Multi-functional fuel cable

The present invention relates to a connector or cable between the fuel supply and the fuel cell that can also communicate control signals between the fuel cell and the cartridge to instruct the fuel cartridge or the fuel cell or both to commence or cease the operation of one or more functions in addition to transporting fuel and electrical power. Control signals can be electrical, fluidic/hydraulic and/or mechanical. The connector or cable may also transport electricity produced by the fuel cell to power an electronic device, and/or to the fuel cartridge to power a component(s) on the cartridge or to re-charge a battery. The connector or cable may have universal connectors that can attach to multiple fuel cells, fuel cartridges and electronic devices, even when manufactured by different manufacturers. 本发明涉及种位于燃料供给源与燃料电池之间的连接器或电缆，除了传送燃料和电力之外，该连接器或电缆还能够在燃料电池与盒之间传送控制信号以指示所述燃料盒或燃料电池或两者开始或停止个或多个功能的操作。控制信号可以是电的、流体的/液压的和/或机械的。连接器或电缆还可以传送燃料电池产生的电以为电子设备供电，和/或传送到燃料盒以为盒上的组件供电或者对电池再充电。连接器或电缆可以具有通用连接器，即使当是通过不同制造商制造时，该通用连接
