20130054707 | ONLINE MONITORING FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE - A system can monitor online services based on conditions that can be selected by an administrator. The system can identify and select messages from within the online services. The system can then transform the selected messages into a specific format and forward the transformed messages to an agent console application. The agent console application can be located, for example, at a call center. Within the agent console application, an agent can respond to the forwarded messages using a single unified interface that an agent uses to respond to a chat session request, or telephone call, for customer service. Thus, the specific communication details of the online services can be abstracted by the system, so that the agent can respond to the forwarded messages of different online services using the single unified interface. | 02-28-2013 |

20080226956 | COLD START COMPRESSOR CONTROL AND MECHANIZATION IN A FUEL CELL SYSTEM - A fuel cell system is disclosed, wherein the fuel cell system is heated by a fluid during a starting operation to mitigate against vapor condensation and ice formation in a fuel cell assembly and to decrease a warm up time of the fuel cell system. | 09-18-2008 |
20100068046 | VOLUTE OF LOWER END UNIT OF FUEL CELL SYSTEM - A lower end unit of a fuel cell system defines a volute of a pump. The volute may have a reinforcement that is disposed on a working area of the volute. | 03-18-2010 |
20100099002 | FLUID PUMP WITH AN INTEGRATED MOUNTING INTERFACE - A fluid pump assembly for a fuel cell system is disclosed, the fluid pump assembly including a mounting structure having a receiving element formed thereon and a fluid pump having at least one locking element formed thereon, wherein the mounting structure is a lower end unit of the fuel cell system, and wherein the receiving element captures the locking elements of the fluid pump to militate against lateral, axial, and rotational movement of the fluid pump. | 04-22-2010 |
20100151294 | CATHODE FILTER REPLACEMENT ALGORITHM IN A FUEL CELL SYSTEM - A fuel cell system that includes a compressor for providing cathode air to the cathode side of a fuel cell stack and an air filter for filtering the air sent to the compressor to prevent particulates and other contaminants from entering the compressor and the fuel cell stack. The fuel cell system also includes a mass flow meter that measures the flow of air to the compressor and a pressure sensor that measures the pressure of the airflow at the output of the compressor. An electronic compressor map is provided that defines the operating characteristics of the compressor. By knowing the flow through the compressor and the pressure at the outlet of the compressor, an algorithm can determine where on the compressor map the compressor is operating, and from that determine the inlet pressure to the compressor, which in turn shows whether the air filter is clogged or otherwise damaged. | 06-17-2010 |
20110244349 | METHOD TO DETECT NO COOLANT FLOW IN A FUEL CELL SYSTEM - A method for determining whether a fuel cell stack cooling fluid is flowing at cold fuel cell system start-up. The method monitors the temperature of the cooling fluid outside of the fuel cell stack, and determines whether the temperature of the cooling fluid is increasing properly as the temperature of the stack increases. | 10-06-2011 |
20120082914 | METHOD TO THAW FROZEN COOLANT IN A FUEL CELL SYSTEM - A method for increasing the temperature of a cooling fluid used to control the temperature of a fuel cell stack at a system freeze start-up. The method includes determining that the cooling fluid is frozen or nearly frozen, and if so, deactivating excessive power draw on the fuel cell stack to minimize stack waste heat and activating a cooling fluid heater to heat the cooling fluid. Once it is determined that the cooling fluid is not frozen or is flowing, then the method initiates a normal system start-up. | 04-05-2012 |

20130056631 | TECHNIQUES FOR AUTOMATED PARAMETER ADJUSTMENT USING ION SIGNAL INTENSITY FEEDBACK - Described are techniques for tuning parameters of a system. For one or more values of a distance, mass spectral analysis of a liquid analyte stream is performed. A corresponding ion signal intensity of a selected ion is obtained. The distance is measured from a first end of a first tube to a second end of a second tube which surrounds said first tube. Using a computing device, a current value of the distance is automatically adjusted in accordance with corresponding ion signal intensities obtained for the selected ion. Using a computing device, a desired value for the distance is automatically determined using the corresponding ion signal intensities. The desired value results in an ion signal intensity for the selected ion which is any of more than a threshold intensity and a maximum of ion signal intensities obtained by performing mass spectral analysis using different values for the distance. | 03-07-2013 |

20140208836 | ANALYSIS OF DRIED BLOOD SPOT SAMPLES IN A MICROFLUIDIC SYSTEM WITH DILUTION OF EXTRACTED SAMPLES - An apparatus for use in a chromatography system includes a microfluidic substrate having a fluidic channel configured as an analytical chromatographic column and a fluidic port on one side of the microfluidic substrate. The fluidic port opens at a head end of the analytical chromatographic column. A dried blood spot (DBS) collection device holds one or more dried biological samples. The DBS collection device is directly coupled to the microfluidic substrate whereby one of the biological samples is placed into fluidic communication with the fluidic channel of the microfluidic substrate and an extraction of that biological sample flows toward the head end of the analytical chromatographic column. A diluent source fluidically coupled to the fluidic port supplies a solvent to the head end of the analytical column to dilute the extracted biological sample before the biological sample flows into the analytical chromatographic column. | 07-31-2014 |
