A method of preparing phytosterols from tall oil pitch containing steryl esters comprises the steps of converting the steryl esters to free phytosterols while in the pitch to produce a modified pitch containing the free phytosterols; removing light ends from the modified pitch by evaporation to produce a bottom fraction containing the free phytosterols; evaporating the bottom fraction to produce a light phase distillate containing the free phytosterols; dissolving the light phase distillate in a solvent comprising an alcohol to produce a solution containing the free phytosterols; cooling the solution to produce a slurry with the free phytosterols crystallized in the slurry; and, washing and filtering the slurry to isolate the crystallized phytosterols.

An apparatus and method for managing cooling characteristics of a fuel cell stack in distinct regions thereof, the fuel cell stack having a plurality of fuel cells, each fuel cell comprising a membrane electrode assembly (MEA), at least one flow field plate interposed between the MEAs of adjacent fuel cells, the flow field plates forming coolant flow field channels on a side of the flow field plates opposing the MEAs and reactant flow field channels on a side of the flow field plates adjacent the MEAs, comprises selectively isolating two distinct volumes in each coolant flow field channel, for example via at least one fluid-tight dividing member, and circulating and/or sealing at least two fluids respectively having distinct characteristics in distinct volumes of the coolant flow field channels to variably manage a rate of cooling in distinct regions of the fuel cell stack.

摘要:
Methods, software, and devices for processing a user-filled form are disclosed. A parsable electronic representation of the user-filled form is received. Based on parsing this electronic representation, at least one of a first or a second subset of input elements is identified. The first subset of input elements represents input fields that have received user-filled data while the second subset of input elements represents input fields that have not received user-filled data. Those text elements representing text providing descriptive context to input fields represented by the identified subset of input elements are associated with the identified subset of input elements. A graphical representation of the user-filled form is generated. In this graphical representation, text represented by text elements associated the first subset of input elements are highlighted relative to text represented by text elements associated with the second subset of input elements.
摘要:
A solid polymer fuel cell comprising a membrane electrode assembly that is in adhesive contact with a first flow field plate around the circumferential edge of the membrane electrode assembly and in non-adhesive contact with a second flow field plate, and an elastomeric manifold seal member that circumscribes at least one manifold opening of the first flow field plate and the second flow field plate. In this configuration, the adhesive substantially seals a first reactant gas while the manifold seal member substantially seals a second reactant gas, thereby improving sealing reliability and simplifying the seal design without overly compressing and damaging the circumferential edge of the membrane electrode assembly.

摘要:
A method for performing timing analysis includes receiving information specifying an integrated circuit. A neighborhood of shapes associated with the integrated circuit is then determined. Delay information associated with the integrated circuit is generated based on the neighborhood of shapes. The neighborhood of shapes may be determined by determining a first set of spacings to a boundary of a first cell from an internal shape. A second set of spacings may be determined from the boundary of the first cell to a shape of a second cell. A lithography process may be characterized using the first and second set of spacings.
