Abstract:
The disclosure describes implantable medical products, that include dry or partially hydrated biocompatible biostaples suitable for ligament repairs or replacements comprising collagen fibers that may be configured to expand in situ after implantation to frictionally engage a bone tunnel wall or bone sleeve to thereby affix the construct in the bone tunnel.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a form element, comprising of: I) arranging a cladding layer (5) of polar plastic material in a mould (1); ii) bringing at least a part of the cladding layer into contact at increased pressure with thermoplastic plastic material (7) of increased temperature; iii) allowing the thermoplastic plastic material and the polar cladding layer to cool, wherein the thermoplastic plastic material forms a solid plastic element which is adhered to at least a part of the polar cladding layer. The invention further relates to such form elements and to the use thereof in vehicles.
Abstract:
The present invention refers to an adequate composite material to be prepared by an injection process and to an injection process of a composite material. In accordance with the process of the present invention, the composite material is prepared by carrying out the steps of (i) making the length of the natural fibers uniform; (ii) treating the surface of the natural fibers and of the lignocellulosic residues, if present; (iii) premixing the components of the composite; (iv) extruding and granulating the composite material; and (v) injection molding the material of the composite for the conformation of the parts.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a load carrier at least partially made of a nonwoven composite material board, said nonwoven composite material board comprising: - unravelled natural fibers and/or glass fibers, and - Plastic fibers. In addition, the present invention is directed to a process for manufacturing a load carrier comprising mixing unravelled natural fibers and/or glass fibers, and plastic fibers, and thermoforming said mix into a nonwoven composite material layer. It should be clear that the present invention is applied to any type of load carriers, such as boxes, top decks, cases, crates, and the like, and in particular pallets.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing boards that are assembled with a frame member to form top assemblies for covering household appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers for industrial and domestic use. The production consists of manufacturing the board of the top panel by a new material replacing the materials used today by a completely automated method without waste as such a material can be fully recycled. The invention relates to the manufacturing of a new material in order to produce a board which does not consist of wood anymore by an injection moulding method.
Abstract:
A method for producing a fiber-reinforced plastic substance from a thermoplastic or thermoelastic natural polymer or polymer blend with at least one natural polymer and natural fibers, characterized in that the natural polymer is pre-mixed in a particle form with natural fibers, the pre-mixture is fed to an injection press for plasticizing and the plasticized mixture is transferred to a casting mould via an outflow, a casting-on device or the like.
Abstract:
A plain stepped splice lay-out scheme is presented that can be used for splicing strips to one another that comprise longitudinally arranged cords. The strips can take the form of a conveyor belt, transmission belt, timing belt, elevator belt, a rubber track or a reinforcing strip. The splice is optimised for uniform bending stiffness and maximum strength retention. The cross section of the strip and the splice are substantially equal: there is no increase in thickness or width at the splice. The splice lay-out is characterised by the fact that the abutments (130) -those positions where cord ends (111, 121) meet -are positioned sufficiently far away from one another and by preference as far away from one another as possible. Preferred embodiments in terms of length common between cords of the different strips and local strength are given.
