Abstract: Systems and methods present practical applications to software design and testing by providing a driver or platform that implements a simplified testing process to automate test scripting and to create multiple environments to run software and device tests. The driver or platform may be modular such that a user may add more testing scripts to an environment without re-building the environment for every test, The platform may also allow the user to make changes to each script and perform tests with specific options (e.g,, testing synchronously or asynchronously, defining the number of test executions, etc.). The platform may be configured to set up devices for each test and initiate specific drivers for each test. In some embodiments, the platform may set up each device involved in a test, start the related drivers, and create different threads for executing different aspects of the test.

Abstract: A hydrogen supply apparatus of fuel cell stack is provided. In particular, a plurality of unit cells includes a membrane electrode assembly, a separating plate disposed on two sides of the membrane electrode assembly, a coolant path, an air path, a fuel path, and an air inlet manifold communicated with the air path. An end plate is disposed on each end of the plurality of unit cells and forms an air inlet manifold in a location corresponding to the air inlet manifold of the separating plate. Additionally, a hydrogen supply apparatus is provided in the air inlet manifold of the separating plate and the air inlet manifold of the end plate that selectively supplies additional hydrogen to the cathode through the air path when needed.

Abstract: A bonding apparatus of fuel cell stack includes a lower heat plate provided at one side of a gas diffusion layer provided at both sides of a membrane electrode assembly, the lower heat plate supplying heat to the gas diffusion layer and including a steam supply line for supplying steam to the gas diffusion layer. An upper heat plate is provided at the other side of a gas diffusion layer, the upper heat plate supplying heat to the gas diffusion layer and including a steam supply line for supplying steam to the gas diffusion layer. A controller controls a supply time of the heat and steam to the lower heat plate and the upper heat plate.

Abstract: The present invention features a fuel cell stack that preferably includes an electricity generating assembly having a plurality of unit cells that are suitably disposed one after another; a pair of end plates pressedly disposed respectively at upper and lower ends of the electricity generating assembly; and a joining device suitably engaging the end plates by a rope, where pressure is applied to the electricity generating assembly by means of tension of the rope, and the length and tension of the rope is suitably controlled.
