A method of installing a heat shrink cover around a component includes providing the heat shrink cover having an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve, the inner sleeve is a heat shrink sleeve, and attaching an electrical heating system to an outer surface of the outer sleeve. The inner sleeve and the outer sleeve are arranged around the component, with the outer sleeve at least partially encompassing the inner sleeve. The electrical heating system is energized to heat-recover the inner sleeve.

An improved method of edge modification such as edge banding comprising placing a roller in contact with an edge and measuring a first position of the roller. Subsequently moving the contact roller along the edge to a second position and measuring the second position before calculating a desired force direction from the first and second position measurements, applying a force via the pressure roller in the desired force direction.

An automatic attaching 3D tempered glass screen protector attaching machine, comprising an identification device, wherein the identification device comprises: a processor, a camera and a memory; the camera is configured to collect a front picture and a back picture of the mobile phone; the processor is configured to identify the back picture to determine the brand of the mobile phone, and identify the front picture to determine the model of the mobile phone; and further determine the category of the screen protector according to the brand and model of the mobile phone, and send the category to the attaching mechanism to complete attaching the screen protector.

An apparatus for pressing a multi-layered skateboard deck having a variation in thickness is provided. The apparatus includes a mold assembly, a first liner, and a second liner. The mold assembly includes a first mold having a first surface and a second mold having a second surface. The first surface and the second surface are configured to collectively define a mold cavity configured to receive the multi-layered skateboard deck. The first liner is disposed adjacent to the first surface and the second liner is disposed adjacent to the second surface. The mold assembly is configured to apply a load when the multi-layered skateboard deck is disposed in the mold cavity. At least one of the first liner or the second liner is configured to deform in response to the applied load such that the multi-layered skateboard deck is compressed with a substantially uniform pressure.

This disclosure relates generally to corrugated pipe, and more particularly to corrugated pipe with an outer wrap. In one embodiment, a pipe includes an axially extended bore defined by a corrugated outer wall having axially adjacent, outwardly-extending corrugation crests, separated by corrugation valleys. The pipe also includes an outer wrap applied to the outer wall. The outer wrap may include fibers and plastic. The outer wrap may span the corrugation crests producing a smooth outer surface.

The present invention provides a pipe-making apparatus and a pipe-making method capable of making a spiral pipe variably adjusting a diameter or a perimeter of the pipe without an inner periphery limiter. An edge 94 of a following strip portion 92 of a strip member 90 is fitted with a corresponding edge 93 of a preceding pipe portion 91 preceding by one turn by a pipe-making part 3a of a pipe-making apparatus 3, the following strip portion 92 following the preceding pipe portion 91 precedingly made into the spiral pipe, the following strip portion not yet made into the pipe. The pipe-making apparatus 3a is propelled along a spiral winding direction accompanying the fitting. A position 9q of the fitting is variably adjusted by a fitting height adjuster such as an operating lever 30 in a machine height direction HD or a pipe inside-outside direction VD.

A method of installing a liner assembly for pipeline repair or reinforcement includes: pulling a prepared liner assembly into position in the pipeline, the liner assembly including an outer tubular liner and an inner inflatable bladder positioned longitudinally within the tubular liner, the tubular liner being wetted with a curable compound; introducing fluid into the inflatable bladder so that the inflatable bladder expands to bring the tubular liner into firm contact with an interior surface of the pipeline; flowing the fluid continuously through the bladder and discharging the fluid into the pipeline, while maintaining the liner assembly in an inflated condition for a time period sufficient for the tubular liner to cure; and deflating the inflatable bladder and retrieving at least a portion of the liner assembly from the pipeline.

An automatic attaching 3D tempered glass screen protector attaching machine, comprising an identification device, wherein the identification device comprises: a processor, a camera and a memory; the camera is configured to collect a front picture and a back picture of the mobile phone; the processor is configured to identify the back picture to determine the brand of the mobile phone, and identify the front picture to determine the model of the mobile phone; and further determine the category of the screen protector according to the brand and model of the mobile phone, and send the category to the attaching mechanism to complete attaching the screen protector.

It is possible to prevent a tip portion of a guide portion in a spiral pipe-forming apparatus allowing an inner periphery restriction body to be omitted from colliding a peripheral surface portion of a non-circular existing pipe. A non-circular guide portion (73) is provided so as to be rotatable with respect to an apparatus frame (3a) around a rotary axis (32). The guide portion (73) is applied to a peripheral surface of a preceding spiral pipe portion (91). An acting portion (41) acts such that the guide portion (73) follows the peripheral surface of the existing pipe (1).

Both diameter expansion and contraction control and fitting stabilization are achieved at the same time in a pipe end release-type pipe-forming apparatus having a non-inner periphery restriction structure. A driving part (10) provided in an apparatus frame (30) of a pipe-forming apparatus (3N) presses an unformed following strip portion (92) of the strip member (90). A reverse side guide portion (83) is engaged with a pipe end portion (91e) of a preceding spiral pipe portion (91) from a reverse side. A face side guide portion (82) is engaged with the pipe end portion (91e) from a face side. The face side guide portion (82) is shifted to the propulsion rear side beyond the reverse side guide portion (83). The following strip portion (92) is extruded from the driving part (10) toward an inter-guide clearance (84) between the reverse side guide portion (83) and the face side guide portion (82). Preferably, the driving part (10) is position-adjustably attached to the guide portions (83), (82) or the apparatus frame (30) via a position adjustment mechanism (31a).
