20100151341FUEL CELL SYSTEM - Provided is a fuel cell system capable of accurately estimating I-V characteristics of a fuel cell. An impedance measurement section measures an impedance of the fuel cell and obtains a voltage drop caused by a direct-current resistance. An air stoichiometry judgment section detects the amount of oxidant gas supplied to the fuel cell and thereby judges whether or not the air stoichiometry ratio is 1 or higher at this time point. An estimated I-V characteristics line creation section determines that the remaining voltage component consists entirely of an activation voltage when the air stoichiometry ratio notified by the air stoichiometry judgment section is 1 or higher, while determining that the remaining voltage drop component includes the combination of the activation overvoltage and voltage drop corresponding to the change in the electromotive voltage when the notified air stoichiometry ratio is below 1.06-17-2010

Thus, by setting the frequency of the impedance measuring signal to the non-resonant frequency, the resonance with the motor is suppressed, which can improve impedance measurement accuracy.10-21-2010
20100279192FUEL CELL SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD OF THE SYSTEM - Disclosed is a fuel cell system capable of stabilizing the power generation state of a fuel cell for a period of transition from a power generation stop state during an intermittent operation or the like to a usual operation. The fuel cell system supplies a fuel gas from a fuel supply source to a fuel cell to generate a power, and comprises output limit means for limiting the output of the fuel cell after shift from the power generation stop state of the fuel cell to a power generation state. The output limit means subtracts the flow rate of the fuel gas used to recover the pressure of the fuel gas in the power generation stop state to the pressure of the fuel gas in the power generation state from the total flow rate of the fuel gas supplied from the fuel supply source after the shift from the power generation stop state to the power generation state, to calculate the flow rate of the fuel gas actually supplied to the fuel cell after the shift from the power generation stop state to the power generation state, thereby limiting the output of the fuel cell by use of an output current value corresponding to the calculated flow rate as an upper limit.11-04-2010

A resistor earthed is serially connected with each switching element. The resistance of the first resistor receiving the first current from the first switching element is lower than that of the second resistor receiving the second current from the second switching element. A maximum value of the first current is higher than that of the second current due to the difference between the resistors. The control unit controls the switching operations of the elements to boost the voltage of the battery and stops the switching operations in response to the first current exceeding an upper value.07-30-2009

20090233322COLORIMETRIC METHOD AND REAGENT USED FOR THE SAME - The present invention provides a colorimetric method that can perform a simple and reliable analysis in a short time. The method includes transferring an electron from an analyte to a coloring reagent that produces color by reduction via a mediator by using an oxidoreductase; and performing qualitative or quantitative analysis of the analyte by measuring color produced in the coloring reagent. The enzyme reaction of this method is a single stage reaction, and the color production reaction occurs via the mediator. Therefore, the measurement can be performed in a short time. Since this reaction requires neither hydrogen peroxide nor oxygen, the measured values are highly reliable.09-17-2009
