A composite element for the realization of protection devices of parts of the human body includes a matrix, a reinforcing element, at least partially embedded in the matrix, wherein the reinforcing element has at least one opening shaped so as to define an undercut between the matrix and the reinforcing element, such undercut being suitable for determining a mechanical constraint between the matrix and the reinforcement element.

Provided is a technology of a handy type and small-sized massage appliance. In the massage appliance, the vibrating section which is brought in contact with the user's skin and applies vibration is covered by the dual-structured cladding material having a high flexibility. Therefore, the original massage effect such as the promotion of bloodstream, the removal of the body wastes, and recovery from fatigue can be exerted without giving damage on a sensitive diseased part or the skin. There are provided a motor 5, a vibrating piece 8 which is rotatably driven by the motor, a vibrator body 2 which includes the case 9 accommodating these components, a soft cover 20 which surrounds the outer surface of the case, and a super-soft resin 40 which is interposed between the outer surface of the case and the soft cover and integrates the case and the soft cover.

A method and apparatus for building a fuselage assembly for an aircraft. A number of fixtures may be drive across a floor to an assembly area to form an assembly fixture. The fuselage assembly may be built on the assembly fixture.

A method is provided for production of a module, including the steps of: providing a substrate (1) having a first surface (5) in the form of a translucent carrier; providing an open casting mold (6), wherein the formation of at least one optical element (4, 4) is provided in the casting mold (6); covering the surface (5) with a polymeric casting compound (3) in the open casting mold, while forming the optical element from the casting compound (3); and curing the casting compound in the casting mold, wherein the translucent carrier and the casting compound (3) together form an optical system (10).

An attachment for an end effector. The attachment may include a clamp and a foot adhesively bonded to an edge of the clamp and having a set of interlocking features that form a mechanical interlock with the clamp.

Methods of forming dry adhesives including a method of making a dry adhesive including applying a liquid polymer to the second end of the stem, molding the liquid polymer on the stem in a mold, wherein the mold includes a recess having a cross-sectional area that is less than a cross-sectional area of the second end of the stem, curing the liquid polymer in the mold to form a tip at the second end of the stem, wherein the tip includes a second layer stem; corresponding to the recess in the mold, and removing the tip from the mold after the liquid polymer cures.

A three-dimensional (3D) laser-based scan of a faade of a structure is conducted. Based on data of the 3D laser-based scan, a 3D computer model of the faade is generated. Then, a design of insulation to be installed on the faade is determined based on the generated 3D computer model. According to the determined design, insulation is fabricated via an automated fabrication process.

A bonded multilayer article including: (a) at least one first layer of a silicone-containing rubber substrate material bonded to (b) at least one second layer of a substrate material bondable to the first layer; wherein at least a portion of the surface of the first layer is activated for adhesion to increase the bond strength of the first layer to a second layer such that the bond strength of the first layer bonded to the second layer is increased; and a process for producing the above bonded multilayer article.
