An actuator system for use in a mold system includes a first actuator operatively coupled to a first mold portion and configured to move the first mold portion along an axis in a first direction from a first molding position toward a first ejecting position. The system also includes a second actuator operatively coupled to a second mold portion and configured to move the second mold portion along the axis in the first direction from a second molding position toward a second ejecting position. The system further includes a controller in communication with the first and second actuators and configured to independently activate the first and second actuators.

A method of continuously manufacturing a cured membrane includes continuously compounding and mixing a vulcanizable rubber composition in a mixing extruder while continuously removing gasses from the vulcanizable rubber composition during mixing with a vacuum. The vulcanizable rubber composition may be continuously extruded to form an extrudate, which may be continuously calendered to form a green membrane. The green membrane may be continuously cured, such as by a hot air conveyor curing system, to form a cured membrane.

A method for making low shrink polyester films wherein the films are arranged in stacks, tentered, heat treated, and relaxed in unison. Also, polyester films produced by such method.

A high-pressure tank producing apparatus capable of reducing time for increasing temperature of a tank body. The apparatus that heats the tank body with fibers impregnated with a thermosetting resin wound around its surface includes a heating chamber for housing the tank body and a retaining mechanism for retaining the tank body within the heating chamber, in which the heating chamber has an injection port for injecting heated gas onto the surface of the tank body and an exhaust port for discharging the gas to the outside of the heating chamber, the exhaust port being disposed in a position where the injection port is projected in a gas injecting direction, and the retaining mechanism retains the tank body in a region where the injection and exhaust ports overlap with each other as viewed from the gas injecting direction and in a position between the injection and exhaust ports.

A system for thermally bonding nonwoven fibers of assemblages of nonwoven fibers loosely held together may include a processing duct including an inlet end, an outlet end, and an intermediate portion extending between the inlet end and the outlet end. The system also may include one or more heat inlets located in the intermediate portion and configured to facilitate introduction of heat and air flow into the intermediate portion. The system further may include an inlet air feed at the inlet end and configured to separate the assemblages upon entry into the inlet end and propel the assemblages into the intermediate portion. The system also may include one or more heating devices configured to heat the assemblages as the assemblages are conveyed toward the outlet end to form processed assemblages, each of the processed assemblages including at least some nonwoven fibers adhered to one another.

A method for sealing a telecommunications product is disclosed. The method includes securing a telecommunications product to an apparatus having heat blasters, and initiating a heat sealing operation that includes moving the heat blasters along a first plane toward a shrink wrap tubing until the heat blasters surround the shrink wrap tubing; delivering hot air from each heat blaster; and moving the heat blasters along a second plane along a predetermined length of the shrink wrap tubing, the second plane being orthogonal to the first plane.

A three-dimensional component is produced in a simplified molding operation. Expandable substrates, which are referred to as blanks, are created by compressing thermobonded nonwovens after heating the binder material above its melting temperature, and then cooling the compressed nonwovens so that the binder material hardens and holds the fibers of the nonwoven together in a compressed configuration with stored kinetic energy. Boards can be formed by laminating two or more blanks together and/or by laminating the blanks with other materials, including non-expendable materials. A mold for the component to be manufactured can be partially filled with a number of boards (or blanks) in a stacked, vertically, adjacent or even random orientation. In addition, the boards or blanks may be cut to create desired shapes of parts that can be placed in the mold.

A method for forming an object includes moving an assembly including an energy source, heating an initial layer of build material (31i, 31s, 31, 3, 50) positioned in a build area via forced convection around the energy source of the assembly, and spreading build material (31) on the build area, thereby depositing a second layer of build material (31i, 31s, 31, 3, 50) over the initial layer of build material (31 i, 31s, 31, 3, 50).

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical dosage forms, for example to a tamper resistant dosage form including an opioid analgesic, and processes of manufacture, uses, and methods of treatment thereof.

A uniform temperature roller system for uniform temperature exchange by supercritical fluid is revealed. The system includes a roller body, a pair of rotary shafts, a plurality of heating/cooling modules and a supercritical fluid. The roller body includes a first chamber, a second chamber and a third chamber. The second chamber is a closed space and the two rotary shafts are formed on two lateral plates of a housing of the roller body correspondingly. The heating/cooling modules are mounted in the second chamber and the supercritical fluid is filled in the second chamber for transferring temperature between the heating/cooling modules and the roller shell. Thereby the uniform temperature roller system achieves heating or cooling quickly with uniform heat exchange so as to improve quality and yield rate of the product as well as extend service life of the roller.
