Abstract: Simplified methods are disclosed for preparing a catalyst coated membrane that is reinforced with a porous polymer sheet (e.g. an expanded polymer sheet) for use in solid polymer electrolyte fuel cells. The methods involve forming a solid polymer electrolyte membrane by coating membrane ionomer solution onto a first catalyst layer and then applying the porous polymer sheet to the membrane ionomer solution coating, while it is still wet, such that the membrane ionomer solution only partially fills the pores of the porous polymer sheet. A second catalyst ink is then applied which fills the remaining pores of the porous polymer sheet. Not only are such methods simpler than many conventional methods, but surprisingly this can result in a marked improvement in fuel cell performance characteristics.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and device for on-line detection of the salinity of seawater. A sweep frequency synchronous signal controls a sweep frequency laser light source such that the wavelength of a frequency modulation light wave output by the sweep frequency laser light source is a periodic saw-tooth wave signal. The frequency modulation light wave is divided into two beams, respectively transmitted to a refractive index probe and a temperature probe in seawater. The refractive index probe is an interference instrument structure, and the frequency value of an interference light intensity signal fed back by the refractive index probe is related to the refractive index of seawater. The refractive index of seawater is calculated by performing discrete Fourier transformation on the interference light intensity signal.

Abstract: A cooling device for a heat source, such as an electronic component, has a single or set of nano- and/or micro-sized channel(s) connected to a single or multiple reservoir(s). The heat source causes nucleation within a channel, and a vapor bubble forms removing heat from the heat source via evaporation of liquid to vapor in the bubble and condensation of the generated vapor at the cooler ends of the bubble. Thus, the channel operates as a passive heat pipe and removes heat from the source by passively circulating the cooling fluid between the vapor bubble and the reservoir(s).
