Abstract: A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell and a fuel system. The fuel cell includes a housing and a fuel cell stack positioned in the housing. The fuel cell stack is configured to produce an electrochemical reaction from a fuel and air to output electricity. The fuel system includes a fuel source, a fuel vaporizer, and fuel lines through which fuel flows from the fuel source to the fuel vaporizer and from the fuel vaporizer to the fuel cell stack. The fuel vaporizer includes a conductive tube through which the fuel flows, the conductive tube being in contact with the housing to conduct heat from the housing to the fuel to vaporize the fuel.

Abstract: A tool on which material (M) can be moulded to form a moulded article, the tool comprising a surface, which may be provided on a surface layer, defining one or more pathways for the removal of gaseous material from beneath the material (M) being moulded on the tool.

Abstract: A method of moulding a fibre reinforced resinous material comprising providing fibrous reinforcement in an initially uncured resin matrix, initiating a cycle which will result in the curing of the matrix and which includes an initial cure phase and a post cure phase, and selecting any one or more of the resin system, cure phases or initial cure temperature so that the sum of the fractional thickness change during the initial cure phase and the fractional thickness change during the post cure phase being equal to or differing by a predetermined amount from the fractional dimensional change in the plane of the fibre reinforcement at the desired end-use temperature at which greatest dimensional accuracy is required.
