    Abstract: A method for causing a very fine atomization or vaporization of a liquid or liquid-like fluid, where the resulting atomized or vaporized solution is entered into engine, instrument or area for the fluid to be in mixed. The ability of the near supercritical atomizer to produce very fine droplets of a wide range of liquids without any aspirant is very important for number of industrial applications. Especially when the drop size can be so finely controlled. Industries needing such fine atomization include applications such as combustion, engines, scientific equipment, chemical processing, waste disposal control, cleaning, etching, insect control, surface modification, humidification and vaporization. It is important in these applications not to cause a decomposition of the material being atomized. Staying below the supercritical point normally enables no decomposition and/or no precipitation of components within the liquid or fluid in most applications, but a very fine atomization is obtained without the need of any aspirant.

    Abstract: The materials and processes for forming fuel cell electrodes can include substrates of codeposited materials including an electrically conductive material, such as graphite, a polymer film, such as a proton-exchange membrane, and a catalytic material, such as platinum. The material may be applied to a polymer film by combustion chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) to produce a layered membrane, or the polymer may be deposited simultaneously with the catalytic coating to produce a membrane wherein the layers are intermingled. Proton exchange membranes prepared by this method are useful in the manufacture of fuel cells.
