Apparatus And Method For The Electrolysis Of Water Employing A Sulfonated Solid Polymer Electrolyte, Clovis Linkous
Apparatus And Method For The Electrolysis Of Water Employing A Sulfonated Solid Polymer Electrolyte, Clovis Linkous
UCF Patents
An electrolyzer is provided for electrolyzing water into its constituent elements, namely oxygen and hydrogen gas. The electrolyzer includes a vessel in which a sulfonated solid polymer electrolyte is situated. The sulfonated solid polymer electrolyte is selected from a group including sulfonated polyetheretherketone (SPEEK), sulfonated polyethersulfone (SPES), sulfonated polybenzimidazole (SPBI), sulfonated polyphenylquinoxaline (SPPQ) and sulfonated fluorinated polyimide (SFPI). The electrolyzer also includes anode and cathode electrodes situated on the electrolyte. A direct current (DC) power supply is coupled to said anode and cathode electrodes to drive the reaction. A heater heats the electrolyte and a water supply is connected to …
Method For Immobilizing Semiconductors And Noble Metals On Solid Surfaces, Nazim Muradov
Method For Immobilizing Semiconductors And Noble Metals On Solid Surfaces, Nazim Muradov
UCF Patents
A method is provided for immobilizing a semiconductor or noble metal material on a selected support material. In accordance with the method, the support is treated with a first solvent to clean and prepare the surface of the support. A powder slurry including fine particles of the semiconductor in a second solvent is then formed. The resultant slurry is applied to surface of the support. Subsequently, the slurry on the surface of the support is dried at room temperature to remove the second solvent to achieve an intermediate type of bonding between the semiconductor and the support surface.
Method For Growing A Diamond Thin Film On A Substrate By Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition, Lee Chow
Method For Growing A Diamond Thin Film On A Substrate By Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition, Lee Chow
UCF Patents
A method is provided for growing a diamond thin film on a selected substrate. First the substrate is prepared by scratching the surface thereof with diamond paste. The substrate is then confined in an enclosed space which includes high purity hydrogen and high purity methane gasses under relatively low pressure. The substrate is then irradiated with microwave energy to subject the substrate to a plasma exhibiting a first predetermined power density for a first period of time sufficient to form, on the substrate, diamond-like ball structure particles. The power density of the plasma to which the substrate is exposed is …
Method And Apparatus For Multiple Bit Encoding And Decoding Of Data Through Use Of Tree-Based Codes, Amar Mukherjee
Method And Apparatus For Multiple Bit Encoding And Decoding Of Data Through Use Of Tree-Based Codes, Amar Mukherjee
UCF Patents
A decoder/encoder apparatus is provided which can be programmed to decode data and to encode data. To encode data, a memory within the apparatus is preloaded with a first memory map which is descriptive of a selected tree-based binary code. The first memory map is a reverse tree representation of the selected tree-based binary code. Data is then provided to the apparatus and is processed as specified by the first memory map thus generating encoded data. To decode data, the same memory is preloaded with a second memory map which is descriptive of the same selected tree-based binary code. The …
