  • Publication number: 20220191071
    Abstract: A data receiver circuit includes a summer circuit configured to receive an input signal that encodes multiple data symbols, and combine the input signal with a feedback signal to generate an equalized input signal, which is used to generate a clock signal. The data receiver circuit also includes multiple data slicer circuits that sample, using the clock signal and multiple voltage offsets, the equalized input signal to generate multiple samples of a particular data symbol. A precursor compensation circuit included in the data receiver circuit may generate an output value for the particular data symbol using the multiple samples. The data receiver circuit also includes a post cursor compensation circuit that generates the feedback signal using at least one of the multiple samples and a value of a previously received sample.

  • Publication number: 20220093945
    Abstract: A dehydrogenation method for hydrogen storage materials, which is executed by a fuel cell system. The fuel cell system includes a hydrogen storage material tank, a heating unit, a fuel cell, a pump, a water thermal management unit and a heat recovery unit. The described dehydrogenation method utilizes the heating unit and the heat recovery unit to provide thermal energy to the hydrogen storage material tank, so that hydrogen storage material is heated to the dehydrogenation temperature. The pump extracts hydrogen from the hydrogen storage material tank, so that the hydrogen storage material is under negative pressure (i.e. H2 absolute pressure below 1 atm), according to which the hydrogen storage material is dehydrogenated, and the dehydrogenation efficiency and the amount of hydrogen release are improved. The method n can reduce the dehydrogenation temperature of the hydrogen storage material, and reduce the thermal energy consumption for heating the hydrogen storage material.
