A precast composite wall structure and method for forming the wall structure are disclosed. The method includes providing a casting bed defining a plurality of shapes corresponding to a three-dimensional outer surface of a wall structure, placing a first layer of uncured concrete to conform to the shapes defined by the lower surface, positioning a forming member in overlying relation above the frame, the forming member defining a plurality of rectangular-shaped channels therebetween, positioning a stud frame within the casting bed along the forming member, placing a second layer of uncured concrete within the casting bed to conform to the rectangular-shaped channels between the rectangular protrusions, and allowing the concrete to cure.

A laser processing method includes: marking multiple concaves on a surface of a preform before blow molding.

A production method of a modeled object includes a fixing step of fixing a thermally expandable sheet onto a tray by entirely or partially fixing a periphery of the thermally expandable sheet placed on the tray by a fixing member; a thermally expanding step of thermally expanding partially the thermally expandable sheet, which is in a state of being fixed onto the tray by the fixing step, by being heated by irradiating the thermally expandable sheet with light by an irradiation unit, while moving the irradiation unit from a first position toward a second position unit; and cooling the thermally expandable sheet, which has been thermally expanded partially by the thermally expanding step, while maintaining the state in which the thermally expandable sheet is fixed onto the tray, while returning the irradiation unit from the second position to the first position.

In a production system 100, containers have hollow main bodies 1a having openings at their top parts and caps 1b for closing the openings. The production system 100 includes a conveyor line L for conveying the containers 1, a capper 5 for attaching the caps 1b to the main bodies 1a of the containers 1 on the conveyor line L, a reading apparatus 18 configured to read first information attached to top surfaces of the caps 1b of the containers 1 for identifying the containers 1 on the conveyor line L at one or more predetermined points after the capper 5, and a memory apparatus 52 configured to store linked together the first information of the containers 1, second information attached to the main bodies 1a of the containers 1 for identifying the main bodies 1a, and times at which the containers 1 passed the one or more predetermined points.

A laser processing apparatus includes: a conveyor to convey a container containing a content in a container body in a conveying direction at a predetermined conveying speed; and a light emitter to emit laser light to a predetermined processing region in the container body conveyed in the conveying direction by the conveyor. A frequency of a vibration of the container body conveyed, in which an amplitude of the vibration of the container body is maximized, is v/L or less, where v is the predetermined conveying speed, and L is a length of the predetermined processing region in the conveying direction.

A three-dimensional object manufacturing apparatus has an input receiver, a three-dimensional shaping information generator, and a shaping part. The input receiver has a yarn-related information receiver that receives information inputted of a yarn, and a weaving method receiver that receives information inputted of a weaving method for the yarn. The three-dimensional shaping information generator generates three-dimensional shaping information of the three-dimensional object based on the yarn-related information and the information of the yarn weaving method. The shaping part forms the three-dimensional object on a working plane by ejecting an object forming material onto the working plane and curing the ejected material based on the three-dimensional shaping information.

This invention relates to processes for collation shrink packaging of one or more items with a thermally insulating film, to films for such processes, to packages so made, and to methods for extruding such films. The one or more items packaged may be cans, bottles, pouches and other carriers of liquid or solids.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a luminescent horological component for a portable object.

A biodecomposable film material includes: a biodecomposable material which is one or more selected from the group consisting of polylactic acid, poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) and poly butylene succinate and which has a mass percentage of 60-70%; a food grade agricultural waste having a diameter smaller than 50 m and a mass percentage of 10-30%; a modifier which is calcium carbonate powder or magnesium silicate salt powder and which has a diameter smaller than 8 m and a mass percentage of 7-29%; and an organic decomposing bacterium which is Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. The organic decomposing bacterium is heat resistant bacillus capable of withstanding a temperature of 100 C. and has a mass percentage of 1-3%. The biodecomposable material, the food grade agricultural waste, the modifier, and the organic decomposing bacterium are subjected to compounding and blowing to form a film having a thickness of 40-60 m.

A long fiber extrusion apparatus applies a polymer melt to a length of fiber using a die and an extruder where the length of fiber is directed to the die through a glass tube. The transparency of the glass tube enables viewing of the fiber as it is directed through the glass tube to monitor for any difficulties or problems encountered by the fiber passing through the glass tube. The glass interior surface of the glass tube reduces friction between the fiber and the glass surface and thereby reduces abrasion of the fiber and dust produced from abrasion of the fiber inside the glass tube.
