A method for producing a solid layer material (), comprising providing () a first layer (); providing () a second liquid layer () on the first layer (); providing () a third liquid layer () on the second liquid layer (), wherein the third liquid layer has a melting point that is higher than a melting point of the second liquid layer, and wherein the second liquid layer is between the first and third layers; cooling () a surface of the third liquid layer to a temperature less than the melting point of the third liquid layer; forming () the solid layer from the third liquid layer while cooling the third layer liquid; and removing () the solid layer.

Methods for casting by a float process and associated apparatuses

The present invention provides methods and systems for controlling a catalytic process. The control system includes: an electroconductive support having a layer of a catalyst thereon; a first electrode in contact with said electroconductive support; a second electrode in contact with said catalyst layer; a current control unit for applying a current to said first and second electrodes and for controlling and varying the amount of current applied; an impedance measurement unit for continuously, monitoring and measuring the polarization impedance across an interface between the catalyst layer and the electroconductive support; a processing-unit for comparing the measured polarization impedance with a reference value. The amount of current applied to the catalyst layer and the electroconductive support via the first and second electrodes is varied to change the polarization impedance when the measured polarization impedance differs from the reference value.
