Combined light source for projection display

High pressure mercury arc lamps are commonly used as the illumination source in many projection systems. Such lamps may be deficient in either output power or spectrum, and so it is desirable to combine the light from the lamp with light from a second light generator. The second light generator may be another mercury lamp or a solid state source, such as one or more light emitting diodes. Different ways of combining light from two light generators are described. The second light source may be an arrangement of a number of red LEDs that supplements the red light produced by the mercury light. A tunnel integrator may be used to homogenize the combined light beam and to reduce the angular separation between the light beams from the two light generators.

Electrode for fuel cell, membrane electrode composite and fuel cell, and method for manufacturing them

A fuel cell, which can supply stable output even at elevated temperatures and can maintain its power generation performance over a long period of time, can be realized by an electrode for a fuel cell comprising a catalyst layer formed of a catalyst composite and a binder, the catalyst composite comprising a proton-conductive inorganic oxide and an oxidation-reduction catalyst phase supported on the proton-conductive inorganic oxide, the proton-conductive inorganic oxide comprising a catalyst carrier selected from tin(Sn)-doped In2O3, fluorine(F)-doped SnO2, and antimony(Sb)-doped SnO2 and an oxide particle phase chemically bonded to the surface of the catalyst carrier. The catalyst composite is manufactured by dispersing a catalyst carrier in a solution containing a material as a starting material for an oxide particle phase, heat treating the dispersion to form a proton-conductive inorganic oxide, further dispersing the proton-conductive inorganic oxide in a catalyst precursor-containing solution, and subjecting the dispersion to heat treatment or pH adjustment to deposit a catalyst phase.

Three-dimensional optical data storage in fluorescent dye-doped photopolymer

A host matrix—normally a binder such as cellulose acetate propionate in a solvent such as acetone—contains a radiation-polymerizable photopolymer—normally a monomer like dipentaerythritol pentaacrylate in combination with a crosslinker like 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone, an initiator like N-phenyl glycine, and / or a photosensitizer like camphor quinone—that is initially uniformly doped with a stable dye—typically Rhodamine B and / or Bodipy Red—that photoinitiates photopolymerization. Upon selective exposure of certain regions of the matrix by radiation, most normally laser light radiation, the dye will initially migrate and redistribute itself to radiatively-exposed regions until, dye migration being substantially complete, photopolymerization will occur, locking the migrated dye in place at a relatively higher concentration at the selectively exposed regions. The dye therein stably located can be optically detected by, preferably, light-radiation-stimulated fluorescence. The medium thus serves as an optical memory, including of the volume type, that can be reliably permanently written quickly and inexpensively at high density.

Mobile information apparatus, method and program for optimizing the charge state of the apparatus, and battery management server, method and program using the server to optimize the charge state of battery-powered electrical apparatus

A schedule recording section (4) records a user's schedule. A SOC (state-of-charge) optimization planning section (5) plans the SOC of a rechargeable battery (21) based on the user's schedule. The planned control target SOC is optimized through a comparison between the continuous charging characteristic of the rechargeable battery (21) and the length of an operable period or the amount of electric power to be secured at the time of battery-powered operation. For example, a control target SOC is set at a full charge in the proximity of the period during which a battery-powered operation time is expected to be long. A control target SOC is set lower enough than a full charge in the period during which a connection to an external power supply (A) by the AC adapter (11) is expected to continue for a long time. A power-supply control section (3) controls the charge and discharge of the rechargeable battery (21) according to a plan for the optimization of the SOC.

Ag-based reflection film and method for preparing the same

An Ag-based reflection film consists of a laminate film comprising an Ag or Ag-alloy film provided thereon with a quite thin capping layer. The Ag-based reflection film can be prepared by, for instance, forming, on a substrate, an Ag or Ag-alloy film according to the sputtering technique, while using a sputtering target, for instance, having a composition corresponding to that of the pure Ag film, and Ar gas as a sputtering gas, while adding an additional gas such as O2, only at the initial stage of the Ag or Ag-alloy film-forming step; and then forming a quite thin capping layer, on the Ag or Ag-alloy film, according to the sputtering technique, while using a sputtering target having a composition corresponding to that of the capping layer, and Ar gas as a sputtering gas, while if necessary adding an additional gas such as O2. The Ag-based reflection film can maintain a high reflectance without causing any deterioration thereof even under the severe conditions such as those for the hydrogen sulfide-exposure test because of the presence of a quite thin capping layer. The reflection film may be applied to, for instance, those used for display devices and optics-relating ones.

Method for reactivating solid catalysts used in alkylation reactions

A method for reactivating a solid alkylation catalyst is provided which can be performed within a reactor that contains the alkylation catalyst or outside the reactor. Effective catalyst reactivation is achieved whether the catalyst is completely deactivated or partially deactivated. A fluid reactivating agent is employed to dissolve catalyst fouling agents and also to react with such agents and carry away the reaction products. The deactivated catalyst is contacted with the fluid reactivating agent under pressure and temperature conditions such that the fluid reactivating agent is dense enough to effectively dissolve the fouling agents and any reaction products of the fouling agents and the reactivating agent. Useful pressures and temperatures for reactivation include near-critical, critical, and supercritical pressures and temperatures for the reactivating agent. The fluid reactivating agent can include, for example, a branched paraffin containing at least one tertiary carbon atom, or a compound that can be isomerized to a molecule containing at least one tertiary carbon atom.
