Abstract: The synthesis of a crystalline aluminophosphate or silicoaluminophosphate molecular sieve having a chabazite-type framework type is conducted in the presence of an organic directing agent having the formula (I) [R1R2R3N—R4]+X???(I) wherein R1, R2 and R3 are independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms and hydroxyalkyl groups having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms; R4 is selected from the group consisting of 4- to 8-membered cycloalkyl groups, optionally substituted by 1 to 3 alkyl groups having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms; 4- to 8-membered heterocyclic groups having from 1 to 3 heteroatoms, said heterocyclic groups being optionally substituted by 1 to 3 alkyl groups having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms and the heteroatoms in said heterocyclic groups being selected from the group consisting of O, N, and S; and aromatic groups optionally substituted by 1 to 3 alkyl groups, said alkyl groups having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms; and X? is an anion.

Abstract: A ceramic composition comprising a binary system solid solution represented by the formulae: (1-x)(Sr1-yBiy)TiO3+x(Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3 and (1-x)(Sr1-1.5yBiy)TiO3+x(Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3, wherein 0<x<1 and 0<y?0.2.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus having a fuel cell which sufficiently supplies air to the fuel cell without a separate air pump or fan. In the electronic apparatus, a cooling fan cools heat-generating parts of an external device having the fuel cell mounted thereon. A guide bracket guides wind of the cooling fan, upon having cooled the heat-generating parts, toward a fuel cell.

Abstract: A process for the production of an open-cell carbon foam from a metallic salt of a lignosulfonate is described. The process includes heating the metallic salt of a lignosulfonate from ambient temperature to a maximum temperature, greater than about 250° C., at a rate sufficiently slow as to provide for essentially uniform heating of the lignin derived material. Heating of the lignin derived material is performed in a non-oxidizing atmosphere having a pressure greater than about 100 psig. The resultant carbon foam can subsequently be optionally subjected to carbonization or graphitization temperatures as desired. The resultant carbon foam has a regular open-cell structure. Densities of the carbon foam products are commonly in the range of about 0.1 g/cm3 to 0.2 g/cm3. The carbon foams may also exhibit compressive strengths of up to about 200 psi. The carbon foam materials potentially have utility as lightweight thermal barriers and in many other of the applications associated with carbon foams.

Abstract: The present invention provides a carbon-containing refractory composition comprising a carbon-containing refractory matrix material, and a binder selected from molasses, lignosulphonate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride, and a mixture thereof. The inventive composition having satisfactory good thermal and physical properties causes no environmental hazard.

Abstract: An object is to provide a fuel cell system capable of suitably avoiding damage to the equipment caused by abnormally high pressure of fuel gas and appropriately discharge fuel gas at a safe concentration to the outside. The fuel cell system (1) includes a fuel gas passage (38) that feeds fuel gas to a fuel cell (2), a relief valve (57) that is provided in the fuel gas passage (38) and discharges fuel gas to the outside when fuel gas in the fuel gas passage (38) is pressurized to a predetermined pressure or higher, an external discharge passage (59) that is provided on the gas discharge side of the relief valve (57), and a gas processing device (19) that is provided in the external discharge passage (59) and reduces the concentration of fuel gas discharged from the relief valve (57).
