Abstract: A fuel cell device is provided having an active central portion with an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte therebetween. At least three elongate portions extend from the active central portion, each having a length substantially greater than a width transverse thereto such that the elongate portions each have a coefficient of thermal expansion having a dominant axis that is coextensive with its length. A fuel passage extends from a fuel inlet in a first elongate portion into the active central portion in association with the anode, and an oxidizer passage extends from an oxidizer inlet in a second elongate portion into the active central portion in association with the cathode. A gas passage extends between an opening in the third elongate portion and the active central portion. For example, the passage in the third elongate portion may be an exhaust passage for the spent fuel and/or oxidizer gasses.

Abstract: Fuel cell devices and fuel cell systems are provided. The fuel cell devices may include one or more active layers containing active cells that are connected electrically in series. The active cells include anodes and cathodes spaced apart along the length, with each including a porous portion and a non-porous conductor portion. The active cells reside between opposing porous anode and cathode portions. The electrical series connections between active cells are made between the non-porous conductor portions. In certain embodiments, the electrical series connections are made by direct contact between the non-porous conductor portions. In certain embodiments, the electrical series connections are made by non-porous conductive vias or elements that extend through an intervening support structure that separates the non-porous anode conductor portions from the non-porous cathode conductor portions.

Abstract: A multilayer chip capacitor includes electrodes comprised of numerous, closely spaced conductive layers interposed within a dielectric laminate. Adjacent conductive layers are essentially non-overlapping, so that fringe capacitance between opposing electrodes provides substantially all of the capacitance. The conductive layers may be shaped to form a non-planer boundary between electrodes. An additional high frequency integrated capacitor is formed from external electrode plates. The non-planar electrode boundary principle is also applied to discoidal capacitors in the form of a non-concentric electrode boundary.

Abstract: An active cell is prepared by dispensing first electrode sub-layers, pressing in physical structures to partially embed them in an uppermost sub-layer, and dispensing more first electrode sub-layers wherein dispensing is in order of increasing porosity, then drying the sub-layers to form a first electrode layer. An electrolyte layer is then formed thereon. Further preparation includes dispensing second electrode sub-layers over the electrolyte layer, pressing in physical structures to partially embed them in an uppermost sub-layer, and dispensing more second electrode sub-layers wherein dispensing is in order of decreasing porosity, then drying the sub-layers to form a second electrode layer. A laminated stack is formed, then the physical structures are pulled out. Sintering then forms the active cell with active passages embedded in and supported by the sintered electrode layers, and with decreasing porosity in the electrode layers in a thickness direction away from the electrolyte layer.

Abstract: A single monolithic ceramic substrate has rectangular dimensions with thermal expansion dominant along the length. An inactive ceramic portion substantially surrounds a fuel cell active portion of scalable power. The active portion comprises a plurality of three-layer active structures, each including an electrolyte disposed between a first polarity electrode and a second polarity electrode, the electrolyte layers being co-fired with the inactive ceramic portion, and a first or second gas passage respectively associated with each first and second polarity electrode. The plurality of active structures are stacked in the thickness dimension with alternating polarity such that first polarity electrodes of adjacent active structures face each other with the associated first gas passage shared therebetween and second polarity electrodes of adjacent active structures face each other with the associated second gas passage shared therebetween. The power is scalable according to the number of active structures stacked to define the plurality.
