Patent number: 6817879Abstract: Various service port configurations for the transfer of fluids, gases and electricity between a service terminal and a vehicle are provided. The service port includes a receptacle and a controller. The receptacle includes a clamp and a clamp actuator for actuating the clamp; a service exchange interface in between the clamp; and sensors inside the receptacle and configured to monitor the position of a plug inside the receptacle. The controller is connected to the sensors and the actuator, and monitors the sensors. When a sensor detects that a plug is in position for engagement, the controller instructs the clamp actuator to move the clamp until the plug is clamped with sufficient force to enable a service to be exchanged. The receptacle and the plug are couplable to either the service port or a vehicle and a service terminal, and both are implementable at a multiplicity of locations on a vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2002Date of Patent: November 16, 2004Assignee: General Hydrogen CorporationInventors: Alan John Mulvenna, David Michael Routtenberg, John David Trevor Graham, William Edward Mufford

Patent number: 6810925Abstract: A hydrogen fueling station and system for hydrogen fueled vehicles that can transfer any gaseous fuel to any vehicle and can be located in any place where a vehicle can park and where environmental, safety and other regulatory requirements permit gaseous fuel to be transferred. The hydrogen fueling station is vertically elongate and includes an enclosure that has a plurality of housings to house groups of like components. The housings are configured and positively ventilated with external air to prevent the accumulation of leaked hydrogen.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2003Date of Patent: November 2, 2004Assignee: General Hydrogen CorporationInventors: John David Trevor Graham, Alan John Mulvenna, William Edward Mufford, Joachim George Borck, James Ko, Matthew Albert MacLennan Harper

Patent number: 6691749Abstract: This invention relates to a service coupling for coupling a vehicle to a service port such that one or more services are transferable therebetween. The coupling comprises a plug comprising at least one service engagement portion; and a receptacle comprising an opening to receive the plug, and at least one service engagement portion positioned to engage the plug service engagement portion when the plug is inserted into the receptacle. The engagement is such that a service is transferable between the plug and receptacle. At least one of the plug and receptacle service engagement portions is arcuate thereby enabling engagement to be maintained between the plug and receptacle engagement portions when the plug is rotated about the axis and within the arc-length of the arcuate engagement portion.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2002Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: General Hydrogen CorporationInventors: Alan John Mulvenna, John David Trevor Graham
