Abstract: The present disclosure relates to method and computing system for facilitating social distancing for an area having a crowd of people. The method comprises identifying a plurality of regions in an area. Further, the method comprises classifying each of the regions as either a sparse zone or a crowded zone based on a crowding level of the region. Furthermore, the method comprises controlling an indicator to provide an alert to the people in one of the regions that has been classified as a crowded zone providing information relating to one of the regions that has been classified as a sparse zone.

Abstract: A solid oxide fuel cell system and method, the system including a hotbox containing a fuel cell stack, a fuel supply configured to provide a fuel to the fuel cell stack, and a blower configured to provide air to the fuel cell stack.
