Method and device for hydrogen and hydrocarbon sensing
Abstract
One embodiment of a method of fabricating a sensor element for an exhaust gas sensing device_,_ comprises disposing an electrolyte in ionic communication with a sensing electrode and a reference electrode _to form the sensor element_. The sensing electrode comprises an activator comprising silica and _an oxide of an element_. The element is selected from the group consisting of alkaline earth elements, rare earth elements, and _combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing elements_.

Unexamined applications (Kokai - kind code A)
・・・Before Dec 1999 Japanese emperor year numbering restart <- what the F. is a "restart"?
・・・Year 2000 forward Western year numbering restart
Examined applications (Kokoku - kind code B)
・・・Before May 1996 Japanese emperor year numbering restart
・・・May 1996 forward Replaced by Toroku
New law granted patents (Toroku - kind code B) May 1996 forward Continuous numbering
Under the old system, examined patents were published pre-grant (this second publication stage was called 'kokoku'). The last kokoku were issued in early 1996. Kokoku numbers started from zero every new year, so the JPO issued them with an Emperor year prefix.
A 1995 examined patent issued by the JPO would look like this: h07-12345 B2.
From 1 January 2000 the Japanese Patent Office will use the four digit Gregorian year in their numbering systems rather than the two digit Imperial year.
So, a patent application (Kokai) which may currently appear as 08-231479A would be given in the future as P2002-231479A.

Certificate reissuance for checking the status of a certificate in financial transactions
Abstract
A system for using a certificate authority to first provide a customer with a digital certificate, and then having a relying party that receives that digital certificate access a status authority (the certificate authority or its designated agent) to receive a reissued certificate on that certificate. The reissued certificate has a much shorter validity period, which ensures that the information is timely. Moreover, the certificate may serve as a receipt, including an accumulated record of the signatures (digital certificates) and policy applied throughout the financial transaction. As a result, each transfer of the transaction forms a digitally-signed chain of evidence recording each step of the transaction and policy applied thereto, whereby risk may be assumed and charged for appropriately and in accordance with the risk purchaser's policy.

U.S. Patent Application 0030157396:
While not limiting the invention, the flow channels may also
minimize buildup of pressure by allowing liquid that accumulates
at the interface between the cathode catalyst and the cathode
microporous backing layer 11, an outlet, so that hydrostatic
pressure that could be created by such liquid does not build up.
