  • Publication number: 20240021852
    Abstract: A system, method and apparatus are disclosed for enabling the efficient utilization of hydrogen as an emissions-free fuel for airships and other aircraft, including in one embodiment for transporting cryogenic hydrogen as the airship's payload. A system, method and apparatus are disclosed to provide substantially higher net energy density for the propulsion system, optimizing the weight of the cryogenic tanks, utilizing boiloff directly or indirectly for propulsion power, and employing a novel thermal management system both to cool the fuel cells and help regulate the conversion of liquid hydrogen into gas. A system, method and apparatus are also disclosed for ground-based facilities including strategically located depots, optionally supplied by such hydrogen transport vehicles, and utilizing a novel thermal compression system to store, pressurize and distribute hydrogen, including but not limited to gaseous hydrogen pipelines, transport trailers, and dispensing systems.

  • Publication number: 20090077038
    Abstract: A method for audibly verifying the identity of a subject while dictating a report with a system comprising an input device and a computer includes entering alpha-numeric indicia into the system with the input device where the alpha-numeric indicia are related to the identity of the subject of the dictation. The entered alpha-numeric indicia are transmitted from the system to a records database coupled to the computer. Subject identifiers are received by the system when a record is found in the records database which has identifying indicia corresponding to the entered alpha-numeric indicia. The subject identifiers associated with the record are audibly communicated to a user of the system. The user of the system may use the audibly communicated subject identifiers to verify that the entered alpha-numeric indicia correspond to the subject on which the dictation is being performed.
