  • Patent number: 11742503
    Abstract: A method is provided for operating a fuel cell stack with improved performance recovery from sub-saturated conditions, the method comprising setting an alert for the performance recovery of the fuel cell stack, performing at least one oxidant starvation by supplying oxidant at a stoichiometric ratio below 1 to the fuel cell stack in at least one pulse for a preset amount of time and at low current while the fuel cell stack does not generate power. The fuel cell system with an improved performance recovery comprises a shorting circuit which is connected to the fuel cell stack at predetermined times (startup, shutdown or standby mode) and an air compressor powered by a DC-DC converter which supplies a predetermined number of oxidant pulses of a predetermined duration to the fuel cell stack.

  • Publication number: 20210365557
    Abstract: A method for external access control to protect system-on-chip (SoC) subsystems and stored subsystem assets is described. The method includes sensing, during a cold boot of an SoC hardware system, a debug fuse vector for access to SoC subsystems of an SoC owner and/or third-party subsystems of an SoC hardware architecture. The method also includes disabling access to each SoC subsystem with a blown fuse in the debug fuse vector. The method further includes re-enabling, by a secure root of trust, access to an SoC subsystem and/or a third-party subsystem for an external debugger when authentication of one or more debug certificates of a third-party owner of the external debugger is successful.

  • Patent number: 9846612
    Abstract: Various embodiments of methods and systems for bit flip identification for debugging and/or power management in a system on a chip (“SoC”) are disclosed. Exemplary embodiments seek to identify bit flip occurrences near in time to the occurrences by checking parity values of data blocks as the data blocks are written into a memory component. In this way, bit flips occurring in association with a write transaction may be differentiated from bit flips occurring in association with a read transaction. The distinction may be useful, when taken in conjunction with various parameter levels identified at the time of a bit flip recognition, to debug a memory component or, when in a runtime environment, adjust thermal and power policies that may be contributing to bit flip occurrences.
