A method of manufacturing a control cuff for a rotor blade of a hinge and bearingless rotor. The method comprises at least the steps of: manufacturing an outer shell, manufacturing a stiffener member by means of an automated process, inserting the stiffener member into the outer shell, and bonding the stiffener member to the outer shell.

In an aspect, there is provided a method of foil printing that may comprise providing a substrate having a surface comprising a first area and a second area, wherein the first area has printed thereon a first electrostatic ink composition comprising a first thermoplastic resin and substantially lacking a pigment and the second area has printed thereon a second electrostatic ink composition comprising a second thermoplastic resin and a pigment; applying a liquid solvent composition to the first electrostatic ink composition on the first area and the second electrostatic ink composition on the second area, to swell the first and second thermoplastic resins; and contacting a foiling material with the first electrostatic ink composition on the first area, such that the foiling material selectively adheres to the first area on the surface of the substrate. In another aspect, an electrostatic and foil printing system for performing the method is provided.

A laminator for high-precision solvent-bonding of retardation films is disclosed. The laminator is capable of producing laminates with high orientation repeatability and low in-plane stress which can otherwise create gaps between optimum theoretical performance and that which is physically realizable. Batch-mode laminators are scalable to large area mother-sheets and are suited to high-throughput manufacturing.

Disclosed is a process of manufacturing a thickened angle ring. The process includes the steps of: soaking wet paper into deionized water for 1 hour; beating bonding surfaces of the two pieces of wet paper into fuzzed and rough surfaces; placing a heat resisting polyester film and a nylon net on a mold, and placing one fuzzed wet paper on the mold in contact with the nylon net on smooth side thereof; placing the other wet paper in contact with the fuzzed surface of the previous wet paper on fuzzed side thereof, and beating until the wet paper fits the mold; placing a further heat resisting polyester film and a further nylon net on the two pieces of wet paper for pressing.

A process for producing a smooth-sided strand-based siding or wood structural panel using a pre-telegraphing process. The pre-telegraphing is performed after the primary process completes pressing and consolidation of the substrate/board. The pre-telegraphing process applies a water spray on the hot board immediately out of the primary process press, and before overlay application. The application of the water spray causes the surface of the board to swell and cure. A settling period follows to allow the top surface particles and strands to swell along with absorption and evaporation of the moisture. This is followed by surface sanding to remove the telegraphing and produce a smooth surface. This may then be followed by lamination of overlay(s). The process is completed by post-lamination treatment and coating of the board.

A thermoplastic film which exhibits elastic-like behavior along at least one axis when stretched or elongated and then released. The thermoplastic film comprises a plurality of raised rib-like elements extending in a direction perpendicular to a main surface of the thermoplastic film. The thermoplastic film further includes a plurality of web areas positioned about the plurality of raised rib-like elements. The plurality of raised rib-like elements and plurality of web areas are arranged in a complex pattern. The complex pattern provides visual and tactile cues as the films are stretched or elongated. The complex pattern can cause the thermoplastic film to have a complex stretch profile.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a conductive membrane transfer sheet including a first release sheet and a conductive membrane is provided. The first release sheet includes a liquid-permeable sheet. The conductive membrane includes a conductive fiber supported on a first major surface of the first release sheet. The first release sheet and the conductive membrane contain a first liquid.

A coated sheet for use in additive manufacturing includes a base polymer layer formed of a base polymer material and a coating polymer layer formed of a coating polymer material. At least the coating polymer material is susceptible to dielectric heating in response to electromagnetic radiation, thereby promoting fusion between adjacent coated sheets during the additive manufacturing process. Specifically, when electromagnetic radiation is applied to at least an interface area between adjacent coated sheets, the polymer coating layer of each coated sheet melts to diffuse across an interface area, thereby preventing formation of voids. The base polymer material and the coating polymer material also may have similar melting points and compatible solubility parameters to further promote fusion between sheets.

An anti-counterfeit label and a manufacturing method therefor. The anti-counterfeit label is provided with a bottom plate (1). Ink bags (2) filled with anti-counterfeit ink are disposed on the bottom plate (1). More than two ink bags (2) are arranged to form an anti-counterfeit pattern. A cover plate (3) is disposed at upper parts of the ink bags (2). The thickness of the bottom plate (1) is 0.2 to 2.0 mm. The depths of the ink bags (2) on the bottom plate (1) are 0.019 to 1.99 mm, The cover plate (3) adopts a plastic film cover plate, the thickness of the cover plate (3) being greater than 0.0001 mm. After the cover plate (3) of the anti-counterfeit label is destroyed, partial or integral information about the label will disappear within a period of time, thereby resolving the problems of high anti-counterfeit cost and complicated query means, and effectively preventing counterfeiters from counterfeiting in batches by using second-hand product packing.

A peeling apparatus includes a water tank, a stage disposed in the water tank, a peeling member disposed above the stage, and a discharge preventing block disposed in the water tank and disposed outside the stage, wherein a height of the discharge preventing block is greater than a height of the stage.
