Abstract: This invention relates to apparatuses, systems and methods for the production and separation of gases in membraneless liquid alkaline electrolysis, and particularly to electrodes and electrode assemblies for use in a divergent electrolytic flow-through apparatus. The apparatus according to the invention comprises an inlet chamber; first and second permeable electrodes each having first and second sides and defining an inner aperture surrounding the inner region, the first sides of the first and second electrodes arranged to face each other to define an electrode gap within the inlet chamber; a first electrolytic solution inlet into the outer region and a second electrolytic solution inlet into the inner region; a first outlet in fluid flow communication with the second side of the first electrode, and a second outlet in fluid flow communication with the second side of the second electrode.

Abstract: A system for selectively reading code symbols includes a code-symbol-capturing subsystem for acquiring information about code symbols within the code-symbol-capturing subsystem's field of view. The system also includes a code-symbol-decoding processor that detects a marked region of interest within the code-symbol-capturing subsystem's field of view. After initialization, the code-symbol-decoding processor decodes only those code symbols falling within the marked region of interest.
