A method of manufacturing a load structure may include forming a panel having a first side and a second side, clearing a fill passage through the panel, providing a tool having a first portion, a second portion, and a cavity disposed between the first and second portions, disposing a film onto a surface of the first portion of the tool, disposing the panel within the cavity such that the second side of the panel engages the second portion of the tool, and the first side of the panel is spaced apart from the surface of the first portion of the tool defining a void, and injecting a coating through the fill passage such that the coating fills the void and the film adheres to the first side of the panel.

The present invention provides, for example, a laminated film for molding, which not only has a hard coating ability equal to or more than conventional one, but also is improved in shape followability of the entire laminated film. The laminated film for molding of the present invention includes at least a substrate film, a hard coating layer, and a functional layer in the listed order, in which the hard coating layer includes at least a resin and 1 to 50 parts by mass of an inorganic oxide particle based on 100 parts by mass of the entire resin component included in the hard coating layer.

An automated manufacturing method and system and in-mold coated plastic article produced thereby are provided. The system includes a compression mold and a plurality of program-controlled manipulators. An automatic sprayer supported on a first manipulator sprays at least a portion of a mold surface with an in-mold coating composition. An end effector supported on a second manipulator picks up a heated blank of moldable plastic sheet material from an oven and places the heated blank between upper and lower mold halves of the mold. An inner portion of the heated blank is forced into an article-defining cavity of the mold and into contact with at least a portion of the in-mold coating composition. The in-mold coating composition and the inner portion of the heated blank cure and bond to one another so as to form the coated plastic article.

The present disclosure provides a vehicle cruise control sensor-cover and a method of manufacturing the vehicle cruise control sensor-cover, the vehicle cruise control sensor-cover including a bottom cover member wherein indium or an indium-containing alloy is deposited, by using a non-conductive vacuum metallization (NCVM) method, on a front surface of a bottom cover body having a logo and an outer frame protruding three-dimensionally and a top cover body including a transparent material and having a back surface formed in a shape corresponding to the front surface of the bottom cover member, wherein the top cover member is assembled integrally with the front surface of the bottom cover member, and a laser etching process is partially selectively performed only on the logo or the outer edge on the back surface of the top cover body to partially form an etched surface.

A glass plate with a resin frame for a vehicle window, includes a glass plate; a resin frame disposed on a peripheral edge area of the glass plate; and a decorative molding disposed on the resin frame; wherein the resin frame is molded to the glass plate and the decorative molding as one unit; and wherein a spacer is disposed between the resin frame and the decorative molding, the spacer being solid at room temperature.

A method for producing a component, wherein in the method the following steps are carried out, in particular in the following sequence: providing at least one upper mold carrier and at least one lower mold carrier, wherein the at least one upper mold carrier has at least two upper mold modules and the at least one lower mold carrier has at least one lower mold module; moving the at least one upper mold carrier and/or the at least one lower mold carrier in at least one direction into at least one predetermined position; combining a first upper mold module of the at least two upper mold modules of the at least one upper mold carrier and a first lower mold module of the at least one first lower mold module of the at least one lower mold carrier in the at least one predetermined position such that one or more work stations for carrying out at least one step for producing the component are formed; carrying out the at least one production step to form the component, as well as a device for producing a component.
