Filed:

Sep 8, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/222183

Inventors:

Kyle Clark - Santa Cruz CA, US
Indra Heckenbach - Santa Cruz CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/00
G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707101000

Abstract:

A spreadsheet user-interfaced web-based business data publishing system allows users to input and visualize field data and analytical results with interactive charts through a familiar MS-EXCEL user interface. A plug-in module associated with the user's browser and EXCEL application enables a background, web-services connection over the Internet to a management sub-system which extracts, transforms, and publishes data. Charts are customized using a WYSIWYG interface, and business dashboards are constructed through a simple drag-n-drop process. An account management system is included with access control to protect information security. The system is used for visualizing data managing reports, providing special tools to use SAP data, access Query Cubes in SAP BW, and standard and custom R/3 reports. Once data has been extracted from SAP, it is transformed, merged with other data sources, and published as a dashboard or in a business portal. Its management and configuration functions are suited for enterprise reporting and sharing business data.

Abstract:

Water soluble catalysts, (M)meso-tetra(N-Methyl-4-Pyridyl)Porphinepentachloride (M=Fe, Co, Mn & Cu), have been incorporated into the polymer binder of oxygen reduction cathodes in membrane electrode assemblies used in PEM fuel cells and found to support encouragingly high current densities. The voltages achieved are low compared to commercial platinum catalysts but entirely consistent with the behavior observed in electroanalytical measurements of the homogeneous catalysts. A model of the dynamics of the electrode action has been developed and validated and this allows the MEA electrodes to be optimized for any chemistry that has been demonstrated in solution. It has been shown that improvements to the performance will come from modifications to the structure of the catalyst combined with optimization of the electrode structure and a well-founded pathway to practical non-platinum group metal catalysts exists.
