摘要:
A fuel cell assembly includes a plurality of opposing fuel cell stacks. Each of the fuel stacks has a plurality of fuel cells in which each fuel cell has an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte. The fuel cell assembly further includes a spacing member disposed between the fuel cell stacks thereby defining a fluidic cavity.

A MEMS-based fuel cell has a substrate, an electrolyte in contact with the substrate, a cathode in contact with the electrolyte, an anode spaced apart from the cathode and in contact with the electrolyte, and an integral manifold for supplying either a fuel or an oxidant or both together, the integral manifold extending over at least a portion of the electrolyte and over at least one of the anode and cathode. Methods for making and using arrays of the fuel cells are disclosed.

The present invention provides a solid oxide fuel cell system comprising at least one fuel cell and at least one gas flow channel to deliver a reactant mixture. The fuel cell comprises at least one chamber to house at least one anode, at least one cathode, and at least one electrolyte, and the fuel cell is adapted to receive a reactant mixture comprising reactants mixed prior to delivery to the fuel cell. The one or more gas flow channels for delivering the reactant mixture have characteristic dimensions that are less than a quench distance of the reactant mixture at an operating temperature within the solid oxide fuel cell system.

Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer program products for performing an on-demand book balance to physical balance reconciliation process for liquid product. The method can include receiving an indication that a delivery of product is about to occur at a retail facility. Based on the received indication, and optionally while fuel is dispensed from one or more storage tanks, a first book balance to physical balance reconciliation can be initiated for one or more storage tanks at the retail facility prior to receiving a delivery of liquid product. Following completion of the first book to physical balance reconciliation, an amount of liquid product as indicated on a delivery document is delivered and then the system automatically performs a second book to physical reconciliation process to identify one or more discrepancies between the amount of liquid product in the storage tanks and a physical amount of liquid product actually delivered.

A wideband, passive detector of electromagnetic fields in free space is disclosed. The apparatus is especially designed to minimize amplitude perturbations of the electromagnetic field being monitored. The apparatus includes an electro-optic modulator having first and second surfaces with electrodes attached thereto and a third and fourth surfaces intersecting an optical path. An electrically small dipole or loop antenna has a first electrode connected to the first electrode of the modulator and a second electrode connected to the second electrode of the modulator, for converting electromagnetic fields intercepted in free space to a voltage signal to be applied to the first and second electrodes of the modulator. A loading resistor may be added in parallel with the electrodes to improve system bandwidth. A light source is located along the optical path, for transmitting light into the modulator through the third surface. The modulator modulates the light entering through the third surface, as it traverses the modulator, with the voltage signal impressed upon the first and second surfaces by the antenna means. An optical detector is located along the optical path for detecting the modulated light along the optical path as it exits from the modulator through the fourth surface. In this manner, weak electromagnetic fields may be detected and their amplitude, phase and frequency measured with a minimal perturbation due to a lack of metallic wires attached to the antenna as in conventional field measurement systems.

A hood for facilitating the use of a BBQ-grill system to bake a pizza, includes a body, and a door. The body is moveable relative to a cooking surface of a BBQ-grill system to a first position in which the body covers the cooking surface, and to a second position in which the body exposes the cooking surface of the BBQ-grill system to the ambient environment. The hood's body has a portal sized to allow a pizza to pass through, and is configured such that when the body is in the first position, the body and the BBQ's cooking surface, together, define an enclosure in which heat that is generated by the BBQ-grill system is trapped. The hood's door is coupled with the body and moveable relative to the body to a first position that closes the portal, and to a second position that opens the portal. When the hood's body is in the first position and the door is in the second position, a pizza may be inserted into the volume defined by the body and the cooking surface without a substantial loss of heat inside the volume.

Disclosed are systems and methods for the central control and monitoring of delivery of liquid product. The methods can be performed within a system that includes a centralized inventory management system. The method can include receiving at the centralized inventory management system a request from a carrier for instructions relating to delivery of liquid product. Based on data monitored by the centralized inventory management system, the centralized inventory management system can determine a type and volume of liquid product needed in one retail store facility selected from a plurality of retail store facilities and then post an order providing instructions to the carrier regarding liquid product needed in the selected retail store facility.
