Abstract: A fuel cell installation includes a support structure and a cell stack assembly that is removably insertable into the support structure from an uninstalled position to an installed position during an installation procedure. The cell stack assembly includes a fitting. An interfacing structure is mounted on one of the support structure in the cell stack assembly. The interfacing structure carries a connector that is configured to receive the fitting in interconnected relationship. At least one of the fitting and the connector floats in a plane relative to the support structure during the installation procedure. In operation, the fitting engages the connector when the cell stack assembly is inserted into the support structure. The fitting is repositioned relative to the connector to ensure that the fitting and connector are aligned with one another and connected upon installation. Related methods are disclosed.

Abstract: Briefly, the present disclosure is directed to methods and apparatus that allow for the synchronization with, and measurement reporting of, unlicensed frequency carriers. A method and apparatus for synchronizing to an Scell operating on an unlicensed carrier determine, at a UE (108, 116), one or more measurement instances where a discovery signal may be transmitted, for example, by a base station (132), on the Scell from a higher layer configuration message. The method and apparatus may monitor a control channel for a control channel message and determine whether the discovery signal will be transmitted during one or more measurement instances on the Scell. The method and apparatus may detect the discovery signal transmission on the Scell during one or more of the measurement instances. The method and apparatus may also synchronize to and/or measure the Scell based on detected discovery signal transmissions.

Abstract: A wireless communications system base station (101), upon receiving (202) from a mobile station (102) a wireless transmission that comprises a suggested transmitter-receiver configuration, can respond (in appropriate instances) by automatically transmitting (203) to the mobile station a wireless transmission comprising an indication to use instead a default transmitter-receiver configuration. By one approach, the latter action can be based, at least in part, upon a determination regarding reliability (301) of that suggested transmitter-receiver configuration (which might comprise, for example, a direct or indirect measure of quality of the channel by the default transmitter-receiver configuration was received) to provide a corresponding reliability assessment. The latter can then be used (302) to determine whether to use this suggested transmitter-receiver configuration for a subsequent communication with the mobile station.
