Abstract: A self-powered cold temperature capable flat panel display is provided to use a heat byproduct from a group of PEM fuel cells to warm the flat panel display of a laptop computer. The self-powered cold temperature capable flat panel display system comprises a flat panel display, a PEM fuel cell assembly, a means for separating the display from the PEM fuel cell assembly and a hydrogen fuel source. A slot is located below the panel and the PEM fuel cell assembly is sufficiently thin to provide adequate space in the slot for the insertion of both the separation means and the PEM fuel cell assembly. Other embodiments include a cold temperature display system and an all-climate panel display and a method for warming a panel display.

Abstract: A lead-acid (SLI) battery desulfator which is powered by the batteries wh it is conditioning when a motor associated with the batteries is off. The desulfator activates whenever an alternator supplies charge to the battery then deactivates itself upon expiration of a set time or is reset upon starting of the motor.

Abstract: A magnesium/manganese dioxide electrochemical cell that has been stored fowing partial usage is improved by increasing the cathode moisture content at the time of making the cell to reduce the self discharge and increase the operating capacity after the cell has been stored following partial usage.
