A process of constructing an air tight and water tight seam, comprising cutting a sheet of selected material into two or more panels, sealing the panels at respective selected edges using an ultrasonic machine to form a seam, overlaying the seam with a tape made of the same selected material, and sealing the tape and seam using a radio frequency (RF) welding machine.

A generator injection tool is provided. The generator injection tool injects an adhesive into a generator that includes a rotor positioned within a stator having a stator vent, the stator and rotor having a gap therebetween. The generator injection tool includes a first carriage sized to fit within the gap, a tube, a first motor, a controller, and an adhesive source. An end of the tube is movable between a first position in which the end is outside of the stator vent and a second position within the stator vent. The first motor is operable to move the tube between the first position and the second position. The controller is operable to selectively activate the first motor to position the end of the tube within the stator vent. The adhesive source moves the adhesive through the tube end to inject a portion of the adhesive into the stator vent.

The present invention provides a method for producing a joined body, the method including: disposing a joining member between a member A containing a thermoplastic resin and a member B containing a thermoplastic resin, the joining member including a sheet part containing a thermoplastic resin, and a plurality of protrusion parts integrally formed with the sheet part on at least one surface of the sheet part, the protrusion parts containing a thermoplastic resin; and melting at least a part of the joining member to join the member A and the member B to obtain a joined body thereof.

A device for fastening a measuring apparatus on pipes, in particular a butt weld seam checking measuring apparatus, containing a housing for accommodating the measuring, control, and/or drive units and a clamp, wherein the clamp is designed as a ring segment, wherein the clamp is attached in the radial direction over a pipe external diameter, wherein the clamp has a pre-tension in the installed state.

A composite molded article contains a metal molded article and a resin molded article, which are bonded to each other, in which the metal molded article has a roughened bonding surface, a surface layer portion of the metal molded article including the roughened bonding surface has: open holes containing: a stem hole that is formed in a thickness direction and has an opening on the side of the bonding surface, and a branch hole that is formed from an inner wall of the stem hole in a different direction from the stem hole, and the composite molded article is bonded in such a state that the resin permeates into the open holes formed on the bonding surface of the metal molded article.

A pipe elbow has a first end and a second end off parallel to the first end. An interior surface of the pipe elbow has a centerline having an arcuate portion. A circular cylindrical exterior surface portion of the pipe elbow surrounds the arcuate portion of the centerline.

The disclosure relates to a component device, in particular for a primary supporting component of an aircraft, the component device having a first component element, a second component element, a bonding providing a connection between the first component element and the second component element, and a detector device having at least one interior space sensor device configured to measure a change in a pressure and/or a concentration of a gas surrounding the interior space sensor device. The first component element, the second component element, and the bonding confine an interior space. The interior space sensor device is arranged in the interior space.

A method for assembling a shear web assembly of a wind turbine includes providing at least one spar cap. The method also includes forming a spar connecting member of a thermoplastic material via additive manufacturing. Further, the method includes securing the spar connecting member to the spar cap. Moreover, the method includes providing a shear web, forming a web connecting member of a thermoplastic material via additive manufacturing, and securing the web connecting member at a first end of the shear web. In addition, the method includes interconnecting the web connecting member and the spar connecting member at a joint. Thus, the method further includes heating the joint to secure the web connecting member and the spar connecting member together.

A cell culture device comprises a cell culture membrane and a substrate fixed to the cell culture membrane. The cell culture membrane is made from a thermosetting resin and has a plurality of pores that are open to at least one surface including a surface on a side that is in contact with the substrate. The substrate is made from a thermoplastic resin. In a contact region between the cell culture membrane and the substrate, part of the substrate is extended to form bulges in the pores of the cell culture membrane that are open in the contact region. This configuration suppresses reduction of the strength of the cell culture membrane and reduction of the flatness of the cell culture membrane (membrane accuracy) in the cell culture device in which the cell culture membrane and the substrate are fixed to each other.
