| 20100196796 | ROLL-GOOD FUEL CELL FABRICATION PROCESSES, EQUIPMENT, AND ARTICLES PRODUCED FROM SAME - Fabricating roll-good fuel cell material involves laminating first and second bonding material webs having spaced apart windows to first and second surfaces of a fuel cell membrane web. First and second active regions of the membrane web are positioned within the respective bonding material windows. Third and fourth gasket material webs having spaced apart windows are respectively laminated to the bonding material on the first and second membrane web surfaces. The bonding material windows align with the respective gasket material windows so that at least some of the bonding material extends within the respective gasket material windows. Fluid transport layer (FTL) material portions cut from fifth and sixth FTL material webs are laminated to the respective first and second active regions. The FTL material portions are positioned within respective gasket material windows and contact the bonding material extending within the respective gasket material windows. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100279205 | FUEL CARTRIDGE, FUEL CELL, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A fuel cartridge with which damage or break of a valve due to miss-loading or the like is able to be avoided and safety is able to be improved, a fuel cell, and an electronic device are provided. A fitting groove for fitting to a fuel cell body is provided in a package of a fuel cartridge. Improper force applied to a valve due to inappropriate loading or the like is avoided, and possibility that the valve is damaged or broken is decreased. The valve is provided not projecting from the package. Compared to an existing structure that a valve is projecting outside of the package, the effective volume of a fuel storage space is increased even if the height of the entire cartridge is the same as that of the existing case. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20100310967 | BATTERY DEVICE AND METHOD OF PACKAGING, DISASSEMBLING, AND RECYCLING THEREOF - The invention provides a battery device and a method for packaging, disassembling, and recycling the battery device, wherein the anode conductive element is disposed in a reaction trough frame with a bump thereof protruding from the frame; two sets of the cathode conductive elements cover on a first opening and a second opening of the reaction trough frame, respectively, so as to form a reaction region for accommodating electrolyte therein; and a metallic fastener is disposed on surfaces of the cathode conductive elements and the reaction trough frame and fastened with a buckling member.

| 20110143261 | SHAPED PART - A shaped part that is particularly suited as an interconnector or an end plate for a fuel cell stack, is produced by pressing and sintering a pulverulent starting material. The shaped part has a disc-shaped or plate-shaped basic body with a multiplicity of knob-like and/or ridge-like elevations with a height h. In cross section, each elevation has two inclined side flanks which lead, proceeding from an end contour of the elevation, via rounded corner portions, with a radius r or r′ directly or via intermediate rectilinear portions, into curved portions, with a radius R or R′, which in turn merge into the surface contour, of the basic body. The rectilinear portions, or, in the case of a direct transition of the rounded corner portions, into the curved portions, the tangents at the point of the transition, have an angle of inclination α or α′ with respect to the surface contour, in the range of 95° to 135°. The radius R or R′ is in the range of 0.15 to 1 mm and the height h is dimensioned such that the ratio R:h or R′:h is in a range of 0.25 to 1. | 06-16-2011 |
