An information processing apparatus includes a presentation processing unit. The presentation processing unit executes, when a specific sound is generated at another point other than one of a plurality of points, presentation processing for presentation indicating that the specific sound generated at the other point is not a sound generated at the one point. Each of the plurality of points has a telepresence apparatus constituting a telepresence system that performs bidirectional communication of images and sounds for communication between users located at the plurality of points.

A resin molding apparatus and a cleaning method of a workpiece which can prevent a workpiece from being carried into a mold die in a state where particles (dust) are adhered to the workpiece, and can prevent deterioration of molding quality. A resin molding apparatus according to the present invention, in which a workpiece with an electronic component mounted on a carrier and a mold resin are carried into a mold die, includes: a press part having the mold die for clamping and resin-sealing the workpiece and the mold resin; and a cleaning apparatus for cleaning a back surface of the workpiece conveyed to the press part, wherein the electronic component is not mounted on the back surface. The cleaning apparatus is arranged at a position overlapping a conveyance path of the workpiece on the upstream side of the press part.

A method of manufacturing a fiber-reinforced composite material which is molded by impregnating a fiber-reinforced sheet with a resin and curing the resin includes: placing the fiber-reinforced sheet in a cavity of a mold; and molding the fiber-reinforced composite material, the molding including injecting the resin into the cavity of the mold, impregnating the fiber-reinforced sheet with the resin, and curing the resin. In the molding, after fine air bubbles contained in the resin are placed at a predetermined position of the cavity, the resin is cured.

A support template for moulds for sports helmets, in particular cycling helmets, provided with at least one frame includes: at least one support portion, placed on a first side of the frame, for the support of at least one component of a helmet to be obtained by a moulding or co-moulding process, the support portion being configured to keep the respective component of the helmet to be obtained according to a predetermined position inside a respective mould; at least one centring portion placed on the first side of the frame and arranged to engage a respective centring seat made on the respective mould so as to ensure the alignment of the latter with the support template and keep the centred positioning of the component of the helmet according to a predetermined configuration; and at least one grip portion to allow manual engagement of the support template by an operator.

An information processing apparatus includes a presentation processing unit. The presentation processing unit executes, when a specific sound is generated at another point other than one of a plurality of points, presentation processing for presentation indicating that the specific sound generated at the other point is not a sound generated at the one point. Each of the plurality of points has a telepresence apparatus constituting a telepresence system that performs bidirectional communication of images and sounds for communication between users located at the plurality of points.

A process for producing a molded part from a highly filled thermosetting starting material including: introducing the starting material into a prepressing tool; producing a preform from the starting material, the starting material being brought to a prepressing temperature by the prepressing tool and being compressed with a prepressing force to form the preform; removing the preform from the prepressing tool and introducing the preform into a finish pressing tool; and producing a finished part from the preform, the preform being brought to a finish pressing temperature by the finish pressing tool and being compressed with a finish pressing force to form the finished part. Here, the prepressing temperature is lower than the finish pressing temperature and the finish pressing temperature is at least as high as an onset temperature of a curing reaction of the starting material.

A mold assembly for manufacturing a composite part with a stiffener, the mold assembly includes a bottom mold configured to form a first surface of the composite part, wherein the bottom mold has at least one elongated recess configured to form a stiffener in the composite part; a feeder unit having a shape corresponding to the at least one elongated recess, wherein the feeder unit is configured to fit at least partially into the at least one elongated recess; and a top mold configured to form a second surface of the composite part opposite to the first surface. Also a method of manufacturing a composite part using such a mold assembly, which includes draping a flat laminate over the bottom mold and pushing portions of the laminate into the at least one elongated recess.

A method of making a wind turbine blade is described. The blade comprises first (12) and second (14) half shells bonded together and a shear web (16) bonded inside the shells. Prior to joining the shells together, the shear web is positioned in one of the shells. A plurality of bars (70) are attached to the shear web and engaged with a plurality of mounts (80) in order to support and stabilise the shear web relative to that shell. The shells are then arranged one above the other whilst the bars remain attached to the shear web. The bars continue to support the shear web whilst the shear web is aligned with the other shell. The bars are then detached from the shear web and the shells are brought together to bond the shells to each other and to bond the shear web between the shells.

A device and a method for loading prefabricated parts into a molding tool of a press for the production of molded parts, in particular for the production of elastomer molded parts. For this purpose, the device comprises a plate-like carrier element with a top and a bottom intended for attachment on or to the press and a holding device for accommodating at least one interchangeable platen equipped with the parts. The holding unit is arranged on the supporting element at a clear distance from its bottom and the interchangeable platen comprises a plurality of passage openings to accommodate the parts. Furthermore, the device comprises a platen with pins which are arranged between the bottom of the supporting element and the holding unit, wherein the pins align with the passage openings.
