A filled self-cured dental material is described comprising inorganic boron nitride and/or zirconia particles in a solvent dispersion agent, the nanoparticles being entrained by an ultrasonic homogenizer technique to enhance both strength and stiffness of the dental material.

A shaping system comprises a dispensing station configured to dispense formable material on a substrate, a shaping station configured to contact the dispensed formable material on the substrate with a plate, a positioning system configured to move the substrate having the dispensed formable material from the dispensing system to the shaping station, and a cover having one or more walls. While the substrate having the dispensed formable material is moved by the positioning system from the dispensing station to the shaping station, the cover is positioned to enclose the substrate and the dispensed formable material such that a ratio of a diameter of the substrate to a distance between the cover and the substrate to 80:1 to 30:1.

A press base may include a piston cavity formed in the press base and a piston cavity sleeve positioned in the piston cavity. The piston cavity sleeve may include a wall having an outer surface and an inner surface opposite the outer surface. The piston cavity sleeve may further include a floor having an upper surface and a lower surface opposite the upper surface. An outer radius may be formed at a juncture of the outer surface of the wall and lower surface of the floor and an inner radius may be formed at a juncture of the inner surface of the wall and upper surface of the floor. The inner radius may exhibit a radius of curvature that is greater than a radius of curvature of the outer radius.

A method for removing vapors generated by a processing device presenting reduced risk to human handlers includes placing a vapor removing device in a feed area of the processing device. The vapor removing device includes a connecting plate and at least one vapor removing element each connected to one surface of the connecting plate. The vapor removing device is lifted robotically from the feed area and placed into the processing device. Then, the vapor removing element directly removes vapors generated by the processing device when the processing device starts to work, the device being robotically taken out of the processing device and placed back in the feed area.

Provided is a method for manufacturing a fiber reinforced plastic molded body, the method including: performing thermocompression molding, by using a molding die, on a molding precursor which is obtained by arranging a prepreg including a thermosetting resin and a fiber around a thermoplastic solid body.

A core-shell microneedle system and a method of manufacturing the microneedle system provides a pulsatile drug delivery system which is programmed to release drugs/vaccines at predictable times using biodegradable polymers and with controllable dosages. This microneedle system can be fully embedded into the skin and then release drugs/vaccines as sharp bursts in a timely manner, similar to multiple bolus injections.

The invention relates to a method for producing a dry film (3), wherein a dry powder mixture is processed into the dry film (3) by a rolling device comprising a first roller (2a) and a second roller (2b). The first roller (2a) has a higher circumferential rotational speed than the second roller (2b), and the dry film (3) is placed on the first roller (2a).

A compression molding device, which can obtain a high compression molding force without lowering the efficiency of article production, and whose molding means has a long service life, is provided. In the compression molding device, a one-side mold assembly moving means (58) includes a toggle link mechanism including two links (62) and (64), and a toggle link mechanism operating means (60), while an opposite-side mold assembly moving means (108) includes a hydraulic cylinder mechanism. When a one-side mold assembly (16) and an opposite-side mold assembly (18) are to be brought from an open state into a closed state, the one-side mold assembly (16) is first moved to a nearly closed state by the one-side mold assembly moving means (58), and then the opposite-side mold assembly (18) is moved from the nearly closed state to the closed state by the opposite-side mold assembly moving means (108).

A method for producing a composite material molded article, including laminating a fibrous filler on a mold; pressure-reducing inside an airproof space, the airproof space being formed with the mold laminated with the fibrous filler and an airproof film covering thereon; and impregnating a resin material in the fibrous filler, the formation of the airproof space including bonding the mold and the airproof film with a seal material containing a (meth)acrylic polymer as an adhesive. The composite resin molded article obtained by the method of the present invention can be suitably used in fields in which composite materials of fibrous fillers such as glass fibers and carbon fibers are generally used, for example, housings, structural members, and the like for moving objects or movable objects.
