  • Hydrogen generating fuel cell cartridges
    Patent number: 9310025
    Abstract: A gas-generating apparatus includes a cartridge including a reservoir having a first reactant and a reaction chamber, and a receiver that can include a flow control device. The receiver is adapted to receive the cartridge and to transport the first reactant to the reaction chamber after connection with the cartridge. The flow control device is adapted to stop the transport of reactant when the pressure in the reaction chamber reaches a predetermined pressure.
    Type: Grant

  • Crystal growth device and method
    Patent number: 6652647
    Abstract: The device according to invention comprises an ampoule (4) at the bottom of a crucible (3) for crystal growing by progressive solidification of a liquid, and a specific means of heating (9) to adjust the temperature of the volume of this gas pocket and establish an overpressure at the bottom of the crucible compared to the top in order to ensure a contraction of the crystal (2) at the moment of its solidification and to avoid defects in the crystals. By eliminating a pressure regulating circuit linking these two extreme regions in order to establish the overpressure directly, the lay out is considerably simplified and at the same time avoids condensations of the vaporised portions of the crystal in the pipes.
