A control strategy for bleeding an anode side of fuel cell stack in a fuel cell system that improves water management and addresses durability and performance concerns. The method includes determining when to begin the anode bleed, typically by estimating or measuring the amount of nitrogen in the anode side of the stack. The method also includes determining when to end the anode bleed based on the volume of gas that has been bled. The method determines the mole flow rate of the anode gas flowing through a bleed valve, integrates the mole flow rate to get the number of moles of the gas that have passed through the bleed valve, determines a desired amount of moles to be bled, and ends the bleed when the actual number of moles of the gas equals the desired number of moles of the gas.

The present invention provides an ink for inkjet printing, comprising an aqueous vehicle, a pigment colorant and an effective amount of 3-butoxypropylamine as a bleed control agent. The ink exhibits reduced intercolor bleed when printed, for example, on plain paper.

The present invention relates to a compressive band and hemostatic dressing system and related methods of use to provide rapid, non-occlusive bleeding control, arterial injury treatment, and injury protection comfortably and reliably after vascular access procedures. The present invention may comprise some or all of the following elements: a positioner assembly, a compressive cushion component, a compression plate, a strap with a flexible hinge assembly, and a hemostatic dressing. In a preferred embodiment, the systems and methods are applied to treat and ameliorate vascular injury in a transradial percutaneous access procedure and protect against underlying vascular injury; however, the systems and methods described herein may be applied to any vascular access procedure including arm or leg vascular approaches such as the femoral, brachial, dorsalis pedis or tibial blood vessels in arterial or venous line or sheath removal or trocar removal, and in hemodialysis.

An ink jet ink composition comprised an anti-curl agent and ink jet printing processing using such ink jet ink composition. The ink jet ink composition includes a hyperbranched polymer. The hyperbranched polymer acts as an anti-curl agent to control curl during a printing process. The anti-curl agent, i.e., the hyperbranched polymer, may be present in the ink amounts less than conventional anti-curl agents and still effectively control curl without detrimentally effecting intercolor bleed control water fastness or drying. Additionally, the ink composition do not exhibit increases in viscosity, and problems associated therewith, that occur in ink composition using conventional anti-curl agents.

The invention provides a silicon-controlled dimming LED drive circuit. The source electrode of a bleeding switch MOS transistor is connected with the circuit ground through a resistor, the drain electrode of the bleeding switch MOS transistor is connected to the voltage signal end of a bus through a bleeding resistor, and the grid electrode of the bleeding switch MOS transistor is connected with the circuit ground through a second capacitor and is also connected with the output end of a first switch of a bleeding control module through a resistor. A first sampling resistor is coupled between the bleeding switch MOS transistor and the first input end of a comparator of the bleeding control module so as to obtain a first sampling voltage signal. The bleeding control module receives the first sampling voltage signal through the first input end of the comparator, compares the first sampling voltage signal with the voltage signal of a reference voltage source and controls switching-on and switching-off of the first switch, so that the bleeding switch MOS transistor is driven to control the minimum input current of the LED drive circuit, and therefore the holding current of a silicon-controlled dimmer is controlled. Through the intelligent control by the bleeding control module, the input current of the LED drive circuit can meet the requirement for the holding current of the silicon-controlled dimmer.
