20090327302 | Synchronization and Collaboration Within Peer-to-Peer and Client/Server Environments - Tools and techniques are described for synchronization and collaboration within peer-to-peer and client/server environments. These tools may provide methods that include establishing peer-to-peer relationships between two or more client systems. These relationships enable the client systems to create respective local instances of workspaces, shared between the client systems to allow them to collaborate with one another. The client systems may participate in peer-to-peer synchronization flows with one another, with the synchronization flows representing updates made local to the shared workspaces of the client systems. The methods may also establish establishing a client/server relationship between one of the client systems and a server system. Through this client/server relationship, the client and server systems may participate in client/server synchronization flows, with these flows representing updates made to the local shared workspace at the client system. | 12-31-2009 |

20090313998 | AXIALLY SPLIT NOZZLE LINER FOR CONVERGENT NOZZLE - A convergent/divergent nozzle for a gas turbine engine includes liners that are attached to the convergent flaps and seals. The liner is formed of two separate plates. By splitting the liner into two separate plates, a thermal break is provided between the two. Thermal stresses on a downstream plate are not as readily transferred to an upstream plate. External stresses on the upstream plate are not transferred as readily to the downstream plate. The two liner plate portions, and a separate backing plate all have faces that abut and are riveted together. These faces provide a flow blocker to maintain a lower pressure downstream of the flow blocker. | 12-24-2009 |

20090294283 | Cell frame for high-pressure water electrolyzer and method for manufacturing the same - Cell frame for high-pressure water electrolyzer and method of manufacturing the same. According to one embodiment, radial openings in a water electrolyzer frame are provided by laminating half-frames, one or both of which contains grooves that may be formed by molding, machining or die-cutting. Another to another embodiment, radial openings are provided by laminating three or more thin frame portions, the center piece of which may include transverse slots that may be made by molding, machining or die-cutting. According to yet another embodiment, two or more frame portions are provided, at least one of which includes a recess for receiving a porous structure. The frames of the present invention can be additionally laminated to the membrane and electrode assembly, as well as the bipolar separator plate in the perimeter or seal area, comprised of the same or similar material as the frame, to form unitized electrolyzer stack subassemblies or full assemblies. | 12-03-2009 |
20100187102 | Universal cell frame for high-pressure water electrolyzer and electrolyzer including the same - Universal cell frame generic for use as an anode frame and as a cathode frame in a water electrolyzer. According to one embodiment, the universal cell frame includes a unitary annular member having a central opening. Four trios of transverse openings are provided in the annular member, each trio being spaced apart by about 90 degrees. A plurality of internal radial passageways fluidly interconnect the central opening and each of the transverse openings of two diametrically-opposed trios of openings, the other two trios of openings lacking corresponding radial passageways. Sealing ribs are provided on the top and bottom surfaces of the annular member. The present invention is also directed at a water electrolyzer that includes two such cell frames, one being used as the anode frame and the other being used as the cathode frame, the cathode frame being rotated 90 degrees relative to the anode frame. | 07-29-2010 |
20110020716 | FUEL CELL SYSTEM INCLUDING GAS RECYCLING AND PRESSURIZING ASSEMBLY - A fuel cell system including a gas recycling and re-pressurizing assembly. In one embodiment, the fuel cell system includes a fuel cell stack, the stack having an oxygen outlet and an oxygen inlet. The fuel cell system additionally includes two gas/water separator tanks, each of the tanks containing a quantity of water and a quantity of oxygen gas. Both tanks are capable of being fluidly connected to either the oxygen inlet or the oxygen outlet of the fuel cell stack. In addition, the two tanks are connected to one another so that water may be transferred back and forth between the two tanks. The system also includes a pump for transferring water back and forth between the tanks. In use, water is pumped from one of the tanks to the other until all of the oxygen gas present within the water-receiving tank is forced out of that tank and is conducted back to the oxygen inlet of the fuel cell stack. Once all of the oxygen gas has been forced out of the water-receiving tank, all of the water that had been present in the water-receiving tank is pumped from that tank to the other tank to expel all of the oxygen that is present in the second tank. As water is pumped out of a tank, the tank receives oxygen from the oxygen outlet of the fuel cell stack. Consequently, this process of moving water back and forth between the tanks to displace the oxygen gas present within the tanks is repeated indefinitely to recycle the oxygen back to the fuel cell stack. | 01-27-2011 |
20110104474 | Solid polymer electrolyte composite membrane comprising a porous support and a solid polymer electrolyte including a dispersed reduced noble metal or noble metal oxide - A solid polymer electrolyte composite membrane and method of manufacturing the same.
