  • Publication number: 20230047374
    Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter relates to devices, systems, and methods of producing an improved fluid flow assembly and liquid/gas diffusion layer in solid polymer electrolyte electrochemical cells. In one aspect, a fluid flow assembly for a polymer electrolyte water electrolyzer includes a flow field having an inlet, an outlet, and a plurality of discrete lands arranged within the flow field. A liquid/gas diffusion layer is positioned in communication with the flow field between the inlet and the outlet, the liquid/gas diffusion layer having a solid substrate through which a plurality of pores is formed. The disclosed bipolar plate flow field and liquid/gas diffusion layer could work together or separately with other types of porous transport layers or bipolar plates to enhance the water/gas transport. In these configurations, the lands can be arranged and configured such that the plurality of pores are substantially unobstructed by the lands.

  • Patent number: 7437685
    Abstract: Logical, safe, personalizable, and user friendly computer user interfaces may include: (a) plural branches; (b) plural sub-branches associated with the branches; and (c) an interface control that includes: a branch locking interface, a sub-branch locking interface, a branch display control interface, and/or a sub-branch display control interface. Optionally or alternatively, user interfaces may include: (a) a first section including plural items having a first common visual characteristic; and (b) a second section including plural items having a second common visual characteristic. In this manner, the common visual characteristics may indicate an association between the items sharing the characteristic.
