Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the sagging of an intermediate region of a fusion pipe occurring in gravity in manufacturing sheet glass by using the fusion pipe. SOLUTION: Both end regions (23) of the fusion pipe (13) are supported and axial forces (F) which are the same in the magnitude and are of the directions opposite to each other are impressed to the segments in the regions at both ends. The axial forces (F) are impressed to the lower position of a neutral axis (19) of the fusion pipe (13) to generate the bending moment of the direction countering the sagging by the gravity in the intermediate region of the fusion pipe (13).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solid electrolyte fuel cell capable of enduring a very advanced heating cycle and/or a heat cycle. SOLUTION: A fuel cell structure 25 having a non-plane inorganic electrolyte film which gives resistance with an advanced mechanical and thermal shock is provided for high temperature fuel cell application where liquid fuel (diesel oil and gasoline) and air are used for a power-generating system of an automobile, for example, a power system of the automobile and other power systems requiring an intermittent high-temperature fuel cell operation only.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide isopipes which exhibit reduced sag for use in making sheet glass by a fusion process. SOLUTION: The isopipes include a zircon refractory which has a mean creep rate (MCR) at 1,180°C and 1.73 MPa (250 psi) and a 95% confidence band (CB) for the mean creep rate such that the ratio of CB to MCR is less than 0.5, the MCR and the CB both being determined using a power law model. The zircon refractory can contain titania (TiO 2 ) at a concentration greater than 0.2 wt.% and less than 0.4 wt.%. The concentration of the titania in this range causes the zircon refractory to exhibit a lower mean creep rate than zircon refractories previously used to make isopipes. In addition, the variation in mean creep rate is also reduced which reduces the chances that the zircon refractory of a particular isopipe will have an abnormally high creep rate and thus exhibits unacceptable sag prematurely.

Abstract:
Fuel cell designs incorporating non-planar inorganic electrolyte membranes offer improved mechanical and thermal shock resistance for mobile power generation systems, e.g., for high temperature fuel cell applications using liquid fuel (diesel and gasoline) and air for automobile power plants and other power systems requiring only intermittent high-temperature fuel cell operation.
