Title: Operation of a fuel cell system
Inventor: NAVEED AKHTAR
IPC: H01M8/083
Filed: 2015-08-24
Abstract: A fuel cell system 10 includes a liquid electrolyte fuel cell stack 20 comprising at least one fuel cell (80, fig 2) consisting of a liquid electrolyte chamber (82, fig 2) between an anode (83, fig 2) and a cathode (84, fig 2), and gas chambers (85, 86; fig 2) adjacent to the electrodes, the electrodes separating the liquid electrolyte chamber from the gas chambers. In normal operation a fuel gas 22 is supplied to the anodic gas chamber (85, fig 2) and an oxidising gas 30 is supplied through a humidification chamber 52 to the cathodic gas chamber (86, fig 2). There is also a heater 49, 63 to raise the temperature of the fuel cell stack 20, which during normal operation would be off. However, if the supply of fuel gas or oxidising gas ceases, the method of operation comprises the steps of: (a) supplying a flow of inert gas 70 through the anodic gas chamber (85, fig 2); (b) continuing a flow of gas through the humidification chamber 52 to the cathodic gas chamber (86, fig 2), by supplying the inert gas if the supply of oxidising gas has ceased; and (c) energising the heater 49, 63 to maintain the temperature of the fuel cell stack 20. Two methods of heating the fuel cell stack 20 are provided. In a first method, the heater comprises an electrical heater 63 associated with the fuel cell stack 20, while in a second method, electrolyte 12 passing through the fuel cell stack 20 can be heated by a heat exchanger 49. The process may be automated using control means 77. This method allows the fuel cell temperature to be maintained during periods of inactivity, which allows a faster restarting of the fuel cell.
Patent GB-2542823-A (GB)
Title: Data communications
Inventor: STEPHEN JOHNSON
IPC: H04M3/50
Filed: 2015-09-30
Abstract: The invention provides a mechanism for a customer contact centre 124 to call-back a Web Real Time Communications (WebRTC) terminal 112 using temporary credentials. A Transient Call Manager (TCM) 220 provides a web browser of the terminal with a temporary set of unique credentials (e.g. user ID and password) that allows the web browser to authenticate with a WebRTC gateway 110 and initiate and receive WebRTC calls. When a call-back connection request comprising the credentials is received at the WebRTC gateway over a non-WebRTC channel 116 (e.g. SIP, VoIP or PSTN voice channel), the credentials are identified and a WebRTC signalling channel is used to set up a WebRTC media channel 114 from the gateway to the terminal. When the allocated credentials are no longer needed e.g. when either the customers browser ends the call-back, the user navigates away from the web page, or a loss of heartbeat is detected with the browser, the credentials are released.
