The present application relates to a pattern forming method for quartz surface and a pattern forming device for quartz surface. According to the pattern forming method for quartz surface of the present application, by comprising a step of forming a pattern and a step of forming a color, it is possible to freely express the color on the pattern simultaneously along with forming the pattern on the quartz surface. And, in addition to these steps, by optionally comprising a step of additionally forming a pattern, it is possible to freely form a desired pattern on the quartz surface, and, by adding long line type patterns on the quartz surface unlike existing conventional quartz surfaces, it is possible to produce the quartz surface showing patterns and textures which are more natural and close to natural stone.

A method for producing microencapsulated fuel pebble fuel more rapidly and with a matrix that engenders added safety attributes. The method includes coating fuel particles with ceramic powder; placing the coated fuel particles in a first die; applying a first current and a first pressure to the first die so as to form a fuel pebble by direct current sintering. The method may further include removing the fuel pebble from the first die and placing the fuel pebble within a bed of non-fueled matrix ceramic in a second die; and applying a second current and a second pressure to the second die so as to form a composite fuel pebble.

A mold system for a modular telescoping barrier and method of construction provides barriers arranged in a telescoping configuration with tight tolerances. The barriers are constructed with an inner and outer mold subassembly, separated by a gap. A shape-adapted funnel pours mold filling into gap between mold subassemblies. When mold filling dries, the mold subassemblies are removed to access a barrier. Barriers are nested with other barriers having incrementally larger or smaller perimeters to achieve telescoping configuration. A base barrier with a support flange supports multiple barriers. The inner and outer subassemblies are made up of individual panels fitted together end to end, and at corners in a tight relationship. Reinforcing structures abut the panels to prevent panels from bulging. The narrow end of the funnels includes clamps that press inwardly on the panels to prevent bulging. A level and an agitating mechanism enable mold filling to be poured uniformly.

Presented and described is a method for manufacturing concrete elements having at least one concrete layer, wherein concrete for at least one element is introduced into a mould, the concrete is compacted by vibration and/or by tamping and subsequently cures, wherein to the concrete layer, prior to compaction, at least one portion of a granular material is applied by means of an application device, where the concrete introduced into the mould has a water/binder (w/b) ratio of 0.30 to 0.50 prior to curing and where as granular material a material is used comprising (a) a scatter component having an average particle diameter of 0.1 to 5 mm in an amount of 65 to 95 wt % and (b) binder in an amount of 5 to 35 wt %, based in each case on the overall composition of the granular material.
