Patent CA-2385492-A1 (CA)
Title: Raid controller system and method with ata emulation host interface
Inventor: STOLOWITZ MICHAEL C
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2000-09-21
Abstract: A RAID storage device controller (70) provides a host interface (56) for interfacing the controller to a host system bus. The host interface is isolated from the attached storage devices, for example IDE disk drives, so that the actual attached drives are not limited in number or interface protocol. Various device ports can be implemented, and various RAID strategies, e.g. level 3 and level 5, can be used. In all the cases, the host interface provides a standard, uniform interface to the host, namely an ATA interface (82, 84 and 86), and preferably a dual channel ATA interface. The host interface emulates the ATA single or dual channel interface and emulates one or two attached IDE devices per channel, regardless of the actual number of devices physically connected to the controller. Thus, for example, five or seven IDE drives can be deployed in RAID level 5 protocol without changing the standard BIOS in a PCI host machine. Thus the RAID controller is transparent relative to a standard dual channel ATA controller board.

Title: Fuel cell system for operation at pressures below the pressure of the surrounding environment and method of operation thereof
Inventor: VOSS HENRY
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2002-11-27
Abstract: In the present fuel cell systems, fuel cell stacks operate on a fuel stream having a pressure that is below the pressure of the surrounding environment, for example below atmospheric pressure. In the event of a leak, the fuel stream will not escape to the surrounding atmosphere, but rather gases from the surrounding environment will leak into the fuel stream. The fuel stream generally cannot exit the fuel cell stack during normal operation. The fuel cell stack may be periodically purged by increasing the pressure of the fuel stream above the pressure of the surrounding environment and by permitting exit through the fuel stream outlet. A monitoring device can be employed to determine when to purge the fuel cell stack.
