A method for manufacturing a lighting button key is provided. The method includes forming a button body by processing a metal plate, attaching a thin film to the button body and performing double etching on a rear surface of the button body to process a symbol pattern. Additionally, the method includes press-forming the rear surface of the button body and an injection material of a transparent or translucent material into the rear surface of the button body to perform injection molding.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a refrigerator dispenser lever and a method for manufacturing the same. The lever is capable of reducing post-process activity required to assemble the components, enhancing a sense of unity between components and improving the quality and appearance of the lever by combining individual components during manufacturing using a single injection molding process.

A method of making an iridescent badge that includes: embossing a diffraction grating into a polymeric film to form a diffraction film; positioning the diffraction film in a mold; and injecting a translucent polymeric material into the mold over the diffraction film to form a vehicular badge. Further, the diffraction grating has a thickness from 250 nm to 1000 nm and a period from 50 nm to 5 microns. Another method of making an iridescent badge includes: heating a diffraction film positioned in a mold; applying a vacuum to form the film against a mold surface; and injecting a translucent polymeric material over the mold surface to form a vehicular badge. Further, the diffraction film comprises a polymeric material and a diffraction grating having a thickness from 250 nm to 1000 nm and a period from 50 nm to 5 microns.

Described herein are systems and methods for postoperative soft tissue care that can be effective to control swelling and/or support an intended outcome following a cosmetic or reconstructive procedure.

An injection molded part for a motor vehicle includes a film layer having a film main portion and a film first side portion that ends in a first film side surface, wherein the film first side portion extends from the film main portion in a direction different than a plane defined by the film main portion. The film layer also includes a film outer surface and a film inner surface disposed opposite the film outer surface. A first polymer layer is in contact with the film inner surface. A second polymer layer is in contact with the film outer surface, the film first side surface and the first polymer layer.

Articles of manufacture possessing corrosion resistance characteristics are described, in particular for use in the chlor-alkali and other industries. The articles are formed from a resin composition, e.g., a cyclic olefin composition, polymerized with a Group 8 olefin metathesis catalyst. In particular aspects, an electrolytic cell component, such as a cell cover for use in the electrolysis of brine, may be formed from the resin composition. Among other benefits, such articles provide improved corrosion resistance compared to articles molded from other resin compositions, such as fiberglass reinforced polyesters and vinyl esters, and two-component dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) resins comprising molybdenum or tungsten pre-catalysts.

Thermal imaging camera images are obtained from a thermal imaging camera that rotates through a plurality of stop positions. The camera captures images at a constant frame rate and at least some of the images correspond to stop positions. Thermal imaging camera images that correspond to a stop position are retained, while images that do not correspond to a stop position are discarded. Retained images are sent in a video stream to a video processor. The video stream is separated into individual thermal imaging camera images and stored for corresponding virtual camera devices that correspond to specific stop positions. In addition, the position of the camera and individual pixels of images are both correlated to geographical location data, and depth values for the pixels are determined based on the geographical data.

A method of producing a moulded article comprising a thermoset polymer and particles of porous natural materials, such as wood materials, and uses thereof. The composite material has a continuous matrix of a hardened thermoset polymer and, distributed within the matrix, and the particles are at least partially encased by the thermoset polymer. The method comprises the steps of providing a mould with two opposite pressing surfaces, said pressing surfaces defining a space between them; feeding particles of porous natural materials into the space between the pressing surfaces; advancing the surfaces towards each other to compress the particles in said space; feeding unhardened thermoset resin in liquid form into the mould so as to fill at least said space between pressing surfaces while keeping the particles compressed between the pressing surfaces; and curing the thermoset resin in the mould to provide a moulded composite article.
