Abstract: A sealing material for solid oxide fuel cells is provided, which is composed of around 60% to 80% by weight of glass, around 20% to 30% by weight of alcohol, around 0.5% to 3% by weight of ethyl celluloid as a binder, and around 0.01% to 0.1% by weight of polyethylene glycol as a plasticizer.

Abstract: Three bonding materials are provided on a first plate. The first bonding material is located between the second and third bonding materials. The first bonding material is thicker than the other bonding materials. A second plate is provided on the first bonding material. All of the plates and the bonding materials are heated to the softening point of the first bonding material. A load is exerted on the first bonding material to reduce the thickness of the first bonding material to that of the second and third bonding materials and transfer the load to the second and third bonding materials from the first bonding material. The temperature is raised to and kept at the crystallization point of the first bonding material. The temperature is raised to the wetting point of the second and third bonding materials.

Abstract: A mobile device with a port map maintaining a list of open ports for incoming data packets is provided. A first processor receives and demodulates inbound signals into data packets. A second processor processes at least one application bound to at least one open port. The second processor enters a sleep mode to reduce power consumption if no data packet is sent from the first processor to the second processor. When the first processor receives an inbound request signal, the first processor demodulates the inbound request signal into a first data packet targeted to a destination port, and looks up the port map to determine whether the destination port is listed in the port map. If the destination port is not listed in the port map, the first processor transmits a response signal to the sender of the inbound request signal or omits the inbound request signal without waking up the second processor.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for testing the performance of a sealant for solid oxide fuel cell packs. The apparatus includes an oven including a base, a platform provided on the base and a frame connected to the platform. An elevator is used to raise and lower the oven. A pressuring and testing chamber is provided on the platform. The pressuring and testing chamber includes a first body and a second body connected to the first body. A carrier is provided between the first and second bodies. The carrier includes a first plate and a second plate so that the sealant can be provided between the first and second plates. A pusher includes an end connected to the frame and another end for pushing the second plate. A pusher-driving unit is connected to the frame for raising and lowering the pusher.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for measuring the permeability of an anode of a solid oxide fuel cell. The apparatus includes a specimen container, an air reservoir and a recorder. The specimen container includes a can and a cover. The can includes a tunnel defined therein and a cavity in communication with the tunnel. The anode can be disposed in the cavity. The cover includes a tunnel defined therein and a bulger inserted in the cavity and pressed against the anode so that air can penetrate the anode and travel into the tunnel of the can from the tunnel of the cover. The air reservoir is in communication with the cover. The recorder measures and records the pressure and temperature of air in the air reservoir before and after the air is introduced into the specimen container from the air reservoir.

Abstract: A power control method of a mobile device includes the following steps. First, a power management module receives an externally triggered power control signal and accordingly generates an interrupt request (IRQ) at a first time point. Next, a processing unit receives the IRQ and accordingly executes a synchronization processing procedure. A file system timely stores data from a temporary cache area to a permanent storing area according to the synchronization processing procedure. Furthermore, a calculating unit calculates a first time period between a present time point and the first time point and determines whether the calculating unit reaches a maximum waiting period. When the maximum waiting period is reached, the power management module performs a power operation according to the power control signal.
