A flexible, multi-product, multi-technology, expandable facility for manufacturing products, such as biologicals, pharmaceuticals, or chemicals, and manufacturing processes using elements of such a facility.

A manufacture work machine for preforming a manufacture work, including: work-element performing apparatuses each configured to perform one of work elements of the manufacture work, and a central control device to control the apparatuses in a centralized manner, such that motion commands for one motion to be performed by one of the apparatuses are sequentially transmitted, wherein each apparatus has an individual control device to control an operation of said each apparatus and at least one operating device for performing a work element corresponding to said each apparatus, and wherein the individual control device is configured to recognize a matter of the motion command transmitted from the central control device and is configured to control an operation of each of the at least one operating device so as to permit one of the apparatuses to which the individual control device belongs to perform one motion corresponding to the motion command.

A case-mold-type capacitor includes a capacitor element, first and second bus bars connected to the first and second electrodes of the capacitor element, a case accommodating the capacitor element and the first and second bus bars, and a mold resin filling the case therein. The case has a cutaway portion provided therein. A sealing plate joined to the case so as to seal the cutaway portion. The first and second bus bars pass through the sealing plate and are fixed to the sealing plate. The case-mold-type capacitor improves dimensional accuracy between terminal portions of the first and second bus bars without increasing material cost, and has high reliability.

Two cylinder heads are disposed side by side. Upper side intake valve holes of one of the cylinder heads and upper side exhaust valve holes of the other of the cylinder heads are simultaneously machined by a multi-spindle head integrally including intake side tools and exhaust side tools. After moving the one of the cylinder heads upward by a pitch of the intake valves and moving the other of the cylinder heads upward by a pitch of the exhaust valves, remaining intake valve holes of the one of the cylinder heads and remaining exhaust valve holes of the other of the cylinder heads are simultaneously machined.

A method of manufacturing a micro-chamber plate with a built-in sample, including: settling a micro-chamber plate for sample injection at a micro-chamber plate receiving part formed with an upper opening; disposing a cover for micro-chamber plate receiving part to cover the upper opening, the cover for micro-chamber plate receiving part having a provisional storing part and an auxiliary covering part connected with the provisional storing part and formed with a through-hole for auxiliary covering part; and manufacturing a micro-chamber plate with a built-in sample by putting the micro-chamber plate receiving part, on which the cover is disposed, into a centrifugal separator which can apply vacuum, applying centrifugal force and injecting a sample solution provisionally stored in the provisional storing part into the micro-chamber plate through a vessel communication part which is formed at the provisional storing part to be communicated with the micro-chamber plate receiving part.

A method for installing a ventilation hood to an underside of a wall cabinet including providing a ventilation hood having a housing, a removable utility structure with an aligning mechanism and at least one hanger stud. The removable utility structure is placed proximate the wall cabinet in at least one measuring position, wherein the aligning mechanism of the removable utility structure locates anchorage points of the ventilation hood. Hanger studs are secured in the anchorage points. The removable utility structure is secured to the housing in a structural position at least partially covering an electrical system of the ventilation hood. The housing is placed on the hanger studs to secure the ventilation hood proximate the wall cabinet. Electrical power is connected to the electrical system while the housing is secured on the hanger studs. The housing of the ventilation hood is then secured to the wall cabinet.

This document discloses novel conduits for telecommunications lines, such as optical fibers. In an aspect, a conduit might have a body defining one or more channels into which optical fibers can be inserted. In another aspect, the body might have a first face that is substantially planar and a second face opposing the first face. The second face might a low-rise arc profile and/or might be configured to be installed into a depression in a material. Also disclosed are methods and tools for installing, using, and/or removing such conduit.

A steering yoke cutting equipment with automatic transporting system which comprising a blanking press machine for cutting the yoke, a yoke input mechanism, intermediate transporting mechanism and a yoke output mechanism. The intermediate transporting mechanism which comprising a guide track, two sliding pieces slidably mounted the guide track, sliding piece cylinder, two sets of mechanical hands respectively fix mounted on the two sliding pieces; the yoke input mechanism and the yoke output mechanism are respectively arranged at two end of the intermediate transporting mechanism.

A system and method are provided to automate the assembly of a wing panel, such as utilized by commercial aircraft. In the context of a system, a tacking cell is provided that is configured to tack one or more stringers to a skin plank. The system also includes a riveting cell configured to receive a tacked plank from the tacking cell and to rivet the one or more stringers to the skin plank. The system also includes a splicing cell configured to receive a plurality of riveted planks from the riveting cell and to attach one or more splice stringers to the plurality of riveted planks. Further, the system includes a side of body cell configured to receive a spliced panel from the splicing cell and to attach a side of body chord thereto to produce a wing panel.

A system and method for installing a ventilation hood to an underside of a wall cabinet includes providing structure for initially establishing mounting or anchoring points for the ventilation hood, securing first mounting structure for the ventilation hood, supporting the ventilation hood on the first mounting structure, and then further securing the ventilation hood with an additional fastening arrangement to complete the installation.
