Abstract: A burner resistant to flashback is disclosed. In one embodiment the burner includes a wall configured to contain a fuel gas within an enclosed volume of the burner. The burner includes a plurality of apertures formed in the wall. The apertures provide fluid communication from the enclosed volume to an environment surrounding the burner. The plurality of apertures have an effective diameter smaller than a quenching distance of the fuel gas.

Abstract: Provided are flexible hybrid interconnect circuits and methods of forming thereof. A flexible hybrid interconnect circuit comprises multiple conductive layers, stacked and spaced apart along the thickness of the circuit. Each conductive layer comprises one or more conductive elements, one of which is operable as a high frequency (HF) signal line. Other conductive elements, in the same and other conductive layers, form an electromagnetic shield around the HF signal line. Some conductive elements in the same circuit are used for electrical power transmission. All conductive elements are supported by one or more inner dielectric layers and enclosed by outer dielectric layers. The overall stack is thin and flexible and may be conformally attached to a non-planar surface. Each conductive layer may be formed by patterning the same metallic sheet. Multiple pattern sheets are laminated together with inner and outer dielectric layers to form a flexible hybrid interconnect circuit.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of supplying a fuel gas to a fueling system is disclosed. The method may include pre-fill inerting the fueling system; leak-checking the fueling system; charging a pilot subsystem with the fuel gas; filling the fueling system with the fuel gas; and post-fill inerting the fueling system. In many implementations, the fueling system may be associated with a boat. The fuel gas may be hydrogen and may be supplied to a fuel cell that converts the hydrogen to electrical energy to power a propulsion system of the boat.
