Provided is a manufacturing method of a sheet-through image reading apparatus, including a first step of preparing a contact glass, a second step of bonding, after the first step, a heat-resistant and insulative sheet-shaped material to a predetermined position on a major surface of the contact glass, as a transport guide member, a third step of executing plasma processing on the major surface of the contact glass after the second step, a fourth step of executing a fluorine coating on the major surface of the contact glass after the third step, a fifth step of sintering the contact glass after the fourth step, and a sixth step of fixing the contact glass to a casing of the image reading apparatus, after the fifth step.

Apparatuses and methods for removing support material from and/or smoothing surfaces of an additive-manufactured part are disclosed. Apparatuses may include a spraying chamber, a support surface within the spraying chamber, and one or more nozzles having the ability to spray a fluid at the additive-manufactured parts. The fluid may include a liquid and solid particles carried by the liquid. The support surface may have the ability to support the additive manufactured part. The apparatus may include a tank having the ability to hold at least some of the fluid. A heater may be included for heating the fluid to a desired temperature.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical dosage forms, for example to a tamper resistant dosage form including an opioid analgesic, and processes of manufacture, uses, and methods of treatment thereof.

The invention relates to a method for producing a part using a deposition technique. A layered composite is built up in layers, the individual layers each containing particulate material and binding material as well as optionally, a treatment agent. The layers maintain a predetermined porosity. The layer composite is built up in the absence of hardening agent. Once construction is complete, the layer composite is hardened.

The present invention provides, in one aspect, a method for producing a molded article, the method comprising exposing a molded article precursor comprising a protein to an environment with a relative humidity of 90% or more to obtain the molded article.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical dosage forms, for example to a tamper resistant dosage form including an opioid analgesic, and processes of manufacture, uses, and methods of treatment thereof.

A device and method for smoothing a surface of an article formed at least partially from plastic, in particular a component of a motor vehicle, is provided. The method includes arranging the article in a vacuum-tight chamber, reducing the pressure in the chamber to a partial vacuum of not more than 50 kPa, in particular not more than 34 kPa, and admitting acetone into the chamber. Some of the acetone is vaporized and the vapor is precipitated on the surface of the article. In one form, the precipitated vapor acts on the article for at least 1 minute. The method further includes opening the chamber, so that at least the ambient pressure prevails in the chamber and removing the article from the chamber.

A method of producing a molding product including a non-design surface and a design surface including a leather textured surface and adjacent to the non-design surface includes: injecting molten plastic into a forming cavity of a molding tool including a first forming surface to form the non-design surface and a second forming surface to form the design surface; and blowing air toward a boundary between the non-design surface and the first forming surface until a gap is created between the non-design surface and the first forming surface and toward a boundary between the design surface and the second forming surface via a hole formed in the first forming surface until a gap is created between the design surface and the second forming surface after the injecting of the molten plastic.
