20130133483 | Synthesis of Nanoparticles Using Reducing Gases - Selective gas-reducing methods for making shape-defined metal-based nanoparticles. By avoiding the use of solid or liquid reducing reagents, the gas reducing reagent can be used to make shape well-defined metal- and metal alloy-based nanoparticles without producing contaminates in solution. Therefore, the post-synthesis process including surface treatment become simple or unnecessary. Weak capping reagents can be used for preventing nanoparticles from aggregation, which makes the further removing the capping reagents easier. The selective gas-reducing technique represents a new concept for shape control of nanoparticles, which is based on the concepts of tuning the reducing rate of the different facets. This technique can be used to produce morphology-controlled nanoparticles from nanometer- to submicron- to micron-sized scale. The Pt-based nanoparticles show improved catalytic properties (e.g., activity and durability). | 05-30-2013 |

20120291559 | Integrated Pressure Sensor Seal - Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to improved package assemblies for pressure sensing elements. Rather than leaving a pressure sensing element unabashedly exposed to the ambient environment in a manner that makes it susceptible to damage from stray wires, dirt, and the like; the improved package assemblies disclosed herein include a cover that helps form an enclosure around the pressure sensing element. The cover includes a fluid-flow channel with a blocking member arranged therein. The fluid-flow channel puts the pressure sensing element in fluid communication with the external environment so pressure measurements can be taken, while the blocking member helps protect the pressure sensing element from the external environment (e.g., stray wires and dirt to some extent). In this way, the package assemblies disclosed herein help promote more accurate and reliable pressure measurements than previous implementations. | 11-22-2012 |

20130208437 | Field Device for Process Instrumentation - A field device for process instrumentation, i.e., a measuring transducer, actuator, or mobile operating device, which is suitable for use in explosion-prone areas. The field device is battery-driven and has at least one battery for supplying an electronic unit with energy. A battery compartment is constructed such that standard batteries can be inserted without the risk of spark formation. A corresponding design of a supply circuit ensures that the circuit can only be closed, for example, when closing the battery compartment once a lid is closed to the extent that the battery compartment meets the requirements for use in explosion-prone areas. The invention has the advantage that comparatively inexpensive standard batteries can be used and that the ignition protection is maintained during the entire battery switching process. | 08-15-2013 |
