Abstract: The present invention relates to a gas generating apparatus comprising a housing, a metal hydride and a liquid reactant comprising water. Predetermined amounts of metal hydride and liquid reactant are contained in fuel capsules and are separated by a membrane. The membranes can be ruptured by a moving element so that the metal hydride and the liquid reactant can react to produce hydrogen gas.

IPC: H01M8/06
Abstract: The present application is directed to gas generators comprising a fuel mixture and a catalyst. The catalyst is contained in a self-regulated reactor or buoy, and selectively opens and closes to produce a gas in accordance with the demand for gas. This fuel mixture is generally a solution formed by dissolving a solid fuel component in a liquid fuel component. The mixing preferably occurs before the first use, and more preferably occurs immediately prior to the first use. The inventive gas generators preferably further comprises a starting mechanism that isolates the solid fuel from the liquid fuel or vice versa before the first use. In one embodiment, the starting mechanism further comprises a catalyst shield mechanism that isolates the catalyst in the reactor or buoy from the liquid and/or the solid fuel prior to the first use.

Abstract: FUEL CELL WITH FUEL MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE 5 A FUEL CELL (9) INCLUDES A REMOVABLE AND REPLACEABLE FUEL SUPPLY (12) HAVING FUEL DISPOSED THEREIN. A SYSTEM FOR MONITORING VARIOUS PARAMETERS OF THE FUEL SUCH AS TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE, AND THE LEVELS OF DISSOLVED OXYGEN IS PROVIDED. A PLURALITY OF SENSORS (30) IS DISPOSED ON THE FUEL SUPPLY SIDE THAT IS CAPABLE OF COMMUNICATING WITH A CONTROLLER (18) AND MEMORY (13) ON THE FUEL CELL SIDE. IN ANOTHER EMBODIMENT, AT LEAST I 0 ONE SENSOR FOR MEASURING A SYSTEM PARAMETER OF THE FUEL COMMUNICATES WITH AN RFID TAG (50) EITHER REMOTELY OR VIA A HARDWIRED LINK. THE SENSOR AND/OR THE RFID TAG MAY BE COATED WITH A SUBSTANCE IMPERVIOUS TO THE CAUSTIC FUEL. AN RIFID READER STATION COLLECTS THE DATA. THE CONTROLLER MAY BE INCLUDED TO USE THE DATA IN REAL TIME TO ALTER SYSTEM PARAMETERS, SUCH AS FUEL PUMPING RATES OR A BLEED OFF, OR TO TRIGGER A SIGNAL, SUCH AS TO NOTIFY A USER OF AN EMPTY FUEL SUPPLY. IN ANOTHER EMBODIMENT, AN OPTICAL SENSOR (61. 102) MAY BE USED.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a hydrogen gas-generating apparatus (10) comprising (1) a reservoir (100) comprising an aqueous component (110), (2) a fuel compartment (200) comprising a solid metal borohydride fuel component (210), and (3) a reaction chamber (300) comprising an aerogel catalyst (310). A first fluid path introduces the aqueous component into the fuel compartment where the solid metal borohydride fuel component is dissolved into a liquid metal borohydride fuel component (210'). A second fluid path introduces the liquid metal borohydride fuel component into the reaction chamber to produce a hydrogen gas by means of a hydride- water oxidation reaction that is accelerated by the aerogel catalyst. The temperature and/or pressure of the reaction chamber are predetermined to maintain the water in the borate byproduct to be substantially in the liquid phase to minimize the precipitation of the borate byproduct.

Abstract: Una celda de combustible (9) incluye un suministrador de combustible (12) removible y reemplazable que tiene combustible dispuesto en el mismo. Se provee un sistema para monitorear diversos parametros del combustible tales como temperatura, presion, y los niveles de oxigeno disuelto. Una pluralidad de sensores (30) esta dispuesta sobre el costado del suministrador de combustible que es capaz de comunicarse con un controlador (18) y memoria (13) sobre el costado de la celda de combustible. En otra realizacion, al menos un sensor para medir un parametro del combustible del sistema se comunica con una etiqueta RFID (50) ya sea remotamente o via un enlace de conexion fisica. El sensor y/o la etiqueta RFID puede estar recubierta con una sustancia impermeable al combustible caustico. Una estacion de lectura de etiquetas RFID recolecta los datos. El controlador puede estar incluido para utilizar los datos en tiempo real para alterar los parametros del sistema, tales como tasas de bombeo de combustible o un sangrado, o para disparar una senal, tal como para notificar a un usuario acerca de un suministrador de combustible vacio. En otra realizacion, se puede utilizar un sensor optico (61, 102).

Abstract: A fuel cell includes a removable and replaceable fuel supply having fuel disposed therein. A system for monitoring various parameters of the fuel such as temperature, pressure, and the levels of dissolved oxygen is provided. A plurality of sensors is disposed on the fuel supply side that is capable of communicating with a controller and memory on the fuel cell side. In another embodiment, at least one sensor for measuring a system parameter of the fuel communicates with an RFID tag either remotely or via a hardwired link. The sensor and/or the RFID tag may be coated with a substance impervious to the caustic fuel. An RFID reader station collects the data. The controller may be included to use the data in real time to alter system parameters, such as fuel pumping rates or a bleed off, or to trigger a signal, such as to notify a user of an empty fuel supply.
