The equipment for the production of slabs in mineral grits bound with resins, comprises: a support frame, at least one lower plate, locked together with the frame, comprising at least one positioning zone for at least one mold having at least one forming cavity, open at the top, to contain a mix comprising the materials necessary to obtain the slabs, at least one pressing assembly comprising an upper plate movable, with respect to the frame, from an upper position of loading/unloading the mold in/from the positioning zone, to a lower position of pressing the mix inside said forming cavity, vibrating means associated at least with the lower plate, and an airtight chamber, communicating with suction means, adapted to reduce the pressure to a value lower than the atmospheric pressure, containing the mold, where the chamber is interposed between the lower plate and an upper closing element opposite the lower plate.

A method of creating a soft and lofty continuous fiber nonwoven web is provided. The method includes providing molten polymer to a spinneret defining a plurality of orifices, and flowing a fluid intermediate the spinneret and a moving porous member. The moving porous member is positioned below the spinneret. The method includes using the fluid to draw or push the molten polymer, in a direction that is toward the moving porous member, through at least some of the plurality of orifices to form a plurality of individual continuous fiber strands. The method includes depositing the continuous fiber strands on the moving porous member at a first location to create an intermediate continuous fiber nonwoven web, and removing and/or diverting some of the fluid proximate to the first location to maintain loft and softness in the deposited intermediate continuous fiber nonwoven web.

A tool and a method for manufacturing a bypass in an injection device are disclosed. The preforms of the injection device are inserted into a tool. A partial region of the cylindrical portion is heated by a heat source. The heated partial region of the cylindrical portion is plastically deformed with a male die part of the tool, so that the bypass channel is formed.

The apparatus (1000) includes a housing (110), a chamber (120) disposed in the housing, at least two light emitting diodes (LEDs) (130) disposed within the housing (110), and a user interface (140) disposed on an exterior (112) of the housing. The chamber (120) is adaptable to each of an open, closed, and hermetically sealed configuration. The chamber (120) includes a material transparent to actinic radiation and light from the LEDs (130) enters the chamber from more than one direction. The user interface (140) includes a display (142) and program switches (144) configured to adjust at least three operational parameters of the apparatus. The apparatus (1000) further includes a vacuum pump (150) operatively coupled to the chamber (120). The system includes the apparatus (1000) and an article (180). An article includes layers of at least one photopolymerized crosslinked composition and a low extractable component content. A method of post-curing an article includes obtaining an article (180), placing the article in an apparatus (1000),

Apparatus is described comprising a treatment chamber, a pump, a condenser and a secondary chamber. The treatment chamber comprises an interior into which an article to be treated can be disposed. The condenser, the pump and the secondary chamber are is in fluid communication with the treatment chamber in a closed loop to form a vapor extraction part of the apparatus. The apparatus may comprise a controller to control the operation of the apparatus automatically.

According to an aspect, a lid includes a circular top portion, a fitting portion, and a skirt portion. The top portion has a drinking hole. The fitting portion includes an inner fitting portion protruding upwardly from a peripheral end of the top portion and adapted to contact a rim-side inner circumferential surface of a container body, and an upper fitting portion thicker than the inner fitting portion and adapted to be fitted onto a rim of the container body. An upper end of the fitting portion is at a level higher than the drinking hole. The skirt portion at its upper end is continuous with an outer-side lower end of the fitting portion. The skirt portion extends downwardly away from the rim. The skirt portion is adapted to cover a rim-side circumferential surface of the container body.

The present application relates generally to tubes, such as thin walled catheter liners with small wall thicknesses (e.g., less than 1 mm), including crosslinked fluoropolymers, e.g., crosslinked poly(tetrafluoroethylene). The disclosure further provides methods of manufacturing such tubes and systems for manufacturing such tubes.

A multi-sheet component for a utility vehicle that includes at least one gap between at least two of the sheets, thereby providing a component that enhances worker safety by increasing component stiffness and reducing component thickness. The component is manufactured through multi-sheet thermoforming and uses a conical frustum corrugation to increase stiffness.

A fluid chamber for a shoe may be formed using pressure channels in a forming mold, eliminating the need to insert a nozzle or needles into the chamber for inflation. A fluid chamber so formed may have a smaller seal area than a chamber formed using an inflation needle, making the chamber more visually pleasing. Apparatus and methods for forming a fluid chamber in this fashion are also disclosed.

A vehicle interior material manufacturing apparatus includes a preheater for preheating a raw fabric, a mover for moving the preheated raw fabric and including a stretching jig movable back and forth, a first mold into which the preheated raw fabric is inserted by the mover, a second mold having an at least partially corresponding shape to the first mold, and an injection resin introduced into the second mold, wherein the first mold includes: a base member on which an embossed pattern to be transferred to the preheated raw fabric is formed, a vacuum hole through which the preheated raw fabric is adsorbed onto the base member, and a spring core protruding from the base member and contacting at least a portion of the preheated raw fabric inserted into the first mold.
