Abstract: A conformable fuel cell is provided which includes a basic structure that provides flexibility while providing a high compression along the active surface of the fuel cell's membrane electrode assembly, which can be achieved by an injection-molded frame. A suitable fuel is delivered to the anode aspect of the fuel cell. Effective water management could also be provided by appropriate diffusion layers. The fuel cell can be contour-molded to a desired shape, or can be constructed of an array of flexibly connected individual fuel cells that overall have a curvilinear shape, or can be constructed as a pliable fuel cell that can be incorporated into an application device or an article of clothing.

Abstract: A fuel cell which provides improved performance during a cold start. Several embodiments are provided to enable the controlled introduction of fuel into the cathode of the fuel cell such that oxidation occurs, heat is released and the temperature of the fuel cell is raised. Such fuel may be introduced into the cathode directly or may be introduced into the anode and allowed to crossover an electrolytic membrane. Alternatively, the fuel may be directed through a special conduit which allows oxidation of some of the fuel as it flows through.

Abstract: For a direct oxidation fuel cell system in which the source fuel is diluted with a diluting fluid prior to entering the fuel cell generally, and for a Direct Methanol Fuel Cell System (DMFC) in which the methanol source fuel is diluted with water, the dielectric constant of the fuel mix comprising the source fuel and the diluting fluid is measured to determine the relative proportions of source fuel and diluting fluid within this fuel mix. This measurement may then be used in a feedback loop to control the subsequent mixing of the source fuel with the diluting fluid, and in particular, to adjust the mix in the event the fuel mix is too rich or too dilute as compared to a desired mixing proportion. Additionally, a second dielectric constant measurement is used to determine the source fuel level of a fuel tank providing source fuel to the fuel cell. Finally, an optional telecommunications link is used to automatically order a source fuel refill when the source fuel runs low.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing heat generated by a device that is powered at least in part by a direct oxidation fuel cell. Additional heat tends to improve the reaction in the direct oxidation fuel cell, and so unwanted heat produced by a powered device can be harnessed to increase the temperature of the reaction in the direct oxidation fuel cell. By doing so, the performance of the fuel cell can be enhanced and the temperature of the heat-generating portion of the device maintained.
