Abstract

An active pulse stacking system including an etalon and an electro-optical modulator apparatus combined with a pulse-forming network capable of forming and summing a sequence of time-delayed optical waveforms arising from, for example, a single laser pulse. The Pockels cell pulse stacker may attain an efficiency of about 2.6% while providing a controllable faster-than-exponential time rise in transmitted pulse intensity.

Method and apparatus for temperature-gradient aware data-placement for 3D stacked DRAMs

Patent Kotra, Jagadish B.; Rao, Karthik; Greathouse, Joseph L.

A system including a stack of two or more layers of volatile memory, such as layers of a 3D stacked DRAM memory, places data in the stack based on a temperature or a refresh rate. When a threshold is exceeded, data are moved from a first region to a second region in the stack, the second region having one or both of a second temperature lower than a first temperature of the first region or a second refresh rate lower than a first refresh rate of the first region.

Method and apparatus for thermal, mechanical, and electrical optimization of a solid-oxide fuel cell stack

Patent MacBain, John A.; Kelly, Sean M.; Mergler, Christopher

A solid-oxide fuel cell stack assembly comprising a plurality of sub-stacks, preferably two sub-stacks each containing one-half the total number of fuel cells. Cathode air and fuel gas are passed through the first sub-stack, wherein they are partially reacted and also heated. The exhaust cathode air and the exhaust fuel gas from the first sub-stack are directed to the respective inlets of the second sub-stack, becoming the supply cathode air and fuel gas therefor. A first heat exchanger in the flow paths between the sub-stacks and a second heat exchanger ahead of the sub-stacks can help to balance the performancemore »« less

Method and apparatus for forming electrode interconnect contacts for a solid-oxide fuel cell stack

Patent Keller, Joseph M.; Haltiner, Jr., Karl J.; Mukerjee, Subhasish; ...

An electrical interconnect for a solid-oxide fuel cell stack assembly, including a novel sintering paste and an improved manufacturing process for an anode and cathode electrical contacts is disclosed. On the anode side, the paste contains a metallic oxide such as NiO, and an amount of sacrificial pore-forming particles, such as carbon particles or polymer spheres, which are vaporized during sintering of the paste, resulting in a very porous connection having good electrical conductivity and good adhesion. A preferred level of pore-former in the paste is about 40 volume percent. On the cathode side, the paste contains a noble metalmore »« less

Apparatus and methods for aligning holes through wheels and spacers and stacking the wheels and spacers to form a turbine rotor

Patent Berry, Robert Randolph [Greenville, SC]; Palmer, Gene David [Clifton Park, NY]; Wilson, Ian David [Clifton Park, NY]

A gas turbine rotor stacking fixture includes upstanding bolts for reception in aligned bolt holes in superposed aft disk, wheels and spacers and upstanding alignment rods received in openings of the disk, wheels and spacers during the rotor stacking assembly. The axially registering openings enable insertion of thin-walled tubes circumferentially about the rim of the rotor, with tight tolerances to the openings to provide supply and return steam for cooling buckets. The alignment rods have radial dimensions substantially less than their dimensions in a circumferential direction to allow for radial opening misalignment due to thermal expansion, tolerance stack-up and wheel-to-spacermore »« less
