20090130520 | FUEL BATTERY - A fuel cell that can prevent local accumulation of a reaction-irrelevant gas in the fuel cell. A gas diffusion layer is stacked on a membrane electrode assembly, which is a stack of an electrolyte membrane and electrode catalyst layers. A separator including gas flow channels is attached to the gas diffusion layer such that the gas flow channels are adjacent to the gas diffusion layer. A gas distribution channel through which gas supplied to the membrane electrode assembly flows is formed in the separator. The gas flow channels communicate with the gas distribution channel at upstream ends thereof and are substantially closed at downstream ends thereof. The gas flow channels are configured so that downstream parts of the gas flow channels and upstream parts of the gas flow channels are adjacent to each other. | 05-21-2009 |
20100003549 | FUEL CELL, FUEL CELL SYSTEM, AND CONTROL METHOD OF FUEL CELL SYSTEM - A fuel cell stack includes: a first cell having a first fuel gas flow path; and a second cell having a second fuel gas flow path constructed to have a specific flow path structure having a higher potential for a decrease in concentration of a fuel gas than that of the first fuel gas flow path during power generation. A sensor is located on the second cell to detect a decrease in concentration of the fuel gas during power generation. In one exemplified structure, a groove formed on an anode separator of the second cell as the second fuel gas flow path has a restriction element to narrow the sectional area of flow passage. A hydrogen concentration sensor is located in a non-narrowed area in the downstream of the restriction element having a lower pressure level. Impurity gas discharge control discharges an anode off gas out of the fuel cell stack, in response to detection of a decrease in hydrogen concentration to or below a preset reference level by the hydrogen concentration sensor. This arrangement of the invention enables the effective use of the fuel gas and prevents deterioration of membrane electrode assemblies of the fuel cell stack by carbon oxidation in an anode dead end-type fuel cell system. | 01-07-2010 |

20110073201 | Method and Means for Installing a Union Nut around a Valve Port - A service valve assembly for a tankless water heater incorporates one or more features that provide safer operation and easier installation of a valve assembly. Installation of a valve assembly is facilitated by foreshortening all perpendicularly protruding ports, thereby increasing the rotational freedom during installation. A main valve and a drain valve are intentionally distinguished from each other by providing different port sizes, valve handles and valve shapes that change the overall shape and characteristics of the valve assembly in such a way that accidental opening a drain port becomes much less likely. Installation can further be simplified by using a unique union nut that allows a service valve to be easily connected to an existing tankless water heater. | 03-31-2011 |

20110074149 | Method and Means for Installing a Union Nut around a Valve Port - A union nut is installed over a valve body between an outwardly flaring flange on a valve port and the valve itself. The union nut is uniquely characterized by installation threads cut into an inwardly flaring shoulder, and installation threads are also provided on the flange of the port. The shoulder can be screwed onto the flange until the union nut freely rotates about the port. A split ring is installed against a neck on the port, the neck being adjacent the flange, such that the union nut cannot threadedly engage the installation threads. The freely rotating union nut can be tightened into a suitable fitting that is part of a fluid system. | 03-31-2011 |

20080239901 | Disk drive device and data rewrite method thereof - Embodiments of the present invention help to reduce the occurrence of read hard errors in a hard disk drive (HDD). According to one embodiment, a HDD rewrites data on all data tracks of a block M when the number of write operations to the block consisting of continuous plural data tracks. The HDD further rewrites data on continuous plural data tracks and adjacent to the block. Since the number of write operations is counted every block, a memory area to register the number of write operations can be reduced. | 10-02-2008 |
20110085259 | METHOD FOR SETTING ZONE FORMAT OF A DISK FOR STORING DATA AND DISK DRIVE - A method for dividing a data area on a disk into a plurality of concentric zones and determining a format for each zone so that data tracks in the zone have the same number of data sectors. The method includes dividing a data area into a plurality of zones with provisional boundaries. The method also includes determining a linear recording density for a selected zone. The method further includes selecting the number of data sectors per data track corresponding to the determined linear recording density from specified values. Moreover, the method includes resetting a boundary of the zone at a new boundary shifted from the provisional boundary according to a selected value. | 04-14-2011 |

20100321817 | MAGNETIC DISK DRIVE AND DATA REWRITE METHODS - In one embodiment, a magnetic disk drive includes a magnetic disk having data tracks, a magnetic head, a motion mechanism for moving the magnetic head, and a controller. The controller adds a value to a rewrite parameter for a rewrite region based on a number of writes to data tracks related to the rewrite region, the value is chosen to reflect a degree of influence the number of writes have on the rewrite region, and the magnetic head rewrites data of the rewrite region when the rewrite parameter is greater than a threshold. In another embodiment, a method includes writing data tracks in a rewrite region, defining values reflecting a degree(s) of influence on the rewrite region, adding the values to a rewrite parameter upon writing data to the data tracks, determining that the rewrite parameter has reached or exceeded a threshold and rewriting data in the rewrite region. | 12-23-2010 |
