A resin composition is provided and includes: a cellulose acylate (A); a cardanol compound (B); and a compound (C), and the compound (C) is at least one selected from the group consisting of a hindered phenol compound, a tocopherol compound, a tocotrienol compound, a phosphite compound, and a hydroxylamine compound.

A method is described for making a retort container having one or two metal ends. A heat-sealable material is present on one or both of the container side wall and the/each metal end. The/each metal end is seamed onto the container body, and the resulting container assembly is conveyed on a conveyor adjacent to an induction sealing head and then adjacent to a cooling device. A pressure belt engages the upper end of the container assembly to keep the metal end from coming off the container body during the induction heating and cooling processes.

The invention discloses a manufacturing method of a speaker vibrating diaphragm by controlling a ratio of fiber materials, the method comprising the steps of: (A) fabric provision: providing a fabric interwoven by a plurality of warps and a plurality of wefts; (B) impregnation: impregnating the fabric in a resin solution; (C) drying: drying the fabric impregnated with resin solution; (D) formation: pressing the dried resin-impregnating fabric to form a predetermined shape; and (E) cutting: cutting the formed speaker vibrating diaphragm from the fabric. Each of the plurality of warps and each of the plurality of wefts of the fabric has an individual yarn count and material composition. By controlling a combination of the yarn counts of the plurality of warps and the plurality of wefts, a total number of threads and a material composition ratio of the warps and wefts required for the vibrating diaphragm are achieved.

Systems and methods for using microneedle arrays to deliver bioactive compounds are presented. In general, the microeconomic array comprises at least three layers: a base layer, a separation layer, and a bioactive layer, wherein the separation layer is situated between the base layer and the bioactive layer. Upon exposure to physiological conditions, the separation layer dissolves and/or disperses, allowing the base layer to be removed while the bioactive layer remains embedded in the outer surface of the skin.
