Appl. No.:

10/062355

Assignee:

CVD Equipment Corporation - Ronkonkoma NY

International Classification:

F27B 906

US Classification:

432128, 432133, 228200

Abstract:

An oven compartment in an oven for subjecting items to a selected heating sequence having a compartment container with a transport opening therein to permit selectively entering such items adjacent to first plenum structure at a perforated surface to allow providing heating fluid thereon. The first plenum structure has a material mass and a specific heat such that a rate of change of temperature of that structure exceeds one degree Centigrade per second for a selected maximum temperature differential between heating fluid and any entered items positioned adjacent to the perforated surface at selected heating fluid pressures at that perforated surface. A method for heating such items with a heating fluid previously heated by a heater, to an extent determined by operating a heater control, directed onto such items is based on obtaining a control representation of a selected set of values for the heater control versus time based on a heating specification for a selected kind of item to be heated. Heating fluid is directed onto such an item with this heating fluid having been previously heated by the heater through operating the heater control to follow the control representation but as adjusted based on measurements of heating fluid near the perforated surface.

International Classification:

H01M 4/82
H01M 6/00

US Classification:

296232, 296231, 429 27

Abstract:

A method is presented for preconditioning fuel cell membrane electrode assemblies for use in fuel cell systems which includes exposure to saturated steam at superatmospheric pressures, typically for at least 10 minutes and more typically at least 25 minutes. Typically, the preconditioning method according to the present invention results in reduction of the start up or conditioning time required when the MEA's are first installed in a fuel cell system and improvement of overall performance, as reflected in the achievement of high current density at relatively high voltage. The method may additionally include the step of enclosing the fuel cell membrane electrode assembly in a container which is substantially impervious to water before the fuel cell membrane electrode assembly returns to ambient temperature.

International Classification:

US Classification:

395829

Abstract:

A method for dynamically translating bus address within a computer system is disclosed. In accordance with the method and system of the present invention, a computer system has a multiple of buses connected in a hierarchial manner. Information concerning a bus and a device attached to a bus are stored in a Hardware Namespace. In response to a request for an access to a device attached to one of the buses for the first time, a determination is made from the Hardware Namespace as to whether or not there is resource available for the device in a parent bus of the device. If there is resource available in the parent bus for the device, another determination is made from the Hardware Namespace as to whether or not the resource is exclusively allocated in the parent bus for the device. If the resource is exclusively allocated in the parent bus for the device, the device is configured according to the available resource. If the resource is not exclusively allocated in the parent bus for the device, the process resolves through each level of buses in the hierarchy until a bus having a resource that can be allocated for the device is found such that the device can be added to any one of the buses within the computer system independent of bus technology.

Assignee:

Research, Incorporated - Eden Prairie MN

International Classification:

F27B 906

US Classification:

219388

Abstract:

A pass-through convection oven having a series of gas jet distributors and an exhaust system adjacent later distributors in the series to gather gas for the initial distributors in the series. A distributor in the series is formed of a pair of plenums in series in the gas flow path with a cumulative area of the passageway between them exceeding the cumulative area of the orifice from which the gas jets are formed in that distributor.

Abstract:

A paving machine can include a frame; a screed coupled to the frame, the screed including one or more screed plates; one or more movable extender mechanisms located at a back end of each screed plate and configured to extend and retract up and down beneath the screed plate; and a controller configured to extend the one or more extender mechanisms a pre-determined distance before the screed begins a paving operation and to retract the one or more extender mechanisms after the screed has begun the paving operation.
