A manufacturing method of an acoustic coating in an ordered array of interconnected micro-channels intended to receive, on a reception surface, an incident acoustic wave with direction Ac normal to this surface, the method including depositing a sacrificial material on a substrate surface to form a three-dimensional scaffold of filaments, infiltrating at least one part of the three-dimensional scaffold with a thermosetting material, solidifying the thermosetting material to form a solidified material, and removing the sacrificial material from the solidified material to form the ordered array of interconnected micro-channels, the filaments forming by superimposed layers the three-dimensional scaffold being, for a given layer of filaments, oriented in a direction forming, in a plane formed by the layer, a first angle θ relative to the direction Ac of the incident acoustic wave, to confer acoustic properties to the ordered array of interconnected micro-channels and thus form the acoustic coating.

A manufacturing method of a tank comprises winding a fiber on a liner by hoop winding. The winding comprises: forming an (N+1)-th layer such that a position closer to a center of the liner by a first predetermined distance along an axis line direction of the liner from an end in the axis line direction of an N-th layer is set to position of an end in the axis line direction of the (N+1)-th layer with respect to a direction perpendicular to the axis line direction; and winding the fiber on the N-th layer to provide one winding turn of the fiber, such that a pressing force of pressing the N-th layer in the axis line direction by the fiber is equal to or smaller than a total frictional force in an area in the N-th layer on an edge side in the axis line direction of a fiber winding position.

A sheet metal member forming method comprises placing a fiber bundle of a predetermined length, via a thermosetting resin, in a predetermined position on a surface of a sheet metal member, forming a coating film on at least a part of the sheet metal member after the placing of the fiber bundle, and while heating and drying the coating film, heat-curing the thermosetting resin to bond the fiber bundle to the sheet metal member.

A pattern structure includes a plurality of pattern structure units arranged substantially on a same plane, where each of the pattern structure units has a first surface and a second surface, which are opposite to each other, and a microstructure is defined on the first surface of each of the pattern structure units, and a flattening layer disposed on the second surface of each of the plurality of pattern structure units, where the flattening layer connects the pattern structure units with each other, and a vertical step difference exists between second surfaces of the pattern structure units.

A part made of a fiber-reinforced composite material includes a structure made from a set of fibers supported in a thermosetting resin and a peel ply across all or part of the outer surface of the structure. The part has a gradient of polymerization at the interface between the structure and the peel ply. Also, methods for making such a part and methods for bonding such parts.

The present invention provides a method for producing a durable semispherical shoe which can be prevented from being subjected to seizure even in a dry lubrication state in which there is no lubricating oil at a start time of an operation of a swash plate compressor, can be restrained from deteriorating in its lubricating property due to generated frictional heat, and can be restrained from deteriorating in its strength at a production time and an injection molding die. A semispherical shoe (4), for a swash plate compressor, to be produced by the production method has a base material (5), consisting of a hard material, which has a hollow part along a central axis thereof and a resin layer, consisting of a resin composition, which is formed on a surface of a planar part, disposed on a periphery of the base member, which is to be subjected to sliding contact with the swash plate and on a surface of a spherical part, disposed on the periphery thereof, which is to be subjected to sliding contact with a piston. A resin-filled portion (8) where the resin composition is filled and an empty portion where the resin composition is not filled are formed in the hollow part of the base material. The resin-filled portion (8) and the resin layer are formed by injecting and filling the resin composition into a portion to be formed as the resin-filled portion (8) with the base material (5) being disposed inside a cavity (22) of the injection molding die.

A curing device includes a curing platform having at least one curing component arranged on a surface of the curing platform facing a print direction and at least one actuator connecting the curing platform to a dispensing tip. A three dimensional printing system includes a reservoir of curable material, a dispensing tip connected to the reservoir, a curing platform surrounding the dispensing tip, the curing platform having at least one curing component arranged on a surface of the curing platform facing a print direction, and at least one actuator connecting the curing platform to the dispensing tip.

A lightweight composite material includes a substrate and a carbon fiber layer. The substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, and is prepared by impregnating glass fibers with a resinous matrix which is formed by mixing hollow glass microspheres with a thermosettable resin material. The carbon fiber layer is bonded to one of the first and second surfaces of the substrate by thermosetting the thermosettable resin material.

Aspects hereof relate to a multi-part mold for molding articles of footwear having sole regions of differing materials forming a desired outsole surface material pattern. The multi-part mold includes a carrier mold portion and a tray mold portion. The carrier mold portion provides definition to the lateral surfaces of a resultant co-molded product. The tray mold portion cooperates with the carrier mold portion and provides definition to another (e.g., bottom) surface of the resultant co-molded product. The tray mold portion generally includes at least one pod or cavity for receiving a first material that when cured/catalyzed, defines a patterned other (e.g., bottom) surface of the resultant product. A multi-part mold having the structure as described herein permits interchangeability of multiple tray mold portions with a single carrier mold portion.
