A joining structure includes a first member, a second member of a material different from that of the first member, and a separation mechanism provided between the first member and the second member and that separates the first member and the second member from each other, wherein a resin is filled into the space between the edge of at least one member among the first member and the second member, and the other member.

A weather strip including a bottom wall, a first lateral wall and a second lateral wall and in which an angle between the bottom wall and the first lateral wall is constant and an angle between the bottom wall and the second lateral wall is partially varied in a longitudinal direction is manufactured. The method includes: a first step of pre-forming the angle of the first lateral wall and the angle of the second lateral wall to be constant and equal to or larger than final maximum angles; a second step of regulating a boundary between the bottom wall and the second lateral wall from moving toward the first lateral wall by a regulating member; a third step of partially varying the angle of the second lateral wall by a movable roller; and a fourth step of forming the angle of the first lateral wall by a fine-movable roller.

A component of a vehicle structure is obtained by a hot forming operation on a hybrid panel having a sheet element of light alloy and a sheet of plastic material. The hybrid panel is hot formed by pressing it against a forming surface of a mould element by a pressurized gas or by a second mould element. Following this operation, the hybrid panel assumes a configuration corresponding to the forming surface, whereas the light alloy sheet element and the plastic material sheet constituting the hybrid panel adhere to each other following softening by heat of the plastic material. Before the hot forming step, a surface of said light alloy sheet element which must contact the plastic material sheet is subjected to a roughening treatment, thereby defining surface asperities between which the plastic material of the plastic material sheet is inserted when it is softened by heat.

Apparatus and method for screeding/rodding concrete (and method of manufacture of the same), comprising: a rigid base member configured to comprise a tight tolerance of levelness along its length, and a mounting structure for securely attaching a working layer; attachment of a preferably fiberglass working layer comprising a durable material deposited on the rigid base member and capable of being finished to a smooth surface suitable for advantageous direct contact with poured wet concrete.

A vehicle chassis sensor assembly for measuring the ride height of a vehicle which comprises a rotary arm member including an overmolded magnet encapsulated in the rotary arm member. In one embodiment, the overmolded magnet includes a layer of overmold material defining an open overmold window in the side and/or top exterior surfaces of the layer of overmold material. Another embodiment includes a pair of spaced magnets that are completely encapsulated in a two step molding process before being molded into a rotary arm member.

The present invention relates to a composite coating for an inner tube delimiting a passageway for a fluid for obtaining a pipe for conveying fluids in HVACR systems.

An elongate medical device having an axis comprises an inner liner, a jacket radially outward of the liner, a braid comprising metal embedded in the jacket, a sensor, and at least one wire electrically connected to said sensor. The at least one wire is one of: embedded in the jacket and optionally disposed helically around the braid; extending longitudinally within a tube which extends generally parallel to the device axis and wherein the tube is embedded in the jacket; and disposed within a lumen, wherein the lumen extends longitudinally within the jacket.

A method for forming a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic part may comprise the steps of locating a lightning strike protection layer on a mold surface of a mold tool, locating a thermoplastic layer over the mold tool, heating the thermoplastic layer to a pliable forming temperature, conforming the thermoplastic layer to a mold surface of the mold tool, and depositing a plurality of fiber strips over the thermoplastic layer.

The invention relates to a strut, such as fiber composite struts used in aircraft or spacecraft, which has a largest possible outer diameter within a cylindrical installation space of the strut. The invention concerns an insert connected to a fiber composite hollow structure, such as a fiber plastic composite hollow structure, where the hollow structure engages an undercut of the insert, wherein the outer region of the fiber composite hollow structure likewise has an undercut and this undercut is filled with a fiber composite jacket, such as a fiber plastic composite jacket, and the inner region of the fiber composite hollow structure has, at least in one subregion, a core connected thereto.

The present disclosure is drawn to covers for electronic devices, methods of making the covers, and electronic devices. In one example, described herein is a cover for an electronic device comprising: a substrate comprising a metal; insert molded plastic on at least one surface of the substrate; a passivation layer or a micro-arc oxidation layer applied on at least one surface of the substrate; a coating composition on the passivation layer or the micro-arc oxidation layer; an outmoid decoration layer on the mating composition; a chamfered edge on the substrate, wherein the chamfered edge cuts through the outmoid decoration layer, the coating composition, the passivation layer or the micro-arc oxidation layer, and partially through the substrate; and wherein the chamfered edge comprises; a transparent passivation layer, then an optional sealing layer, and then a transparent or color electrophoretic deposition coating layer.
