Title: Innovations by Hideaki Kume
Introduction
Hideaki Kume is a notable inventor based in Susono, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of fuel cell technology, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on improving the efficiency and functionality of fuel cell systems.
Latest Patents
Kume's latest patents include an "Apparatus for estimating fuel-cell hydrogen concentration" and a "Fuel cell system." The fuel cell system comprises a fuel cell, an impedance measuring instrument, and a control device. The control device is connected to the impedance measuring instrument, which measures the impedance of the fuel cell using the AC impedance method. The control device stores a reference value corresponding to a reference hydrogen concentration and compares the real part Z' of impedance against this reference value. When Z' is equal to or greater than the reference value, the control device estimates the hydrogen concentration of the fuel cell to be equal to or less than the reference hydrogen concentration. Another patent, the "Fuel cell stack," involves a collector plate connected to an output terminal. This collector plate is designed such that the heat capacity per unit area of a neighboring region is different from that of other regions, enhancing the overall performance of the fuel cell.
