  • Patent number: 12476267
    Abstract: A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell stack having a plurality of fuel cells that each contain a plurality of fuel electrodes and air electrodes. The system includes a fuel receiving unit connected to the fuel cell stack, which receives a hydrocarbon fuel from a fuel supply. The system includes a fuel exhaust processing unit fluidly coupled to the fuel cell stack by a slip stream, where the fuel exhaust processing unit processes fuel exhaust from the fuel cell stack, and the slip stream is fluidly connected to an exhaust stream flowing from the fuel cell stack. The fuel processing unit removes a first portion of carbon dioxide (CO2) from fuel exhaust within the slip stream, outputs the first portion of CO2 in a first stream, and outputs a second portion of CO2 remaining from the fuel exhaust in the slip stream into a second stream, which includes hydrogen.

  • Publication number: 20230186209
    Abstract: Example embodiments described in this disclosure are generally directed to systems and methods for defining and operating a fleet of vehicles. In a first example method, a processor may evaluate a personal attribute of an individual such as, for example, an age of the individual (65+, under 65, infant, etc.) and/or a physical disability (requiring a wheelchair, for example). The processor selects a shared mobility service model that is defined, at least in part, on the basis of the personal attribute of the individual, and then applies the shared mobility service model to identify a first vehicle (having a wheelchair ramp, an infant seat, etc.). The identified vehicle is then assigned to provide service to the individual. In a second example method, a processor may evaluate a demography of a service area (various age groups, various physical disabilities, etc.) and generate a shared mobility service model based on the demography.

  • Publication number: 20060216556
    Abstract: A gas flow control assembly for use in a fuel cell system comprising an airflow control assembly for adjusting flow of air to a cathode side of the fuel cell system based on content variations in an exhaust gas leaving an anode side of the system and a fuel flow control assembly for controlling flow of fuel to the anode side based on adjustment to the airflow by the airflow control assembly.

  • Patent number: 4758473
    Abstract: Novel bipolar electrodes for electrochemical cells and methods for making same are provided. The bipolar electrodes comprise a pressure-molded composite of heat-treated graphite particles having a particle size distribution of 0 to 45 .mu.m and thermoplastic resin particles. The graphite and resin in the composite are in a weight ratio of from 1:5 to 1:1 and are formed by pressure-molding at 400 kg/cm.sup.2 or higher at 190.degree. C.
