Title: Automatic testable breather valve
Inventor: PETER GILMORE
IPC: H05K5/02
Filed: 2019-06-24
Abstract: A breather valve, for location in a portable communication device housing 110 between the interior 310 and exterior 300, has an air permeable breather membrane that has multiple positions within the valve : a first position where the breather is sealed against an aperture, and at least a second position (See figs 3, 7) where the breather is not sealed and air can bypass by the breather. An optional third position seals the breather over an apterture in a top wall (see figs 4, 8). The three positions for allow different seal and flow tests on the device housing and breather. The valve comprises a housing having at least a bottom 290 with opening 320 and sides 210. A movable rigid breather substrate is located within the housing, and carries a breathable membrane which covers an aperture in substrate. The valve has a gasket, preferably joined to the edge of the substrate, having a top surface and a bottom surface with respective 370, 380 gasket energy directors (eg contact portions or seal portions) preferably facing above and below the substrate. A preloaded compression element, such spring 250,is across the gasket and the rigid substrate, preferably acting to bias the substrate towards the housing bottom, so 380 contacts the bottom sealing the breather membrane and device housing. If an external probe pushes up the substrate and gasket, air can pass around both energy directors of the gasket to give the second position, where neither energy director contacts the valve housing. In the third preferable position, when fully pushed back, the upper directors contact and seal to a preferable top wall 280 of the valve housing, so that the breather is sealed to the top wall, over a aperture 300 in that wall.

Title: Improved fuel cell systems and methods
Inventor: Simone Bertoni
IPC: H01M8/0612
Filed: 2019-12-03
Abstract: A fuel cell system comprising a fuel cell stack (30) with an intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell (IT-SOFC). It defines anode inlet gas fluid flow path from a fuel source (90) to reformer (70) to stack anode inlet (41); a cathode inlet gas fluid flow path from an oxidant inlet (140, 140', 140") through cathode inlet gas heat exchanger (110, 150) to a reformer heat exchanger (160) to stack cathode inlet (61). The cathode inlet gas heat exchangers (110, 150) are arranged to heat relatively low temperature cathode inlet gas by transfer of heat from an anode or cathode off-gas fluid flow path. The heat exchanger heats anode inlet gas from cathode inlet gas to a temperature T3 at the anode inlet, that is below a temperature T1 at the cathode inlet. An oxidant flow control (200) controls mixing of low temperature oxidant with high temperature cathode gas to control a temperature T1 at the cathode inlet (61) at a level higher than T3 at the anode inlet (41), possibly using a hot bypass 401. The flow control (200) may control mixing of oxidant from inlet (140’) as input to heat exchanger (160) to reduce both T1 and T3.
