner. In the illustrative embodiment, the electrical power generation system is embedded within an automotive vehicle that is provided with hybrid types of electrical power generating sources, as well as an auxiliary power source, for providing electrical power to the input bus structure for carrying out recharging operations.

    摘要: In color printing, and in the fine arts, cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) color inks are known to possess much higher color saturation and brightness than conventional pigment and dyed based inks. However, prior art CLC ink formulations are inconvenient because in the liquid phase they have to be confined in cells, and in the solid phase, they have to be applied at high temperature, and have to be aligned by some means to produce the optimum color. This invention solves the problem encountered in the CLC prior art, by making pre-aligned CLC platelets or flakes of appropriate thickness and size and mixing them in appropriate host fluids producing a novel CLC ink which can be applied at room temperature and without the need for alignment. The new pre-aligned room temperature CLC ink can be used as a substitute for conventional inks in almost all printing and plotting, and manual drawing and painting. Using the notch filter CLC platelets, the brightness is further enhanced. This invention teaches the CLC ink concepts, its applications and method of manufacturing.

    摘要: Pixel data processing system and method for producing a spatial multiplexed image of a 3-D object for use in stereoscopic viewing thereof. The pixel data sets of each pair of first and second perspective (e.g. left and right) images of a 3-D object, are stored in a first and second memory arrays. The pixel data sets of the first and second perspective images are processed in accordance with complimentary spatial modulation functions, so as to produce third and fourth pixel data sets representative of first and second spatially modulated images consisting of first and second pixel patterns, respectively. The pixel data sets of the first and second spatially modulated images are stored in third and fourth memory arrays. The pixel data sets of the first and second spatially modulated images are processed in accordance with a spatial multiplexing function, so as to produce a fifth pixel data set representing a spatially multiplexed image (SMI) of the object. The pixel data set of the spatially multiplexed image is stored in a fifth memory array, and is then translated into a set of vector quantities that are used to graphically present (e.g. record or display) the spatially multiplexed image for viewing through an optically transparent micropolarization panel and a pair of passively polarized spectacles.

    摘要: A circuit is provided for sampling and accurately reproducing unknown signals which could be electrical, optical, x-ray, gamma ray or particle signals with picosecond resolution. The circuit comprises a superconductive sampling gate having at least two states which are distinguishable from one another and switching circuitry to switch the state of the sampling gate. The switching circuitry includes a sampling pulse source and a bias current source which are combined with the unknown signal to change the state of the monitor gate. A step generator utilizing Josephson junction technology is connected to the source of the unknown signal and sends a signal to the source of the unknown signal in order to initiate the outputting of the unknown signal and thus the sampling. Timing circuitry, also utilizing Josephson junction technology, provides an adjustable delay between the step signal generation and the sampling pulse generation.
