A method for producing a plastic vehicle attachment part is described, wherein a polymeric film is laid in an injection mold, the polymeric film having an opaque or semi-opaque imprint or a color pigmentation. The polymeric film is back injected with a polymeric covering part, wherein the polymeric covering part is optically transparent. A polymeric carrier part is sprayed at least on a part of the surface of the polymeric covering part facing away from the polymeric film. A protective layer is applied at least on the polymeric film.

The present invention relates to a process for the production of virtual three-dimensional patterns in mouldings, in particular to an injection-moulding process for the production of mouldings having a virtual three-dimensional pattern which is formed by flake-form effect pigments, to the mouldings produced by means of this process, and to the use thereof, in particular for decorative purposes.

A method of forming packaged lens modules is disclosed which includes: securing first ends of a plurality of lens modules equidistantly on a first mold plate; providing a second mold plate matching with second ends of the lens modules and securing the second mold plate on the second ends of the lens modules; filling a black material in gaps between the lens modules; and removing the first and second mold plates after the black material is cured and performing a dicing process. The method can effectively block lens openings to protect lenses from being contaminated and can eliminate the need for adhesive application and removal generally performed on second ends of the lens modules, thereby resulting in time savings and an efficiency improvement. Additionally, a height of the resulting packaged lens modules can be modified for back focal length compensation thereof by changing the size of the second mold plate.

The invention relates to a radome having an essentially planar front panel which is of transparent design at the front and which is provided with a non-transparent layer on the rear, in particular for a radar sensor for a motor vehicle.

A method for manufacturing microneedle devices and systems and tools for implementing same. The method can include manufacturing a replica mold and forming a microneedle array via the replica mold. The replica mold can be manufactured by disposing replica mold material on a master mold and curing the replica mold material. To reduce manufacturing time, the replica mold material preferably is cured at a high temperature for a relatively short time and then cooled quickly before removal from the master mold. The microneedle array can be formed by disposing microneedle material on the replica mold under vacuum and drying the microneedle material in single or successive disposing and drying operations. One or more optional backing layers can be added to the microneedle array when forming the microneedle device. Advantageously, the disclosed methods, systems and tools can be used to manufacture skin-applied patches for delivering cosmetic and therapeutic agents.

A method for manufacturing a decorative molded article includes first to fourth steps. In the first step, a plastic sheet is secured to a cavity block in a state in which first and second portions are arranged along an open end of a molding recess. The plastic sheet is tightly held by the cavity block and a securing member at the first portions and is not tightly held at the second portions. In the second step, the plastic sheet is deformed. In the third step, the plastic sheet is secured to the cavity block in a state in which the plastic sheet is tightly held by the cavity block and the securing member over the entire periphery of the opening of the molding recess. In the fourth step, the plastic sheet is molded by being caused to closely contact the molding surface of the cavity block through vacuum suction.

A polymeric vehicle glazing is described, having an outer face and an inner face, with a transparent polymeric component at the outer face and the inner face. An opaque polymeric component is flush mounted at the inner face in at least one section of the transparent polymeric component.

A plastic glazing of a tailgate of a vehicle is provided, the plastic glazing comprising: a first translucent component comprising a full panel of the plastic glazing; a second translucent component molded onto the first translucent component, wherein the second translucent component is a colored thermoplastic polymer, wherein the plastic glazing is of one-piece molded plastic construction, wherein at least one of the first translucent component and the second translucent component comprises one or more aerodynamic features, wherein the one or more aerodynamic features are each configured to reduce one or more of: a turbulence, a drag force, and a lift force.

A resin-molded component includes a first molding part, and a second molding part. A portion of the first molding part and a portion of the second molding part are laminated in a direction of connecting an outer surface and an inner surface of the resin-molded component to provide a laminated portion. A portion of the second molding part is provided as an exposed portion. Each of portions of the laminated portion is located at least on opposite sides across the exposed portion. A one-side surface of the exposed portion in the laminating direction of the laminated portion is configured as a portion of the outer surface and the other-side surface thereof is configured as a portion of the inner surface.
