A multi-fluid kit for three-dimensional printing can include a fusing agent and a detailing agent. The fusing agent can include water and a radiation absorber. The radiation absorber absorbs radiation energy and converts the radiation energy to heat. The detailing agent includes a lipophilic phase discontinuously dispersed within an aqueous phase by a surfactant. The lipophilic phase includes an organosilane having a central silicon atom coupled to a C6 to C24 aliphatic or alicyclic hydrocarbon and multiple hydrolyzable groups. The organosilane is present in the detailing agent at from about 1 wt % to about 20 wt %.

A method for forming a silicone container having a reinforced rim. A layer of adhesive is applied to the outer surface of a metal ring. The adhesive layer is covered with a first plug of unvulcanized silicone. The first plug of unvulcanized silicone is then vulcanized to form a vulcanized silicone covered metal ring. The vulcanized silicone covered metal ring is then inserted into a mold along with a second plug of unvulcanized silicone. The second plug of unvulcanized silicone is then vulcanized so that it binds with the vulcanized silicone covered metal ring to form a silicone container having a reinforced rim. In one preferred embodiment the silicone container having a reinforced rim is a bowl. In another preferred embodiment the silicone container having a reinforced rim is a cup.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to polyethylene-based compositions, monolayer films, multilayer films, laminates, and articles. In one aspect, a polyethylene-based composition comprises (A) at least 95% by weight, based on the total weight of the polyethylene-based composition, of one or more polyethylenes; and (B) 250 to 15,000 ppm, based on the total weight of the polyethylene-based composition, of a polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight (M.sub.n) of 1,000 to 40,000 g/mol, wherein the polyethylene-based composition has a density of 0.865 to 0.915 g/cm.sup.3 and a melt index (I.sub.2) of 0.5 to 25 g/10 minutes.

A vehicle lamp includes: a lamp body that has an opening in a direction of light radiation; a front cover that covers the opening to define a housing and includes, on an inner surface, an anti-fogging film mainly composed of a synthetic resin; a light source that is disposed in the housing; and a silicone resin part that is disposed in the housing. A content of D3 to D20 cyclic low molecular weight siloxanes in the silicone resin part is 0 ppm to 300 ppm in terms of mass.

Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed for fabricating a hybrid contact lens product having a lens insert embedded at a precisely controlled location within a lens body. A mold engagement and support base engages and retains a lens forming mold in a substantially fixed position. An insert placement and positioning device includes an insert pickup head with a contact face configured for releasable engagement of the lens insert and at least one suction opening in the contact face for applying suction to engage the insert on the contact face. A positioning housing interacts with the mold and/or the support base to provide precise locational positioning of the lens insert within the mold. A lens body forming material is delivered to the mold to encapsulate the lens insert.

Methods for creating semolina flour-based shape-changing food from a multi-layered dough with at least one grooved surface. The dough layers have difference compositions including natural, staple and edible ingredients. The dough is exposed to stimuli during dehydration (e.g., baking) or hydration (e.g., boiling) processes.

Multicolored flexible wearables include a first portion having a first flexible polymer forming a toroid and including colorant(s), an exposed first outer surface, an exposed second outer surface, and a recess in the first outer surface not reaching the second outer surface. A second portion formed of a second flexible polymer fills a majority of the recess and includes colorant(s). The first and second flexible polymers have different colors and are permanently bonded together. Precious material particles may be disposed within the first and/or second flexible polymers. One or more of the colorants may have a color matching a color of the precious material particles. One method of bonding the portions includes depositing a liquid second portion into the recess and then curing it. Another method includes depositing a solid second portion into the recess and then curing a liquid layer of polymer between the first portion and second portion.

Method, and apparatus, for applying a heat-activated double-sided adhesive tape (10) to a support (20) by: activate by heating the double-sided adhesive tape (10) with laser light from at least two different laser light emitters (30), salid emitters each compörising an optical collimator (31) adapted to project a cylindrical light beam (33), and bringing into mutual contact said activated double-sided adhesive tape (10) with said support (20) in a contact zone so they join.

Fluid transfer assemblies for transferring fluid into or out of a single vessel and distributing the fluid to multiple other vessels are provided. The fluid transfer assemblies are customizable, substantially aseptic, and single-use. The fluid transfer assemblies may be manufactured by solidifying polymeric materials to form a body around a mandrel with protrusions engaged to fluid conduits and leaving recesses in the solidified polymeric material to stretch the resultant body and remove the mandrel with protrusions. The resultant fluid transfer assembly may be surrounded by a rigid housing and valves may be engaged with the conduits and/or body to control the fluid flow within the fluid transfer assembly.
