Disclosed herein is an apparatus for folding a side extending outward from a cup part in a battery case of a pouch-type secondary battery. The apparatus can include a body having a plate shape, adjacent to the side, and disposed to be elongated in a longitudinal direction of the secondary battery, wherein the body includes, a heating part disposed at one side thereof to heat an inner portion disposed at a relatively inner side of the side, and a pressing part disposed at the other side thereof to press an outer portion disposed at a relatively outer side of the side. When the heating part heats the inner portion, the body rotates to allow the pressing part to press the outer portion.

Provided is a culture vessel for adherent cells that has a large culture portion surface area and ensures easily dissociating and recovering cells without consuming a medium or a dissociation solution more than necessary. The bag-shaped adherent cell culture vessel made of flexible packaging material includes a vessel body portion having a first vessel wall and a second vessel wall and one or more injecting/ejecting ports. The vessel body portion has an intermediate culture wall between the first vessel wall and the second vessel wall. A culture chamber is disposed in each of between the first vessel wall and the intermediate culture wall and between the second vessel wall and the intermediate culture wall, and a flow passage communicating between the respective culture chambers is disposed.

A sealing method includes dispensing an adhesive on an edge surface of a first part, performing a first activation for hardening the adhesive to a predetermined hardness, performing a second activation for triggering appearance of adhesion strength of the adhesive, assembling the first part and a second part, and pressing the first part and the second part against each other.

A method for bonding a first member having a first bond-target surface made of cycloolefin polymer to a second member having a second bond-target surface made of metal. The method includes a process of exposing the first bond-target surface and the second bond-target surface to at least one of the H.sub.2O plasma and O.sub.2 plasma, as well as a process of combining the first bond-target surface and the second bond-target surface.

The present invention relates to the manufacturing of a bristled pad for a mouthpiece toothbrush, a bristled pad, the manufacturing of a mouthpiece toothbrush with such a bristled pad, and a mouthpiece toothbrush. The bristled pad is manufactured from a prefabricated foil and prefabricated bristles. The prefabricated bristles are attached to the prefabricated pliable foil of at most 700 μm by fusing the fixed ends of the bristles with the foil. In the method of manufacturing the mouthpiece, the bristled pad is attached to the body of the mouthpiece.

A blister pack includes a housing having a plurality of cavities and a multi-layer film sealed to the housing and enclosing the cavities, the multi-layer film including a base layer, at least one security element, and a heat protective layer. The heat protective layer is comprised of one of an amorphous polymer material or a semi-crystalline polymer material and is positioned to insulate the at least one security element from heat applied to the heat protective layer during heat sealing of the multi-layer film to the housing, the heat protective layer functioning as a heat sink for protection of the at least one security element during heat sealing of the multi-layer film to the housing.

The present invention relates to a pouch-shaped battery case sealing apparatus capable of adjusting a direction in which an upper sealing block configured to press a laminate sheet applies pressure to the laminate sheet during a process of applying heat and pressure to an outer periphery of a battery case made of the laminate sheet to seal the outer periphery of the battery case when a pouch-shaped battery is manufactured and a pouch-shaped secondary battery sealing method using the same.

A thermoplastic composite structure is produced by consolidating and forming a composite preform to a desired shape. The preform comprises plies of a high melt temperature thermoplastic prepreg that are tacked together by a low melt temperature thermoplastic adhering the plies together in fixed registration.
