20100101963 | Method of Recovering Valuable Metal from Scrap Conductive Oxide - Proposed is a method of recovering valuable metal from scrap containing conductive oxide including the steps of using scrap containing conductive oxide and performing electrolysis while periodically inverting the polarity, and recovering the scrap as hydroxide. With the foregoing method of recovering valuable metal from scrap containing conductive oxide, oxide system scrap is conductive oxide and a substance that can be reduced to metal or suboxide with hydrogen. This method enables to efficiently recover valuable metal from sputtering target scrap containing conductive oxide or scrap such as mill ends of conductive oxide that arise during the production of such a sputtering target. | 04-29-2010 |
20100108536 | ELECTROCHEMICAL ACTUATOR - An electrochemical actuator system includes a membrane electrode assembly coupled to a source of electrical energy. The membrane electrode assembly includes a proton-exchange membrane disposed between a first electrode and a second electrode. A first chamber is located on a first side of the membrane electrode assembly and is configured to hold a gas generated by applying electrical energy to the first electrode of the membrane electrode assembly. The membrane electrode assembly and the first chamber are sealed to inhibit fluid communication with the surrounding ambient environment. The chamber includes a diaphragm deformable in response to a change in an amount of the gas in the first chamber. A deformation of the diaphragm in response to the change in the amount of the gas in the first chamber causes a movement of an actuating member coupled to the diaphragm. | 05-06-2010 |
