A tape attaching machine for attaching an adhesive tape to a frame and a wafer and cutting the adhesive tape along the frame is provided. The tape attaching machine includes a tape winding unit configured to wind a remaining part of the adhesive tape left after cutting the adhesive tape, the remaining part of the adhesive tape being not attached to the frame and the wafer. The tape winding unit includes a main shaft like a roller and a pair of jigs detachably mounted on the opposite ends of the main shaft. Each of the jigs is engageable with the main shaft so as to have a tape contact area around which the remaining part of the adhesive tape is adapted to be wound and a grip area formed axially outside the tape contact area and adapted to be gripped by an operator.

The invention relates to a device for the preferably continuous welding of plastic films by means of hot gas with at least one tubular body through which an electric current flows for the heating of the hot gas, wherein the device comprises at least one gas inlet opening (6, 106) and a plurality of gas outlet openings (12, 112) arranged next to each other, from which hot gas is blown onto the plastic film. It is provided that the at least one gas inlet opening (6, 106) is provided on a main tubular body (4, 104), which stands in gas communication with a plurality of branch tubular bodies (8, 108) at branching points (10, 110), wherein the branch tubular bodies (8, 108) each have at least one gas outlet opening (12, 112) and all the branch tubular bodies (8, 108) have electric current flowing through them.

A method of forming an electrorheological fluid structure with attached conductor and method of fabrication. A polymeric housing may have a channel defined therein. A first conductive trace may at least partially coincide with the channel. A first wire may have a first conductor surrounded by a first insulating jacket. The first conductor may be in electrical communication with the first conductive trace. A jacket bonding region of the first jacket may be welded to a housing bonding region of the housing. The jacket bonding region and the housing bonding region may be formed from a common type of polymer.

A heat shrink tubing, which can be readily peeled in the longitudinal direction after use (e.g., to remove the heat shrink tubing from an underlying material) is provided herein. The heat shrink tubing can be of various compositions, and generally is produced from at least one fluorinated, copolyrneric resin. The tubing can exhibit desirable physical properties such as good optical clarity (e.g., translucency or transparency) and/or peelability, exhibiting one or more of complete, straight, and even peeling along a given length of tubing.

A system for a footwear sole component to control an incline in between a footbed and an outsole. An incline adjuster is positioned between the footbed and the outsole. The incline adjuster has a polymeric housing having a first fluid chamber, a second fluid chamber, and a fluid transfer channel; a controller having a processor, a memory, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), and a low energy wireless communication module. The controller determines whether forces from a wearer foot on the first fluid chamber and on the second fluid chamber are creating a pressure within the first fluid chamber that is higher than a pressure within the second fluid chamber, or vice versa.

Disclosed is a completely recyclable artificial turf, which solves the problem of difficult totting of the existing artificial turf, has high tufting efficiency, has high strength of artificial turf, and is capable of being integrally recycled. The completely recyclable artificial turf of the present invention comprises artificial yarn and base fabric, wherein the base fabric includes woven fabric, the artificial yarn is tufted on the base fabric including woven fabric, the root of the artificial yarn is melted or locally melted, and the artificial yarn is integrated with the base fabric into a whole after cooling and shaping, wherein the material of the artificial yarn has a melting point lower than that of the material of the base fabric.

The present disclosure generally relates to methods and apparatuses for secondary material deposition and insert deposition during additive manufacturing (AM) processes. Such methods and apparatuses can be used to embed chemical signatures into manufactured objects, and such embedded chemical signatures may find use in anti-counterfeiting operations and in manufacture of objects with multiple materials.
