| 20110008686 | PERFORMANCE RECOVERY OF A FUEL CELL - A method of improving the electrical performance of an operating fuel cell catalyst-containing cathode in a fuel cell connected to an electrical load by: reducing the flow of air to the cathode; disconnecting the load from the fuel cell; connecting a potentiostat to the fuel cell; cycling an applied voltage, current, or power to the fuel cell one or more times; disconnecting the potentiostat from the fuel cell; reconnecting the load to the fuel cell; and resuming the flow of air to the cathode. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20100191468 | Estimating Photospheric Velocities for Space-Weather Prediction - A computer-implemented method for accurately estimating plasma velocities on the photosphere based on magnetic field data from vector magnetograms. Spatial and temporal derivatives of the magnetic field components are computed and a structure tensor containing terms that specifically include the horizontal magnetic field components is constructed. The structure tensor is convolved with a window function and a least-squares solution based on the convolved structure tensor is found. The solution includes the plasma velocities in the horizontal and vertical directions at the center of the window. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100176767 | Composite Electrode Structure - A method of forming a composite involving the steps of providing a porous carbon electrode structure having a surface and pores wherein the pores have an average diameter that ranges from about 2 nm to about 1 μm, depositing a coating comprising FeO | 07-15-2010 |
