Abstract:
The present application relates to overmoulded printed electronic parts as well as to methods for preparing overmoulded printed electronic parts using conductive trace inks such as molecular inks, thermoset resins, and reinforcing materials such as glass microspheres and glass fabric.
Abstract:
A stiffening element comprises a tension and compression member, a shear member, an attachment member, and a plurality of beads. The tension and compression member is positioned spaced apart from the skin and configured to bear tension or compression forces that stiffen the skin and prevent the skin from buckling or bending. The shear member is connected to the tension and compression member and configured to bear shear forces between the skin and the tension and compression member. The attachment member is connected to the shear member and is configured to connect to the skin. The beads each create out-of-plane feature that is positioned in at least one of the shear member and the attachment member. The beads permit the stiffening element be reshaped to adjust a longitudinal curvature of the stiffening element.

Abstract:
A post mold cooling system for cooling preforms is disclosed. The post mold cooling system includes a take-out device that is configured to remove preforms from a molding area and deliver them to a post mold cooling area, and a cooling station that is configured to cool the preforms. A first transfer device is configured to transfer the preforms between the take-out device and the cooling station, and a second transfer device is configured to transfer the preforms away from the cooling station.
Abstract:
A fluid directing assembly can comprise a molded support comprising a modified epoxy molded compound which includes epoxy resin, cross-linker, filler, and is devoid of wax release agent. The assembly can also include a silicon die attached to the molded support and wherein the silicon die and the molded support define a fluid directing channel.
Abstract:
Provided is a blow-molded container exhibiting inhibited coloring, odor, and generation of defects such as gelation and streaks which are caused on melt molding, and having a superior appearance. Also provided is a blow-molded container that has a favorable self-purge feature in production and satisfactory qualities such as strength, and can be produced at low cost. The blow-molded container includes a first layer containing an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (I), wherein the first layer contains a saturated carbonyl compound (II) having 3 to 8 carbon atoms, the saturated carbonyl compound (II) is a saturated aldehyde (II-1), a saturated ketone (II-2) or a combination thereof, and the content of the saturated carbonyl compound (II) in the first layer is 0.01 ppm or greater and 100 ppm or less.
Abstract:
A monomer for a polymerisable composition is described, the monomer having the formula (I): wherein: —R1 is —H or alkyl; —Z— is —O—, —NH— or —NR—, where —R is optionally substituted alkyl or C5-10 aryl; —Ar1 and —Ar2 are each independently optionally substituted C5-10 aryl; —R2 is —H, or optionally substituted alkyl or C5-10 aryl; and x and y are each independently 1 to 4. Also described are polymers formed from the composition, and ophthalmic lens products.
Abstract:
A method produces a reinforcing fiber sheet in which a plurality of bundles of reinforcing fibers lined up into one direction to form a plane are adhered to one another through a binder in an amount far smaller than that of the bundles. This method includes step (a) of placing a plurality of reinforcing fibers each having any length at any position on a flat plate, and fixing the reinforcing fibers onto the flat plate, step (b) of placing a binder onto the reinforcing fibers to be adhered onto the fibers, and step (c) of separating the reinforcing fibers from the flat plate.
Abstract:
A preform for thermoset resin composition molding is provided that upon cure forms a variety of molded and fiber reinforced articles used in a variety of applications such as vehicle components including bed lines, body components, trim, interior components, and undercar components; architectural components such as trim and doors, marine components including hulls, trim, and cockpit pieces; and similar structures in aerospace settings. A novel slurry composition, a novel centrifugal process, or a combination thereof provide superior quality preforms that are created with greater throughput relative to conventional techniques. The inhibition of fiber movement between the time such a fiber contacts the mold, or fibers already in place on the mold, and the time the fibers are set in position provides a superior fiber homogeneity and randomized orientation relative to existing slurry techniques with attributes of low scrap generation, and process flexibility with respect to part shape and fiber material.
Abstract:
A process for drawing, with plug assist, thin walled, closed-ended, tubular articles of thermoplastic elastomer is disclosed as well as a thermoplastic elastomer and apparatus therefor. According to the process, a plug, extensible into the mold cavity, is employed concurrently with a varying air pressure differential across the faces of the preform to bias the flow of the drawn article axially along the length of the tubular mold and away from the mold walls. At a point where the article is drawn substantially the length of the tubular mold, the mold is evacuated and the article finally formed against the mold walls. Such articles are usefully employed as condoms or finger cots.
