  • Publication number: 20240047719
    Abstract: A temperature control system for fuel cell includes a fuel cell under test, having two end plates, and the end plates having an area. At least two temperature regulating modules, respectively on a surface of one side of the two end plates facing outside of the fuel cell under test, and an area of a heat radiation surface of the temperature regulating module opposite the end plates is greater than or equal to a first preset proportion of the first preset value. At least two temperature detection modules, mounted to the cathode and anode of the fuel cell under test, for obtaining a measured temperature. A control module, connected to the temperature detection module and connected to the temperature regulating module, for controlling of the two temperature regulating modules to regulate the measured temperature of the cathode and anode to tend to a target temperature.

  • Publication number: 20230376391
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for improving disaster recovery, in particular disaster recovery pertaining to data transfer requests. The data transfer request can be received by each of multiple deployments; however, only a primary deployment can process the request. The data transferred by the primary deployment may be replicated in the secondary deployments. In response to a failover event, one of the secondary deployments can be designated as the new primary development and continue the data transfer based on the data transfer request and the replication information received from the old primary deployment prior to the failover.
