An object of the present invention is to provide a thin and lightweight polarizing lens for use in lightweight sunglasses (in particular, rimless sunglasses) while maintaining the clamping force and mechanical strength of a temple part, and a manufacturing method therefor. The values of: the center thickness v of a polarizing lens A including an injection-molded layer 3 laminated on at least one surface of a polarizing sheet B, the injection-molded layer having a polyamide-based resin; and the flexural modulus of the injection-molded layer 3 are adjusted, thus the predetermined clamping force and mechanical strength of a temple part are obtained even in the case of sunglasses with the thin and lightweight polarizing lens.

A preform including: an opening portion; a body portion; and a bottom portion, the preform having a two-layer structure in which the body portion and the bottom portion include an inner layer made of a virgin material and an outer layer made of a recycled material, in which a weight ratio of the recycled material to a total weight of the preform is 50% by weight or more, a ratio of a thickness of the outer layer to a thickness of the inner layer in the body portion is 1.5 or more, and a haze of a body portion of a container molded from the preform is 1.8% or less.

A vehicle component construct and process of making the same including a frame formed of a composite sandwich panel material and a window formed of a transparent resin within the frame. The composite sandwich panel material of the frame including an open area core defining a plurality of pores, a high gloss surface sheet adhered to a first face of the open area core by a first adhesive layer, and a structural skin adhered to a second face of the open area core by a second adhesive layer. The frame defining a through opening that extends from an exterior surface of the frame to an oppositely opposed interior surface of the frame. The window being formed within the through opening of the frame.

Biodegradable drinking straws and methods of making biodegradable drinking straws. The drinking straws are thin and functional, having a tactile feel similar to conventional drinking straws, and are biodegradable in 12 months or less. The drinking straws use less material while maintaining high thickness uniformity, reducing cost and increasing structural integrity.

The invention relates to the use of at least one impact modifier having a refractive index IR.sub.1 in a polyamide matrix consisting of a mixture of amorphous polyamide and semicrystalline polyamide, said matrix having a refractive index IR2, the difference in absolute value of IR.sub.1-IR.sub.2 not exceeding 0.006, to produce a transparent composition having a fatigue strength, under the fatigue test referred to as notched “Ross-Flex”, greater than 50 000 at −10° C.

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.

The disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a decorative molded body and a method for manufacturing a processed product using the decorative molded body. The method for manufacturing the decorative molded body includes: a film preparation step of molding a decorative film in a planar shape; a molding preparation step of, in a mold, disposing a transparent layer as an insert and disposing the decorative film of the planar shape; and a film forming step of, while supplying in the mold a material of a molded layer and molding the molded layer, forming the decorative film to follow an unevenness of a back surface of the transparent layer.

A manufacturing method of an image pickup apparatus for endoscope includes: fabricating a first optical wafer and a second optical wafer including spacers; disposing walls made of a first resin, being greater in height than the spacers, and enclosing optical paths without any gap; clamping the first optical wafer and the second optical wafer with the walls being interposed between the first optical wafer and the second optical wafer; charging a second resin around the walls; performing curing treatment on the second resin to cause the second resin to shrink, and fix the first optical wafer and the second optical wafer in a state where an interval between the first optical wafer and the second optical wafer is defined by the spacers; and cutting a bonded wafer.

A golf ball manufacturing method includes an inner layer molding step of molding an inner layer that includes an outer surface with a recess, an inner film formation step, after the inner layer molding step, of coating the outer surface of the inner layer with inner film paint to form an inner film, an inner film removal step, after the inner film formation step, of removing the inner film except for a portion thereof covering a surface of the recess to obtain an inner ball that includes the inner layer and the inner film, and a cover layer molding step, after the inner film removal step, of molding a cover layer that includes an outer surface with dimples on an outer circumferential side of the inner ball to obtain a golf ball. The inner layer and inner film are different colors, and the cover layer is transparent or semi-transparent.

This present invention pertains to a method and apparatus to create a decorative drinking straw that is thermally insulated. Its tube in tube construction protects the decorative content from leaching pigment and chemicals into a beverage. The tube in tube construction also prevents fading, peeling, scratching, and abrasive damage to the decorative content.
