A polymer geo-injection apparatus for protecting an underground structure is provided. The apparatus includes: a mechanized vehicle for moving on the ground in order to transport the apparatus while the apparatus forms a subsurface polymer layer that protects the underground structure; a polymer supply tank coupled to the mechanized vehicle and configured to supply solid polymer during the forming of the polymer layer; a polymer melting unit coupled to the mechanized vehicle and configured to receive and melt the supplied solid polymer and to supply the molten polymer during the forming of the polymer layer; and a subsurface ripper coupled to the mechanized vehicle and configured to move through the ground in response to the movement of the mechanized vehicle while receiving and injecting the supplied molten polymer into the ground above the underground structure in order to form the polymer layer and protect the underground structure.

A tool for applying tint film to an inside window surface of an automobile has a unitary body with a handle portion and a downwardly depending neck extending from the handle portion to an elongate blade supporting portion. The blade supporting portion includes a bottom zone extending to a chamfered distal end. A flexible blade is attached to the bottom zone and the distal end of the blade supporting portion. The flexible blade includes a forwardmost portion that extends beyond the distal end of the blade supporting portion.

A system for using an augmented reality (AR) enabled mobile computing device for performing one-touch registration of three-dimensional (3D) scans of an environment is provided. The system includes one or more processors, a mobile computing device, and a 3D scanner being movable from a first position to a second position. The processors are responsive to executable instructions which cause the 3D scanner at the first and second positions to determine 3D coordinates of a first and second collection of points on object surfaces in the environment. In addition, the 3D scanner receives an estimated location of the mobile computing device from the mobile device in response to the 3D scanner being in contact with the mobile computing device at the first and second locations. A registration of the first collection of points and the second collection of points is based on the estimated locations of the mobile computing device.

A resin film-laminated metal sheet includes a metal sheet and thermoplastic resin films that are fused to both surfaces of the metal sheet, the metal sheet is a steel sheet having a thickness of 0.08 mm or more or an aluminum sheet having a thickness of 0.15 mm or more, and, when a surface of the thermoplastic resin film opposite to a surface that is fused to the metal sheet is defined as a first surface, the surface tension on the first surface in at least one of the thermoplastic resin films is 50 mN/m or less, the surface tension on the surface that is fused to the metal sheet is 36 mN/m or more, and the amount of a wax attached to the first surface is more than 0 mg/m.sup.2 and 5.00 mg/m.sup.2 or less.

The aim of the invention is to further develop conventional devices for stretching and/or shaping and/or applying a lamination of a film element. This aim is achieved, according to the invention, by a device for stretching and/or shaping and/or applying a lamination of a film element, which device comprises a support frame for gripping the film element relative to a shaping tool or to a component to be laminated, and having grippers for gripping the film element, which are mounted so as to be movable relative to the support frame, said device being characterized in that grippers are arranged in a multi-axially adjustable manner relative to the support frame in order to adapt the film element more precisely to a contour of the shaping tool or of the component to be laminated.

A bonding device and a bonding method for an irregular-shaped curved cover plate and a flexible screen are disclosed. The bonding device includes: a support body supporting the flexible screen; and a bonding body supporting the flexible screen together with the support body and pressing the flexible screen. The bonding body has a cylindrical shape. A cross-sectional shape of the bonding body along an axial direction matches with a cross-sectional shape of the irregular-shaped curved cover plate. The support body is located at a radial end of the bonding body. The bonding body can be expanded along the axial direction, to have opposite sides thereof abutted against the arc hook areas.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to envelopes for aerial vehicle. The aerial vehicle may include an envelope including a plurality of gores. The aerial vehicle may also include a seal arranged between a pair of the plurality of gores, the seal including six layers of envelope material heat-sealed together.
