Abstract: A managing method of the start-up phase of at least one micro fuel cell (11) to be connected to a load (12) is described as comprising the steps of:
- measuring a micro fuel cell voltage value (V FC ) across the micro fuel cell (11) activated by means of a fuel injection;
- comparing the micro fuel cell voltage value (V FC ) with a first predetermined threshold voltage value (V TH ); and
- establishing an operation mode of the micro fuel cell (11) according to the following conditions:
- as long as the micro fuel cell voltage value (V FC ) is lower than the first threshold voltage value (V TH ), the micro fuel cell (11) operates in a first open circuit state (S1), during which it is not connected to the load (12);
- when the micro fuel cell voltage value (V FC ) overcomes the first threshold voltage value (V TH ), the micro fuel cell (11) passes to a second pre-ignition state (S2), during which it supplies a current value (I FC ) corresponding to the first threshold voltage value (V TH ), according to a static voltage-current or V-I characteristic of the micro fuel cell (11).
A managing circuit (10) of the start-up phase of at least one micro fuel cell (11) to be connected to a load (12) is also described.

Abstract: A circuit implementing a non-integer order dynamic system includes a neural network (1 to 5) adapted to receive at least one input signal (IS) and to generate therefrom at least one output signal (OS). The input and output signals (IS, OS) are related to each by a non-integer order integro-differential relationship through the coefficients of the neural network (1 to 5). A plurality (I, II) of such circuits, implementing respective non-integer order (PI λ D µ ) controllers can be interconnected in an arrangement wherein any of the integral (200) or differential (202) blocks included in one of those circuits generates a signal which is fed to any of the integral (200) or differential (204) blocks of another circuit in the system.
