  • Publication number: 20190177861
    Abstract: A method of forming a hydrocarbon product and hydrogen gas comprises introducing CH4 to a positive electrode of an electrochemical cell comprising the positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a proton-conducting membrane between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The proton-conducting membrane comprises an electrolyte material having an ionic conductivity greater than or equal to about 10?2 S/cm at one or more temperatures within a range of from about 150° C. to about 600° C. A potential difference is applied between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the electrochemical cell to produce the hydrocarbon product and the hydrogen gas. A CH4 activation system and an electrochemical cell are also described.

  • Publication number: 20190140287
    Abstract: A hybrid catalyst coating composed of a conformal thin film with exsoluted PrOx nano-particles. The conformal PNM thin film can be a perovskite composition of PrNi0.5Mn0.5O3 (PNM). The PrOx nano-particles dramatically enhance the oxygen reduction reaction kinetics via a high concentration of oxygen vacancies while the thin PNM film effectively suppresses strontium segregation from the cathode of an intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cell.

  • Patent number: 10198531
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide information processing systems and methods for proliferating testing data based on sample testing data. In one embodiment, a difference is determined by comparing a desired query result to a query result acquired by executing a query statement on sample testing data. Sample testing data can then be proliferated based, at least in part, on the difference and data generation constraint conditions.

  • Patent number: 9880011
    Abstract: Simplification of trajectory representation is provided. Trajectories represented by a set of points on a map are obtained. Common route elements are identified for the trajectories based on the set of points. Each of the common route elements represents a geospatial area in which at least a predetermined number of the trajectories are identical. Simplified representations of the trajectories are generated based on the identified common route elements.
