Abstract: A pyrolytic hydrogen generator comprising a pressure vessel containing a plurality of cardboard receptacles for the thermally decomposable hydrogen generating material and an associated ignition system. Also, a modular pellet tray assembly for use in the generator comprises a plurality of trays having pellet holders and associated igniters and held in a stack by support rods that also provide electrical connectivity to the trays.

Also, a modular pellet tray assembly for use in the generator comprises a plurality of trays having pellet holders and associated igniters and held in a stack by support rods that also provide electrical connectivity to the trays. Also, a pellet tray assembly comprises a plurality of pellet holders, wherein some of more outwardly disposed pellet holders contain only outwardly facing vents and are fired first. Also, the generator has an array of hydrogen generating elements arranged side by side and separated from one another into cells by partitioning provided with directional venting that only permits laterally exiting gases to vent outwardly. Alternatively, the elements can be separated into cells by a baffle system comprising gas confining and gas venting elements, which may be heat conductive.

Abstract: A tool for mating, clamping, and gluing under high pressure, two picture frame members, the ends of which have been precisely cut prior to clamping. This high pressure produces a stronger joint than is now available in existing clamps that only hold the adjacent times while the glue is setting. It also produces a faster glue setting time than conventional clamps since excess glue is squeezed out, thus increasing clamp efficiency by making it available sooner for the next glue joint. In addition, it embodies an optional vertical clamp, which, in conjunction with a transparent triangular plate, applies a vertical pressure on members that may have been slightly warped or inaccurately cut. The triangular plate is optionally used with complex profiles to distribute the pressure. This combination results in a tight aesthetic joint. Existing clamps on the market do not embody this feature.
