International Classification:

H01M 2/08
H01M 8/02

US Classification:

429035000, 429127000

Abstract:

A stress reducing mounting for an electrolyte sheet assembly in a solid electrolyte fuel cell is provided that includes a support frame or manifold having an inner edge portion that supports a peripheral portion of the sheet assembly, a seal that affixes an edge of the peripheral portion to the frame or manifold, and a stress reducer disposed around the peripheral portion of the electrolyte sheet and the frame or manifold that reduces tensile stress in the peripheral portion of the electrolyte sheet when the peripheral portion is bent by pressure differentials or thermal differential expansion. The stress reducer is at least one of a convex curved surface on the inner edge portion of the frame or manifold that makes area contact with the peripheral portion when it bends in response to a pressure differential or thermal differential expansion, and a stiffening structure on the sheet peripheral portion that renders the ceramic sheet material forming the peripheral portion more resistant to bending. The stress reducing mounting reduces cracking in the electrolyte sheet at the peripheral portions due to tensile forces.

Abstract:

A method of making articles from preformed materials includes placing a preformed material on a mold such that a non-quality region of the preformed material contacts the mold and a quality region of the preformed material is free of contact with the mold. A non-contact support is provided to the quality region to control sagging of the quality region. A reformable area of the preformed material is formed into a select shape by contacting the reformable area with a forming tool while restricting contact between the forming tool and the reformable area to the non-quality region. After the forming of the reformable area, an article is extracted from the quality region.

International Classification:

C03C 21/00
H05K 5/00
H05K 5/03

Abstract:

A strengthened article (and methods for making it) is provided that includes a glass, glass-ceramic or ceramic, having a plurality of primary surfaces, side edges, and a thickness. The article also includes a compressive stress region extending from one of the primary surfaces to a first selected depth in the article; a central region extending from a boundary located at a depth of 200 μm from the primary surfaces and the edges to the centroid of the article; and an outer region extending between the primary surfaces and edges to the boundary. Further, the maximum principal stress within the outer region is no more than two times the maximum principal stress within the central region. The primary surfaces and side edges may define a plurality of corners, and the corners may be defined by a chamfer, a fillet, or a curved shape.

H05K 5/00
H05K 5/03
C03C 21/00

Abstract:

Glass articles comprising an outer region extending from an outer surface of the glass article to a depth of layer and methods of making the same are described. The outer region is bounded by at least one edge of the glass article and is under an intrinsic neutral stress or an intrinsic compressive stress. A core region of the glass article is under a tensile stress. A compressive element applies an external compressive stress to the at least one edge and increases the intrinsic stress on the outer region and reduces the tensile stress in the core region of the glass article. The glass article may be a strengthened glass article such that the outer region is under compressive stress, and the external compressive stress applied by the compressive element has a magnitude such that the glass article has an overall internal stress defined by:where t is a thickness of the glass article and σ is the internal stress.

Abstract:

A composite thermal barrier and methods of applying the composite thermal barrier to a metallic surface within a combustion chamber of an engine. The composite thermal barrier includes at least one metallic support structure, a metallic skin, and an insulation material. The metallic support structure is connected to a metallic surface within the combustion chamber of the engine. The metallic skin is disposed adjacent to the metallic support structure to define a void space between the metallic skin and the metallic surface. The insulation material is contained within the volume to form the composite thermal barrier.
