Abstract: The present invention relates to a flat fuel cell combining runner plates and a conducting layer. The flat fuel cell includes two runner plates and a conducting layer between the runner plates. There are conducting blocks embedded into the predefined locations on the assembly surfaces of two runner plates. A concave flow passage is shaped by the assembly surfaces of runner plates and the conducting blocks, thus providing a unique structure combining the runner plates and conducting layer. The conducting blocks are electrically connected through the contact of convex flanges on the conducting blocks. Thus, the flat fuel cells are developed thin, making it possible to greatly reduce manufacturing assembly costs without the need of electric wires and to achieve better economic efficiency and applicability.

Abstract: The present invention is a flexible fuel cell, which overcomes the shortcomings of a conventional fuel cell made of solid materials. The flexible fuel cell includes a battery pack of fuel cell units with a preset amount and configuration of fuel cell units, and a flexible locator. The flexible locator is made of flexible materials to ensure the ability to maintain gas-tight seals. Because of the ability to maintain good gas-tight seals and to have stronger resistance to heat and corrosion, the fuel cell of the present invention offers advantages of light weight, gas-tight sealing, and shock resistance.

Abstract: The present invention provides a portable power supply device with a fuel cell. The device includes a main body with predefined internal and exterior parts. A fuel cell stack is mounted onto a predefined location of the main body. A fuel supplier is mounted at a preset location of the main body. A control switch is mounted at a predefined location of main body for switching the fuel cell stack on and off. A transformer system is used to convert DC of the fuel cell stack into AC. At least one AC socket is mounted onto a preset location of the main body. The portable power supply device of the present invention offers a longer lasting power supply via a fuel cell stack. The portable power supply device is an environment-friendly and weather-proof power generating system for currently used electronics.

Abstract: An improved plating method in combination with a low-temperature thermal treatment is disclosed. The method for reducing the stress in the nickel-based alloy plating comprises the steps of: (a) adding ceramic particles into a plating bath containing soluble nickel salts; and (b) placing a substrate in the plating bath and thereafter carrying out a pulse-current electroplating in the plating bath. The method of this invention can prevent substrate softening or deformation problems. The use of a post low-temperature thermal treatment can slightly increase the hardness of the coating products. The use of the low-temperature thermal treatment can reduce the stress of the coatings since the hydrogen embrittlement resulting from exist of hydrogen in the coatings is eliminated.
