Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed systems and methods provide techniques for dynamically allocating processing tasks between in-vehicle and remote processing resources. In various embodiments, aspects of the disclosed systems and methods may advantageously use relatively low latency edge cloud and/or cloud processing resources accessed via higher speed wireless networks to enhance processing resources available to a vehicle for use in a variety of control and/or operation decisions. Consistent with various disclosed embodiments, processing tasks may be dynamically allocated based on relative impact and/or importance to safe vehicle operation, network latency between a vehicle and remote processing resources, available network bandwidth between a vehicle and remote processing resources, network traffic, processing complexity, processing resource availability, and/or the like.

Abstract: The invention relates to a biocatalytic direct alcohol fuel cell comprising an anode chamber, one or more cathode chambers, and an ion exchange membrane between the chambers. The anode chamber contains a biocatalyst for oxidation of the fuel, and the cathode chamber contains a chemical catalyst, a biocatalyst or a combination thereof for reduction of oxygen or a corresponding oxidant.

Abstract: An arrangement and method for generating electric power, the arrangement comprising several biocatalytic fuel cell units for generating electric power. The arrangement also comprises one ore more capacitors for balancing and storing the voltage generated by the biocatalytic fuel cell units, and means for connecting the voltage generated by the biocatalytic fuel cell units cyclically to the one or more capacitors.
