    Abstract: A molded multi-part flow field structure includes a molded flow field plate formed of a conductive material comprising a first polymer. A molded frame is disposed around the flow field plate and formed of a non-conductive material comprising a second polymer. The molded flow field plate and frame preferably define a unipolar flow field structure. Manifolds are formed in the molded frame, and a molded gasket arrangement is disposed proximate a periphery of the manifolds. A molded coupling arrangement may be formed to extend from the frame and configured to couple the flow field structure with other unipolar flow field structures to define a continuous web of the unipolar flow field structures.

    Abstract: A registration arrangement for a fuel cell stack assembly incorporates registration posts ( 212 ) and registration apertures or recesses ( 210 ). Fuel cell assemblies of the stack may include first ( 202 ) and second ( 206 ) flow field plates and a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) ( 204 ) having an active area. Registration apertures are defined in each of the MEA and the first and second flow field plates. The respective registration apertures are situated within non-active areas of the MEA when the first and second flow field plates and the MEA are in axial alignment. Registration posts are configured for reception within the registration apertures. Each of the registration posts has an outer surface differing in shape from a shape of the inner surface of the registration apertures. The inner surface of the registration apertures contact the outer surface of the registration posts at a plurality of discrete press-fit locations.

    Abstract: An ultrasonic-assisted injection molding system and method for making precisely- shaped articles. A source of ultrasonic energy is positioned to apply vibrational energy to a mold cavity connected to at least one gate in flow communication with a source of molten (co)polymer. The mold is heated to a temperature of 104-116°C, and the molten (co)polymer is injected into the mold cavity. After cooling the mold until the molten (co)polymer within the gate has solidified, ultrasonic energy is applied to the mold without remelting the solidified (co)polymer within the gate until the temperature increases to 116-122°C, thereby substantially relieving flow induced stresses. The mold is then cooled until the temperature decreases to 101-107°C, and is thereafter heated until the temperature increases to 116-122°C, thereby substantially relieving any thermally induced stresses. The mold is cooled until the molten (co)polymer has solidified, thereby forming a precision molded plastic optical element.

    Abstract: An article bearing a flow field such as a distribution plate for use in a fuel cell is provided. The active portion of the article, i.e., the portion of the article bearing the flow field, comprises at least two subsections; a first central subsection and a second peripheral subsection; wherein channels within the first subsection have a cross-sectional profile that differs from that of channels within the second subsection. Typically, channels of the first subsection have lesser depth, greater draft or greater ratio of draft to depth. In addition, an article bearing a flow field is provided where the flow field comprises at least two channel segments which differ in draft. In addition, an article bearing a flow field is provided where the flow field comprises at least one channel segment comprising first and second channel walls which differ in draft.
