Abstract:
A rotary cylindrical mold member and a method for its production, is adapted to be used in a system for molding three-dimensional products from a mass of one or more food starting materials which are suitable for consumption. The method includes preparing at least one mold body forming part of the cylindrical outer surface of the mold member, wherein one or more recessed mold cavities are formed. Subsequently preparing a support member defining one or more fluid channels, recessed in the support surface Heat emitting parts or particles are provided close to the inner surface of the mold body and/or the supporting surface of the support member. Energy is provided to the heat emitting parts or particles, thereby causing the parts or particles to emit heat and thereby locally melt the adjacent porous first plastic and the second plastic to obtain a weld and thereby secure the support member and the mold body to each other.
Abstract:
A composition comprising: (a) a thermoplastic polymer; (b) a plurality of particles, each said particle comprising (i) a core comprising one or more magnetic materials and (ii) a shell comprising silicon dioxide; and (c) structural fibers, wherein the composition comprises particles (b) in an amount from 1 to 30 wt % based on the weight of the thermoplastic polymer (a) is provided. Further provided is a tape comprising the composition, a pipe comprising the tape and a method of making such pipe.
Abstract:
A disposable absorbent article including at least one fusion bond accomplished by the application of an electromagnetic field and a method for producing the fusion bond are disclosed. The article includes a first component, a second component underlying the first component; and a third component underlying the second component. The fusion bond is disposed directly above the third component and bonds the first component to second component. The fusion bond includes a receptor susceptible to an electromagnetic field. The first component of the article has an outer surface that includes at least one receptor area disposed directly above the fusion bond. The receptor area can have a tactile property that is a substantially equal to a tactile property of the outer surface surrounding the receptor area.
Abstract:
A method for bonding a first workpiece to a second workpiece, the method comprising: providing a first workpiece comprising an elastomeric polymer comprising portion; providing a second workpiece comprising an elastomeric polymer comprising portion; contacting the first and second workpieces such that an overlap region comprising a region of the elastomeric polymer comprising portion of the first workpiece and a region of the elastomeric polymer comprising portion of the second workpiece is formed; and after said contacting, exposing at least a portion of the overlap region to light of a selected wavelength in an amount adequate to heat the light exposed portion sufficiently to bond the elastomeric polymer comprising portion of the first workpiece to the elastomeric polymer comprising portion of the second workpiece.
Abstract:
A method of manufacture and assembly of multiwell plates employing targeted radiation at an interface in order to achieve bonding is disclosed. The method accommodates glass and polymer attachment as well as polymer to polymer attachment. The resulting plates have unique flatness and optical properties. The multiwell test plate (10) includes a peripheral skirt (12) and an upper surface (13) having an array of wells (14) and top rim (16).
Abstract:
A first housing (2) includes a first part (4) and a second part (6), both of which comprise PEEK-OPTIMA (Trade Mark) polymer. The two parts (4, 6) are arranged to cooperate so that they can be laser welded and define a hermetically sealed housing (2) which may house electronic (and/or other) components and maintain them in a dry, sealed environment. The housing and contained electronic components may define an implantable device, for example a heart pacemaker, for long term implantation in a human body.

Abstract:
The invention pertains to a grid comprising drawn polymeric strips (1, 2) in at least two different directions, with the strips being bonded together in the zone or zones of overlap (3), wherein the said zone comprises at least two spatially separated bonding points or lines. The grids according to the invention exhibit improved strength and can be manufactured in a very efficient manner.
Abstract:
Un systeme de raccordement sterile comprend un premier organe et un second organe de raccordement (10, 12), chacun de ces organes comprenant un boitier creux (26, 42) et un orifice (14, 16) pour l'ecoulement d'un fluide en communication depuis et vers chaque boitier creux. L'un des organes de raccordement (10, 12) est opaque et l'autre est transparent, ces deux organes etant en un materiau thermoplastique, au moins une partie de la paroi transparente thermoplastique de l'un des organes de raccordement etant placee de facon adjacente a la paroi opaque thermoplastique, que de l'autre organe de raccordement et le long de celle-ci. Dans une realisation typique, les deux organes de raccordement sont de forme tubulaire, l'organe opaque (10) s'inserant dans l'organe transparent (12) de facon telescopique. Ainsi, l'energie radiante peut fondre au moins une partie de la paroi opaque (28) par absorption, et au moins une partie de la paroi transparente (44) peut fondre de facon correspondante essentiellement par conduction depuis l'organe opaque et provoquer l'apparition d'un trou entre les deux parois et la fusion l'un avec l'autre des materiaux de la paroi.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (1) for an engine which includes an oil pan (2) made of a plastic material having a hollow shape (21) containing lubricating oil defined by a bottom wall (22), a plurality of side walls (24) and upper edges (25). The oil pan (2) has at least one exchanger surface (30) which comprises means for circulating oil and means for circulating a coolant, and a heat exchanger (4) in which oil and a coolant circulate, comprising a series of plates (41) made of a plastic material welded together two-by-two and welded to the exchanger surface (30).
