The film sealing and wrapping machine with a rotary cut and seal jaw is provided. The rotary cut and seal jaw has an internal sliding mechanism which provides for smooth and quiet operation. The rotational speed of the jaw may be varied to increase through put and to provide for a title bag around products. The rotary cut and seal jaw may comprise a seal bar and pressure pad may both be spring loaded to self align the seal bar and pressure pad during the sealing and cutting process. Lastly, a gap defined by a belt disposed upstream and downstream of the seal bar and pressure pad may be mechanically linked to the pressure pad through a control carriage.

A sole structure for an article of footwear includes an upper layer formed of a first foam material and a lower layer formed of a second foam material and having a hardness that is greater than a hardness of the upper layer. In addition, a plate can be disposed between the upper layer and the lower layer, where the plate has a hardness that is greater than each of the upper and lower layers.

A composite thermoplastic film and the manufacturing method are provided in the present invention. The method includes: providing a first structural layer and a second structural layer; performing a co-extrusion step to form a composite layer, in which to use a first extruding machine to perform the co-extrusion step, so the first structural layer is divided into a first thermal fuse film and a third thermal fuse film, and use a second extruding machine to perform the co-extrusion step, so the second structural layer is formed as a second thermal fuse film and disposed between the first thermal fuse film and the third thermal fuse film to form a composite layer; and performing a film-forming step, the composite layer is cooled to form a film through a forming wheel, and a rotating speed of the forming wheel can be controlled to acquire a desired thickness of the composite thermoplastic film.

Disclosed are systems and methods for manufacturing compression collars for reinforcing sealed connections between a length of piping and a plumbing fitting. Specifically, compression collars and related methods of making include extruding a hollow tube having one or more ridges which are then partially removed or trimmed to provide positioning tabs on one end of the compression collar. The compression collars can be cut to the desired length from the extruded hollow tube. In this way, compression collars with features for enhancing the strength and reliability of an interference fit, as well as their ease of use, can be manufactured rapidly with little material waste through modifications to the extrusion process.

The present disclosure is directed to a formulations of cements and methods for bonding dissimilar materials. The formulations and methods can bond a Non-polyvinyl chloride (PVC) containing first polyolefin that is amorphous or has low crystallinity to a second material that is a rigid material or a hard PVC. The methods and formulations can work by co-dissolution at an interface, or activation of a one of the materials prior to bonding.
