An apparatus for applying pressure to at least a portion of an edge surface, which bridges opposing faces of a workpiece, comprises a frame, a first roller, a second roller, a rotation-control member, a first biasing member, and a second biasing member. The first roller and the second roller are coupled to the frame, are rotatable relative to the frame, and are translationally fixed relative to the frame. The rotation-control member is movable relative to the frame, controlling rotation of the first roller and the second roller relative to the frame. The first biasing member is configured to operate in compression along a second axis. The second biasing member is positioned, in compression, between the frame and the rotation-control member.

Compositions including a polyamide, and compaction rollers for an automated fiber placement machine incorporating the composition are provided. The polyamide may be a reaction product of at least one diamine and an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, a hydroxy benzoic acid, or their respective ester or acyl halide derivatives. The at least one diamine may include an amino terminated perfluorinated alkyl ether polymer or oligomer. The composition may have a thermal conductivity of from about 0.2 to about 50 Watts per meter Kelvin (Wm.sup.−1K.sup.−1).

Provided are a method of manufacturing an orifice and an orifice manufactured by the same. An object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing an orifice spraying a very small amount of fluid in ultra-high pressure and very low temperature environments and reducing a volume and a mass, and an orifice manufactured by the same. More specifically, an object of the present invention is directed to providing a method of manufacturing an orifice capable of manufacturing an orifice effectively realizing a desired hydraulic performance by a simple manufacturing method of allowing a channel region having a cross section close to a rectangular shape to be formed by pressing a part of a capillary pipe, and an orifice manufactured by the same.

The present invention discloses a special hydraulic press for bulging pressing forming of an automobile axle housing and a pressing forming method. A hydraulic press body is a closed frame consisting of an upper cross beam, a lower cross beam, four stand columns I, II, III, and IV, four vertical pull rods I, II, III, and IV, and four transverse pull rods I, II, III, and IV, and is used for balancing a deformation force up to 3000 T in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction in the pressing forming process. During pressing forming, the downward speeds of a main hydraulic cylinder, small left and right vertical hydraulic cylinders are precisely controlled to prevent the left end, the right end and the middle of the tube blank from bending.
