Abstract
A removable fluid fuel cartridge has an integrated content module. The cartridge/content module includes a cartridge housing, a fuel reservoir and a content module incorporated in the cartridge. The cartridge housing fluidly connectable to the fuel inlet of at least one electrochemical fuel cell providing electric power to a mobile electrical device. The fuel reservoir is disposed within the cartridge housing for containing a quantity of fuel capable of being directed in a fluid stream to at least one fuel cell for accommodating an electrochemical reaction capable of supplying electrical power to the device. The content module is incorporated in the cartridge, and is independently capable of producing a perceivable stimulus.

A removable fluid fuel cartridge having an integrated content module comprising:
- (a) a cartridge housing fluidly connectable to the fuel inlet of at least one electrochemical fuel cell providing electric power to a mobile electrical device;
- (b) a fuel reservoir disposed within said cartridge housing for containing a quantity of fuel capable of being directed in a fluid stream to at least one fuel cell for accommodating an electrochemical reaction capable of supplying electrical power to said device;
- (c) a content module incorporated in said cartridge, said content module independently capable of producing a perceivable stimulus.
A mobile electrical device to which electric power is supplied by at least one electrochemical fuel cell, said device comprising a fluid fuel cartridge comprising an integrated content module, said fuel cartridge comprising:
- (a) a cartridge housing fluidly connectable to the fuel inlet of said at least one electrochemical fuel cell;
- (b) a fuel reservoir disposed within said cartridge housing for containing a quantity of fluid fuel capable of undergoing an electrochemical reaction within said at least one fuel cell;
- (c) a content module incorporated in said cartridge, said content module independently capable of producing a perceivable stimulus.
