Abstract:
Verifying authenticity of a hydrogen fuel canister by utilizing at least one unique identifier element (UIE) associated with a fuel canister; inputting the UIE into a communication device; querying a database with said communication device to determine a value for the UIE; placing a hole matrix on a canister into a matrix interface reader; measuring a value associated with the position of one or more movable fixtures in the matrix interface reader; comparing the value obtain via the matrix interface reader with the value associated with the UIE and, using the comparison to authenticate or not authenticate if the hydrogen in said canister may be used, is disclosed.
Abstract:
A dewar vessel storage apparatus configured to hold at least two dewar vessels containing liquefied gas or cryo-compressed gas, comprising; a box having an outer, thermally insulating, wall; the box comprising a plurality of insulating cavities, each cavity configured to receive a single dewar vessel and is thermally insulated from each other cavity; a thermally insulating closure arrangement configured to close an open end of each cavity; a ventilation assembly comprising at least one conduit within the box configured to provide for venting of gas released from the dewar vessels when stored in the respective cavities of the box, the ventilation assembly configured to provide a gas outlet flow path from each cavity.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method of producing hydrogen, including selectively applying heat to a fuel within a canister thermally insulated and inside a cartridge, firing fuel to facilitate decomposition and release hydrogen, and, removing said hydrogen from said cartridge via a fluid communication means.
Abstract:
A hydrogen cartridge with a dispensing end, said cartridge having unique identification associated therewith is disclosed, said cartridge providing a supply of hydrogen and being removably fitted to a host device. Prior to use in said host device, the unique identifier is input into a communications device which, through a network, contacts a secure database with records of authentic unique identifiers. Said secure database may require verification of a user and/or a communication device prior to granting access. The host device also has a communications link whereby one of the database and the communications device may provide authorization to a host device, including but not limited to a controller, to utilize the hydrogen in the canister associated with a specific unique identifier.

Abstract:
The within disclosure provides devices, methods and systems for use in authenticating hydrogen fuel tanks or cartridges utilizing unique identifier elements, physical conformations and combinations of same. A user may place a hydrogen cartridge with a hollow body and a shaped body and/or dispensing end in a carriage having a fluid communication means and said fluid communication means matching said shaped body and/or dispensing end, whereby a tank mating to the carriage is limited to matching shaped cartridge and carriage.
