The Voyager GC from Photovac Inc. has a miniaturised electron capture /photoionisation dual detection system. It has three columns built in and an isothermal oven for fast analysis of up to 40 volatile organic compounds (VOCs). There are preconfigured assays for environmental, petrochemical and other applications. It has a refillable gas cylinder. The rechargeable batteries enable eight hours of use in the field but it can also operate from AC or DC power. It weighs 6.8kg. 

In a parallel-hybrid [Figure 7.2(b)], there are dual transmission systems a mechanical one driven directly by the engine and an electrical one driven by the electric motor. A parallel-hybrid corresponds to a conventional vehicle with a smaller engine and a larger battery. To date, most automotive manufacturers... 

Battery cathodes provides an overview of the current cathode materials available for use in Li-ion batteries and a discussion of the various battery systems. Li-ion batteries are dual intercalation systems, in which both the cathode and the anode have structures that allow reversible insertion and extraction of lithium cations. In principle, there are numerous materials that undergo reversible intercalation and can serve as electrode materials. Hence, unlike the lead acid battery which describes a specific chemistry, the chemistry of the Li-ion battery is not fixed but determined by the choice of anode and cathode materials. 

Answer The principle of duality requires that essential services should be in duplicate. For example, two Independent channels of power feed, a normal feeder plus an alternative to be available in the event of emergency. Other examples, the multiple Beckman system, safety circuit inter-ties, dual.relay systems, hydraulic accumulators, emergency battery banks, backup water supply, etc.

The power-conditioning system was a self-commutated, dual-bridge, six-pulse design. The a.c. output was three-phase, 480 Vac. The BESS typically operated in a constant-power output mode. Charging of the battery was conducted initially at constant power and then finished at constant voltage [20]. 

Due to the barrier of increased cost that confronts the introduction of any new system, the time-scale for volume production of vehicles with 42-V systems is still uncertain. Nevertheless, once the 42-V PowerNet is introduced into a vehicle, manufacturers will convert many functions to the new voltage level when the relevant components are available at low cost, even if the higher voltage is not essential for the function in question. Dual-voltage (14-V/42-V) systems, with a separate battery at each of the two voltage levels, are under discussion for the intervening period [54]. 

At all reactors but C, there are two complete systems in the 3XX circuit. TWO batteries, two sets of pressure switches, and two latching solenoid mschanisms will allow failure of a single system without the consequence of a "ball drop" A manual pushbutton is located centrally in each control room to trip both systems, thus dropping the balls. Modifications are presently underway at C Reactor to Install a dual system similar to the other reactors.

These pyrolyzed photoresist three-dimensional electrodes have applications in batteries, but they are also applicative to microchip bioanalysis systems. Fischer et al. have used pyrolyzed photoresist to make three-dimensional electrodes for dual amperometric detection for microchip electrophoresis [8]. However, it is important to note that many electrodes for microchip electrophoresis are three-dimensional electrodes and can be fabricated from a number of sources including carbon-based screen printing inks, precious metal-based screen printing inks, carbon fibers, electroplating of metallic electrodes, vapor deposition of metallic electrodes, etc. The choice of material is usually a function of... 

A dual-stack cell design that enclosed two stacks within the same pressure vessel was developed to reduce the number of pressure vessels required in some power systems. This conflguration was termed a common pressure vessel. These powered the Iridium constellation of 88 satellites (98 satellites, including orbital spares). While these batteries have functioned reasonably well, there are some difficulties in maintaining all the cells at a similar state of charge. However, these single pressure vessel batteries continue to perform well in orbit. 

Enova Systems also developed a battery-dominant FC powertrain for HEBs and PHEBs. This drive system integrates an induction electric motor, a dual 8-kW inverter, a 380-V DC/DC converter, a BCU with safety disconnect protection, and a digital PMS. This RESS can supply modular power (90, 120, or 240 kW) using an EMS. The Enova hybrid drive provides 120 kW of power using as APU a 20-kW Hydrogenics FC stack.

Lithium manganese dioxide batteries have become very prominent in recent years for military applications which are now widespread. Like sulfur dioxide batteries these are usually foimd in multicell packs often with dual voltage and cell sizes. The voltage of the system is similar to sulfur dioxide, so no major device changes are required. Typical batteries with their applications are given in Table 2 [1]. 

The condensation particle counter battery measurements are complemented by aerosol particle size distribution measurements using a dual differential mobility particle sizer system covering a size range of 3-900 nm, and an aerodynamic particle sizer covering aerosol particle sizes between 0.7 and 20 pm. In addition, air ions are detected using a balanced scanning mobility analyser and an air ion spectrometer. During the period of measurements, several new particle formation (nucleation) events occur in tropospheric air. 

This section identifies rechargeable or secondary battery requirements best suited for communications and surveillance and reconnaissance satellites. The battery power requirements are strictly dependent on several factors, including launch orbits such as LEO, elliptical, or GSO orbital height the type of stabilization technique used (i.e., mono-spin, dual-spin, or three-axis configuration) satellite operational life attitude control system and the overall DC power requirements needed to power the electronic and electrical subsystems, the electro-optical and microwave sensors, and the attitude and stabilization control mechanisms. 

More recently, spin-dependent liquid-electrolyte reserve batteries employing lithium anodes have been developed. The most promising system is that in which thionyl chloride serves in the dual role of electrolyte carrier and active cathodic depolarizer (see Chap. 20). The accepted cell reaction for this system is...
