A two-cell container device the device includes a first housing and configured to house a liquid, the first housing including a body, wherein the body further comprises an annular form with an interior reservoir for the liquid and a central through-hole and a mouth portion providing access to the interior receptacle. The two-cell container device includes a second housing, the second housing secured within the through-hole, the second housing configured to house at least a pill, wherein the second housing includes a first side including at least a pill receptacle having an opening and a second side adhered to the first side, wherein the second side covers the opening.

A flexible prosthetic inner socket that resides inside of a rigid prosthetic socket that is fabricated by forming a sized, injection molded, flexible inner pre-socket. The flexible inner pre-socket includes a body formed with an opening and an enclosed end. The Pre-socket can be heated and stretched over a prosthetic residual limb model and then a prosthetic rigid socket can be formed over it. It can also be heated and vacuum-formed inside of an existing hard prosthetic socket in order to provide global volume reduction intended to make the rigid prosthetic socket fit tighter onto the residual limb. The opening of the flexible inner socket may be trimmed after the formation to fit contours of an opening of the rigid prosthetic socket.

The invention relates to a method for processing plastic preforms (10) and/or plastic containers (20) by means of at least one first processing apparatus (2), which processes the plastic containers (10, 20) in a first specified manner, and by means of at least one second processing apparatus (4), which processes the plastic containers (10, 20) in a second specified manner and which is arranged before or after the first processing apparatus (2), wherein the plastic containers (10, 20) are transported from one processing apparatus (2, 4) to the other processing apparatus (2, 4) by means of a transport apparatus (5) and the at least first processing apparatus (2) and the at least second processing apparatus (4) are coupled to each other, the first treatment apparatus (2) is a blow-molding machine (25) for shaping plastic preforms (10) to form plastic containers (20), and the process speed of the blow-molding machine (25) is defined by means of a specification, which contains a plurality of process parameters that are characteristic of the shaping process. According to the invention, the process parameters associated with at least one further process speed are at least partially determined on the basis of at least two key specifications, such that the adaptation of the process speed of the blow-molding machine (25) to a speed of at least one further processing apparatus (2, 4) is enabled and/or adjustment of the speed is possible.

There is provided a method for applying a coating layer (10, 14, 2, 4) on a preform (1, 2, 7) for a bag-in-container using plasma deposition. There is also provided a preform (1, 2, 7) for a bag-in-container, comprising an inner preform (8) and an outer preform (9) with facing surfaces, wherein at least one of the facing surfaces comprises a coating layer (10, 14, 2, 4) that is applied using plasma deposition.

Container (1) with a coating layer. The invention is in the field of containers for foods and drinks. There is provided a method for applying a coating layer (2, 4) on a preform (1, 2) for a container (1) using plasma deposition. There is also provided a preform (1, 2) for a container (1), as well as a container (1) obtainable by stretching of the preform (1, 2).

A method for manufacturing a resin container includes: a first injection-molding step of injection-molding a bottomed cylindrical resin intermediate molded body; a second injection-molding step of injection-molding a resin material on an outer side of the intermediate molded body to manufacture a multilayered preform having a resin layer laminated on an outer peripheral side of the intermediate molded body; and a blow-molding step of blow-molding the preform to manufacture a resin container having a thick portion.

Method of moulding a moulding material to form a moulded part of carbon fibre-reinforced resin matrix composite material in which a sheet moulding compound is moulded which can provide panels, for example for use as vehicle body panels, which have the combination of very low thickness, very light weight, very low warping and surface defects, and very low anisotropy with regard to localised fibre and resin distribution and their associated appearance and mechanical properties.

The invention relates to a device for gripping a container preform having a base, a spindle which is mounted on the base, and an ejector at least partially surrounding the spindle. The spinner includes a spindle mounted such that it pivots in a sliding manner in relation to the base and a spinner tip removably fixed to the spindle. The ejector partially surrounds the spinner and is able to occupy a working position in which it is secured to the base. The spinner tip and the ejector are respectively provided with an imprint and a complementary counter-imprint. The ejector can be removed from the base and can occupy a tooling position in which the counterpart thereof cooperates with the cavity of the spinner tip so that they rotate together.

A method for orienting a preform of axis in a forming mold of a blowing machine, a neck of the preform being provided with at least one marker, the method including (i) installing the preform in the mold; (ii) detecting the current angular position of the preform by determining the angle of rotation through which the preform has to be rotated to reach the reference angular position thereof; and (iii) orienting the preform about the axis thereof in relation to the mold until a reference angular position is reached.
