NOVELTY - The system (10) has a controller (18) operatively connected to an information storage device (23) e.g. RAM, a fuel regulator and a fuel cell that includes a membrane exchange member. The storage device contains information relating to the system, and the controller reads and writes to the storage device. The fuel supply is in fluid communication with the fuel regulator that is in fluid communication with the fuel cell such that fuel contained in the fuel supply is transportable to the fuel cell for converting to electricity. The fuel regulator is provided with a regulating valve.    USE - Fuel cell system for powering an electronic device (claimed). Uses include but are not limited to a mobile or cell phone, calculator, power tool, gardening tool, personal digital assistant, digital camera, laptop computer, computer games system, portable music system such as MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (MP3) player or compact disc (CD) player, global positioning system and a camping equipment.    ADVANTAGE - The system utilizes fuel cells to store information or memory relevant to the fuel contained in the supply, and communicates relevant information to the fuel cell and/or an electronic device such that the fuel cell powers the electronic device. The system utilizes the controller to regulate the flow rate through the regulator by setting the size of an opening in the regulating valve, and enables the controller to set the pump rate to regulate the flow rate, and controls the flow rate can with a porous material such as filler and foam. The system provides a security identification password in the controller to access the data stored on the information storage device.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic view of a fuel cell system including a fuel cartridge with an information storage device, a pump, and a membrane electrode assembly for powering an electronic device.
