20080206610Method of Operating an Electrochemical Device Including Mass Flow and Electrical Parameter Controls - This invention relates to a method of operating an electrochemical device. The method includes controlling the mass flow of fuel to the device so that the mass flow varies during the operation of the device. In combination with the mass flow control, the method also includes controlling an electrical parameter of the device so that the electrical parameter varies during the operation of the device. Another embodiment includes a method of operating a fuel cell using a flow of fuel or oxidant that contains a contaminant, and using a controller to control the flow and an electrical parameter of the fuel cell. A further embodiment includes a method of operating an electrochemical device using reactants that include a reactant causing an undesired electrochemical reaction, and using a controller to control the flow of reactants and an electrical parameter of the device.08-28-2008
20090205973METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING FERRATE(VI) - An undivided electrochemical cell. The electrochemical cell includes a housing defining an undivided chamber, the housing having one electrolyte inlet and at least two electrolyte outlets; an anode in the chamber; a cathode in the chamber; and an electrolyte in the chamber, wherein the anode and the cathode are not gas diffusion electrodes. The invention also involves a method of operating an electrochemical cell, and methods for making ferrate(VI).08-20-2009
20090216060DECONTAMINANT - Method and composition for decomposing and detoxifying chemical warfare agents, organic toxic compounds (e.g., pesticides), and for removal of contaminants in materials including fuels. The method and composition are based on ferrate (VI). The ferrate is typically applied to a contaminated surface or volume with a phase transfer catalyst and/or with a carrier.08-27-2009

20090212518MEDICAL CART AND KEYBOARD TRAY - A medical cart comprising a base is supported on wheels. A first arm is supported on a track for linear movement in a first direction that supports a first platform. The arm also supports a second platform that is mounted for linear movement in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The first platform is mounted on a tilt assembly such that the angle of the first platform relative to the second platform can be adjusted.08-27-2009
20090212670MEDICAL CART AND DRAWER ASSEMBLY AND LOCK - The drawer assembly comprises a cabinet defining an internal space. A shelf is supported in the cabinet. The shelf supports a latch that is movable between a first position and a second position. A drawer is supported on the shelf where the drawer has a latch receiving structure formed thereon. The latch receiving structure includes a first surface engageable with the latch when the latch is in the first position and a second surface also engageable with the latch when the latch is in the first position such that the drawer can be locked relative to the cabinet in one of two positions. In one embodiment the drawer is supported on a mobile medical cart. The cart may also include a computer such as a PC, wireless communications systems to communicate with a wider network system, a system controller and/or other systems.08-27-2009

20080261745POWER TAKEOFF AND GEARBOX - A power takeoff and gearbox is configured for use with an associated vehicle transmission to provide rotational power to an associated auxiliary component. The power takeoff and gearbox includes a housing. An input gear set includes an input gear and a transfer gear mounted for common rotation. The input gear is driven by the associated vehicle transmission. A primary drive gear is disposed on a drive shaft. The primary drive gear is meshed with the transfer gear for rotation with the transfer gear. A planetary gear system includes a carrier, a plurality of planet gears mounted for rotation within the carrier and a sun gear disposed central to the planet gears. The carrier is connected to the primary drive shaft for rotation with the shaft and for rotation of the planet gears relative to the carrier. An output is mounted to the sun gear for providing rotational power to the associated auxiliary component. The input gear set and the output are disposed, at least in part, within the housing and the primary drive gear and the planetary gear system are disposed within the housing. A clutch can also be included mounted within the housing.10-23-2008
