Mobile devices

Interestingly, the PEMFC may also operate directly on methanol. Naturally, the problems associated with high coverage of various intermediates will be present, as mentioned above, as well as additional problems such as loss of methanol over the membrane. Nevertheless, it is possible to operate a methanol fuel cell with a voltage around 0.4 V and a reasonable current, to power small mobile devices such as portable computers and cell phones and make them independent of connection to the conventional power net. For more details on fuel cells we refer the reader to L. Carr-ette, K.A. Friedrich and U. Stimming, Fuel Cells 1(1) (2001) 5-39.

Shipments of fuel cell-equipped mobile devices could grow very rapidly if they can eliminate the need for frequent recharging of current battery-powered models. The Medis 24/7 Power Pack in April 2007. It is a portable, disposable power source for small electronic devices such as cell phones and MP3 players. Manufactured by Medis Technologies, it is based on Direct Liquid Fuel cell technology, and may be of particular utility in military applications. Elsewhere, MTI MicroFuel Cells manufactures a power pack for portable electronics that is based on direct methanol fuel cell technology that it calls Mobion. 

The proliferation of the feature-rich mobile devices, for example mobile phones or network-enabled Personal Digital Assistants (PDA), provides means for creation of distributed mobile agents platforms. Unique properties of mobile agents, like ability to migrate data together with agent s code from host to host, or ability to make decisions on behalf of the owner, open a new... 

Viator (Latin messenger, traveler) is a cryptographic mobile agent that implements secure personal content delivery, proposed in this paper. It has been implemented in JADE framework and is a proof-of-concept for the protocol. Currently, JADE-LEAP version of JADE does not support agent mobility on mobile terminals. Hence, Viator was implemented on the Linux platform. It will be ported to mobile device version as soon as support for mobility is available. There were a number of agents implemented ... 

In the world of convergence between IT and telecommunications the paradigm of mobile agents opens up a new area for their applications. It is fairly easy to create personal content and distribute it due to high availability of rich-featured interconnected mobile devices. Hence, there is a need to provide some mechanisms that prevents misusing of someone s property. 

In the recent years the mobile devices gained more processing power and allow running custom made Java-based applications. That makes possible installation and execution of different agent platforms. The notion of mobile agent taking role of always-available personal assistant is becoming real. 

Clearly, the basic imaging scheme can be extended to include relaxation-time contrast for discrimination of variations in cross-link density and strain, and the ID MRI-MOUSE (magnetic resonance imaging MOUSE) can be extended with further gradient coils to permit imaging in three dimensions. Numerous applications of the MRI-MOUSE can be envisioned in soft matter analysis, in particular in those areas, where imaging with conventional equipment has proven to be successful, and where smaller, less expensive, and mobile devices are in need. 

It is generally well appreciated now that the choice of the right dielectric is crucial for achieving optimum field-effect mobility, device stability and reliability. In the same way as silicon MOS technology owes much to the quality of the Si-Si02 interface, dielectrics for organic FETs have recently received significant attention. 

The decomposition is a very important step because the decomposition has to be fast enough to ensure the appropriate energy supply in mobile devices, such as vehicles. Moreover, certain by-products can poison the fuel cell. Therefore, the decomposition of the possible hydrogen carrier NH3 was investigated in detail [13], as it is expected that over ZrON as catalyst, no production of hydrazine occurs.

Fig. 1 illustrates the dissipative (i ) and Hall R cy) resistance characteristics of a high mobility device under microwave excitation at 103.5 GHz. Here, the new radiation-induced effect occurs at relatively low magnetic fields, in this instance B < 0.4 Tesla, and the effect includes giant magnetoresistance oscillations. Remarkably, it turns ont that, at the deepest minima, the resistance falls well below the R cx measnied withont photoexcitation, as it vanishes over broad 5-intervals around (4/5)Bf and 4/9)Bf Here, note that the small magnetic fields involved in this low B-field study can be easily realized with small solenoids or commercially available permanent magnets. 

Developers with light-weight mobile devices have not been considered explicitly in our scenarios. Their role is likely to increase in the next future, so that a management layer like ours should be extended to support nomadic clients using mobile middleware. 

At a material exposure site located at the Research Triangle Park, N.C., the Environmental Protection Agency began in October 1982 a study to partition the effects of dry and wet deposition on galvanized steel and Corten A weathering steel. In this study a mobile device covers a set of the metallic materials during each rain event. Another set of the metals is boldly exposed (uncovered) at the site. The results of the two-year exposure of these two metals is presented.
