A fuel cell includes a membrane electrode composite body in which a cathode catalyst layer and an anode catalyst layer are joined to central portions of two surfaces of a solid polymer electrolyte membrane and further held from two sides between a fuel electrode substrate having a surface area that is larger than that of the cathode catalyst layer and an oxidizer electrode substrate having a surface area that is larger than that of the anode catalyst layer, wherein: pores of a fuel-sealing support portion surrounding the cathode catalyst layer in the fuel electrode substrate are partially or wholly filled with a resin; pores of an oxidizer-sealing support portion surrounding the anode catalyst layer in the oxidizer electrode substrate are partially or wholly filled with the resin; and the fuel-sealing support portion and the oxidizer-sealing support portion are bonded to the solid polymer electrolyte membrane by the resin.

An inflatable mattress has a body and multiple chamber walls. The body has a top, a bottom, an annular sidewall, a primary chamber defined in the body and a partitioning member mounted in the primary chamber between the top and bottom surfaces. The chamber walls are arranged in a row, are mounted in the primary chamber adjacent to the top of the body above the partitioning member. Adjacent bags separate from each other at an interval. Each chamber wall has a sub chamber. The separate chamber walls individually and respectively support persons lying on the inflatable mattress so that each person's movement only deforms a corresponding chamber wall instead of deforming other chamber walls on which other persons lie. Therefore, the persons on the inflatable mattress would not interfere with each other.

A main body of a shoe sole includes a recess formed at an upper surface thereof and a non-slip cushion sheet attached to a bottom surface thereof, wherein pluralities of air chamber grooves are formed in the recess at a front portion of the main body and an air chamber groove is formed in the recess at a rear portion of the main body. A shoe liner covers open upper portions of the air chamber grooves so as to provide pluralities of tunnel-type air chambers. An outer periphery of the shoe liner is attached to an outer periphery of the upper surface of the main body and other portions of the shoe liner are inserted into the recess. The binding line between the shoe liner and the main body is snugly positioned within the interior boundary of the main body.

A jaw crusher includes a machine with a moving base, a fixed base, a crush travel adjusting mechanism for pivotally coupling the top of a crush travel adjusting base to the machine by an eccentric sleeve, and an automatic crush gap adjusting mechanism. A toggle plate is installed between the crush travel adjusting base and the moving base. A pull rod of the moving base having a compression spring tightly presses front and rear ends of the toggle plate. The automatic crush gap adjusting mechanism fixes a steel slot of a stop plate and a pair of triangular wedge-shaped lumps to the position adjusting base of the machine, and the stop plate is installed between the steel slot and the crush travel adjusting base, and a pull rod of the adjusting base having a compression spring tightly presses both front and rear ends of the stop plate.

A seat frame comprises a unitary magnesium die cast body having a top, a bottom, two sides, and front and back surfaces. The front surface has an outer perimeter flange positioned adjacent the two sides and the top of the body. An inner perimeter flange is spaced from and generally coextensive with the outer perimeter flange. The front surface also has at least one generally horizontally oriented flange and at least two generally diagonally oriented flanges. This arrangement, together with the use of the die cast magnesium, results in a lightweight yet strong and durable frame that provides generally uniform support to the overlying seat cushion. The frame body is also provided with a large aperture that is positioned to desirably lower the seat assembly center of gravity.
