摘要： A method for improving the efficiency of a hydrocarbon catalytic reformer and close-coupled fuel cell system by recycling a percentage of the anode exhaust syngas directly into the reformer in a range between about 20% and about 60%. Oxygen is supplied to the reformer at start-up. Under equilibrium conditions, oxygen required for reforming of hydrocarbon fuel is derived entirely from endothermic reforming of water and carbon dioxide in the recycled syngas. Recycling of anode syngas into the reformer increases fuel efficiency, adds excess water to the reformate to increase protection against anode coking, and protects the fuel cell stack against air- and water-borne contaminants. A method for producing an excess amount of syngas for exporting for other purposes is also provided.

摘要翻译： 通过将一定比例的阳极排气合成气直接再循环到重整器中，在约20％至约60％之间的范围内提高烃催化重整器和紧密耦合燃料电池系统的效率的方法。 启动时将氧气提供给重整器。 在平衡条件下，烃燃料重整所需的氧气完全来源于再循环合成气中水和二氧化碳的吸热重整。 将阳极合成气再循环到重整器中可提高燃料效率，为重整产品添加过量的水以增加对阳极焦化的保护，并保护燃料电池堆免受空气和水传播的污染物的影响。 还提供了用于生产用于出口用于其它目的的过量合成气的方法。

摘要： A planar endothermic reformer assembly comprising only a few macrochannels rather than many microchannels as in the prior art. The macrochannels are arranged alternately in a stack for reforming and hot gas flow in a cross-flow reformer/heat exchanger. The assembly includes four manifolds. An external combustor supplies heat to the hot gas macrochannels in the reformer/heat exchanger stack for endothermic reforming, resulting in low temperature gradients in the reforming macrochannels. The macrochannels, having no dimension less than 2.0 mm, contain metal substrates for heat transfer as well as for support for the catalytic washcoat and may comprise packs of corrugated sheet metal such as Haynes or Inconell; packs of wire mesh; metallic foam made of Fecralloy, Haynes, Inconel, or higher conductivity material; or stacks of metallic felt material. The metallic substrates are brazed into the reforming channels and the hot flow channels to ensure maximum heat transfer for highest reforming efficiencies.

摘要： A push to talk (PTT) user interface for a wireless communications device utilizes a single all contacts database. The database is updated and utilized by the user in either a “PTT contacts” list screen or in an “all contacts” list screen. These screens are used for direct PTT calls, group PTT calls, alert calls, and standard cellular voice calls. Push to talk contacts are defined by the user and are stored on the wireless device. A direct PTT call allows a user to place a PTT call to another party or to a group with more than one party. The user can create a group “ad hoc” PTT call by selecting multiple contacts from the PTT contacts list screen. The PTT contact screen also is utilized to send an “alert” message to an individual with a PTT contact number. The alert message is either a brief text message or simply an “Alert” without text. During a PTT call, the user can view a variety of screens to add another party to the active PTT call and to save or edit participant information. When a user has missed a group call, the user can join the call late by using a call history list. During an active PTT call, the wireless communications device provides notification of other incoming PTT calls, and allows the user to “answer”, i.e., switch, to the new call.

摘要翻译： 用于无线通信设备的一键通（PTT）用户界面利用单个全部联系人数据库。 用户在“PTT联系人”列表屏幕或“所有联系人”列表屏幕中更新和使用数据库。 这些屏幕用于直接PTT呼叫，组PTT呼叫，警报呼叫和标准蜂窝语音呼叫。 一键通联系人由用户定义并存储在无线设备上。 直接PTT呼叫允许用户将PTT呼叫发送到另一方或具有多方的组。 用户可以通过从PTT联系人列表屏幕中选择多个联系人来创建组“即席”PTT呼叫。 PTT联系人屏幕也用于向具有PTT联系号码的个人发送“警报”消息。 警报消息是简短的短信，也可以是简短的“警报”，无文本。 在PTT呼叫期间，用户可以查看各种屏幕以将另一方添加到活动的PTT呼叫并保存或编辑与会者信息。 当用户错过了群组呼叫时，用户可以通过使用呼叫历史列表加入呼叫。 在活动的PTT呼叫期间，无线通信设备提供其他进入的PTT呼叫的通知，并且允许用户“回答”，即切换到新呼叫。
