| 20080299424 | CARBON MONOXIDE CLEAN-UP IN A PEM FUEL CELL SYSTEM - A fuel processor system contains an autothermal reactor (ATR) that produces a hydrogen-rich first gas stream containing carbon monoxide. Downstream of the ATR, a pressure swing adsorber produces a second hydrogen-rich gas stream containing 5 ppm carbon monoxide or more. Downstream of the PSA, there is a methanation reactor sized to reduce the CO level of the second stream below 5 ppm. A method of operating of proton exchange membrane fuel cell stack involves cooling the methanator output and feeding it into the stack as an anode fuel. | 12-04-2008 |

| 20110035452 | System and Method for Automatic Social Messaging - A system and method for automatic social messaging is provided. The social networking device includes an automatic social messaging module and one or more applications configured to coordinate with the automatic social messaging module. In a social network device, the automatic messaging module receives, from an application, an indication that a predefined trigger event has occurred. The automatic messaging module then accesses a set of event parameters for the predefined trigger event. The set of parameters includes a set of recipients for a notification message associated with the trigger event. The parameters may also include update information, message details, a filter criteria for the trigger event. The automatic messaging module then transmits the notification message associated with the predefined trigger event to the set of recipients according to the trigger event parameters. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20120032945 | PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICE AND METHOD OF OPERATION OF SAME - A managed services platform and method of operation of same are described herein.
