There are two commercially available expert systems that rely on a statistical approach TOPKAT, which was developed by Health Designs Inc. but is now owned by Accelrys [18], and CASE/MultiCASE, developed at Case Western University [31].

In a second prototype, the reaction temperature was reduced to 250 °C, which reduced the carbon monoxide concentration from 1.2 to < 1%. Later, the first fuel processor prototype was linked to a meso-scale high-temperature fuel cell developed at Case Western University by Holladay et al. [117], which was tolerant to carbon monoxide concentrations up to 10%. Hence no CO clean-up was necessary to run the fuel processor. A 23 mW power output was demonstrated according to Holladay et al. [118], This value was lower than expected, which was attributed to several factors. First, the hydrogen supply was lower in the reformate. Second, the presence of carbon monoxide (2%) lowered the cell voltage. Third, the presence of carbon dioxide (25%) generated a magnified dilution effect at the gas diffusion layer material of the fuel cell, which was considerably less porous than conventional materials.

Two managers of the Diamond-Shamrock Company, a major force in electrochemical technology and in the chloralkall industry, describe the development of a cooperative agreement between the company, the U.S. Department of Energy, and Case Western University (Dr. Ernest B. Yeager, international leader in electrochemical research) for research in oxygen electrocatalysis. 

A comparison of mutagenic activity using normal and nitroreductase-deficient bacteria provides a method for detection and identification of nitroaromatic mutagens. But this idea is complicated by the existence of several bacterial nitroreductases with differing specificities (11). Three different nitroreductase-deficient derivatives of the normal tester strain TA98 were obtained from Dr H. S. Rosenkranz at Case Western University who has isolated and characterized these strains. Strain TA98NR was selected for its resistance to the nitrocompound niridazole and subsequently found to be resistant to the mutagenicity of niridazole, and also to that of the nitrofurans, nitronaphthalenes, and nitrofluorene (3). It is also resistant to 1-nitropyrene and a number of other nitro-PAH...

The low cost and excellent oxidation and thermal stability of phosphoric acid doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) prompted researchers at Case Western University (Samms et a/., 1996 Wang et /., 1996a,b,c) to develop this membrane as a polymer electrolyte for DMFCs. After investigation of the thermal stability of PBI doped with phosphoric acid up to 600°C, it was concluded that this membrane is adequate for use as PEM in a high temperature fuel cell. These studies may also be extended to other polymers like the polybenzimidazobenzophenanthrolines (PBIPAs) which exhibit excellent thermal and mechanical properties (Zhou and Lu, 1994).
