Abstract: A wind power generation apparatus mainly disposes a support axle inside a tower rack of a wind power generator, and an upper vertical axle blade and a lower vertical axle blade arranged upwardly and downwardly are at least pivotally jointed on the support axle disposed inside the tower rack. A windward opening is disposed at the position where a circumference wall of the tower rack corresponds to the upper and lower vertical axle blades, and the lateral wind could enter into the tower rack through the windward opening to cause tornado effect to push the upper and lower vertical axle blades to rotate and output dynamic force to connect the power generator and generate electricity.

Abstract: A coat capable of assembling exoskeleton protection component comprises a coat and an exoskeleton protection component. The exoskeleton protection component is fastened on the coat through a fastening device. While in application, the coat worn on the body does not only have normal function but also has operation functions of auxiliary correction, rehabilitation or protection, and enhancing waist structure of human upper body by utilizing the exoskeleton protection component. The component can prevent harm from habits of loading, sitting and wrong working posture. At the same time, the exoskeleton protection component can be utilized as a wearing platform based upon different demands.

Abstract: A method for forming a metal layer having a predetermined thickness on an underlying material is disclosed. According to the method, the underlying material is electroplated to form the metal layer having a fraction of the predetermined thickness thereon. The step of electroplating is interrupted for a predetermined period of time. The step of electroplating is then resumed to form the metal layer having the predetermined thickness on the underlying material, thereby improving planarity of the metal layer.

Abstract: Heating pads using positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistance material are subject to fire risk if one of the conductor wires between which the PTC material extends should break and produce an electric arc. Protection by fuse and a fuse-blowing circuit responsive to fire detection must allow for an immense inrush of current when the cold pad is turned on. A heat setting control using a microprocessor can reduce the fuse rating by chopping the a.c. heating current for a short start-up period following with full-on feed until the heat setting is reached. The presence of a microprocessor allows response to a safety circuit that detects a break in a heater feed or return conductor before much excess heat develops, so that the microprocessor can turn off the heater switch. That response is so quick that it can be confirmed by repeated detection after very short pauses before the heater switch (a triac) is turned off.
