The invention disclosed herein was made or conceived in the course of, or under, a Contract with the United States Government identified as No. DEN3-161.
This invention relates to cooling of fuel cell stacks and more particularly to cooling of stacks through directional control of the cooling medium.
Among the various types of fuel cell systems are those which include subassemblies of two bipolar plates between which is supported an electrolyte, such as an acid, in a matrix. The subassemblies, herein referred to as fuel cells, are oriented adjacent one another and electrically interconnected in series, or otherwise, to form a fuel cell stack. Operation of the fuel cells, for example the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to produce electrical energy as well as water and heat, is exothermic, and cooling of the cell components is necessary in order to maintain component integrity. For example, the bipolar plates or the electrolyte matrix may be made of carbonaceous material bonded by a resin which tends to degrade at high temperatures. Prolonged operation at high temperatures would tend to degrade many components of a typical fuel cell. Further, the exothermic reaction can result in uneven temperature distribution across a fuel cell, thus limiting cell operating temperature and efficiency, and additionally raising concerns about catalyst poisoning, for example by carbon monoxide, as well as raising concerns relating to thermal cycling.
Accordingly, fuel cell systems have in the past been proposed with closed liquid cooling loops. Typically proposed are systems comprising a plurality of stacked cells wherein every fourth cell or so includes small metallic tubing through which cooling water is recirculated. Circulatory power is accordingly required, detracting from overall cell efficiency. This is complicated by large pressure drops in small diameter tubing, and the susceptibility of the cooling tubes to attack by mediums with the cell stack, such as acids in certain designs.
Also proposed are systems wherein large amounts of an oxidant, such as air, in quantities which are multiples of the stoichiometric amount necessary to carry out the electrochemical reaction, are circulated through a stack of fuel cells to additionally function as a cooling medium. As with liquid cooled systems, an associated penalty is the large amount of circulatory power required.
Recently proposed have been systems including a stack of fuel cells with a cooling module placed between every fourth or so fuel cell in the stack. Air is manifolded from a common source so as to flow in parallel through the process oxidant channels of the fuel cells, as well as through cooling channels of the cooling module. The cooling module channels are much larger than the fuel cell process channels so that approximately eighty percent of the air flows through the cooling cell channels and the balance through the process cell channels. While such systems represent an improvement in terms of mechanical power requirements, additional improvements can be made. For example, where the amount of air flow is reasonable, that is, where an amount which does not require excessive circulatory power is utilized, the air flowing through the cooling channels absorbs substantial amounts of heat energy as the cooling channel is traversed, resulting in less cooling at the exit end of the channel. This condition results in an uneven temperature profile in the fuel cell stack and associated unbalanced reaction rates, voltage and current distributions, and limits average operating temperatures.
More recently proposed are systems of the latter described type wherein the cooling channels vary in surface area or spacing within the stack, such that entering coolant is exposed to a smaller surface area than exiting coolant. This substantially improves overall cooling of the fuel cell stack, creating greater uniformity of temperature.
All of the described arrangements, however, may be prone to thermal cycling with changes in operation, such as required load. The variable surface area system also requires increased manufacturing complexity and cost to achieve a degree of thermal uniformity. And, some of the proposed systems create a substantial pressure drop requiring high pumping capacities and system pressures.
It is therefore desirable to provide improved cooling arrangements for fuel cell systems which preferably do not suffer excessively high pressure drops and circulatory power requirements and which provide for better temperature distribution and uniformity throughout the fuel cell system. It is also desirable to minimize the impact of thermal cycling on system components.
This invention provides method and apparatus for coolinng fuel cell stacks to achieve substantial thermal uniformity and alleviate high pressure drop component requirements. In preferred form a grouping of fuel cells, or a so called stack, contains cooling channels segregated from the process fluid flowing in reacting communication with the anodes and cathodes of the stack. A cooling fluid flows through a recirculating loop which includes, in addition to the fuel cell stack, a heat exchanger, a pump, and a diverter valve.
The recirculating cooling loop is preferably arranged such that cooling fluid exiting the stack is first cooled in the heat exchanger and, at a lower temperature, passed through the pump and returned to the fuel cell stack. The conduits connecting the loop components, and the diverter valve, are arranged so that the direction of cooling fluid flow can be periodically reversed, without stopping or reversing the pump. The same arrangement can also be applied to other fuel cell systems.
The direction of cooling fluid flow is selectively reversed as a function of the thermal time constant of the fuel cell stack. More specifically, reversal in flow direction is made at time intervals which are less than the period of time necessary for the stack to achieve a thermal equilibrium at given operating conditions. Generally, the more rapid the time period for reversals, the more uniform will be the thermal profile of the fuel cell stack.
Whereas the prior art continuously exposed the inlet portions of the stack to cooler coolant than the outer portions, reversal of flow directions provides cooler coolant to one portion of the stack for a period of time, and then the other portion is exposed to the cooler coolant fluid. The inlet and outlet are in essence periodically reversed, and the affect of coolant heating during passage through the stack, detrimentally lowering its capacity for cooling toward the outlet end of the stack, is alleviated. In this manner the thermal storage capacity of the fuel cell stack is utilized in a positive fashion.
The advantages, nature and additional features of the invention will become more apparent from the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:
FIG. 1 is an expanded perspective view of an exemplary fuel cell stack;
FIG. 2 is a schematic of a cooling circulation loop in accordance with the invention; and
FIGS. 3 and 4 are perspective views of cooling module segments in accordance with the invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown an exemplary electrochemical fuel cell stack 10. The stack includes a plurality of repeating fuel cells 12 arranged in an assembly such that the cells 12 are electrically connected in series. Cell stacks can also be arranged in parallel. The term stack, as used in the description and accompanying claims, includes an integrated grouping of electrochemical devices.
An individual cell, such as the cell 12', includes two bipolar plates 14 between which are sandwiched an electrolyte, for example, in the form of a porous graphite matrix 16 saturated with an acid such as phosphoric acid. Many other materials and structures which incorporate an electrically insulating matrix material can also be utilized. The plates 14 can comprise a material such as compression molded graphite-resin composite, disposed on opposite sides of the electrolyte matrix 16 and electrodes 18, such as the cathode 20 and anode 22. Each electrode 18 can also be of coarse graphite material provided with a porous graphite fiber backing 24 for added structural integrity.
The bipolar plates 14 are provided with a set of process channels, including fuel channels 26 and oxidant channels 28. The channels 26, 28 are generally rectangular with slightly slanted edges 30 to facilitate fabrication as necessary, for example, to remove a fabrication die. Other geometric configurations are equally possible. The bipolar plates 14 also include grooves 32 matingly configured to receive the electrodes 18. Thus, when held together by means well known, such as bonding materials and an external frame, each cell represents a substantially sealed unit.
An oxidant, such as a halogen, or air or other oxygen-containing material, flows through the oxidant channels 28, and a fuel, such as hydrogen, organics or metals, flows through the fuel channels 26. Manifolds 27 are typically utilized to transfer the process fuel and oxidant to and from the stack. Electrical power and heat are generated by the interaction of the fuel and oxidant through the electrodes and electrolyte matrix 16. An exemplary fuel cell utilizes hydrogen fuel, air as the oxidant and phosphoric acid as the electrolyte.
A substantial amount of heat is generated by the electrochemical reaction and, accordingly, the system stack 10 includes cooling modules 42 or other cooling means. Dependent upon the operating temperatures desired, the cooling modules 42 are placed between fuel cells 12 at selected positions within the stack 10. A cooling module 42 may, for example, be placed between approximately every third cell to every eighth cell. Manifolds 29 and appropriate seals are provided to transfer a cooling fluid to and from the stack.
Each cooling module 42 is preferably comprised of a material similar to that of the bipolar plates 14, compression molded graphite-resin composite in the exemplary system. The cooling module 42 includes a plurality of cooling channels 44. The cooling module 42 can be formed of one piece, although, as shown, two sections 46 are preferably separately fabricated and subsequently sealed together. The cooling channels 44 are preferably substantially rectangular, although other geometric shapes are equally possible.
The cooling channels 44 may be oriented generally parallel to the oxidant channels 28, and they can also be oriented parallel to the fuel channels 26, or at any other orientation. A cooling fluid flows through the cooling channels 44. In accordance with the invention the cooling fluid and oxidant can be the same medium, such as air, or different mediums can be utilized. For example, the oxidant fluid can be air, and the cooling fluid can be helium.
As the cooling fluid flows within the channels 44, heat generated by the electrochemical reaction is absorbed, and its cooling capacity during passage through the stack 10 progressively decreases.
Referring now to FIG. 2 there is shown a fuel cell stack 10' wherein the fuel and oxidant flow generally parallel and counterdirectional to one another. A coolant circuit 50, preferably a recirculating loop, passes the coolant fluid from and to the stack 10' through conduits 52. The circuit typically contains a gaseous coolant, such as helium or air, at a pressure of between one and ten atmospheres. The circuit 50 includes a heat exchanger 54 through which a sink fluid in conduit 55 flows, means for pumping coolant through the circuit such as a blower or pump 56, and means for modulating the direction of flow of coolant through the circuit 50 such as a diverter valve 58. The valve 58 preferably is motor operated and modulates between two positions as directed by a controller 60.
The circulating loop 50 also includes one or more vents 62 which can be utlizied to discharge some fluid from the circuit 50, and a makeup conduit 64 which can provide fresh coolant fluid from a coolant source 66. A modulating motor-controlled flow damper 68 can also be utilized to control the amount of coolant fluid provided by the pump 56 to the stack 10'. The speed of the pump can also be varied. The system also includes appropriate temperture, pressure and flow monitors 57, which communicate with known control logic (not shown) to monitor and control system parameters.
The arrangement of FIG. 2 thus allows variation of coolant mass flow, coolant temperature and period of flow reversal, for example as a function of load on the stack, by changing pump speed, flow damper orientation or the rate of flow of sink fluid through the heat exchanger.
The valve 58 is shown by a solid line in one position, and by a broken line in a second position. The flow path of coolant fluid is shown by solid arrows 70, corresponding to the solid line position of the valve 58, and by broken arrows 72, corresponding to the broken line position of the valve 58.
When the valve 58 is in the solid line position, the coolant traverses a path A-V-C-D-V-E. When the valve 58 is in the broken line position, the coolant traverses a path E-V-C-D-V-A. The coolant flow direction is selectively periodically reversed between these two flow paths. The valve 58 allows reversal without stopping, or reversing, of the pump 56. This prevents a given portion of the cells 12 within a stack 10 from always being exposed to, and cooled by, a coolant which is either hotter or colder than the average coolant temperature. When the time period between coolant flow direction reversals is small compared to the thermal time constant of the stack 10, highly uniform fuel cell 10 temperatures are achieved. The temperature variations at a given location will be smaller than the steady state, single coolant direction temperature rise along a cooling path. For approximately half of the operating time, one edge of each cell is cooled by cold inlet coolant, and for the other half of the time it is cooled by warmer exhaust coolant. Positions midway along the cells are continuously cooled by coolant which is near the mean coolant temperature. Similar conditions exist for other internal stack locations.
The thermal time constant relates an initial temperature at a location within the stack to an equilibrium or steady state temperature at steady load conditions. For calculational studies summarized hereinafter, the thermal time constant is defined as the time period to change the temperature of the inlet edge of the cell closest to the cooling module to a temperature corresponding to 63.2 percent of the temperature differential between an initial temperature and an equilibrium or steady state temperature. The time constant for a rectangular stack 10 with fuel cells 12 approximately twelve inches by seventeen inches having a cooling module between every fifth cell is estimated to be 520 seconds, or 8.7 minutes. The calculated response is based upon a stack assumed to provide uniform heat generation utilizing twelve uniformly spaced and constant cross-section cooling channels 44 extending along the twelve inch long cooling path. For a current density of 100 amps per foot squared and a 100� F. rise in the coolant temperture during passage through the stack from approximately 250� F. to 350� F., the steady state temperature differential from the cell outlet to inlet with constant air flow in one direction was 57.8� F. Reversing the direction of flow each 520 seconds, or one time constant, reduces the maximum temperature change to 38.3� F. For 240 seconds between reversals, the maximum temperature change reduces to 20.1� F. and, for 120 second reversal periods the maximum change is 10.7� F.
It will now be apparent that substantial improvement in fuel cell temperature uniformity can be achieved utilizing periodic flow reversal as disclosed. It will also be apparent that periodic flow reversal is compatible with various types of fuel cell system flow configurations including, among others, the arrangements shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. For the stack of FIG. 1, it is preferable that the coolant stream be segregated from the process fluids.
There is a finite period of time associated with the reversal. A volume of warm coolant initially in the exit stream manifolds and conduits will reenter the stack during the reversal sequence. The affect of the warm coolant will not appreciably modify the stack thermal uniformity if the reversal time is a small fraction of the period between reversals, particularly in view of the thermal storage capacity of the system. For typically sized manifolds and ducts, the reversing time period is expected to be in the range of two to three seconds. Thus, selective reversals at one minute time intervals can beneficially be utilized to reduce temperature swings to less than 10� F.
While the foregoing is based upon evenly distributed and sized cooling passages 44, additional benefits and temperature uniformity may be achieved through variation in the spacing, the shape and the layout of the coolant channels. For example, FIG. 3 shows a cooling module section 46 having cooling channels 44 which are spaced closer together toward the lefthand edge than toward the righthand edge. Such spacing is useful where heat generation in a stack is higher at the lefthand side, for example, where fresh fuel and oxidant are both fed into the stack from the left edge. The channels 44 also include three sections, 44a, 44b and 44c. Sections 44a and 44c provide less internal surface area than section 44b. This orientation is particularly beneficial in conjunction with periodic flow reversal and where higher temperatures, or higher temperature swings, are expected at the central regions of the fuel cell stack. Alternatively, dependent upon the process reaction rate at given locations across the fuel cells, it may be desirable to provide high surface area channel sections 44d at the cooling module extremities, and smaller surface area sections 44e at the interior of the module, as shown in FIG. 4.
Many additional modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. It is therefore intended that the foregoing description be taken as illustrative, and not in a limiting sense.

While fulfilling his duties as a host at the 2013 American Music Awards, the video hit the music artist's Facebook fan page.
Pulling triple duty tonight as both host and presenter, Pitbull took the stage as a performer during the
2013 American Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday (November 24).
Looking dapper in an a white and black suit with his signature aviators, the Latino hunk was joined by fellow superstar Ke$ha to sing their hit tune, "Timber."
Leaving a trail of glitter on the red carpet, Ke$ha stepped out for the 2013 American Music Awards in Los Angeles earlier tonight (November 24).
The "Die Young" singer was more than happy to work her mojo for the cameras before scurrying inside to catch all the star-studded action.
Bringing out the inner-clotheshorse in everyone, Banana Republic hosted a fancy fete to launch their new collection with L'Wren Scott last night (November 19) in Los Angeles.
Joined by boyfriend Mick Jagger, Ms. Scott herself greeted guests like "Mad Men" babes Christina Hendricks and Jessica Pare.
Making her return to the States, Ke$ha showed up at LAX International Airport in Los Angeles on Monday evening (November 18).
The always-interesting pop star donned a spiked leather jacket over a black see-through top with a pink bra, purple trousers, and black heels as she greeted a young fan and took some photos.
Stepping out for a charitable cause, Hilary Swank, Sharon Stone and Ke$ha all showed up at the Inaugural amfAR India kickoff in Mumbai, India on Sunday (November 17).
The "Your Love is My Drug" songstress sported some dramatic eye makeup as she hammed it up with amfAR chairman Kenneth Cole at the Taj Mahal Palace Mumbai.
Showing some love to her Japanese fans, Ke$ha flew into Narita International Airport just outside of Tokyo, Japan on Monday morning (November 11).
The "Your Love Is My Drug" singer was in good spirits as she navigated past her followers who packed into the terminal, sporting some multi-colored locks with a black and white outfit.

Grand National and GNX History (part 1 of 3)
Buick quietly re-entered the supercar wars in the late eighties with a turbocharged 3.8 liter V6 engine in an all black Regal. The car was so outrageously fast that its now among the most collectible cars of all time.
BUICK - The "Grand National" & "GNX" Story Part 3 of 3
I don't like too many 80s cars, but this is my favorite BY FAR. It's the only car I allow to be included with the "brute force" muscle cars of the 60s and early 70s. I enjoyed working on them and driving them when I started as a tech at a Buick dealer in 1991, in Arlington TX. Too bad Pontiac and Olds didn't also make their own version of this the same way Buick made theirs.---Buick made a V6 from wacking 2 cylinders off their great V8, while letting the turbo and PERFECT computerized spark/fuel control "get back" the lost power of the 2 cylinders, AND retaining V6 fuel economy!--(these cars could get in the high 20s low 30s on the hwy). Since this is EXACTLY a Buick V8 with 2 cylinders wacked off, and since it is a 90 degree V (like a V8) unlike many V6s, the result is a nice even power curve that does not lack low-end. It does not have near the low-end "turbo lag" as many turbo POS's today that have to redline at 8500rpm before they make any power. In fact, in stock form these engines never need to see over 5000rpm.

The Lisse Tourist Office is just off the center of old town and is full of brochures and information. There is a museum there as well. It does cost to visit the museum. Post cards and other treasures are available for purchase.
The tourist office, (which is based in the Museum de Zwarte Tulp) is welcoming, helpful and a good place to get local advice.
Tho its main attraction & highlight is definitely Keukenhof garden in Lisse, big acres of tulip field outside is where our private journey day tour started. We had private limousine & priority entry at viator.com & slowly meandered & walked in farms & pathways in huge fields blooming with fresh flora. The colours stretched far across the horizon as far...
Whilst the gardens are the destination, some of the fields along the way were absolutely amazing and there was hardly anyone else around.
Whether biking or driving into Kuekenhof, take the time to explore some of the surrounding roads, you will find them incredible.
This is a small office but very helpful if visiting the gardens which are amazing. Gardens are open March through to mid May and well worth the visit. Over 7 million bulbs planted each year. This tourist office helps you find your way.
Keukenrol is AMAZING! I give it 10 stars! Omg! This was flower heaven. If you love lots of colours and flowers then this is the place for you! Best time is APRIL!
I Was very disapointed. because there was almost no flower that has blomed. I have been here three times before. But never been more dispointed then this time. Maybe I will come back next year...only maybe.
Small .... but very helpful and friendly office. It was a little hard to lacate it but we got all help and support we needed.
It was a very small office, but we could get a discount for the Keukenhof because we are ANWB members. It was quite difficult to find too.
On our weekend trip to Amsterdam, we found we would be arriving at tulip time! That certainly meant a trip to Keukenhof Gardens! The Lisse Tourist Office was very helpful with transportation information, information about the gardens, and stressing best times to visit to beat the crowds. The garden was enormous, and well worth the visit. The guide who helped...

"Worrying developments" in the last week led to the arrest of a Westminster parliamentary aide long suspected of spying for Russia.
The presence of 25-year-old Katia Zatuliveter in the office of Mike Hancock has been a source of concern to the security service for some time.
Security sources say there is no evidence of any wrongdoing on the part of the Liberal Democrat MP and confirm that no espionage charges will be brought against Ms Zatuliveter, but say her presence in this country is "not conductive to the national interest" and she will be deported.
In recent weeks, a number of questions about British nuclear and submarine capabilities have been submitted to the Government from Mr Hancock's office.
Although ministers have declined to answer some of the questions, Ministry of Defence and Foreign Office officials acknowledge that Mr Hancock, as a member of the Commons defence select committee, has cogent reasons to seek information on the nuclear issue, a matter of intense debate at a time of severe spending cuts with the Liberal Democrats opposed to the renewal of the Trident programme.
The MP for Portsmouth South, which has a large Royal Navy base, is also the vice-chairman of the all-party group on Russia, and last week it was reported that his colleagues at the Council of Europe, in Strasbourg, had been concerned enough about his voting record and alleged pro-Russian views to raise the matter with the then-Liberal Democrat leader, Charlie Kennedy.
There are also reports that Ms Zatuliveter had an affair with a Nato official who had access to classified material and this has caused further alarm. But a number of Alliance officials in Brussels said yesterday that they were unaware of any such relationship.
Mr Hancock defended Ms Zatuliveter yesterday, insisting that a mistake has been made and she should be freed.
Ms Zatuliveter, who has a Masters degree in peace studies from Bradford University, passed security vetting in order to join Mr Hancock's office in Parliament. Her family live in the south Caucasus where her father, Andrei, believed to be a former officer in the Russian army, has run a number of commercial concerns, including a gas trading company.
Ms Zatuliveter was reported to have been arrested by police and Border Agency officials and is being held at a secure facility awaiting deportation to Russia. She had been stopped and questioned last month at Gatwick airport after returning from a holiday in Croatia, with MI5 said to have referred extensively to her personal life.
When Vladimir Putin came to power in Russia, he significantly increased funding for the SVR (External Intelligence Service), the successor to his former employers, the KGB, and other Russian security services, and there have been persistent reports from the security agencies in the UK about the scale of Russian espionage activities, although it remains unclear just how successful they have been.
Ms Zatuliveter's arrest comes five months after a "Russian spy ring" was uncovered in the US with a young woman, known as Anna Chapman, supposedly playing a key role.
However, despite a deluge of publicity – especially about Ms Chapman, the "Mata Hari" who, according to one American tabloid, had "Sexy Red Agent's Locks to Die For" – the members of the "spy ring" did not face any spying-related charges, and were accused, instead, of failing to register with the US authorities as representatives of a foreign power and omitting to declare income for tax purposes.
Peter B Krupp, lawyer for one of those arrested, said after studying FBI affidavits: "The government's case essentially suggests they successfully infiltrated neighbourhoods, cocktail parties and the Parents and Teachers Association." The "agents" were, eventually, not tried but deported to Russia.
Andrei Zatuliveter was asked at his home in Zmeika by the representative of a British newspaper whether his daughter, the "Sexy Russian Blonde" of the headlines, had any connection with Ms Chapman.
He allegedly screamed: "Get out, I'll kill you, bastard", before chasing the journalist through the village, first on foot and then in his car. Later, in a telephone conversation, he said: "I don't believe any of this rubbish."
Mr Hancock also reiterated that he believed the allegations against his aide were rubbish. He stated: "No one has ever said to me under any circumstances whatsoever that she has been involved in anything like that. She was already in this country so she didn't need a visa. She was educated here – she did a Masters – and that gave her the right to work for a period and then it was renewed. The whole thing has been blown out of all proportion."
The MP added: "It's not my problem. It is now in the hands of her lawyers. I am sure that in the end she will be proved to be right."
The shadow Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said vetting procedures for those applying to work in the Commons might have to be looked at. "It is important to make sure those are strong enough and secure enough.
"I'm sure that depending on what happens with this individual case, if there do turn out to have been breaches in security, then obviously the wider security in Parliament would be looked at."

They should have a special prison for development teams that butcher AWESOME IP. Below I rant about what I believe are the top 3 IPs that would ever have a chance at having a long lived MMO player base comparable to the goliath that which is WoW.
Warhammer Online - I would put the original development team on a 10-15 year term in a medium security prison. The 2nd dev team to take on the project I would probably give them 5 years in a honor farm or minimum security fascility because really, the game was already doomed before they took over but they really went backwards with the game by creating more of what people were not asking for.
Star Wars - (SWG) I would throw the people responsible for this game's demise in the basement of a maximum security prison (life sentences) where the worst of the worst go. (OLD REPUBLIC) I would just issue a warrant for arrests and have a judge hand out cease and desists because really? You think an arcade style flying, linear and que style like WAR will be good for Star Wars franchise? You're out of your freaking mind. Oh and everyone' can play a Jedi? Ya thats terrible.
Lord of the Rings - You people would get a 30 year sentence in medium security prison. Your game is too similar to WoW and your inattentiveness to your player bases' suggestion are negligent. Housing is there but boring, PvP is there (and should be) but boring. Your joke of a f2p system is laughable and ends up making the player pay more than they would have if you just started charging them from the beginning, FRAUD.
Thank you to the three top IP development teams for ensuring the ongoing success of WoW. Shame on those of you who truly cared about the IPs but did not have the backbone to stand up and speak out against rogue developers responsible for destroying what could have been masterpieces.
AS AN MMO GAMER I FEEL RAPED/ROBBED/DEFRAUDED there is no epic IP left to look forward to.
Oh ya, FFXIV developers...there is no prison for you, you deserve to dig your own graves and stand in front of a firing squad. No prison is shitty enough for you and what you have done to the Final Fantasy Franchise.

What game is that sig for?
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein
"Graphics are often supplied by Engines that (some) MMORPG's are built in" - Spuffyre
FFXIV - It's been months since I played extensively. I logged on recently to check out the updates. Why not? It's still free because it would literally be a crime to charge anyone for playing. I should just get rid of the sig already.
Fixed it, thanks for reminding me.

What about Conan? Funcom getting off the hook for that one? :P Or Stargate Worlds?
I am still pissed about Warhammer Online. Such a joke of a game they made there. It's a trainwreck. There are still some decent IP's out there I guess. Can't really think of any, but I am not a creative mind.
Those deserve mentioning too, I just picked the top three and then added FFXIV as a special note because I believe FFXIV to be the worth launch of a major IP in the history of history.

It's actually very hard to take a non-gaming IP and make a good game out of it, without mostly ignoring the IP. That's why games that try usually fail miserably.
You are saying the free market laws of economics cannot effectively market reward/punish projects?
It seems to me that the solution to your woes is to make sure you buy games on their merit and development strategy, not on their hype/brands. Ultimately, your wallet is your only vote.

Since I hate bitching without offering solutions, here's what ZigZags would have done. You tell me what you think.
Warhammer - Start with 3 factions like in DAOC. FACTION #1 (Empire/Dwarves) leaving open Bretonnia/Ogres for later additions. FACTION #2 (Orcs & Goblins & Skaven) making Orcs and Goblins separate and not a "Greenskin" race because I could easily have made 4 classes out of each. Faction #3 (Chaos/Undead/Beasts of Chaos). Faction #4 (High Elves/Wood Elves). They could have left Lizardment to their very own Faction, which would have been true to lore and attractive enough classes/powers to bring in enough players to make them viable. Chaos Dwarves could be added later, Tomb Kings as a playable faction etc. Less emphasis on scenarios, more on siege and world RvR but make scenarios necessary to progress but not the only/best way to level up. It takes players out of the world.
Star Wars - Make limited playable Jedi with strict limitations. You can only be a jedi if you're logged in for x hours/month or x level and have completed x quests or accumulated x amount of reputation. All of which decay over time if not played. You want to QQ about not being casual and being able to play a Jedi, well go cry up shit creek because only the most skilled and dedicated should be able to play just a badass role in the world. Speaking of world, Star wars should combine a sandbox style Space/planet system. Think of EvE meets EQ /UO style maps. When I jump in my spaceship to travel to another planet to meet up with friends, I should be sweating my ass off watching my 6 (rear) so I don't get ganked by the rebels or imperial forces. None of this arcade space shoot'em up bullshit like they're going to do in Old Republic.
Lord Of the Rings - Should have let players play the forces of Sauron with classes on a 2 faction system. This game is actually the only game I would have been OK with only 2 factions. Either that or take out Monster Play entirely because honestly, what a joke. Too much instancing. I hate instancing in a game. I'd rather have less players with better computers than more players with tons of instanced zones.
Please feel free to criticize, I can take it.

This example shows the efficiency gains that are possible when using multirate and multistage filters for certain applications. In this case a distinct advantage is achieved over regular linear-phase equiripple design when a narrow transition-band width is required. A more detailed treatment of the key points made here can be found in the example entitled Efficient Narrow Transition-Band FIR Filter Design.
Consider the following design specifications for a lowpass filter (where the ripples are given in linear units):
Fpass = 0.13; % Passband edge Fstop = 0.14; % Stopband edge Rpass = 0.001; % Passband ripple, 0.0174 dB peak to peak Rstop = 0.0005; % Stopband ripple, 66.0206 dB minimum attenuation Hf = fdesign.lowpass(Fpass,Fstop,Rpass,Rstop,'linear');
A regular linear-phase equiripple design using these specifications can be designed by evaluating the following:
Hd = design(Hf,'equiripple');
When you determine the cost of this design, you can see that 695 multipliers are required.
The number of multipliers required by a filter using a single state, single rate equiripple design is 694. This number can be reduced using multirate/multistage techniques. In any single-rate design, the number of multiplications required by each input sample is equal to the number of non-zero multipliers in the implementation. However, by using a multirate/multistage design, decimation and interpolation can be combined to lessen the computation required. For decimators, the average number of multiplications required per input sample is given by the number of multipliers divided by the decimation factor.
Hd_multi = design(Hf,'multistage');
You can then view the cost of the filter created using this design step, and you can see that a significant cost advantage has been achieved.
You can compare the responses of the equiripple design and this multirate/multistage design using fvtool:
hfvt = fvtool(Hd,Hd_multi); legend(hfvt,'Equiripple design', 'Multirate/multistage design')
Notice that the stopband attenuation for the multistage design is about twice that of the other designs. This is because the decimators must attenuate out-of-band components by 66 dB in order to avoid aliasing that would violate the specifications. Similarly, the interpolators must attenuate images by 66 dB. You can also see that the passband gain for this design is no longer 0 dB, because each interpolator has a nominal gain (in linear units) equal to its interpolation factor, and the total interpolation factor for the three interpolators is 6.
You can check the performance of the multirate/multistage design by plotting the power spectral densities of the input and the various outputs, and you can see that the sinusoid at is attenuated comparably by both the equiripple design and the multirate/multistage design.
n = 0:1799; x = sin(0.1*pi*n') + 2*sin(0.15*pi*n'); y = filter(Hd,x); y_multi = filter(Hd_multi,x); [Pxx,w] = periodogram(x); Pyy = periodogram(y); Pyy_multi = periodogram(y_multi); plot(w/pi,10*log10([Pxx,Pyy,Pyy_multi])); xlabel('Normalized Frequency (x\pi rad/sample)'); ylabel('Power density (dB/rad/sample)'); legend('Input signal PSD','Equiripple output PSD',...

ZAMPIERON A., CORSO M. & FRIGO A.C. (2010) Undergraduate nursing students' attitudes towards organ donation: a survey in an Italian university. International Nursing Review57, 370-376 Aims: To examine undergraduate nursing students' attitudes towards organ donation and to determine whether or not attitudes were related to the students' education and training. Background: Nurses' knowledge and personal opinion can influence patient's willingness to donate organs or to hold an organ donor card. It is unclear how Italy's future nurses view organ donation. Methods: The study's source population consisted of third-year undergraduate nursing students enrolled in seven nursing schools from an Italian university during 2008. Respondents completed self-administered quantitative questionnaire with 61 questions, including the Organ Donation Attitude Scale. Findings: Of the 378 students contacted, 183 (48%) completed all survey questions; 140 were females (76.5%) and the mean age of students was 25. The median score of students' attitude scores towards organ donation was 151 (the attitude is positive when the score is higher than 161). No significant correlations were found to exist between organ-donation attitude and sex, age, clinical practice in hospitals with a transplant unit, nursing care to patients waiting for a transplant or dialysis patients. Only 16% of the students had previously signed a donor card consenting to their own organ donation. The study revealed that doubts about transplantable organs still exist within the student body. Conclusions: This study highlighted that students' awareness of organ donation was not adequate and that attitude levels were lower than in other countries. If these future workers would receive adequate training, they could promote organ donation to the general public and to other hospital personnel.

Tens of thousands of Ukrainians braved the bitter cold today to demand that President Leonid Kuchma resign, in the largest protests since the country gained independence in 1991.
Columns of protesters 40 wide marched down the main boulevard in Kiev to a rally on the second anniversary of violent demonstrations against Mr. Kuchma.
Opposition leaders and others say the president played a role in the death in 2000 of an anticorruption journalist, Georgy Gongadze, whose killer has not been found. Mr. Kuchma denies any involvement.
Mr. Kuchma's critics also accuse him of endemic corruption, abuse of office, arms dealing and vote rigging.Continue reading the main story

I've always been a Little Fighter fan so it was a pleasure to watch a related movie. The fighting scenes you made were absolutely terrific, they were the best part of this movie. I didn't like the storyline, I think it was a bit clumsy but actually I expected fighting, not a good story and fighting I got. Great job! Is Rudolf going to appear in the next part :)?
hmm check the chart of the LFA, is he there? Yup hes there, expect some sword fights soon. And improved storyline.
Nice stuff
Wow, really nice animation, are those your own little sprites or whatever you call 'ems? That takes a lotta time...if it weren't, I'd have had a movie made by now!
In my movie theres a link to where I got 'em from. It's a game, but it has sprites in 'em. Sure you can try maknig your own movie with it, I want to c wut u can do with it.
Good fun.
I'm not surprised it won, congradulations.
thx, but I was, the score was in a .05 difference the last time I saw it. Im glad you had confidence dat I will win.
Peons own.
yup, ever tried a peon rush in WarCraft III, its so fun!

A fan apparently jumped from the third deck at O.co Coliseum prior to Thursday night's game between the Denver Broncos and Oakland Raiders.
Alameda County Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. J.D. Nelson told the Oakland Tribune that the fan, whose identity has not been released, was taken to a local hospital.
Oakland police told the newspaper that the man was listed in serious condition late Thursday as a result of the incident, which occurred shortly before the 5:30 p.m. PST kickoff.
RECAP: Broncos win 8th straight vs. Raiders
The Raiders acknowledged what happened in a statement, via NBC Bay Area.
It read, "While we do not yet have any information beyond that which has been publicly reported, our thoughts and prayers are with this gentleman and his family and friends."

text: 000 FXUS63 KILX 192113 AFDILX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lincoln IL 313 PM CST Sun Feb 19 2017 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) ISSUED AT 312 PM CST Sun Feb 19 2017 Dry weather will continue tonight as a weak weather system develops to the west and moves toward the area for tomorrow. Fog will be an issue again tonight as there has not been any change in airmass since this morning and the HiRes models continue to forecast fog across the area. Will have patchy fog in the west with areas of fog in the west. Fog will also linger into the morning hours. Fog could become dense again, but hoping enough mixing has taken place today to keep visibilities from going as low as they did this morning. So advisory is not being issued at this time. Models in good agreement on timing of precip with all models suggesting that all precip will remain west of the I-55 through afternoon. However, some showers could be possible east of I-55 during the late afternoon as the system moves into the state. Temps during the day Monday will remain well above normal, with records again possible. && .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) ISSUED AT 312 PM CST Sun Feb 19 2017 Models are in very good agreement with the bulk of the precipitation coming into the CWA Monday night and then being out of the area by Tuesday afternoon. System is not very strong and looks like a simple front/mid level wave coming through, so most of the precipitation will be showers. However, very warm temps and an increase in moisture means that some isolated thunderstorms will not be out of the question. By Tuesday morning, most of the precip will have moved off to the east with only the eastern part of the CWA left with come lingering showers. By Tue afternoon, all the precip will be out of the area and well east of the state. Dry and warm weather will return for Tue night through Wed night as the CWA sits in a some-what zonal flow. This flow will keep the area in a very warm airmass for middle of the week and into the latter part of the week. Then another system will be developing in the southwest US and move out into the plains Thur into Thur night. Models are in agreement that this will be occurring but differ on timing and location of the weather and surface features, including a warm front. The Canadian has the warm front further south than the GFS and ECMWF and with such warm air we have been having the last week, believe Canadian too far south and am more inclined to side with the other two models. This system will also be deepening some as it moves out of the southern plains. There should be plenty of moisture and with dynamics increasing, showers and thunderstorms appear likely, especially in the warm sector and probably along the developing warm front. Current forecast models indicate the timing of the front through the CWA could be late enough that the best instability and dynamics would be in eastern IL Fri afternoon, then pushing east into Indiana for Friday evening. This is 5-6 days out and lots could change between now and then. However, believe showers and storms warranted in the forecast for Thur night and Fri across the CWA. As the system lifts northeast into the Great Lakes region Fri night, showers will linger in the east with any wrap around precip being north of the CWA. Dry weather then returns for a brief period for Sat and Sat night and temps will drop to slightly below normal for Sat during the day and also that night. However, this cool down will be very short lived as warm temps will quickly return for next Sunday. A weak wave will lift northeast across northwest IL and some precip is possible in northwest part of the CWA during the day. Temps will remain above normal through most of the week, but then cool briefly for Sat and Sat night. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon) Issued at 1149 AM CST Sun Feb 19 2017 Forecast mainly one of persistence now that the low level RH is in place...expecting drops to VLIFR overnight as the temps drop and the layer saturates again. VFR through today as conditions finally improve. Satellite imagery has shown that fog has eroded at ILX TAF terminals. Conditions deteriorate quickly after sunset...with the worst conditions between 06-12Z. Models keep low stratus in through mid day tomorrow. && .CLIMATE... Issued at 312 PM CST Sun Feb 19 2017 Record Highs / Record Warm Lows - Sunday Feb 19th...
