Funding for the conference came from the ACS Division of Inorganic Chemistry the Petroleum Research Fund, administered by the ACS and the Alfa Products Division of Morton Thiokol, Inc. Portions of travel expenses were borne by AT T Bell Laboratories BBC-Brown, Boveri Co. Exxon Research and Engineering and Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd. The conference would not have occurred without the generous support of these organizations. Finally, I wish to thank all of the contributing authors, whose cooperation and timeliness have been greatly appreciated.

Besides the valuable information obtained from the companies cited in Refs. 2 and 3, cooperation with Atochem Elf-Aquitaine (Paris and Pierre-Benite, France), E. I. DuPont de Nemours Company (Wilmington, Delaware, USA) and Ems-Dottikon AG (Dottikon, Switzerland) in the domain of industrial photochemistry, as well as with Asea Brown Boveri AG (Baden, Switzerland) for the technical application of excimer light sources in photochemistry, provided many interesting discussions, new insights in problems of industrial chemistry, and valuable new tools for their solution.

Both Italy and Switzerland have work in progress on advanced alkaline electrolyzers. The DeNora Corporation and Brown Boveri of Italy and Switzerland, respectively, have built some of the largest industrial electrolysis plants and are each supporting in-house R D efforts, as well as working on contracts from their respective governments. 

Membrel cell — (membrane electrolysis) Electrochemical cell developed by BBC Brown Boveri Ltd, now joined with ASEA AB, to ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd) for water electrolysis. A polymeric cation exchange membrane acting as -> solid electrolyte is placed between a catalyst-coated porous graphite plate acting as cathode and a catalyst-coated porous titanium plate acting as anode. 

The twisted nematic liquid crystal display (TN-LCD) was reported by Schadt and Helfrich of F. Hoffman-La Roche in Basle, Switzerland in 1970. This was part of a tripartite collaboration between F. Hoffman-La Roche in Basle, Brown Boveri of Baden and Ebauche in Neuchatel, all in Switzerland. The intention was to design and develop flat panel displays, e.g. for digital watches. The first LCD factory was constructed in Lenzburg, Switzerland in the mid-1970s by Videlec, a subsidiary of Brown Boveri. Since then the TN-LCD has... 

The super birefringent effect (SBE-LCD) reported by Scheffer and Nehring from Brown Boveri in Baden, Switzerland, uses the optical interference of two normal, elliptically polarised modes of transmitted light generated by a high-tilt, highly-twisted nematic structure viewed between two polarisers set in an unusual way, i.e. the input polarisation direction is not parallel to the nematic director at either substrate surface and the polarisers are not crossed at 90°, see Figure 3.10. 

Electrical equipment. Fuel cell power in the form of direct current at low potential difference will usually need to be adapted to practical use, by conversion to alternating current at, say, 110 V, 60 Hz or 230 V, 50 Hz. Two main inverter equipment suppliers have their web sites listed at the end of the book, namely the Asea Brown Boveri Group, suppliers to Ballard Power, which has most of the fuel cell market, and Xantrex Technology Inc. Ballard is just entering the market, see Ecostar below.
