Catalysts comprising a catalytically active metal on a NiO&mdash;MgO coated porous metal alloy support that are active for catalyzing the oxidative conversion of methane to CO and H are disclosed. The preferred catalytically active metal is rhodium and the porous metal alloy support is preferably a perforated fecralloy foil. A method of making the catalysts and coated supports, and processes for using the new catalysts for converting light hydrocarbons, such as methane, to synthesis gas, are disclosed.

Supported nickel-magnesium oxide catalysts and processes for the production of syngas

A thin-film semiconductor device comprising a substrate and a front contact layer disposed on said substrate including a plurality of segments separated by first scribe lines, a plurality of the segments forming a submodule, and at least one of the submodules forming a module. A bus is provided for interconnecting two or more of the submodules in parallel with each other. A thin film of a semiconductor material is disposed on the front contact layer and a back contact layer disposed on the thin film of semiconductor material. The back contact layer is scribed along second scribe lines corresponding to and adjacent the first scribe lines. An interconnection is provided for interconnecting adjacent areas of the rear and back contact layers.

Monolithic series and parallel connected photovoltaic module

A system for indicating the lapsed time from a start point for each of a plurality of entities, such as race horses, to reach a succession of stations, such as furlong posts, along a path of movement, such as a race track, is disclosed. Preferably, the entities each include radio frequency transmitters carried by each entity, such as a transmitter mounted to the forehead of a horse. Each transmitter emanates a radio frequency signal discrete to that entity. Radio frequency receiving means, such as loops buried in the track, are located at each of the stations and are adapted to receive an interval of signals from each transmitter on each entity when it passes within a reception area of each station. The receiving means communicates to detector means which is adapted to discriminate and detect each discrete radio frequency and screen out the remaining discrete radio frequencies. The detector means generates an output signal which has two functions. First, a tagging signal is generated to identify the entity passing the station. Second, a clock-driven timing counter has its instantaneous count recorded at a latch. An enabling circuit connects tagging information to the frozen clock count and sequentially empties the tagging information into a random access memory. The end product of the apparatus and method of this invention is that each entity, as it proceeds around the path of movement, has its identity and time of passage recorded at each station. By state of the art recall and printout of the information, a system for obtaining splits of racing entities, such as race horses, is obtained.

High resolution timing recording system

A system and method by which antenna type loops are situated at predetermined positions about a race track in which a plurality of contestants are passed sequentially over the loops while carrying a transmitter arranged to transmit a low radio frequency signal of a frequency discreet for each contestant and in which a series of timers controlled by a single clock are arranged in reference to each contestant so that at the start of the race all of the timers are made to start to operate in timed unison and whereby the several timers associated with each contestant are sequentially stopped upon the signal from the transmitter emanating from each contestant being sequentially received at the succession of loop antennas to indicate the lapsed time from the start of the race to each station incorporating an active loop.
