METHOD OF MANUFACTURING HEAT-RESISTANT CONTAINER

Upon manufacturing a heat-resistant container using PET sheet, high heat-resistance is achieved without a stretching operation. The method comprises a molding sheet-making process, wherein a sheet is made including organic acid metal salt particulates produced by allowing an inorganic basic material or carbonate that is solid at ordinary temperature to react with an organic acid that is solid at ordinary temperature in the equivalent relationship, and a container-molding process, wherein, the molding sheet made in the molding sheet-making process is heated to 80-130° C., formed into a container shape by a vacuum or vacuum-pressure forming machine using a mold, and heat-set by keeping at 130-220° C. in the same mold, and the container formed in the container-molding process has a crystallinity of 18% or more.

20220032510 · 2022-02-03 ·

A method for producing an elastomeric skin having visually spotted appearance may include providing a liquid skin forming composition having solid spot forming particles having a longest dimension that is at least 40 μm and spraying the liquid skin forming composition in the form of a spray of droplets onto a mold surface. The provision of solid spot forming particles that are comparable in size to the droplet size may aid in projecting the solid spot forming particles forward upon impact on the mold surface such that a percentage thereof appear visible on the front face of the elastomeric skin after demolding thereby resulting in a front face with a spotted appearance without having to use multiple liquid skin forming compositions.

The outer cover (26, 126, 226) can include at least one opaque region (64, 164, 264) and a first indicator region (66, 166, 266). The first indicator region (66, 166, 266) can have a light transmittance that is greater than a light transmittance of the at least one opaque region (64, 164, 264). At least a portion of the first indicator region (66, 166, 266) can be located between the first longitudinal edge (36) of the absorbent body (35) and the first coupling length (45) of the first containment flap (44) in at least the crotch region (16) of the absorbent article (10, 110, 210).

INTEGRATED DEPTH SENSOR WINDOW LENS AND METHOD

A method of making an integrated depth sensor window lens, such as for an augmented reality (AR) head set, the depth sensor window lens comprising a sensor lens and an illuminator lens separated by an opaque dam. The method uses a two-shot injection molding process, a first shot comprising an optically clear polymeric material to form the sensor lens and the illuminator lens and the second shot comprising an opaque polymeric material to form the separator of the two.
