    摘要: A fuel-cell assembly has a plurality of unit cells, each of the unit cells comprising an anode, an electrolyte, a cathode, and a current collector. The fuel-cell assembly has a plurality of electrical interconnection elements, at least one electrical interconnection element being connected respectively to each anode, to each cathode, and to each current collector of the unit cells. The unit cells are arranged in a stack and are mechanically supported by electrical interconnection elements such that each of the unit cells of the stack has at least one edge free to move relative to the electrical interconnection elements.

    摘要: A method for making a photonic structure, including creating a first vapor stream of a first vapor material, the first vapor stream having a first non-uniform flux in at least one direction; and moving a substrate in at least a portion of the vapor stream. In addition, the method includes depositing the first vapor material on a first major surface of said substrate, and forming a first layer and a density gradient in the first layer during deposition. The first layer is disposed on and the density gradient is in a direction perpendicular to the first major surface.

    摘要: A fuel cell has a MEMS fuel-cell structure including an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte, formed on a substrate, a portion of the substrate being removed from beneath the MEMS structure to leave the MEMS structure suspended in membrane form. An opening may extend through the substrate to leave the MEMS fuel-cell structure in a cantilevered configuration, supported by only one edge. Additional openings may be formed to relieve mechanical stress near an edge or edges supporting the MEMS fuel-cell structure, and/or to limit heat-conducting paths. Specially adapted methods are disclosed for fabricating the MEMS-based fuel cell in any of its various configurations.
