  • Publication number: 20250132363
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for operating molten carbonate fuel cells to produce increased amounts of H2 in the anode effluent while still maintaining operation of the cell within conventional operation boundaries, such as having a temperature differential between the cathode input flow and the cathode effluent of 35° C. or more, with the cathode effluent being hotter than the cathode input flow. This temperature differential between the cathode input flow and the cathode effluent while still producing excess hydrogen is achieved in part by a) passing an input flow containing hydrocarbons and/or reformable fuel into an external reformer, b) reforming 20 vol % or more of the hydrocarbons and/or reformable fuel in the external reformer prior to c) passing the partially reformed input flow into a fuel cell or fuel cell stack where additional reforming is performed in the anode(s) and/or in a reforming element in the fuel cell stack.

  • Publication number: 20240422020
    Abstract: This application discloses a device collaboration method. A first electronic device establishes a collaboration connection to a second electronic device. The first electronic device obtains a first instance attribute of a first data object and a second instance attribute of a second data object. The first electronic device sends the first instance attribute to the second electronic device through a first session, and sends the second instance attribute to the second electronic device through a second session. In this way, two data objects that are the same on the first electronic device and the second electronic device are associated with a same session identifier. The first electronic device may monitor attribute changes of data objects of different types, and send only a data object whose attribute changes to the second electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20240313239
    Abstract: Molten carbonate fuel cell configurations are provided that allow introduction of an anode input gas flow on a side of the fuel cell that is adjacent to the entry side for the cathode input gas flow while allowing the anode and cathode to operate under co-current flow and/or counter-current flow conditions. Improved flow properties can be achieved within the anode or cathode during co-current flow or counter-current flow operation by diverting the input flow for the anode or cathode into an extended edge seal region (in an extended edge seal chamber) adjacent to the active area of the anode or cathode, and then using a baffle to provide sufficient pressure drop for even flow distribution of the anode input flow across the anode or cathode input flow across the cathode. A second baffle can be used to create a pressure drop at the anode or cathode exit.

  • Patent number: 12067358
    Abstract: A method is performed at a computing device having a display, processors, and memory. A user inputs a natural language expression, directed to a selected data source, in a first region of a graphical user interface. The device parses the natural language expression and determines that the natural language expression specifies a data table from the data source either (i) directly by identifying the data table specified in the natural language expression or (ii) indirectly by identifying a data value specified in the natural language expression. The data value is a data value of a data field within the data table. In response, the device generates and displays, in the graphical user interface, a count of data rows of the data table, and a rendering of data rows and data columns of the data table.

  • Publication number: 20240239042
    Abstract: A method of binder jet additive manufacturing (BJAM) is provided. The method includes feeding a supply of powder particles to a powder bed, delivering an organic binder onto the powder bed in select locations of each layer to form a porous green part, and introducing to the binder a secondary component that chemically reacts with the binder to form a solid polymer matrix around the powder particles. The secondary component is introduced either by: (i) infiltration of the secondary component into the porous green part; or (ii) by combining the secondary component with the powder particles prior to feeding the powder particles to the powder bed. A binder system for BJAM is also provided. The binder system includes a reactive pair including an organic binder that is capable of being deposited on a powder bed; and a secondary component that is reactive with the organic binder.

  • Publication number: 20240140792
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing both reforming and partial oxidation as part of the reaction step of a reaction cycle in a cyclic reaction environment such as a reverse flow reaction environment, where heat is provided by direct heating during a regeneration step. In some aspects, performing a combination of reforming and partial oxidation can allow for higher conversion of hydrocarbons than reforming alone while reducing or minimizing the peak temperatures within the cyclic reaction environment. In some aspects, performing both reforming and partial oxidation can also allow for an improved molar ratio of H2 to CO in the resulting effluent from the conversion reaction (relative to partial oxidation) while still maintaining high total conversion.
