A thermoplastic surfacer for providing lightning strike protection to a composite component of an aircraft, methods of manufacturing the surfacer, and methods of applying the surfacer to a composite part. The thermoplastic surfacer includes a broadgood having a thermoplastic resin, one or more fillers embedded into the broadgood, and a lightning strike protection mesh or foil embedded into the broadgood. When applying the surfacer to a composite part of an aircraft, the method includes draping the surfacer on an at least partially unconsolidated composite part, consolidating the at least partially unconsolidated composite part by heating the part to a temperature at or above a melt temperature of a resins used in the part and in the surfacer, and filling at least one surface defect in the consolidated part using the thermoplastic polymer resin and milled fibers provided in the thermoplastic surfacer.

A method of manufacturing a pressure vessel, may include a preparation step of preparing a boss made of metal; a processing step of processing a concave-convex pattern on an external surface of the boss; and a winding step of winding a reinforcing material around an external surface of a liner including the boss so that the reinforcing material is disposed on the concave-convex pattern, improving quality and durability of the pressure vessel and reducing a defect rate.

The invention relates to a mould for moulding a component with one or more inserts, the mould comprising a mould body for defining in part the shape of the component, and at least one insert holder for holding an insert within the mould body. Each insert holder is movably supported such it can move relative to the mould body in a direction of shrinkage of the component, and wherein the mould further comprises a biasing means to bias each insert holder to a first position relative to the mould body. The invention also relates to a method of moulding.

A lid suitable for closing a metal can includes a metal ring onto which a peelable membrane is sealed. An inner annular part of the metal ring is equipped with a roll defining an annular space therebetween. The first connection portion of the roll and the second connection portion of the inner annular part opposite are sealed to one another by element of a heat-sealing material to form a seal sealing the annular space so at to protect the free edge of the roll. The invention also relates to a method for producing such a lid.

A canister for storing and launching a self-propelled projectile comprises: a) an inner layer comprising an aluminum foil; b) a top layer consisting of an injected thermoplastic polymer; and c) optionally, a primer and/or a topcoat.

Provided is a secondary battery, including: an electrode assembly, a packing bag, an electrode lead and an insulation part; the electrode assembly is housed in the packing bag having a sealing part on edge, and the electrode lead is connected to the electrode assembly and passes through the sealing part. The sealing part includes a main body area, a first step area and a first transition area which are located on same side of the electrode lead along width direction, and the main body area, first transition area and first step area are successively arranged along direction approaching the electrode lead; the insulation part is wrapped around the electrode lead, and has a first portion which is located on a side of the electrode lead close to the main body area along width direction and covered by the first step area on both sides in thickness direction.

An assembly for producing sealed packaging units (14) from a sheet packaging material, comprises: an advancement device (21) for advancing the sheet packaging material along an advancement direction (F), a longitudinal sealing device for sealing opposite borders of the sheet packaging material along a longitudinal sealing band arranged parallelly to the advancement direction (F), thereby forming a continuous tube (15), a transverse sealing device (29) for sealing the continuous tube (15) transversely to the advancement direction (F), so as to define a sealed packaging unit (14). The transverse sealing device (29) comprises a sealing element (30) and an abutment element (31) that are intended to mutually cooperate during sealing while being located on opposite sides of the continuous tube (15). The sealing element (30) is so configured as to act on a side (27) of the continuous tube (15) on which the longitudinal sealing band is provided.

An electrically decoupled jet engine. The electrically decoupled jet engine includes a combustion chamber which creates a toroidal flow of air and a rotational electric motor which drives a fuel supply into the combustion chamber. The toroidal flow of air is mixed with the fuel and combusted in the combustion chamber to create thrust.

A packaging device and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The packaging device includes: a bottom plate (1); a side plate (2) fixed to a surface of the bottom plate (1), the bottom plate (1) and the side plate (2) forming a containing cavity through joint enclosure; and a supporting piece (3) in the bottom plate (1). The bottom plate (1) completely wraps the supporting piece (3). An extending direction of the supporting piece (3) is roughly parallel to the surface of the bottom plate (1). A material of the supporting piece (3) is different from that of the bottom plate (1), and a strength of the supporting piece (3) is greater than that of the bottom plate (1).

A housing, in particular a battery housing, includes a wall, wherein the wall is formed, at least is some areas, from a multi-layered material. The wall encompasses an arrangement area which is formed by bending the material.
