Abstract: A system includes a first load, a second load, a fuel processor, a fuel cell stack and a circuit. The fuel processor provides a fuel flow, and the fuel cell stack is coupled to the first load and adapted to provide a power in response to the fuel flow. At least some of this power is consumed by the first load. The circuit is adapted to in response to a decrease in the power produced by the fuel cell stack and consumed by the first load, determine whether to route at least some of the power produced by the fuel cell stack and not consumed by the first load to the second load, and based on the determination, selectively route some of the power that is produced by the fuel cell stack to the second load.

Abstract: A method for securing a component for manufacture. The method includes fixedly coupling a first clamping member and a biasing mechanism to a tool that includes a fixture. The fixture includes a first clamping member, a second clamping member, and a biasing mechanism. The method further includes coupling the second clamping member to the fixture, using the biasing mechanism to align the component within the tool between the first and second clamping members such that the component is maintained in position relative to the fixture, securing the component between the first and second clamping members such that the first clamping member, the second clamping member, and the component are fixedly secured in position with respect to the fixture, and retaining the component in position with respect to the fixture using the first and second clamping members.
