A system of retaining wall blocks, a method of assembling a retaining wall block assembly, and a mold for manufacturing retaining wall blocks having adjustable engagement configurations.

A retaining wall block having a false joint and a system of retaining wall blocks. The retaining wall block includes a body having a first textured surface and a second textured surface and a false joint dividing the first and second textured surface. The false joint can have a depth divided by the width greater than two inches. The false joint can have an interior angle of less than ten degrees. The system includes a plurality of retaining wall blocks and a first course of retaining wall blocks engaged with a second course of retaining wall blocks below. Each block in the system comprising a front face having a first textured surface and a second textured surface and a false joint dividing the first and second textured surface. The false joint can extend a predetermined depth of a third surface.

A method for making a biocompatible three-dimensional object includes delivering, using a delivery system, a biocompatible fluid substance comprising a plurality of particles towards a support body having a matrix surface to obtain a coating layer of predetermined thickness configured for coating the matrix surface, generating a relative movement with at least three degrees of freedom between the support body and the delivery system, and removing from the support body any surplus particles of the biocompatible fluid substance to make uniform the predetermined thickness of the coating layer. The support body is coated with the biocompatible fluid substance to obtain a three-dimensional object having an object surface corresponding to the matrix surface.

The invention relates to a method for producing decorative parts with a rear plastic carrier element, which is poured over with plastic under process pressure in a casting tool for producing an upper layer on a front visible side, characterized in that the carrier element is fixed in the casting tool and is impinged upon with pressure at least during the production of the upper layer at the rear and in the direction of the upper layer that is to be produced on the front visible side, said pressure counteracting the process pressure during the overmolding with plastic.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing spherical cured polymer particles from a curable composition. The method comprises the steps of: dropping a curable composition onto a substrate having a water contact angle of 150° to 170° at 25° C. to form droplets of the curable composition; and curing the droplets to form the polymer particles.

The present invention relates to a chloroprene copolymer latex composition, a molded article of chloroprene copolymer rubber, or a dip-molded product, and the chloroprene copolymer latex composition includes a chloroprene copolymer (A) and a vulcanization accelerator (B). The chloroprene copolymer (A) includes monomer units derived from chloroprene and from 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene. The chloroprene copolymer latex composition includes a carbamate-based vulcanization accelerator and a thiazole-based vulcanization accelerator as the vulcanization accelerator (B). The chloroprene copolymer latex composition enables production of a molded article having high flexibility and high tensile strength without use of a vulcanization accelerator that is feared to have skin sensitization.
