The invention relates to a sealing system for sealing adjacent machine parts, in particular molding tool parts for foaming vehicle parts. The sealing system comprises a sealing device for sealing adjacent machine parts and a light output device which is arranged in such a way that the light output device can illuminate a portion of the sealing device.

A blow bottle includes an outer layer and an inner layer, wherein the inner layer has blackness higher than that of the outer layer, and wherein the outer layer has an L* value of 20 or more and 90 or less in an International Commission on Illumination (CIE) L*a*b* color system.

A lure includes one or more cores having a surface shape and coloration configured to represent an anatomy of a food for a game fish with one or more outer portions of translucent material disposed thereabout. The outer portion is at least partially flexible with one or more outer fins and/or tails configured to cause the lure to move through water in conformance with a mode of transit. The core presents a three-dimensional appearance of a schooling baitfish, a bottom baitfish, a crustacean, an amphibian, a worm, a grub, an insect, a spider, a leech, or another creature that is attractive to fish. The core may include a surface shape and/or coloration that represents a mouth, an eye, a fin, and/or one or more gills or opercles. The core may be formed around a rigid object such as a hook, a line leader, or a weight.

An orthodontic appliance shaped to receive teeth. The orthodontic appliance can be constructed from a laminate structure with a outer transparent layer and an inner translucent layer. The translucent layer can scatter light to decrease a relative degree or perceived gloss to the human eye, and hence provide a more natural appearance to the orthodontic appliance.

A plastic glazing of a tailgate of a vehicle is provided, the plastic glazing comprising: a first translucent component; a second translucent component molded onto the first translucent component, wherein the second translucent component comprises a color, wherein the plastic glazing is of one-piece molded plastic construction, wherein an overlapping portion of the first translucent component and the second translucent component forms a lens of a first molded light assembly.

A dryer unit for a vehicle wash system including an upper head portion with an air inlet. An impeller having a plurality of vanes rotatably disposed adjacent the air inlet. The impeller configured to rotate in a predetermined direction about an axis of rotation to draw air into the upper head portion through the air inlet. A flow channel formed in the upper head portion around a periphery of the impeller. A cut-off portion located adjacent a discharge area of the flow channel. A body portion disposed generally beneath the upper head portion with respect to a direction of fluid flow through the dryer unit. A plurality of outlet nozzle portions integrally formed with the body portion and in fluid communication with the air inlet. The plurality of nozzle portions configured to direct high velocity air flow toward a vehicle treatment area. At least one of the plurality of nozzles being located above the cut-off portion.

A method for manufacturing an element for a bodywork part successively including the steps of producing a support element having a first face on which a support sheet is fixed having at least one connection member, arranging a heating track on the support element, the heating track being arranged on the first face of the support element, connecting the heating track to the connection member, and arranging the support element in a molding chamber of a mold defining the shape of the element for a bodywork part, the first face of the support element facing the inside of the molding chamber, and injecting a plastic material into the molding chamber in order to cover the heating track.

The present invention is related to translucent building elements, and more specifically to their manufacture. The present invention comprises a method for the manufacture of an insulating core element for a translucent building element, an insulating core element for a translucent building element, a method for the manufacture of a translucent building element, a translucent building element, a method for the manufacture of a translucent building wall, a translucent building wall, and a method for the manufacture of a multiple of stacked rows of elongated light-conducting elements for an insulating core element.

A three dimensional printing system which creates a multiple color printed structure which may be e.g. an inflatable likeness. The printing is done with a stretchy material such as silicone and is printed in layers of different color in order to match the designed likeness colors. In preferred embodiments, the 3d printing is done inside a gel suspension with a specialized print head which dispenses silicone in layers of color to produce the final desired color of silicone in the particular locations as determined by the avatar or likeness design.
