A tool element assembly (10) is provided in which ambient air is drawn into a fluid chamber (24) and heated via a heating element (28) in order to provide a low pressure, efficient, heating system.

In a method for processing a fiber compound structure, an unhardened fiber layer is arranged on a surface section of the fiber compound structure. A pressure cushion is arranged above the surface section. The pressure cushion has a pressure cap and a pressure-tight cap mat pressure-tightly connected to a circumferential border of the pressure cap such that the cap mat limits a pressure area together with the pressure cap. An overpressure in the pressure area is generated. The pressure cushion is pressed onto the fiber compound structure such that the overpressure presses the cap mat against the fiber layer while supporting the fiber compound structure on a side of the fiber compound structure that is opposed to the surface section. The fiber layer is hardened

A method for preparing a PBAT laminated membrane composite material uses PBAT or a material with PBAT as the main component and other biodegradable plastic or superfine calcium carbonate in a mixture. The temperature of the mixture is increased by means of a lamination machine segment by segment, the material is heated slowly to a molten state, and the temperature of a rolling shaft is controlled by introducing cold water to the rolling shaft when the lamination machine conducts membrane lamination, so that the temperatures of rolling wheels and the laminated membrane are controlled.

The extrusion device of a solid film comprises a cell provided with an input opening of a material designed to form the solid film, and an output opening of the solid film from the cell. The device comprises a first heat exchanger for applying a first temperature to the output opening and a second heat exchanger for applying a second temperature in a first zone of the cell distinct from the output opening and a control circuit imposing first and second sets of first and second temperatures. The first set enables a volume of the material in solid phase to be formed. The second set enables a temperature gradient to be generated in the volume so as to generate a pressure forcing extrusion of the solid film via the output opening.

Provided herein are methods of forming and optimizing cured features on a surface including controlling the surface upon which the cured features are applied. Additionally, a system for forming and processing the topographical features on the membrane is also described, along with mechanical features at specific system stations. More particularly, provided herein are methods of forming and optimizing topographical features applied to a membrane surface by controlling the membrane surface and by controlling the direction and magnitude of pressure applied to the membrane (substrate), as well as initially partially curing the topographical features, followed by fully curing of the topographical features to form the membrane having topographical spacing features formed thereon.

A vessel manufacturing method includes placing a bag-shaped, film-based vessel on a placement stage with concave portions formed on the stage, introducing fluid into the vessel placed on the stage, and pressing the vessel which is placed on the stage, by a pressing member while heating at least one of the stage and the pressing member. A cell culture vessel is also provided which includes a first vessel wall as a bottom wall and a second vessel wall. The first vessel wall is formed of a flat film having gas permeability. The second vessel wall is disposed in contact with a peripheral edge portion of the first vessel wall, and has a bulge shape protruding relative to the first vessel wall. The first vessel wall is flat at its section other than a region where the first vessel wall is in contact with at least a charge/discharge port.

A stretching apparatus includes a heat treatment unit 12 configured to perform a heat treatment to a film 8 to be stretched. The heat treatment unit 12 includes a chamber 31, an air supply unit 32 configured to supply air into the chamber 31, an exhaust unit 33 configured to exhaust air from the chamber 31, a pressure measuring unit 34 configured to measure a pressure inside the chamber 31, and a control unit 35. The exhaust unit 33 has an exhaust port 51 provided in the chamber 31 and an exhaust blower 54 capable of exhausting air through the exhaust port 51. The control unit 35 controls the pressure inside the chamber 31 by adjusting an air volume of the exhaust blower 54 based on the pressure measured by the pressure measuring unit 34.

A device for cooling and stabilizing the cured tyre includes a beam which with a non-movable element; a movable element; a guide. An actuator moves the movable element relative to the beam. The non-movable element or the movable element has a shaft has a spline, and a first disc. The other one of the non-movable element or the movable element has a closing mechanism with a second disc with a threaded axial opening, a main electric motor and a securing socket. The closing mechanism cooperates with the shaft via the securing socket. The main electric motor is coupled with the securing socket. The second disc is mounted so that rotation of the securing socket causes sliding of the second disc along the axis of the securing socket. The closing mechanism is configured so that adjustment of the second disc in parallel to the axis of the beam is possible.

The invention relates to a method and arrangement of crosslinking or vulcanizing an elongate element, the method including an extrusion step in which a conductor element is coated by a layer of crosslinkable synthetic material and a crosslinking step in which crosslinking reaction is carried out after the extrusion step. The crosslinking reaction is carried out at first in a first heating zone by heating by heating the coated conductor element in a temperature of 550 degrees Celsius or higher. The first heating zone is located downstream of the extrusion step. After the first heating zone the crosslinking reaction is carried further by heating the coated conductor in a temperature of 200-300 degrees Celsius in a second heating zone.

Using a friction material composition comprising: a fiber; a friction adjusting material; a binding material; and an uncrosslinked rubber being solid at normal temperature (25 C.), a friction material is obtained, wherein an ambient compressibility in a piston-pressing direction is 2% or less at normal temperature (25 C.) and at 4 MPa, and a tan value in a sliding direction at 20 C. to 50 C. is 0.05 or larger. Thereby, a friction material which has high damping properties and acceptable brake noise, which can prevent a decrease in responsiveness when brakes are applied, and prevent a decrease in the feeling of effectiveness associated therewith, and which can suppress a decrease in the fuel efficiency and an increase in abrasion caused by the dragging occurring when the friction material is brought into contact with a brake rotor; and a method for producing the friction material, can be provided.
