Abstract: A solid state storage system includes a pressure-sealed storage unit defining an interior and having an outlet, an upper manifold and a lower manifold separated by a dividing plane having a set of ports, a set of chambers, and a solid state storage, wherein at least some gas is supplied to the outlet.

Abstract: A hydrogen storage system includes a pressure-sealed storage unit defining an interior and having an outlet, an upper manifold and a lower manifold separated by a dividing plane having a set of ports, a set of chambers, and a hydrogen storage, wherein at least some hydrogen gas is supplied to the outlet.

Abstract: A circuit to mitigate arc failures in an electrical power distribution system can include a solid state distribution system connected to a source of power and to a load, a solid state power controller (SSPC) having a set of field effect transistors (FETs) responsive to command signals from the SSPC wherein an arc in a wire bond of a failed FET can trigger a predetermined sequence to quench the arc and isolate remaining wire bond material in the failed FET from contaminating a creepage path.

Abstract: A system for aircraft power distribution (100) includes a source of energy (112) to deliver an input power; a bus contactor (122); a set of switches (130) connected between the bus contactor and a set of essential and non-essential devices (132); a current analysis component (315) to determine a power level drawn from the source of current by the set of essential and non-essential devices (132); a variation reduction component (317) to determine an energization schedule of the set of essential and non-essential devices (132) based on reducing temporal variation in the input power drawn from the source of energy (112) to the bus contactor (122); and a switch control component (319) configured to adjust the set of switches (130) according to the energization schedule. If too much power is drawn, the set of switches (130) will be configured such as not to exceed the maximum power rating of the source (112).
