  • Address Allocation Method and Computing Device for Allocating an Address to a Demarcated Location
    Publication number: 20200374659
    Abstract: An address allocation method, in which coordinate data is ascertained by a coordinate device, the data characterizing a two-dimensional position of a demarcated location, and in which the ascertained coordinate data is allocated to a sequence of words having at least several words by an allocation device. Elevation data is ascertained by an elevation determination device which characterizes an elevation of the demarcated location relative to a predetermined normal elevation. The sequence of words is adjusted by the allocation device depending on the ascertained elevation data. The sequence of words unambiguously characterizes the coordinate data and the elevation data.

  • Fuel cell assemblies with improved reactant flow
    Patent number: 10826083
    Abstract: In solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell stacks, increasing the height of support features in the transition regions and/or increasing the depth of the transition regions improves the flow of reactants therein and thus improves the sharing of flow in the channels in the reactant flow fields. The support feature height and transition region depth are increased so as to be out of plane with respect to the landings and channels in the reactant flow fields. The invention is suitable for cells employing metal flow field plates or plates in which no adhesives are employed in the transition regions.
