Publication number: 20170324102Abstract: A fuel cell system comprises a fuel cell having an anode flow path extending through the fuel cell between an anode inlet and an anode outlet, and a cathode flow path extending through the fuel cell between a cathode inlet and a cathode outlet. An anode purge valve is coupled to the anode outlet and has an outlet coupled to the cathode inlet. A purge valve controller is configured to effect a purge cycle by opening and closing the anode purge valve and to monitor a fuel cell voltage profile during the purge cycle to determine an operational state of the anode purge valve. A fuel cell voltage drop during a period following a command signal instructing opening of the anode purge valve is used to indicate successful start of a purge cycle. A fuel cell voltage rise during a period following a command signal instructing closing of the anode purge valve is used to indicate a successful end to a purge cycle.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2015Publication date: November 9, 2017Applicant: Intelligent Energy LimitedInventors: Gareth David John Nash, David Edgar, Emma Caroline Louise Burrow

Patent number: 9160631Abstract: A system and method for summarizing changes between a first set of metrics and a second set of metrics are disclosed. An example method includes obtaining and categorizing a first set of metrics for an application. A second set of metrics for the application may be obtained and categorized. A statistical process may be used to determine metrics that should be displayed. Metrics may be organized into a metric tree data structure that is hierarchical including parent metrics and child submetrics. Metrics that have been determined to be displayed may be displayed in the tree data structure so that the metrics are selectable with a single user input. In response to receiving a selection of a metric via the single user input, traffic categories and submetrics may be displayed that are children of the metric within the tree data structure may be displayed.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2014Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: David Edgar Lluncor, Joel Darnauer, Richard Charles Chiburis
