Abstract From the Canadian patent

The fuel cell battery has cells connected in series and is comprised an axially symmetrical stack of gas and air feed members and electrochemically active plates arranged alternately. Each feed member has an air heat exchanger in which the supplied air is heated. Gas and air may be made to flow in parallel on both ides of the electrochemically active plates. For each feed member only one sealing ring is required to separate the air and gas spaces. The fuel cell battery has the advantage that induced stresses due to thermal expansion are small.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed January 8, 1991 and granted March 19, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 8, 2011.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 8, 2013.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
