Abstract: A BCC phase hydrogen storage alloy capable of storing approximately 4.0 wt. % hydrogen and delivering reversibly up to 3.0 wt. % hydrogen at temperatures up to 110° C. The hydrogen storage alloys also possess excellent kinetics whereby up to 80% of the hydrogen storage capacity of the hydrogen storage alloy may be reached in 30 seconds and 80% of the total hydrogen storage capacity may be desorbed from the hydrogen storage alloy in 90 seconds. The hydrogen storage alloys also have excellent stability which provides for long cycle life.

Abstract: A glare shield system is provided for detachable connection to a conventional automotive vehicle sun visor. The glare shield is formed of an elongated, translucent, glare-reducing material. The shield is pivotally connected to the lower edge portion of the sun visor by a bracket formed of an elongated strip having springy clips on its opposite ends for attaching and detaching the bracket to the sun visor. A pair of spaced-apart lugs are formed on the opposite ends of the bracket strip and provide sockets to receive a pair of laterally extending pivot pins formed on the opposite ends of the glare shield. Thus, the glare shield may be pivoted, relative to the bracket, into a non-use position wherein it overlaps the bracket strip and is held by a suitable latch. Alternatively, the shield may be pivoted downwardly, relative to the bracket, into a position where it extends downwardly from the visor to obstruct glare.
