20100209817 | FUEL CELL SYSTEM AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A fuel cell system with which excessive supply or supply shortage of a vaporized fuel is able to be avoided and stable power generation with high output is able to be made, and an electronic device using the same. In a vaporization chamber, a projection is provided as a heat conduction section to conduct heat generated in a power generation section to a liquid fuel supplied to the vaporization chamber. Between the end of the projection and an inner wall face of an inner member, a gap is provided. In the gap, the heat is effectively conducted to the liquid fuel supplied from the end of a fuel supply route, and the liquid fuel is vaporized. It is possible that the projection is contacted with a section in the vicinity of the end section of the fuel supply route in the inner wall face of the inner member, and thereby heat of the power generation section is conducted to the inner member through the projection, heat is conducted to the liquid fuel through the inner member, and the liquid fuel is vaporized. Thereby, it is possible to limit a target region to be heated according to the position of the projection, or to control the amount of heat conducted to the liquid fuel according to the size of the projection. | 08-19-2010 |

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 |
20110020734 | LIQUID TANK, FUEL CELL AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - A fuel tank preventing an excessive supply when manually supplying a liquid such as a fuel, a fuel cell and an electronic apparatus using the fuel tank are provided. A fuel tank includes a deformable section which is deformable by external pressure in a part of a housing containing a liquid fuel. The deformable section has a projected shape outward from a top surface of the housing, and has a configuration in which a flat surface is arranged with a bending part in the top surface of the housing. The flat surface of the deformable section is pushed by a finger, a stick or the like to apply external pressure to the deformable section, thereby the deformable section is deformed so as to be flipped with respect to the top surface of the housing. The volumetric capacity in the housing is changed to push the liquid fuel out. | 01-27-2011 |

20110136029 | FUEL CELL AND TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT METHOD - A fuel cell and a temperature measurement method capable of directly measuring average temperature of a power generation unit and preventing dropout of a temperature detecting device are provided. A cathode plate for fixing the position of a power generation unit is set to be in contact with the power generation unit in a heat-transfer fashion and is made of an electric conductor or a semiconductor. When the temperature changes accompanying power generating operation of the power generation unit, the temperature of the cathode plate which is in contact with the power generation unit in a heat-transfer fashion changes. According to the temperature change, the resistance value changes. The resistance value is detected by using a resistance voltage dividing circuit having the cathode plate and resistors. By obtaining the temperature coefficient of the cathode plate in advance, the average temperature of the entire power generation unit is measured from the resistance value of the cathode plate. | 06-09-2011 |
