  • Publication number: 20080171189
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for detecting the defects of a wall used for enclosing a space where—generally liquid—materials are stored, with a coating on its internal side, especially a container wall, or/and the defects in the coating. In numerous fields of life all types of different materials, such as chemicals, solvents, petroleum oil and petroleum fractions, etc. need to be stored in a way excluding the possibility of these materials getting into the environment or other materials from the environment intermixing with the stored materials. In most cases such materials are stored in containers made of different materials, mostly metal, the walls of which holes may appear either as a result of corrosion or other damage, and through the appearing holes materials can flow either from outside into the container or from inside the container into the environment, and so the stored material may become unsuitable for use or serious environmental pollution may occur.

    Abstract: An antireflective coating applied onto a substrate in the form of at least one layer of nanoparticles arranged on the aforementioned substrate at equal distances from each other in accordance with a specific nanostructure. The nanoparticles are made from a material that under effect of incident light generates between the neighboring particles optical resonance interaction with a frequency that belongs to a visible optical range. The interaction between the nanoparticles reduces reflection of the incident light. The nanoparticles have a radius in the range of 10 to 100 nm and a pitch between the adjacent particles that ranges between 1.5 diameters to several diameters.

    Abstract: A MTJ structure is disclosed in which the seed layer is made of a lower Ta layer, a middle Hf layer, and an upper NiFe or NiFeX layer where X is Co, Cr, or Cu. Optionally, Zr, Cr, HfZr, or HfCr may be employed as the middle layer and materials having FCC structures such as CoFe and Cu may be used as the upper layer. As a result, the overlying layers in a TMR sensor will be smoother and less pin dispersion is observed. The Hex/Hc ratio is increased relative to that for a MTJ having a conventional Ta/Ru seed layer configuration. The trilayer seed configuration is especially effective when an IrMn AFM layer is grown thereon and thereby reduces Hin between the overlying pinned layer and free layer. Ni content in the NiFe or NiFeX middle layer is above 30 atomic % and preferably >80 atomic %.

  • Publication number: 20080171229
    Abstract: The current invention provides a persistent phosphor blend, along with techniques for making and using the blend. The persistent phosphor blend consists of at least one persistent phosphor combined with at least one other phosphor, where the excitation spectra of the one or more other phosphors overlap the emission spectra of the one or more persistent phosphors. The choice of the phosphors used allows the decay time and emission colors to be tuned for the specific application. In another embodiment, the invention provides a method for making persistent phosphor blends with tunable colors. In yet another embodiment, applications for such a persistent phosphor blend are provided.

  • Publication number: 20080171235
    Abstract: A rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery is constructed with a bare cell, a protective circuit board electrically connected to the bare cell, a lead plate located between the bare cell and the protective circuit board, and a combining case covering an upper end of the bare cell, the protective circuit board and the lead plate. The lead plate is constructed with a first plate electrically connected to the protective circuit board, a second plate electrically connected to the bare cell, and an inside bending part connected between the first plate and the second plate. The first plate of the lead plate is bent around the inside bending part at 180 degrees such that the bare cell is coupled with the protective circuit board in parallel. Therefore, a distance between the bare cell and the protective circuit is reduced, and the capacity per volume of the rechargeable battery is increased.

  • Publication number: 20080171238
    Abstract: The heat from various portions of a fuel cell power plant (110) are redistributed in a manner allowing desired modification of/to the heat removal means (152, 156), e. g., radiator (152), included in the coolant loop for the fuel cell stack assembly (CSA) (12). A humidifier (70) added in the coolant loop (114) and the inlet oxidant (air) stream (134?) serves to relatively increase the humidification of the inlet air while removing heat from the coolant prior to entering the CSA (12). The combined effects are to relatively increase the temperature of the coolant exiting the CSA without similarly increasing the temperature of the coolant entering the CSA, and to relatively increase the temperature differential (“pinch”) between the coolant entering the heat removal means and the cooling air of the heat removal means (152, 156). This latter effect permits a relative reduction in the size/capacity of the heat removal means (152, 156).
