    摘要: According to one aspect of the present invention the fuel cell device includes an electrolyte sheet. The electrolyte sheet has a substantially non-porous body of a varied thickness, a relatively smooth surface and a more textured surface with multiple indentations therein, wherein the thickest part of the electrolyte sheet is at least 0.5 micrometers greater than the thinnest part of said electrolyte sheet. The side of the electrolyte sheet with a relatively smooth surface is subjected to the predominately tensile force and the other, more textured surface subjected to predominately compressive force. According to one embodiment, the fuel cell also includes one cathode disposed on the more textured side of said electrolyte sheet at least at least one anode disposed opposite the cathode on the relatively smooth side of aid electrolyte sheet. According to one embodiment, the relatively smooth side of the electrolyte sheet is the fuel facing side and the more textured side is the air-facing side.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to an in-line engine exhaust system. In general, the exhaust system is comprised of the following: (1) a honeycomb structure having an inlet and outlet end disposed in a housing and located in an exhaust gas stream downstream from an engine and possessing a first substantially unobstructed flow region, a second more obstructed flow region adjacent the first region; and, (2) a fluidics apparatus disposed in the exhaust stream proximate to the first region for creating a negative flow zone within the first region, which in turn results in diverting a portion of the exhaust gases away from the first region. More specifically, the fluidics apparatus includes a source diversion fluid, typically air, a conduit for delivering the diversion fluid and a diverter body for diverting the diversion fluid.

    摘要: An apparatus for reducing the amount of electrical power needed to attain light-off of a catalytic converter, particularly a catalytic converter for internal combustion engines. In addition to a resistance-heated catalytic converter, means are provided for varying the air/fuel ratio in the exhaust gas system for the purpose of reducing the ignition temperature of the exhaust gas stream, thereby further reducing the electrical energy required to attain light-off during cold-start.
