A method of starting a solid oxide fuel cell system is disclosed. The method comprises pressurizing a main plenum to a first pressure. The main plenum comprises a first supply of fuel, blowers, and air control valves. The first supply of fuel and a first supply of air are directed to a preheated mic

A method of starting a solid oxide fuel cell system is disclosed. The method comprises pressurizing a main plenum to a first pressure. The main plenum comprises a first supply of fuel, blowers, and air control valves. The first supply of fuel and a first supply of air are directed to a preheated micro-reformer. A heated pre-reformate is created in the micro-reformer and discharged from the micro-reformer to a main reformer. The main reformer is preheated with the heated pre-reformate. A second supply of fuel and a second supply of air are introduced to the main reformer. A heated main reformate is created in the main reformer and directed to a waste energy recovery assembly. A cathode supply is heated in the waste energy recovery system and then directed to a solid oxide fuel cell stack in order to heat the solid oxide fuel cell stack. Methods of transitioning, operating, shutting down, and maintaining in standby mode are also disclosed. A solid oxide fuel cell mechanization for a transportation vehicle is also disclosed.

A glazing panel in accordance with claim 1, in which the base antireflective layer comprises a layer adjacent to the substrate comprising a nitride of aluminium or a nitride of silicon or a mixture thereof and an overlying layer comprising the mixed oxide layer. 12. A glazing panel in accordance with claim 1, in which the top antireflective layer comprises the mixed oxide and an overlying layer comprising a nitride of aluminium or a nitride of silicon or a mixture thereof. 13. A glazing panel in accordance with claim 1, in which the glazing panel is a heat treatable or substantially haze free heat treated glazing panel and in which heat treatment of the heat treatable glazing panel to form the substantially haze free heat treated glazing panel provokes an increase of the value of TL of the glazing panel of at least 2.5%. 14. A method of manufacturing a glazing panel having a haze of less than about 0.5 comprising the step of subjecting a glazing panel in accordance with claim 1 to a heat treatment process at at least 570° C.
