The invention further relates to a method (100) by means of which the device-address-free delivery is implemented. The invention further relates to a computer program product (80) suitable therefor, to a command and reporting system (50) in which the invention is implemented, and to an automation system (60) equipped with a corresponding command and reporting system (50).

Provided is a reactivatable tile bonding mat installable without cement-based thinset. The reactivatable tile bonding mat may include a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface and the bottom surface include a polymer hot-melt material. The polymer hot-melt material can be reactivatable by heating. The polymer hot-melt material can be adhesive with regard to a surface of at least one of concrete, wood, stone, tile and vinyl. The polymer hot-melt material creates bonding to the surface upon being heated to a pre-determined temperature. The polymer hot-melt material can be heated by convection heating. The polymer hot-melt material comprises a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and a filler. The filler can include at least one of calcium carbonate, aragonite, silica, metal flake, and glass. The PET and the filler are mixed in a pre-determined proportion to obtain a polymer hot-melt material having a pre-determined melting temperature.

Exemplary methods for installing tile using a reactivatable tile bonding mat is disclosed. The reactivatable tile bonding mat is placed upon a substantially flat surface. Stone, porcelain or ceramic tile is placed and arranged on the reactivatable tile bonding mat in an aesthetically pleasing fashion, in some cases aided by the use of spacers in the joints between the sides of the tiles. Induction, or some other method of heat, is applied to the upper surfaces of the tiles, to quickly transfer through the tile, causing a polymer hot-melt material embedded in the reactivatable tile bonding mat to melt and adhere to a lower surface of the tiles, forming a strong bond. Upon the tiles fully bonding to the reactivatable tile bonding mat, spacers may be removed and a suitable grout may be applied in the joints between the sides of the tiles.

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a vehicle knuckle is provided. The vehicle knuckle according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise a knuckle body provided with a wheel bearing installation hole configured to install a wheel bearing, and flanges extending from the knuckle body and used to connect the vehicle knuckle to other parts of a vehicle. The knuckle body and the flanges may be integrally formed of carbon chip materials.

The present description relates to in-plane isotropic products derived from cellulosic filament based compositions that are substantially free of binders; and comprising inorganic fillers with an average particle size of less than 5 m; and methods for producing these in-plane isotropic products. The method comprising providing a cellulosic filament substantially free of any binder; providing an inorganic filler comprising an average particle size of less than 5 m; mixing the cellulosic filament and the filler to produce a slurry; transferring the slurry in a preforming jig to produce a wet mat in the jig; and hot press compression molding the mat to produce the in-plane isotropic product. The inorganic fillers were uniquely shown substantially useful to accelerate the final dewatering (drying) in the hot press at 150 C./250 psi and to eliminate delamination issue insitu the molded products. Furthermore, the hot press molded products were remarkably improved with respect to the surface quality and the dimensional stability with outstanding increase in its tensile, flexural and impact properties, all with respect to the cellulosic filament inorganic filler-free molded products.

In a gear comprising a resin material including a fibrous filler, a plurality of teeth formed at equal angular intervals are provided to a first outer peripheral part. When the gear is manufactured, the resin material is filled from a specific portion (first toothless part) which faces in a direction orthogonal to a center axis line, and in which the teeth are not formed in a portion that overlaps the first outer peripheral part when seen from the direction orthogonal to the center axis line. Therefore, there is a gate mark in the specific portion. Between the specific portion and the center axis line, the degree to which the filler is oriented in a direction intersecting the center axis line is higher than the degree to which the filler is oriented in a direction running along the center axis line.

A composite material comprising 20-98 wt. % of a synthetic particulate or fibrous filler and at least 2 wt. % of a polyester derived from an aliphatic polyalcohol with 2-15 carbon atoms and a polyacid, wherein the alcohol comprises at least 50 mole % of glycerol, and the acid comprises at least 50 wt. % of tricarboxylic acid. Preferably, the filler is in the form of particles, fibers, and/or random or non-random layers. Preferably, the filler is based on one or more of ceramic, including glass, in particular glass fibers, polymer, in particular polymer fibers, and carbon, in particular carbon fibers. The use of glass fiber based sheet-like material as filler is a particular embodiment of the invention. The composite material according to the invention has fire-retardant properties, which makes it particularly suitable for applications where fire-retardancy is an issue.
