  • Patent number: 8415061
    Abstract: A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell; a cathode inflow water amount determining portion that determines a cathode inflow water amount after activation of the fuel cell; an obtaining portion that obtains a pore total volume of the cathode side catalyst layer; an operating condition determining portion that determines, based on the determined cathode inflow water amount and the obtained pore total volume, an operating condition of the fuel cell that includes a current value of current that flows through the fuel cell and an upper limit value of a period of time for which the current flows, for bringing the cathode inflow water amount within a range that is equal to or less than the pore total volume; and an adjusting portion that adjusts the current value and the period of time for which current of the current value flows, such that the determined operating condition is realized.

  • Publication number: 20100040777
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a solid type rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, which is prepared by adding a tackifier, a softener, and an isocyanate-based crosslinking agent reactable with active hydrogen into an acrylic rubber containing a monomer having an active hydrogen-containing functional group as a copolymerization component to thereby obtain a solventless and nonaqueous pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, and particularly it relates to a solid type rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive composition having the above-mentioned constitution, in which the above-mentioned acrylic rubber includes a copolymer containing butyl acrylate as a main component, and as the copolymerization component a monomer having a hydroxyl group or a carboxyl group as the active hydrogen-containing functional group.
