摘要:
A low contaminant formic acid fuel is especially suited toward use in a direct organic liquid fuel cell. A fuel of the invention provides high power output that is maintained for a substantial time and the fuel is substantially non-flammable. Specific contaminants and contaminant levels have been identified as being deleterious to the performance of a formic acid fuel in a fuel cell, and embodiments of the invention provide low contaminant fuels that have improved performance compared to known commercial bulk grade and commercial purified grade formic acid fuels. Preferred embodiment fuels (and fuel cells containing such fuels) including low levels of a combination of key contaminants, including acetic acid, methyl formate, and methanol.
摘要:
In a method and circuit for detecting high-voltage discharge of a gas-actuated fastener-driving gun, an attenuating unit attenuates a discharge voltage from the gas-actuated fastener-driving gun to generate a positive pulse signal. A signal processing unit processes the positive pulse signal to generate a processed pulse signal with an amplified amplitude. A determining unit outputs a control signal upon detecting that the processed pulse signal is greater than a predetermined voltage. A warning unit generates, based on the control signal from the determining unit, a warning output for indicating that the high-voltage discharge is abnormal.

A combustion nailing tool includes a tool body, a one-way valve, a cover disposed on the one-way valve, and a housing including a housing body and a cap. The tool body includes a combustion cylinder formed with an exhaust vent. The one-way valve is disposed on the combustion cylinder to cover an outer side of the exhaust vent, and is configured to allow exhaust gas resulting from ignition in the combustion cylinder to be vented through the exhaust vent. The cover has an open end allowing the exhaust gas to flow therethrough. The housing body defines an accommodating space for containing the combustion cylinder, and an opening in flow communication with the accommodating space and registered with the cover. The cap is mounted removably on the housing body and covers a part of the opening to thereby allow the exhaust gas to flow out of the housing.

Systems and methods of performing real-time data subscription and reporting for telecommunications systems and devices. The systems and methods employ a real-time data aggregation component that can manage subscription requests for real-time data objects stored on the telecommunications systems and devices from one or more users over a network, dynamically start and stop such subscription requests, cache the requested real-time data objects, and supply the real-time data to the respective users. By employing the real-time data aggregation component to handle such subscription requests for data from one or more users, the systems and methods can supply such data, including real-time data, to the respective users, while reducing the overhead on the telecommunications systems and devices and increasing overall system performance.

A powered nail-driving tool includes a striking rod disposed in a shell and thrust into a feeding region of a nail-discharging passage in a barrel along an impact line to force a leading nail of a selected one of ranks of nails oriented along different lines of inclination. A nail magazine has a nail-feeding channel for accommodating the selected rank of nails. A linking arm is secured to a leading edge wall of the magazine, and is pivotally mounted on the barrel such that the magazine is turnable so as to permit the inclination line of the selected rank to align with the impacting line. Thus, the tool can be used for driving different ranks of nails.
