Abstract: A solid oxide fuel cell generator is provided for electrochemically reacting a fuel gas with a flowing oxidant gas at an elevated temperature to produce power. The generator includes a generator section receiving a fuel gas and a plurality of elongated fuel cells extending through the generator section and having opposing open fuel cell ends for directing an oxidant gas between opposing plena in the generator. A sealant defines a seal on the fuel cells adjacent at least one of the fuel cell ends. The sealant is a modified lanthanum borate aluminosilicate glass composition having a minimal amount of boron oxide and silica, and in which the sealant maintains substantially constant physical characteristics throughout multiple thermal cycles.

Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention disclose a system for data communications, a router, and a method for data transmission and mobility management. The method for data transmission includes: receiving, by a first AR, data; identifying the transmission route based on the results of querying the local mapping information base; and transmitting data, where the local mapping information base stores the mappings between IDs and LLs. The embodiments of the present invention completely separate the ID, LL, and GL of the terminal, and thus solve the problems with the routing table expansion and scalability faced by the Internet. In this way, the terminal data can be transmitted without changing the terminal or the routing protocol stack; in addition, the hierarchical mapping helps reduces the amount of locally and globally stored information, and thus accelerating the query.

Abstract: A fuel cell for a fuel cell generator including a housing including a gas flow path for receiving a fuel from a fuel source and directing the fuel across the fuel cell. The fuel cell includes an elongate member including opposing first and second ends and defining an interior cathode portion and an exterior anode portion. The interior cathode portion includes an electrode in contact with an oxidant flow path. The exterior anode portion includes an electrode in contact with the fuel in the gas flow path. The anode portion includes a catalyst material for effecting fuel reformation along the fuel cell between the opposing ends. A fuel reformation control layer is applied over the catalyst material for reducing a rate of fuel reformation on the fuel cell. The control layer effects a variable reformation rate along the length of the fuel cell.

Abstract: A method of improving energy consumption and/or melt quality of injection molding or extrusion machine can include controlling energy input to the melt from screw drive and heat sources. One or more sensors can measure a present value of at least one process parameter associated with the melt. A control algorithm can compare the present value of melt with a set value. If the present value deviates from the set value by more than a predetermined amount, the set value of at least one operating parameter can be adjusted. The algorithm can determine energy transferred to melt material from thermal and mechanical sources, and adjust set values to optimize energy consumption or improve melt quality. Process parameters can include melt temperature, melt quality characterized value, prospective throughput or injection cycle time, or prospective energy consumption value.

Abstract: A method is provided for improving melt quality in an injection unit. A closed loop control system regulates operation of the injection unit in accordance with a reference value for at least one operating parameter. A sensor measures the present value of a load upon the motor which drives an injection screw during operation of the injection unit. A processor compares the present value of the load to a reference value for the load. If the present value of the load deviates from the reference value of the load by more than a predetermined amount, then the processor adjusting the reference value of the at least one operating parameter. Operating parameters can include barrel temperature, back pressure and screw RPMs.

Abstract: A balun and method for electrically connect a twisted pair cable (2) to a coaxial cable (3) are disclosed. The twisted pair cable (2) has two active wires (4, 5), an earthing wire (6) and shielding (7). The balun includes a hollow conductive cover (8) defining first and second apertures (9, 10); the first aperture (9) being sized to accept the twisted pair cable (2). The cover (8), when in use, houses an earthing means (11) for electrically connecting the earthing wire (6) and/or shielding (7) to the cover (8). The cover, when in use, further houses first mounting means (12) adapted to mount the active wires (4, 5) in close proximity to the second aperture (10); and a body (13) housing second mounting means (14) adapted to mount a pair of first connectors (15, 16) projecting from the body. The body further houses a first transformer (17) electrically connected to the first connectors (15, 16).
