摘要:
A fuel cell system has an anode space and a cathode space which are separated from one another by a proton-conducting membrane, and an oxygen-containing gas flows through the cathode space. According to the invention, it is suggested to admit to the anode space a liquid fuel/coolant mixture, preferably a methanol/water mixture. By means of this combination of the fuel circulation and the coolant circulation, the system can be manufactured in a more compact and lower-cost manner.

A fuel cell includes at least one cell that contains a proton-conducting polymer electrolyte membrane, which separates an anode compartment and a cathode compartment. The membrane is comprised of a thermoplastic polymer that has a permanent service temperature of at least 100° C.

An electrochemical fuel cell is operated with periodic reactant starvation at either or both electrodes. Periodic reactant starvation conditions cause a change in the potential of the starved electrode and may result in the removal of electrocatalyst poisons and in improved fuel cell performance. This technique may have other beneficial effects at the electrodes, including performance improvements due to water management effects or localized heating effects at the starved electrode. In a preferred method, while successive localized portions of a fuel cell electrode are periodically reactant starved, the remainder of the fuel cell electrode remains electrochemically active and saturated with reactant such that the fuel cell is able to continue to generate power.

The invention concerns a device for the angular adjustment of a camshaft relative to the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine, particularly a vane-type adjuster (1) comprising a stator (12) that is driven by the crankshaft preferably through a traction element and a drive pinion (11), and a vane rotor (18) that can be pressurized by pressure oil and is rotationally fixed to the camshaft while possessing a means, preferably an axially displaceable fixing pin (37) for effecting a releasable, rotational fixing of the vane rotor. The drawback of oil leakage in common vane-type adjusters is avoided by the fact that all components of the vane-type adjuster (1) that have contact with pressure oil are arranged in an oil-tight housing (2).
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for bonding a thin electrically conductive wire, especially an aluminum wire (11), to electrical bonding pads or areas (12, 14) of electric or electronic components (16), especially microchips or semiconductor components. To this end the wire (11) is briefly pressed against the bonding pad (12, 14) by means of an ultrasonically energized bonding wedge (10) and is subsequently severed at a small distance from the side (17) of the wedge (10) that is opposite to the wire feeding side (15) thereof. To prevent the formation of a wire tail (TL) protruding beyond the bonding length (BL), a wire clamping tool (21) is provided on the wire feeding side of the wedge (10) by means of which the wire (11), after having been severed and prior to another bonding operation, is moved back, preferably retracted, at least to such an extent that the free wire end is approximately flush with the side (17) of the wedge (10) which is opposite to the wire feeding side (15 ) thereof.
摘要:
A method and device are provided for the ultrasonic inoculation of biological cell material. The method and device can be implemented by transmitting ultrasonic energy via a device, that includes an ultrasonic transducer and suitably formed glass fibres coupled thereto, into the immediate vicinity of the cells to be inoculated in a fluid containing the inoculation medium or a tissue aggregation. A simple method for low-cost inoculation of individual cells or cell aggregations with biological molecules and/or with pharmaceutical particles is thereby provided.
摘要:
An outer joint part for a constant velocity universal ball joint, produced from a tubular member formed from a plate metal part and provided with substantially longitudinally extending ball tracks intended for receiving torque transmitting balls, with an axial central portion of the tubular member is reduced in cross-section relative to two axial end regions and is provided with ball tracks, with a substantially radial flange formed on at one axial end of the tubular member, with the center lines of the ball tracks extending in a non-parallel way relative to the axis A of the outer joint part and with the axial end of the tubular member positioned opposite the flange remaining undeformed.
摘要:
A cam shaft for valve operation in an internal combustion engine comprises two shaft elements of which the first (101, 201) is disposed inside the second (102, 202) and can be moved relative thereto angularly and/or axially. First cam elements (107, 207) provided on the first shaft element have at least lobe portions which extend radially outwardly through slots in the second shaft element to provide a cam surface, while second cam elements are provided on the second shaft element. The first and/or the second shaft element may comprise a number of individual tubular sections joined to one another.
摘要:
Liquefaction of lignin by hydrogenolysis in the presence of a catalytic composition of metal sulfides which are prepared in situ and in the presence of a lower aliphatic alcohol affords substantially increased yields of monophenols. When methanol is used in the presence of a catalyst which is a mixture of the sulfides of divalent iron, copper, and tin the total monophenols can be as high as 65% with the total cresols being about 45%. Phenol, which is used as a liquefying solvent, can itself be formed in good yield when lignin tar is used as the liquefying solvent. This affords the opportunity of conducting the liquefaction in a continuous fashion using two stages of reaction.

A process for the recovery of hydrocarbonaceous oil from oil shale is disclosed. The process comprises: (a) heating the shale in the presence of a gas comprising hydrogen sulfide at subcritical conditions of said gas including a temperature from about 650.degree. F. to about 825.degree. F. to produce a solvent extractable material and to liberate at least a first portion of the hydrocarbon contained therein; and (b) contacting the resulting solvent extractable material with a normally-liquid solvent at subcritical, reflux conditions of said solvent to liberate at least a second portion of the hydrocarbon contained in the solvent extractable material.
