Abstract:
Disclosed is a computer-enabled method for writing data to the extended user memory of a Class 1 Generation 2 Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag. The disclosed method can also be used to format extracted maintenance data from the tag and compare it to the master database for validity.
Abstract:
The invention is a fuel cell comprising a cathode film having a side surface, an anode film having a side surface and an electrolyte film disposed between the cathode film and the anode film and having a side surface. The anode, cathode and electrolyte side surfaces are coplanar. Protons generated at the anode diffuse along the anode side surface, the electrolyte side surface or both towards the cathode side surface. Oxygen ions generated at the cathode diffuse along the cathode side surface, the electrolyte side surface, or both towards the anode side surface.
Abstract:
A fuel cell or battery has an integral multifunction heater element operable as an integral heater, an integral temperature sensor, and/or an integral aid to current collection from the fuel cell. The integral multifunction heater element is embedded within the electrolyte, anode, or cathode, disposed in thermal contact with at least one of the electrolyte, anode, or cathode, and is formed of a thin film of material of suitable resistivity, such as a refractory metal or conductive oxide, patterned in a suitable pattern. Conductive terminals provide electrical contact to the thin film. The integral multifunction heater element may include a thermistor or thermocouple. Methods are disclosed for fabricating and using the fuel cell with an integral multifunction heater element.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and computer program product for identifying parts in a vehicle. Signals are received from a plurality of transponders associated with the parts in the vehicle. Locations of the parts are identified based on signal strengths for the signals received from the plurality of transponders and an identification of the parts in the signals.
Abstract:
An assembly comprises a manifold and a valve. The manifold has a portion defining a bore having a first end and a second end. The valve is at least partially disposed within the manifold and includes a coil configured to generate a magnetic field; a bobbin configured to house the coil; a pole piece located near the bobbin; and a housing. The pole piece includes a first end configured for insertion into the bore of the manifold; a circumferentially extending groove located near the first end of the pole piece; an o-ring disposed in the circumferentially extending groove; and a radially outwardly extending flange located near the circumferentially extending groove that is configured to engage both the portion of the manifold defining the first end of the bore and the bobbin. The housing includes a tab configured to fasten the valve to the manifold.
Abstract:
Compositions comprising synthetic rock, e.g., aggregate, and methods of producing and using them are provided. The rock, e.g., aggregate, contains CO2 and/or other components of an industrial waste stream. The CO2 may be in the form of divalent cation carbonates, e.g., magnesium and calcium carbonates. Aspects of the invention include contacting a CO2 containing gaseous stream with a water to dissolve CO2, and placing the water under precipitation conditions sufficient to produce a carbonate containing precipitate product, e.g., a divalent cation carbonate.
Abstract translation:提供了包含合成岩石的组合物,例如聚集体,以及制备和使用它们的方法。 岩石,例如骨料,含有工业废物流中的CO 2和/或其它组分。 CO 2可以是二价阳离子碳酸盐的形式,例如碳酸钙和碳酸钙。 本发明的方面包括使含CO 2的气流与水接触以溶解CO 2,并将水置于足以产生含碳酸盐沉淀物例如二价阳离子碳酸盐的沉淀条件下。
