A limb for a breathing circuit manufactured from very thin walled polymer materials has an elongate axial reinforcing spine lying freely inside the conduit and fixed to each end connector. The spine is laterally compliant but axially stiff. The spine provides resistance to tensile and compressive loads on the conduit, including that induced by prevailing internal pressures.

An apparatus for manufacturing a display device and a method for manufacturing a display device are provided. An embodiment of an apparatus for manufacturing a display device includes a laser module configured to emit a laser beam and a first optical system disposed on one side of the laser module such that the laser beam is provided to the first optical system, wherein the first optical system controls an energy profile of the laser beam, wherein, on a first irradiation surface positioned at one side in a traveling direction of the laser beam from a focal point of the laser beam, the energy profile of the laser beam includes a first increase and then a first decrease in energy along a line parallel to the first irradiation surface from an outer perimeter of the laser beam toward a center of the laser beam, and wherein the energy profile of the laser beam includes a first peak corresponding to where the energy begins to decrease.

A method for fabricating a display panel including a bending area includes: providing a substrate; forming a first flexible layer on the substrate; forming an organic layer on the first flexible layer, wherein a wavelength of light absorbed by the organic layer is different from a wavelength of light absorbed by the first flexible layer; irradiating a part of the organic layer in the bending area with a laser to make at least a portion of the part of the organic layer a carbonized layer, thereby forming a spacer layer; forming a second flexible layer covering the first flexible layer and the spacer layer, wherein the first flexible layer and the second flexible layer are made of a same material and separated by the spacer layer; and cutting a part of the substrate and a part of the first flexible layer in the bending area.

A film peeling device includes a chamber, a lower stage disposed on a first wall of the chamber, first to fourth grippers capable of peeling first to fourth sides of a film by gripping the first to fourth sides of the film attached to an object disposed on the lower stage and an upper stage disposed on a second wall of the chamber facing the first wall of the chamber and capable of extending in a first direction in which the object is disposed.

Provided is an automatable peeling apparatus for peeling a protective sheet from a prepreg sheet. This peeling apparatus 2 is equipped with a loading unit 11, a prepreg sheet conveying unit 12, a leading end position detection unit 13, air spraying units 14, 15, a peeling state detection unit 16, protective sheet gripping/conveying units 17, 18, an extraction unit 19, and a control unit 20. The control apparatus 20 controls the loading unit 11, the prepreg sheet conveying unit 12, the leading end position detection unit 13, the air spraying units 14, 15, the peeling state detection unit 16, the protective sheet gripping/conveying units 17, 18, and the extraction unit 19. The first spraying mechanism 14 sprays first air onto the front of the end face of the prepreg sheet. The second spraying mechanism 15 sprays second air and fourth air onto the peeling boundary of the protective sheet.

A system for removing a coating from an underlying layer can include a wave-based weakening system configured to weaken the coating by decreasing a coupling force between the coating and the substrate, a coating removal mechanism configured to remove the weakened coating from the underlying layer, and a sensor configured to determine a property associated with the coating. A method for removing a coating from an underlying layer can include generating a weakened coating and removing the weakened coating.

A limb for a breathing circuit manufactured from very thin walled polymer materials has an elongate axial reinforcing spine lying freely inside the conduit and fixed to each end connector. The spine is laterally compliant but axially stiff. The spine provides resistance to tensile and compressive loads on the conduit, including that induced by prevailing internal pressures.

A manufacturing apparatus of a display device includes: a stage to support a work substrate covered by a work protective film; a separation module including a separation structure, and a pressure sensor to measure an intensity of a pressure applied to the separation structure; a driver to control a position of the separation module; and a controller to control the separation module and the driver.

A flooring accessory item, such as a transition, stair nosing, stair tread, floor vent cover, molding, or other accessories, is configured with an outer dry adhesive film layer to which a decorative surface skin layer can attach. The outer adhesive film layer is utilized to receive and secure a decorative layer for exposure at a later date. In some implementations, the film layer may be covered with a protective release paper to protect or preserve the outer adhesive, depending on the adhesive film type. The adhesive film layer can consist of a single layer of a dry adhesive film without a carrier, such as an internal scrim. Alternatively, the adhesive film layer may include a scrim-reinforced adhesive film, a woven fabric, foil carrier coated on both sides with an adhesive film, or an adhesive component that is chemically, thermally, or electronically (radio wave) activated at the installation site.

A film peeling device includes a chamber, a lower stage disposed on a first wall of the chamber, first to fourth grippers capable of peeling first to fourth sides of a film by gripping the first to fourth sides of the film attached to an object disposed on the lower stage and an upper stage disposed on a second wall of the chamber facing the first wall of the chamber and capable of extending in a first direction in which the object is disposed.
