Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of synthesizing a nano-sized transition metal catalyst on a carbon support, including dissolving a stabilizer in ethanol thus preparing a mixture solution, adding a support to the mixture solution thus preparing a dispersion solution, dissolving a transition metal precursor in ethanol thus preparing a precursor solution, mixing the precursor solution with the dispersion solution with stirring, and then performing reduction, thus preparing the nano-sized transition metal catalyst. This method enables the synthesis of transition metal nanoparticles supported on carbon powder having a narrow particle size distribution and a wide degree of dispersion through a simple process, and is thus usefully applied to the formation of an electrode material or the like of a fuel cell.
Abstract:
A method of accurately detecting rapid motion as well as slow motion using two field memories in an interlaced-progressive scanning converter for changing an interlaced-scanned signal into a progressive-scanned signal. A threshold coefficient, which is used for comparison to a difference between temporal interpolation and spatial interpolation values to determine whether a picture is in motion, is determined dynamically in the disclosed method, rather than being a fixed, predetermined value. The threshold coefficient is determined based upon a degree of correlation between data of pixels above and below a pixel to be interpolated. Detection of whether the picture is stationary is based upon the difference between the data of pixels above and below the pixel to be interpolated is greater than a stationary coefficient. The threshold coefficient is maintained as being no less than the value of the stationary coefficient.
Abstract:
A method of preparing a platinum alloy catalyst for a fuel cell electrode includes: (a) adding a carbon material, a platinum precursor, and a transition metal precursor to ethanol and dispersing the mixture; (b) adding sodium acetate powder or an ammonia solution containing ethanol as a solvent to the solution obtained in step (a) and stirring the resulting solution; (c) adding sodium borohydride to the solution obtained in step (b) and reducing the metal ions of the platinum precursor and the transition metal precursor; and (d) obtaining a platinum alloy catalyst in the form of powder through washing and drying processes. This method can reduce the amount of platinum to be used for manufacturing a fuel cell electrode and thereby reduce the manufacturing cost.
Abstract:
A method for interpolating pixel data of an omitted line by use of pixel data from an interlaced scan and an apparatus therefor are described. The pixel interpolation method and apparatus efficiently interpolate edges having various slopes according to a degree of correlation. When an edge has a gentle slope due to extensive correlation, interpolation is performed using a wide-vector. When an error occurs due to high-frequency components such as when bidirectional edges are found, simple vertical interpolation is performed.
