The invention relates to a method for coding a dimensionally stable packaging container or an associated component made of a plastics-based and/or paper-based material composition, the packaging container being suitable for storing consumer goods such as food, washing agents, etc., wherein, during a shape-forming process for forming the three-dimensional packaging container or the associated component by means of a shaping tool mold, at least one outer and/or inner side undergoes, in at least one position, a shape-changing treatment acting on its first surface in order to produce at least one three-dimensional code.

A polymeric article includes a body and encoded visual indicia formed on the body. The encoded visual indicia may be scanned to generate instructions. A method of providing the polymeric article includes applying polymeric materials to a mold to provide an article-blank web having formed therein an article preform of a desired shape with encoded visual indicia formed in the article preform.

A tire cure mold has a tread molding face that comes in contact with a tread face of a tire set in a cavity, a protruding portion for foaming a groove portion and protruding inward in a tire diametrical direction from the tread molding face, a depression for foaming a groove bottom projection and formed by recessing a top face of the protruding portion, a first vent hole open in the tread molding face, a second vent hole open in a bottom face of the depression, and a spring vent mounted in the second vent hole.

According to a production method of a power transmission belt, a shaped structure having a cylindrical shape is placed radially inward of belt mold having a cylindrical shape. The shaped structure is provided on a mandrel and has a plurality of ridges arranged adjacent to one another in an axial direction of the shaped structure. The belt mold has a plurality of compression layer-shape grooves arranged adjacent to one another in an axial direction of the belt mold. The shaped structure is crosslinked by heating and pressing the shaped structure toward the mandrel while each of compression layer-forming portions, which are comprised of the plurality of ridges of the shaped structure, is fitted in an associated one of the compression layer-shape grooves of the belt mold, thereby molding a cylindrical belt slab.

A production method of a V-belt uses a belt mold having a plurality of compression layer-shape grooves arranged adjacent to one another in a groove width direction. A shaped structure having a plurality of ridges on an outer peripheral surface is crosslinked and combined with a fabric material to form a belt slab, while the compression layer-forming portions, which are the ridges covered with the fabric material, being fitted in the respective compression layer-shape grooves of the belt mold. The belt slab is cut into ring-shaped pieces such that one ring-shaped piece corresponds to one compression layer-forming portion.

A fiber-reinforced resin shaped product includes: reinforcing fibers with a weight average fiber length of 100 mm or less; and a thermoplastic resin. The fiber-reinforced resin shaped product has grains on at least a part of a surface thereof. A maximum height (Rz) of the grains is 100 m to 200 m, and an average pitch (Rsm) between adjacent grains is 1100 m or less.

The present disclosure provides a transferring method and a repeatable transferring method. The transferring method includes steps of: performing surface modification treatment on a transferring surface of a transfer mold to reduce surface free energy of the transferring surface; forming a liquid material layer on the transferring surface after the surface modification treatment; curing the liquid material layer to form a solid material layer; and releasing the solid material layer from the transfer mold.

A variable textured breast implant can be formed using a mandrel and a shield device. The shield device can receiving a stem and posterior section of the mandrel to provide a seal between a base engaging surface of the shield device and a posterior section of the mandrel such that multiple layers of elastomer and texturing particles can be applied to the mandrel and the shield device to form texture layers along only an anterior region of an elastomeric shell. Thereafter, the texture layers of the shell can be partially cured and the texturing particles can be removed from the texture layers to form a first textured surface on the anterior region of the shell. The first textured surface can thus define interconnected pores that extend at least about two to about five pore diameters deep into the shell outer surface.

Various embodiments of the present invention relate to plastic surfaces having surface structures and methods of making the same. In various embodiments, the present invention provides a method of forming surface structures on a plastic. The method can include contacting a flowable resin composition to a surface of a metal form including surface structures on the contacted surface thereof, the surface structures having at least one dimension approximately parallel to the metal surface of about 100 nm to about 1 mm, to provide a solid plastic including corresponding surface structures on a surface thereof.

The method of manufacturing kinesio brace includes steps of: preparing an elastic body which is tube-shaped to have a first face inside and a second face outside, the elastic body defining an axial direction; inserting an inner mold into the elastic body so that the first face faces to the inner mold; placing the inner mold with the elastic body into an outer mold and closing the outer mold, the outer mold being formed with at least one groove on an inner surface thereof; injecting a plastic material into the groove to shape into a plastic layer which is engaged with the second face of the elastic body; removing the outer mold and the inner mold from the elastic body to provide a kinesio brace.
