20110017301 | FACADE RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEM - A rainwater harvesting system which utilises facade cladding instead of roof collection. The system uses the structural ‘transoms’ or horizontal glazing members to direct rainwater falling on the glazing panels into the vertical mullions, and from there downwards into a basement collection system as with more conventional rainwater harvesting. Embodiments are described including a slotted enclosed system, with lift out panels for cleaning, and an open system with easier cleaning access. Both embodiments allow rainwater to be collected before ground contamination occurs, making its filtration and reuse within the building easier. It also means that urban buildings can now seriously benefit from rainwater harvesting and reduce their water consumption in a way that only buildings with larger roof areas were able to before. | 01-27-2011 |

20080271814 | Honeycomb Flame Arrester and Flow Straightener for a Fuel System Fuel Fill Pipe - A motor vehicle filler pipe flame arrester and fuel flow straightener configured to effectively quench a moving flame front, while providing laminar fuel flow therethrough. A multi-channel (or multi-cell) configuration, most preferably a honeycomb configuration, provides effective flame arresting due to its heat sink capacity and large effective surface area for flame arrestment, while attendantly limiting availability of fuel and oxygen to the flame, thereby providing quenching of a flame wave as it propagates through the channels. Service station pump nozzle shut-off sensor disruption is avoided because the channels encourage laminar flow of the fuel through the multi-channel filler pipe flame arrester and fuel flow straightener. | 11-06-2008 |

20130115540 | FUEL CELL OPERATION WITH A FAILED OPEN INJECTOR - A system and method for controlling hydrogen gas flow to an anode side of a fuel cell stack using a pressure regulator in the event that an injector that normally injects the hydrogen gas into the fuel cell stack has failed in a stuck open position. During normal operation, the control of the injector is determined based on the pressure of an anode sub-system and the position of the pressure regulator is determined based on a supply pressure between the pressure regulator and the injector. If it is determined that the injector is stuck in an open position, then the position of the pressure regulator is controlled to the anode pressure instead of the supply pressure. If the pressure regulator is an electrical pressure regulator, then it is pulsed to mimic normal system operation. Alternately, another valve, such as a shut-off valve, can be employed to provide the flow pulsing. | 05-09-2013 |
20140186726 | METHOD TO DIAGNOSE FUEL CELL HUMIDIFICATION PROBLEMS - A system and method for determining if an RH sensor that measures the relative humidity of cathode inlet air provided to a fuel cell stack or an HFR circuit that measures stack water content is operating properly. The method provides the cathode inlet air through a WVT unit that increases the water content of the cathode inlet air. The method uses a water buffer model for determining the water content of the fuel cell stack based on inputs from a plurality of system components and revises a water transfer model using the HFR humidification signal or the RH signal to correct for WVT unit degradation. The method determines whether the RH sensor or the HFR circuit is operating properly, such as by determining if the HFR humidification signal is increasing at a rate that is faster than what the stack water content is able to increase. | 07-03-2014 |
