The cells are never mentioned directly outside of the episode "Orac" (that I can find with a quick search anyway)
Tariel cells were mentioned in other episodes, such as Orbit (where Egrorian explains that Orac & the tachyon funnel will survive the shuttle crash due to the resilient nature of tariel cells & lyclinic plaques(?)). However, there is not much extra information that can be used to explain how they work. Perhaps the reference to Orac's carrier beam in Star One is a clue.
