  • Flexible power apparatus
    Patent number: 7808213
    Abstract: A flexible power supply apparatus includes a flexible textile capacitor, a power source, a charging part, and a control circuit. The power source is electrically coupled with the flexible textile capacitor. The charging part for charging an electric product or a secondary battery is electrically coupled with the power source. The charging part and the flexible textile capacitor are connected in parallel. The flexible textile capacitor discharges a current to the charging part when the flexible textile capacitor is charged to a predetermined charging level. The control circuit for controlling the charging and discharging of the flexible textile capacitor, and the charging part is electrically coupled with the flexible textile capacitor the power source, and the charging part.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 5, 2010
    Assignee: Taiwan Textile Research Institute
    Inventors: Hsaio-Kuan Tsai, Hung-Chang Chen, Wen-Ting Lin
  • Supercapacitor structure and method for manufacturing the same
    Patent number: 7768771
    Abstract: A laminate electrode of a bendable supercapacitor has a carbon fabric element and an electrically conductive current collector element secured by staple-shaped metallic fasteners or metallic wires so as to prevent two elements from being taken apart when the laminate electrode is bent.
