  • Publication number: 20140195254
    Abstract: A method for optimizing collection and usage of a necessary bodily fluid comprises determining an historical demand of the bodily fluid, measuring a first external contingent factor, creating a donor recruitment plan based at least in part on the historical demand and the external contingent factor, implementing the donor recruitment plan to recruit a number of donors, determining estimated units based at least in part on the number of donors and a second external contingent factor, collecting total units of the necessary bodily fluid, and calculating a variance between the total units and the estimated units to produce a real-time demand driven adjustment.

  • Publication number: 20110212372
    Abstract: A fuel cell system (with reference to a single cell arrangement) comprising means to provide for the reciprocating, oscillating and or vibrational motion-movement of an assembly comprised of an electrolyte sandwiched between an anode-electrode and a cathode-electrode; said motion-movement serving to accelerate electrochemical activity within the fuel cell by providing for accelerated reactant exposure to respective electrodes; including instant water removal at the cathode-electrode surface; and boosted cooling to said anode-electrode; while offering accelerated (anti electroosmotic) moisturizing to the specific benefit of the anode side of a polymer electrolyte.

  • Publication number: 20080057368
    Abstract: A fuel cell system (with reference to a single cell arrangement) comprising means to provide for the motion-movement of an assembly comprised of an electrolyte sandwiched between an anode-electrode and a cathode-electrode; said motion-movement serving to accelerate electrochemical activity within the fuel cell by providing for accelerated reactant exposure to respective electrodes; including instant centrifugal water removal at the cathode-electrode surface; and boosted cooling to said anode-electrode; while offering accelerated (anti electroosmotic) moisturizing to the specific benefit of the anode side of a polymer-electrolyte.
