摘要:
An arrangement and process are provided for regulating the humidification or dew point of inlet air supplied (124, 224, 324, 424) to combustion-supported reaction means (20, 120) of a fuel processing system in a fuel cell power plant (110, 210, 310, 410). In addition to flowing exhaust gas(es) (28, 128) in heat and energy exchange relation with inlet air through a primary energy recovery device (ERD) (30) of the gas/gas type, a supplemental ERD (50) of the gas/liquid (water) type uses water temperature to passively condense moisture from a gas stream, either of inlet air or of exhaust gas, to regulate the dew point of the air supplied to the combustion-supported reaction means (20, 120). The supplemental ERD (50) may have a gas channel (134) and a water channel (132) separated by an enthalpy exchange barrier (136), and may be relatively upstream or downstream of the primary ERD (30) relative to the flow of inlet air through the latter to regulate dew point indirectly or directly, respectively.

A ready-to-eat frozen cookie dough which is prepared from flour, butter, sugar and contains no egg, baking soda or baking powder. It is provided in a bite-sized cone-shaped cookie dough that is safe (and intended) to eat raw and formed in a size that is convenient for snacking or mixing into other products such as ice cream
摘要:
A method is disclosed where one or more biological stains are applied to living tissue displaying, or suspected of having cells, or parts of the tissue which are diseased, metaplasic, or otherwise abnormal, including but not limited to lesions which may be thought pre-cancerous or cancerous. The stained tissue is then analyzed, in situ, by reflectance spectroscopy, the results of which are then compared to a digital library of reflectance spectrums of such tissue that have been previously diagnosed by conventional histochemical techniques. The method is further disclosed as a means to monitor the progress of photodynamic therapy using the same biological stains as specific photosensitizers.

One embodiment of the invention provides a backlight for an LCD display. The backlight uses a two-dimensional array of single color or white LEDs and a diffusing or phosphor coated cover plate. Various electrical connections of the LEDs and various phosphor color-conversion techniques are described.

A package suitable as a mailer for discs such as compact discs and computer floppy discs includes a retention panel, lateral engagement sections and disc retainment tabs. The lateral engagement sections have an arc-like cutout along one edge. The lateral engagement sections are layed upon a portion of the retention panel such that the arc-like cutout of each lateral engagement section substantially corresponds to an edge of the disc. The lateral engagement sections define a space over the retention panel sufficient for accommodating and for providing lateral retention of the disc. The package also includes disc retainment tabs layed over the lateral engagement sections. The disc retainment tabs extend beyond the lateral engagement sections over at least a portion of the first surface of the retention panel to substantially engage at least a portion of a surface of the disc to retain the disc therein.

A hand held device for examining a patient's retina. In one example, the device generates visible or non-visible illuminating beams having desired spectral content. The illuminating beams are then polarized to generate polarized light beam(s) that are directed towards the patient's retina. At the patient's eye, a portion of the polarized beam is partially reflected by the cornea and travels back to the device, and another portion of the polarized beam enters the eye through the undilated pupil, illuminates the patient's retina, and generates a reflected retinal image (generally de-polarized) which also travels back to the device. The device receives the retinal image and transmits certain portions of the retinal image on through to an image detector (i.e., CCD or CMOS); and the device deflects the received polarized corneal reflections away from the image capture device. Hence, the image capture device receives retinal images but does not receive the polarized corneal reflected light.

A disc package for retaining a disc includes a retention panel having a first surface in substantial contact with a face of the disc when the disc is inserted within the package, and a cover panel which is contiguous with the retention panel and which shares with the retention panel a common edge. The common edge includes a fold line about which the cover panel is folded so as to be substantially superposed with the retention panel. The disc package also includes a disc retainment section positioned proximate a second edge of the retention panel and overlaying at least a portion of the first surface of the retention panel. At least a portion of the disc retainment section is attached to the first surface of the retention panel to enable at least a portion of the disc to be positioned between the retention panel and the engagement section to retain the disc in the disc package.

摘要:
A package suitable as a mailer for discs such as compact discs and computer floppy discs, has folded panels including a disc retention panel having a retaining tab thereon, and a pocket panel. The retention panel has raised sidewalls with edges facing each other and which are contoured to accommodate insertion of a disc therebetween. Tabs extend from an end of each of the sidewalls and toward the other of the sidewalls so as to define a space over the retention panel sufficient for accommodating a thickness of the disc and for retaining the disc in the package. The disc package has four spines at four respective side edges thereof to strengthen the disc package and to protect the disc retained in the disc package.
摘要:
The present invention provides a horn system configured to electrically activate a vehicle's horn based upon the operational state of the vehicle. The horn system is configured to detect a shift from one gear to another gear on a gearbox of a vehicle, wherein a switch is actuated to transmit an electrical signal that is indicative of a selected transmission gear. A microprocessor having an electronic module is configured to determine the selected transmission gear and sound a horn of a vehicle to indicate to others of vehicle movement to ensure safety. The microprocessor transmits a signal to the horn to produce one honk when the vehicle is activated. The microprocessor transmits a signal to sound the horn twice if the gearbox is shifted into drive. The microprocessor transmits a signal to sound the horn thrice if the gearbox is shifted into reverse.
