Abstract: A small fuel cell (10) powers a portable electronic device (12) and contains a fuel reservoir (14) and a device (16) that measures the amount of liquid fuel (18) that is in the reservoir. The fuel cell operates on hydrogen that is obtained from a liquid hydrocarbon fuel, such as alcohol or other hydrocarbons. The liquid fuel is typically converted into hydrogen by a reforming process. The reservoir that is connected to the fuel cell has an indicia (19) that is readable by a human user of the portable electronic device, for measuring the amount of liquid hydrocarbon fuel that is present in the reservoir. Typically, the indicia consist of a sight glass, a capacitive element, a resistive element, a transparent portion of the reservoir, a float, or an acoustic transmitter coupled with an acoustic receiver.

Abstract: A method (60) of pre-caching user interaction elements, includes monitoring motion patterns (40) with an electronic input device having a gesture recorder and a writing surface using a three-dimensional position of the recorder with respect to the writing surface, analyzing the monitored motion patterns (42) made while the recorder is off the writing surface to determine if the recorder is approaching a target area at the writing surface (44), the target area having an associated functionality, and triggering the functionality (50)before contact between the recorder and the target area. The steps are repeated continuously. The analyzing step (42) determines if the recorder is moving towards the writing surface, and, if so, a two-dimensional location of the recorder with respect to the plane of the writing surface is determined (46) and a trajectory is defined based upon the location and movement of the recorder off the writing surface. A control area disposed at an endpoint of the trajectory is identified (48) as the target area to be triggered. Alternatively, a plurality of trajectories between the recorder and a control area is defined based upon recorder location and movement off the writing surface and correlated with the actual trajectory. For the trajectory with the highest degree of correlation, a corresponding control area is defined as the target area to be triggered. Triggering of multiple control areas can be simultaneous or sequential. The method can be used with a variety of systems including an inductive stylus and tablet system and a radio frequency stylus and tablet system.

Abstract: An elastomeric keypad has a plurality of hard top keys with a substantially opaque portion (28) and a translucent or transparent graphic portion (26). The key cap also has a skirt (30) with an integral flange (32), the skirt extending down over the sides of the elastomeric key and the flange being secured under the face of a bezel (40). Light from a light source passes through the elastomeric keys and through the transparent graphic portion, but is blocked by the opaque portion and by the skirt. A sheet (50) containing a key cap (24) with graphics (26) is placed onto a first plate (52) of a molding tool (54). A second plate (58) is attached to the first plate, covering the graphic film. The first and second plates interact such that the key cap containing the graphic is excised from the film and retained in the molding tool assembly. The waste material (60) surrounding the key cap is displaced away from its original position. A third plate (64) is then attached to the assembled first and second plates. The assembled molding tool creates a cavity (66) that is representative of the keypad assembly, and an elastomeric material is molded into that cavity.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring the quantity of hydrogen in a hydrogen storage vessel (300) of a hydrogen fuel cell using the Pressure, Composition, Temperature (PCT) relationship (350) of the storage media is disclosed. The method of measuring the quantity of hydrogen (360) involves, measuring the temperature (310) of the hydrogen storage media at one or more points on the hydrogen storage vessel (300), measuring the mechanical strain (320) at one or more points on walls of the hydrogen storage vessel, computing the pressure (330) inside the vessel based on the strain measurements, referring to a look-up table (340) with PCT graph/operating curve data (350) or an equation using Van't Hoff parameters for representing the discharge PCT curve for the particular concentration at the measured pressure. The changes in temperature and pressure during hydrogen absorption-desorption which are characteristic of hydride composition is used to measure the concentration ratio of hydrogen to metal hydride as a concentration ratio of hydrogen to metal.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for temperature regulation of a fuel cell using differential heat capacity of the fuel storage media is disclosed. The method of regulating the temperature involves measuring the temperature of one or more fuel cells, comparing the temperature against target values, selecting a control method from a set of available control methods based on the result of comparison and using that control method to initiate and control a regulation cycle, and actuating a flow control means using the selected control method to alter the flow of fuel between one or more fuel storage containers, each containing fuel storage media which exhibit different enthalpies of formation and dissociation. The regulation process starts with measuring temperature (110) of a fuel cell system (100). The measured temperature is then compared (120) to a predetermined set of ideal target values designed to provide peak fuel cell performance. Following the comparison step, a control method (130) is selected from a list of available control methods. The control method has the necessary parameters and logic to define an fuel flow initiation process (140) which in turn actuates a flow control means (150). Actuation of the flow control means changes the temperature of the one or more fuel cells and alters its operating parameters (160).
