Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a device and methods that detect the presence of a life form inside of a vehicle and attempts to rescue the life form in the event certain trigger events are detected. More specifically, the present invention utilizes advanced detection algorithms and communication protocols to minimize the instances of false detection alarms, relieving the emergency responder system from unneeded emergency calls. Furthermore, some embodiments of the devices are capable of autonomous responses to these trigger events and in some circumstances are capable of having emergency responders remotely respond to these trigger events.

Abstract: A liquid organic, fuel cell is provided which employs a solid electrolyte membrane. An organic fuel, such as a methanol/water mixture, is circulated past an anode of a cell while oxygen or air is circulated past a cathode of the cell. The cell solid electrolyte membrane is preferably fabricated from Nafion™. Additionally, a method for improving the performance of carbon electrode structures for use in organic fuel cells is provided wherein a high surface-area carbon particle/Teflon™-binder structure is immersed within a Nafion™/methanol bath to impregnate the electrode with Nafion™. A method for fabricating an anode for use in a organic fuel cell is described wherein metal alloys are deposited onto the electrode in an electro-deposition solution containing perfluorooctanesulfonic acid. A fuel additive containing perfluorooctanesulfonic acid for use with fuel cells employing a sulfuric acid electrolyte is also disclosed.
