A method of manufacturing a high-pressure fluid vessel includes forming a first portion of a high-pressure fluid vessel with a molding process. The high-pressure fluid vessel includes a stack of capsules. Each capsule includes a first domed end, a second domed end, and a semicylindrical portion extending between and connecting the first domed end to the second domed end. The method further includes forming a second portion of a high-pressure fluid vessel with the molding process. The second portion of the high-pressure fluid vessel is positioned adjacent to the first portion of the high-pressure fluid vessel. The second portion of the high-pressure fluid vessel is welded to the first portion of the high-pressure fluid vessel.

The present invention is directed to a novel method for application of polymer thermofoil to a metal substrate. The method involves first coating a metal substrate with an oxidation-preventing or oxidation-limiting coating, then adhering a polymer thermofoil to the metal substrate. After application of the thermofoil, the metal substrate can be formed to the final shape. The method is advantageous in that it allows one to efficiently manufacture metal objects in a variety of aesthetically pleasing surface finishes.

An article includes a thermoplastic resin, a metal-resin composite particle, and a pore and a method of manufacturing the article. The metal-resin composite particle includes a metal deposition layer, a first coating layer positioned on one side of the metal deposition layer, and a second coating layer positioned on the other side of the metal deposition layer, and the first and second layers include a thermosetting resin respectively.

A molding process for shoes with inner lining comprises: placing a molding inner core sleeved with an inner lining in a combined external mold being preset with a semi-molded shell; performing a mold-closing action to make the semi-molded shell in the first external mold and the second external mold attach to the inner lining, respectively; and heating to vulcanize the semi-molded shell, and combining with the inner lining to produce a shoe with inner lining.

A method of forming a decorative article comprising placing a decorative cover sheet comprising an untextured skin layer, a cushion foam layer and an adhesive layer in a mold space between a front mold half and a rear mold half, placing a substrate on the rear mold half, heating a textured front mold surface and the skin layer with a first heater arrangement between the front mold half and the cover sheet, heating the cover sheet and the substrate with a second heater arrangement between the cover sheet and the rear mold half, forming the skin layer of the decorative cover sheet into contact with the textured front mold surface, forming into the skin layer a textured surface from the textured front mold surface, pressing the substrate against the adhesive layer of the decorative cover sheet, and bonding the cover sheet to the substrate with the adhesive layer.

A hydrogen tank body includes a base layer formed of a synthetic resin selected from the group consisting of silicon resin, polyphenylene sulfide, polybutylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polyethylene, and polycarbonate, and a liner layer formed of hydrogen impermeable resin, on an inside wall surface of the base layer.

A tubular support member located in a distal portion of an elongate flexible medical device is provided with a plurality of wall openings, e.g., axially-spaced, substantially transverse slots, formed therein to thereby increase a flexibility of the support member. A layer of sealing material overlays an outer surface the support member so as to provide a sealed portion of the support member including the wall openings, the sealing material having respective flexible invaginations formed therein overlaying the wall openings in the support member so that the sealing material does not substantially impede flexibility of the support member.

Prosthetics created in layers, and methods of making them, comprising one or more materials. The methods utilize a clay sculpture from which is made a negative impression cast in silicone, which is used to cast a durable positive prosthetic, which is used to create either durable or temporary negative production impressions into which the layers can be built to form the finished prosthetic.
