A resin member has a longitudinal direction, includes a stretchable portion having an extending portion extending in a direction crossing the longitudinal direction, when the resin member is stretched in the longitudinal direction, an angle at which the extending portion extends changes, and the material of the stretchable portion contains cellulose fibers and a resin.

A method of recycling a thermosetting polymer object of arbitrary shape includes: operating a fixture device to hold and rotate the thermosetting polymer object; operating a smart and modularized water jet cutter device to shatter the thermosetting polymer object outside-in into a wet polymer powder; drying the wet polymer powder; flattening the partially dried wet polymer powder; completely drying the flattened wet polymer powder; and separating the dried polymer powder into first and second groups, the particle size of the first group dried polymer powder being greater than a predetermined value, the particle size of the second group fried polymer powder being not greater than the predetermined value.

A method and apparatus for extrusion of an article is provided. A die assembly can apply flows of thermoplastic material to an array of reinforcing cables to form a composite extrusion. A slider fabric can be bonded to one side of the composite extrusion. After exiting the die assembly, the slider fabric can act to support the extrudate as it passes along an elongate mandrel, which can cause the base of the slider fabric to change shape from a flat profile to the final internal profile of the article. The extruded article can then be cooled to solidify the material. The die can include cooling for the slider fabric and means for promoting penetration of the thermoplastic into reinforcing cables.

A band includes a tubular body configured to be worn on a user's body and a pocket supported by the tubular body, where the pocket defines a cavity and has an access opening providing access to the cavity, and where the pocket is configured to removably receive an electronic module in the cavity through the access opening. An input device is connected to the tubular body and has a port exposed to the cavity of the band, where the port is configured for removable connection to a connector of the electronic module when the electronic module is received in the cavity. The input device may include a button configured to receive user input and a wireless transmitter to transmit a signal to an external device based on the user input. The input device may also include a haptic feedback mechanism for communicating haptic signals to the user.

A deflection member that includes a reinforcing member that includes a resin coating, and at least one tile fastened to the resin coating.

The disclosure relates to an extruder head for extruding cord reinforced extrudate, wherein the extruder head includes a die and a cord guide, wherein the extruder head further includes a first flow channel that extends along a first flow path through the extruder head at and debouches into the die from a first side of a cord plane and a second flow channel that extends along a second flow path through the extruder head at and debouches into the die from a second side of the cord plane, wherein the first flow path and the second flow path each include a supply section and a coat-hanger section, wherein the first flow path and the second flow path, in their respective coat-hanger sections, extend within a first range of eighty-five to ninety-five degrees with respect to the cord plane along at least seventy percent of the coat-hanger sections.

A track for traction of a vehicle, such as an agricultural vehicle, an industrial vehicle (e.g., a construction vehicle), a military vehicle, or another off-road vehicle, is provided. The track comprises a ground-engaging outer surface for engaging the ground and a plurality of traction projections projecting from the ground-engaging outer surface and distributed in a longitudinal direction of the track. The traction projections may be designed to enhance their resistance to deterioration during use. For example, a blowout resistance of each traction projection may be enhanced to prevent or at least reduce a potential for blowout of the traction projection under repeated loads which may induce heat buildup within it. Also, a wear resistance of the traction projection may be enhanced such that the traction projection wears less rapidly. A system for protecting a track against potential occurrence of blowout is also provided.

A deflection member that includes a reinforcing member that includes a resin coating, and at least one tile fastened to the resin coating.

A belt includes; a first belt portion including a cover layer formed of a resin material and a first insert layer disposed within the cover layer and formed of a high-tensile material having a tensile strength higher than that of the resin material, the first belt portion having a bent shape along a circumferential direction of a living body; and a second belt portion configured to be connected to the first belt portion.

A deflection member that includes a reinforcing member and a plurality of tiles fastened to the reinforcing member.
