Abstract:
An electrode structure for a low voltage, high current electrical production device includes a charge transfer member (612). An electrically conductive member (605) having a non-uniform resistance is disposed on the charge transfer member 612 for optimizing current coupling.
Abstract:
Solid oxide fuel cell assemblies comprise packets of multi-cell-sheet devices based on compliant solid oxide electrolyte sheets that form a fuel chamber and support anodes interiorly and cathodes exteriorly of the chamber that can be electrically interconnected to provide a compact, high voltage power-generating unit; added frames can support the oxide sheets and incorporate fuel supply and air supply conduits or manifolds permitting stacking of the assemblies into fuel cell stacks of any required size and power-generating capacity.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for use as a support for high density nucleic acid arrays comprising a substrate of inorganic material having a substantially planar porous top surface and a cationic polymer layer bonded to the top surface. Further disclosed is a method for performing a hybridization assay using the substrate of the present invention along with index matching fluids.
Abstract:
A honeycomb structure for a diesel engine or an automotive engine where the wall thickness is varied in a controlled manner from the front surface to the back of the honeycomb. One example is grading the web thickness continuously from thin webs on the front of the DPF to thick webs on the back of the DPF. Another example is to make a two layer honeycomb with thinner walls and/or perhaps even lower cell density on the upstream side of the honeycomb. This provides a lower thermal mass front while retaining the thicker webs and higher thermal mass at the back of the honeycomb. The honeycomb structure has a thermal mass or heat capacity ranging from above 8.5 x 10-3cal/cubic cm-K to below 0.25 cal/cubic cm-K along an axis from the inlet end to the outlet end.
