    摘要: A joint for use in electrochemical devices, such as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), oxygen separators, and hydrogen separators, that will maintain a hermetic seal at operating temperatures of greater than 600° C., despite repeated thermal cycling excess of 600° C. in a hostile operating environment where one side of the joint is continuously exposed to an oxidizing atmosphere and the other side is continuously exposed to a wet reducing gas. The joint is formed of a metal part, a ceramic part, and a flexible gasket. The flexible gasket is metal, but is thinner and more flexible than the metal part. As the joint is heated and cooled, the flexible gasket is configured to flex in response to changes in the relative size of the metal part and the ceramic part brought about by differences in the coefficient of thermal expansion of the metal part and the ceramic part, such that substantially all of the tension created by the differences in the expansion and contraction of the ceramic and metal parts is absorbed and dissipated by flexing the flexible gasket.

    摘要: A seal formed between a metal part and a second part that will remain gas tight in high temperature operating environments which experience frequent thermal cycling, which is particularly useful as an insulating joint in solid oxide fuel cells. A first metal part is attached to a reinforcing material. A glass forming material in the positioned in between the first metal part and the second part, and a seal is formed between the first metal part and the second part by heating the glass to a temperature suitable to melt the glass forming materials. The glass encapsulates and bonds at least a portion of the reinforcing material, thereby adding tremendous strength to the overall seal. A ceramic material may be added to the glass forming materials, to assist in forming an insulating barrier between the first metal part and the second part and to regulating the viscosity of the glass during the heating step.

    摘要: A method of preparing a transgenic animal model with enhanced, accelerated pathology for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and the transgenic animal made by the method is disclosed. The method includes producing an F.sub.1 generation by crossing a first and second transgenic parent each carrying a different expressible transgene for differing aspects of the same desired phenotype associated with AD pathology. The offspring of the F.sub.1 generation are then screened and those which carry a transgene from each parental transgenic animal resulting in an enhanced pathology for Alzheimer's Disease are selected. In a preferred embodiment the AD-associated pathology is for amyloid accumulation. In an embodiment a mutant presenilin transgene and a transgene for a mutant amyloid precursor protein are used. In a further embodiment the mutant presenilin transgene is the PS1 M146L mutation and the mutant amyloid precursor protein transgene is the Swedish mutation (APP695 isoform containing a K670N,M671L mutation (APP770 numbering)).
