Abstract: A joist assembly system that is structured for dynamic retrieval of components, dynamic and precise positioning and location of retrieved components, assembly of the components to form a joist, and delivery of the assembled joist. The joist assembly system has a plurality of material handling systems, a plurality of welding systems, and a rigging table system. The material handling systems are structured to load and position the components such as chords and webs onto the rigging table. The rigging table in turn supports the chords or webs. Subsequently, the plurality of welding systems weld the webs to the chords to form the joist.

Abstract: A method of restoring a low cell voltage of a fuel cell in a fuel cell system to a normal cell voltage without reducing a total power output level of the fuel cell system is disclosed. The method includes operating the fuel cell system at a selected total power output level, monitoring a cell voltage of the fuel cell, detecting a low cell voltage of the fuel cell, maintaining the selected total power output level of the fuel cell system and restoring the fuel cell from the low cell voltage to the normal cell voltage by increasing flow of a gas to the fuel cell from a baseline stoichiometry to an elevated stoichiometry.

Abstract: A method for operating a hybrid vehicle and a hybrid vehicle 10 which operates in accordance with the method. Particularly, the hybrid vehicle 10 includes a pair of torque generators 12, 14 which provide torque by moving in dissimilar directions as the hybrid vehicle 10 is started and stopped, thereby reducing inertia related noise and vibration.
