A filler disposition film that can use a commercially procurable filler material having good particle diameter uniformity, enables high positional precision of the filler disposition, can support even an increase in the surface area, and has a prescribed filler regularly disposed in a long resin film. Moreover, the rate of consistency of disposition of the filler in the filler disposition film in rectangular areas of a prescribed size having a length of 1000 times or more the average particle diameter of the prescribed filler, and a width of 0.2 mm or greater is 90% or greater. Such a rectangular area has a long-side direction that is substantially parallel to the long-side direction of the filler disposition film, and a widthwise direction that is substantially parallel to a short-side direction of the filler disposition film. The average particle diameter of the regularly disposed filler is from 0.4 ?m to 100 ?m.

A method for sealing a fastener employs a mold which provided with an inlet port for molding material. The mold is then positioned over a fastener and the mold is sealed against a structure. A moisture cured polyurethane reactive adhesive (MCRPA) as a molding material is then heated and injected into the mold. Upon solidification of the MCRPA, the mold is then removed to expose the MCRPA to atmospheric moisture and cured to leave an in-situ molded cap formed over the fastener and sealed to the structure.

A nanoimprint lithography template, method of fabrication, and method of manufacturing an article using the same. The template includes a body having first and second opposed sides, the second side having a mesa extending therefrom, with the mesa having sidewalls and a surface. A recessed shelf extends around a perimeter of the mesa surface, with a light-blocking material positioned on at least the recessed shelf and at a thickness such that the light-blocking material does not extend beyond a plane defined by the mesa surface.

A low mass staking module includes a punch having a cavity on a first side, a contact surface on the second side opposite the first side, and a circular flange extending about an outer edge thereof, the punch formed of a thermally-conductive material, an annular housing engaged with the punch about the circular flange at a first end, and a heating element located inside the annular housing. The heating element has an output side in contact with the contact surface of the punch, the contact surface having a shape conforming to a shape of the output side of the heating element. The punch is desirably a low thermal mass punch, while the heating element may be a high power (watt) density, solid state, ceramic, resistant heating element (e.g., aluminum nitride or boron nitride heaters).

The present invention recites a method of fabricating a stator for a downhole motor, the method comprising the steps of providing a stator tube having an interior surface and applying a bonding agent to the interior surface of the stator tube. Additionally, a mandrel is positioned within the stator tube, the mandrel having an outer geometry that is complimentary to a desired inner geometry for the stator. Furthermore, a reinforcing material is introduced into the stator tube to fill space between the mandrel and the interior surface of the stator tube and subsequently solidified to bond the reinforcing material to the interior surface of the stator tube. The mandrel is then removed from the bonded stator tube and reinforcing material such that a stator is fabricated.

A heat-seal apparatus of an air-bubble machine and the method thereof, comprising: an air-bubble machine main-body; at least one electromagnetic heating assembly for producing a magnetic force; at least one magnetically conductive heat-seal assembly to heat-seal at least one air-bubble film; at least one support-portion to make an interval space between the electromagnetic heating assembly and the magnetically conductive heat-seal assembly; and at least one transmission shaft-body. The magnetic force generated by the electromagnetic heating assembly passes through the interval space to mutually interact with the magnetically conductive heat-seal assembly by electromagnetic induction, and the magnetically conductive heat-seal assembly is heated in a non-contact manner to make the heating be very rapid and uniform. The magnetically conductive heat-seal assembly is driven by the transmission shaft-body to move the air-bubble film which is simultaneously heat-sealed when being moved, thereby improving the use efficiency of energy.
