The present invention relates to a crash pad for a vehicle and a manufacturing method thereof. In one embodiment, the method for manufacturing the crash pad for the vehicle comprises a step of injecting a skin foam-forming composition between a lower mold having a color coating layer formed thereon and an upper mold having a core layer formed thereon, foaming the injected skin foam-forming composition to form a skin foam layer, wherein the color coating layer is formed by applying the color coating composition to the inside surface of the lower mold and curing the applied color coating composition.

Methods of manufacturing pre-fabricated insulated wall structures are described in this specification. The methods include (a) attaching a foam panel to a front frame surface of a substantially horizontally positioned frame; (b) placing the frame having the foam panel attached thereto on a track conveyor configured to convey the frame having the foam panel attached thereto in a substantially upright position; (c) conveying the frame having the foam panel attached thereto on the track conveyer in a substantially upright position to a spray foam application station; and (d) spray applying a spray foam composition into a cavity of the frame to form a substantially upright positioned wall structure having a foam layer deposited in the cavity in which the foam layer adheres to the foam panel. Also disclosed are track conveyors suitable for use in such methods.

Methods of manufacturing wall structures having high racking strength are described in this specification. The methods include spray applying a foam-forming composition into a cavity of a wall structure, wherein the wall structure is disposed in a climate-controlled spray application station and allowing the foam-forming material to expand within at least a portion of the cavity to form a foam layer deposited in the cavity. In the methods, the foam layer is formed in-situ during the manufacturing method, and the density of the foam layer is selected and the relative humidity and dew point of the air in the climate-controlled spray application station throughout the spray applying is selected so that the wall structure has a racking strength of at least 500 pounds per linear foot.

The object of the present invention is to provide a plastic image fiber having a small optical transmission loss. The plastic image fiber comprises N (where N is an integer equal to or greater than 2) number of cores which are disposed within a cladding. The each of the cores has an index of reflection that continuously changes at a peripheral part of the core. The index of reflection at the peripheral part on a center side of the core is greater than an index of reflection at the peripheral part on a cladding side.

A seat pad with improved thermal comfort and improved vibration absorptivity and a seat pad manufacturing method for easily obtaining the seat pad are provided. In the seat pad (1), when a surface portion (2) up to 10 mm from a surface (1f) is cut out and the air permeability AR1 of the surface portion (2) is measured in compliance with JIS K 6400, the air permeability AR1 is more than 5 cc/cm.sup.2/sec and 25 cc/cm.sup.2/sec or less. The seat pad manufacturing method is a seat pad manufacturing method for obtaining the seat pad (1) by supplying a molding material into a molding die and performing foam molding. As the molding die, a molding die an inner surface of which is covered with polystyrene or polyethylene is used.

A simulated brick includes a polymeric core member (20), a mesh layer (30) adhered to the core member, a basecoat layer (43) covering an entirety of the mesh layer, and a finish layer (46) covering an entirety of the basecoat layer. The core member, the mesh layer, the basecoat layer, and the finish layer together define a brick profile portion (11) having first and second lateral sides extending to a planar outer surface to define a first thickness, and an offset portion (12) extending from the first lateral side of the brick profile portion to a lateral end surface and having an outer surface defining a second thickness smaller than the first thickness, the brick profile portion and the offset portion together defining a planar rectangular base surface (16) extending from the second lateral side of the brick profile portion to the lateral end surface of the offset portion.

A method of manufacturing a developer container including a frame configured to define a developer containing portion, a first electrode, and a second electrode arranged on a surface of the frame and having a surface opposed to the first electrode, a developer amount in the developer containing portion being detected based on a capacitance between the first electrode and the second electrode, the method including: holding a conductive resin member constituting the second electrode on a mold configured to mold the frame, a surface of the conductive resin member being in contact with a surface of the mold configured to mold a surface of the frame on a side of the developer containing portion; injecting a resin to be formed into the frame, into the mold on which the conductive resin member is held; and curing the resin to form the frame to which the second electrode is fixed.

The invention relates to a method for producing a rotor blade by arranging foam (23, 24) in a semi-finished product, introducing resin into the foam-containing semi-finished product, and curing the introduced resin while heat is dissipated and a curing temperature distribution is obtained, a first foam (23) being arranged in regions of the semi-finished product with a higher curing temperature, and a second foam (24) in regions with a lower curing temperature, and a foam with a higher temperature resistance than the second foam (24) being chosen as the first foam (23).
