Patent number: 7803488Abstract: An electrical power plant that includes a fuel cell and at least one recycle system for recycling at least a first reactant, for reuse by the fuel cell. The fuel cell discharges a first exit stream that includes the first reactant and inerts. The recycle system comprises a separator that receives the first exit stream from the fuel cell and separates the first reactant contained in the first exit stream from inerts contained in the exit stream. The separated first reactant is directed back to the fuel cell for reuse. The remaining inerts and unseparated first reactant are discharged by the separator and then recirculated back into the separator, without progressing through the fuel cell, to separate additional first reactant from the inerts.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2007Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventor: David L.

Patent number: 6850008Abstract: A gas discharge lamp having a translucent envelope enclosing a light emitting assembly that includes a baffle and an anode separated by one or more spacers made of an electrically insulating material such as ceramic, which are oriented towards a heated cathode to receive electrons emitted therefrom. Each spacer has a front surface, a rear surface, a top surface and a bottom surface including a transverse cavity formed between the front and rear surfaces to permit electrons to flow through. The cavity extends from a first through-hole in the front surface to a second through-hole in the rear surface of the spacer. Further, the cavity includes a gap for allowing conductive materials that may sputter or evaporate from the anode or the baffle to escape from the cavity to prevent short circuiting between the anode and the baffle.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2002Date of Patent: February 1, 2005Assignee: Imaging & Sensing Technology CorporationInventor: David L.

Patent number: 6428134Abstract: Printer and method adapted to reduce variability in ejected ink drop volume. A print head includes a plurality of nozzles integrally attached to the print head, each nozzle being capable of ejecting an ink droplet therefrom. At least one of the nozzles has an undesirable characteristic producing ink droplets of non-nominal volume. A waveform generator is connected to the nozzles for generating a plurality of waveforms to be supplied to the nozzles, so that the nozzles eject the ink droplets in response to the waveforms supplied thereto. Each waveforms has a plurality of pulses controlling ink droplet volume. A controller is provided for controlling the waveforms supplied to the nozzles and for transmitting the waveforms to the nozzles in order to eject the ink droplets so as to compensate for the non-nominal volume by controlling the number of pulses in the waveform. In this manner, all nozzles produce ink droplets of nominal volume regardless of physical or electrical variations between nozzles.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1998Date of Patent: August 6, 2002Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: David L.
