In an aspect, a method of filling a plurality of cooling holes in an airfoil component, the method comprises injecting a curable composition into a fill channel such that the curable composition flows through the fill channel to the plurality of cooling holes; forming a plurality of beads of the curable composition on a surface of the component over the plurality of cooling holes; directing a radiation to the respective beads in directions parallel to the respective central axes of the cooling holes associated with the respective beads to cure curable composition of the respective beads; and heating the component to cure the curable composition located in the fill channel.

Method for producing a seat for a vehicle, the bottom and the foam obtained by molding in a double mold by the following subsequent steps: gluing: in which a robot moves the molded product in front of a glue nozzle; activation: in which the robot transfers the molded product into a heating station, activating the glue; loading: in which a user arranges the cover in a loading station; superimposition: in which the cover is transferred into a superimposition station; simultaneously, a second robot grasps the molded product and moves it into the superimposition station; pressing: in which a plurality of grippers press the edge of the cover against the edge of the bottom, causing irreversible gluing between the bottom and cover, forming the seat; moving-away: in which the second robot grasps the seat from the superimposition station and places it on a conveyor belt to move it away.

Process for the preparation of plastic composite molded bodies in which hard-soft molded bodies made of low-melting thermoplastics and light curable polyorganosiloxane compositions are prepared as well as products produced by this process.

Manufacturing optoelectronic modules includes supporting a printed circuit board substrate (27) on a first vacuum injection tool (24). The printed circuit board substrate (27) has at least one optoelectronic component mounted thereon and has a solder mask (40) on a surface (46) facing away from the first vacuum injection tool (24). The method includes causing the first vacuum injection tool (24) and a second vacuum injection tool (22) to be brought closer to one another such that a surface (46) of the second vacuum injection tool (22) is in contact with the solder mask (40). Subsequently, a first epoxy (100, 20) is provided, using a vacuum injection technique, in spaces (104) between the upper tool (22) and the solder mask (40).
