Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a heat insulation wall body, by which the heat insulation wall body can be manufactured economically. The method is a manufacturing method of a heat insulation wall body having a groove portion formed by a first side wall, a second side wall and a groove bottom. The method includes dispersing and mixing a heat insulating material in an aqueous medium to prepare a slurried heat insulating material, bringing a molding die having a vent and a surface corresponding to a shape of the groove portion, into the obtained slurried heat insulating material, and dehydrating the slurried heat insulating material via the vent, and releasing the molding die from the heat insulating material to prepare the heat insulation wall body in which a depth of the groove portion is fixed, and a width of the groove bottom is varied in a longitudinal direction of the groove portion.

Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for two or more cured composite assemblies that are bonded together to form a tubular composite structure, wherein each of the cured composite assemblies do not have a tubular shape. The tubular composite structure may form a spar for an aerodynamic component, for example. The two or more cured composite assemblies may comprise carbon or fiberglass composite materials or a combination of materials. Each of the cured composite assemblies may further comprise axial edges that are configured to be bonded to another of the cured composite assemblies, wherein the axial edges have a sloped shape. An adhesive agent may be applied on the axial edges for bonding two cured composite assemblies. Alternatively, or additionally, one or more fasteners may be used to attach the axial edges of at least two cured composite assemblies.

A hollow wall composite tube for improving performance in sports shafts and lightweight structural members is disclosed that includes: a constituent tube, for forming the wall, that comprises: a flexible core component, for providing an adjustable shape on which to wind or braid filaments or fabric; and an adjustable shape hollow structure, for reducing weight, providing a path for the core to be evacuated, tightly conformed to the core, and tow, braid filaments or fabric, for providing a reinforcing fiber matrix for saturation with epoxy, spirally wrapped, applied or braided on the constituent tube. Methods of producing contemplated composite tubes are also disclosed.

A method for creating a flexible portion or bending portion within a rigid structure. The method can also be used for creating a flexible structure from a rigid material. The method includes providing a substantially rigid material, such as, but not limited to, metals, alloys, hard plastics, and the like, and selectively removing portions of the rigid material defining a geometric pattern in the rigid material. A bending radius of the flexible portion is defined by the geometric pattern. The rigid structure may be used to create an enclosure, a cover for an electronic device, one or more hinges, or the like.

The present disclosure provides a food contact article. According to one embodiment, the food contact article includes at least one food contact surface. This at least one food contact surface is made up of at least 50 weight percent of at least one biodegradable polymer, such as polyhydroxyalkanoates, and from about 0.1 weight percent to about 1.0 weight percent of at least one antimicrobial agent.

The subject invention relates in part to Cry3Aa in combination with Cry6Aa. The subject invention relates in part to the surprising discovery that combinations of Cry3Aa and Cry6Aa are useful for preventing development of resistance (to either insecticidal protein system alone) by a corn rootworm (Diabrotica spp.) population. Included within the subject invention are plants producing these insecticidal Cry proteins, which are useful to mitigate concern that a corn rootworm population could develop that would be resistant to either of these insecticidal protein systems alone. The subject invention also relates in part to combinations of Cry3Aa and Cry6Aa proteins “triple-stacked” or “multi-stacked” with another insecticidal protein(s) such as a Cry6Aa protein or binary Cry34/35 proteins. Thus, such embodiments target rootworms with three modes of action. Transgenic plants, including corn, comprising a cry6Aa gene and a cry3Aa gene are included within the scope of the subject invention.

A three dimensional structure including a casing and a plurality of filling members is provided. The casing has a first opening. The filling members are disposed inside of the casing for supporting the casing, such that a plurality of hollow portions is defined by the casing and the filling members. The first opening connects between one of the hollow portions and the external environment, and the filling member located between two adjacent hollow portions has at least one second opening for connecting the two adjacent hollow portions. A three dimensional printing method is also provided.

In an embodiment, the gas storage device includes a cylinder with opposing ends. An endcap is present at each end. The cylinder and the endcaps form an enclosure. Each endcap includes a connector. A diaphragm is located in the enclosure. The diaphragm includes an annular sidewall. The device includes an inner chamber defined by an inner surface of the sidewall, and a storage space between an interior surface of the cylinder and an outer surface of the sidewall. A metal hydride composition is located in the storage space.

The present invention generally relates to reinforcement assemblies for matrix materials, and more specifically to reinforcement assemblies for continuous loop members with reinforced matrix materials.

The invention relates to a paper profile (1), in particular for a packaging element or packaging equipment of food packaging. The paper profile (1) has an elongated shape. The paper profile (1) is formed by at least one round or almost round, flexurally rigid paper rod (3) or a plurality of round or almost round, flexurally rigid solid paper rods (3). The flexural rigidity of the paper profile (1) corresponds in at least one bending direction to the flexural rigidity of one of the rigid paper rods (3).
