    摘要: A method and system for counteracting performance deterioration in an electrochemical fuel cell includes passive re-activation, active re-activation, or both. Active re-activation includes intermittently applying positive voltage electrical pulse across the anode. The positive voltage applied is less than that required for decomposition of water. Passive re-activation includes interposing a resistive load between the anode and the cathode while fuel stream flow to the anode is interrupted. The resistive load increases voltage potential at the anode to less than that required for oxidation of carbon.

    摘要: An energy adjusting method for controlling output energy of a fuel cell group, wherein at least one of the fuel cell group and a secondary battery group drives a load is disclosed. The voltage of the fuel cell group is boosted by a boost regulation module to generate a first adjustment voltage. The boost regulation module boosts the voltage of the fuel cell group according to a first control signal. The first adjustment voltage is dropped by a drop regulation module to generate a second adjustment voltage to the load. The drop regulation module drops the first adjustment voltage according to a second control signal. At least one of the fuel cell group, the boost regulation module, the drop regulation module and the load is detected to generate a detection result. The first and the second control signals are generated according to the detection result.

    摘要: An automatic vehicle following system is provided for controlling a following vehicle to maintain at least a predetermined distance behind a preceding vehicle and to substantially follow the path of the preceding vehicle. An on-line measurement system of the preceding vehicle generates signals indicative of the velocity (having speed and directional components) of the preceding vehicle, and a communication system transmits the velocity signals to the following vehicle. The following vehicle likewise has a communication system for receiving the signals from the preceding vehicle, and an on-line measurement system for providing signals indicative of the velocity of the following vehicle and signals indicative of the distance between the two vehicles. A signal processing system of the following vehicle is coupled to the communication system and on-line measurement system for estimating motion trajectory of the preceding vehicle based on the difference in the velocities of the preceding and following vehicles and the following distance. A control system generates control signals and takes action so as to perform speed control and maintain at least a predetermined safe following distance between the two vehicles, and steering control to substantially follow the path of the preceding vehicle.

    摘要: There is disclosed a direct fuel cell comprising an anode and a cathode immersed in an electrolyte in the presence of a reductant and oxidant. Specifically, the fuel cell lacks a permselective membrane or other chemical barrier between the anode and cathode. Instead, the fuel cell has a mechanical/electrical porous separator that permits the free diffusion of liquid between all elements of the fuel cell. The fuel cell further contains an anode electrode of conductive substrate with catalyst and a cathode comprising a hydrophobic coated material that prevents cathode flooding. As a result, oxidation of the anode fuel and reduction of the cathode fuel occur to a substantial extent only at the anode and cathode, respectively, and is capable for ambient pressure/temperature and passive operation.
