In vehicular or other mobile applications, an on-board SGG should generally be low cost, compact, light-weight, reliable, durable, and efficiently packaged with other components of the engine system. The SGG can be subjected to numerous on/off cycles, transient conditions, fluctuating and/or intermittent demand, extreme temperatures, temperature spikes, extreme thermal gradients and thermal cycling. Some particular challenges associated with the design and manufacture of fuel processors for vehicular or other mobile applications include the following:                (a) Reducing the volume, weight and cost of an SGG.        (b) Reducing thermal stress on components located within an SGG. Such stress can result in material fatigue and premature failure of materials, components and assemblies. Examples include:                    (1) cracking of components manufactured from ceramic materials, for example, a monolith type particulate filter;            (2) cracking of a heat exchanger; and            (3) thermal degradation of a mixing tube.                        (c) Reducing damage to SGG components that can occur during assembly. For example, thermal insulation liners manufactured from a ceramic material, tend to be vulnerable to damage during assembly of the SGG.        
The present fuel processor with improved reactor design, components and materials of manufacture is effective in addressing at least some of the issues discussed above, both in engine system applications and in other fuel processor applications. Abnormality of blood dynamics is usually occurred in hypertension, including enhancement of reflected wave, acceleration of pulse conduction and decrease of compliance. It has been clinically proven that the central arterial pressure is a key factor of recovery from hypertension. The brachium arterial blood pressure value is determined by measurement of the peripheral arterial blood pressure by traditional or electronic manometer, usually being higher than the central arterial blood pressure, such as the ascending aortic and carotid arterial blood pressure value. Due to the different effects of different medications of blood pressure-lowering medicine on the central aortic and peripheral arterial blood pressure, using the brachium arterial systolic and diastolic blood pressure measured alone by traditional or electronic manometer to estimate the central aortic blood pressure may overestimate or underestimate the effect of blood pressure-lowering medicine on the central aortic blood pressure. Hence, it is insufficient to evaluate how well the blood pressure is controlled only by measuring of the brachium arterial blood pressure.

(b) Reducing thermal stress on components located within an SGG. Such tension can result in material fatigue and premature failure of materials, component and assemblies.
