Provided is a resin sheet for molding, which is provided with a base material layer that contains a polycarbonate resin (a1), a high hardness resin layer that contains a high hardness resin, and a hard coat anti-glare layer, and which is configured such that: the high hardness resin layer is arranged between the base material layer and the hard coat anti-glare layer; the glass transition points of the polycarbonate resin (a1) and the high hardness resin satisfy the relational expression −10° C.≤(glass transition point of high hardness resin)−(glass transition point of polycarbonate resin (a1))≤40° C.; and two protective films are superposed and bonded onto both surfaces of the resin sheet.

A polymeric pane, having a polymeric main body with a first pane surface, a second pane surface, a peripheral pane edge, and a protective coating on the entire second pane surface and on at least part of the first pane surface. An extruded-on sealing profile is mounted on the side of the first pane surface via an adhesion promoter.

A catheter assembly includes an inner liner made of flexible material and an outer layer having a steering mechanism. A catheter assembly is provided that includes an inner liner made of flexible material, and an outer layer having a steering mechanism that includes at least one wire and a corresponding lumen for each of the at least one wire through which the respective wire may travel. The outer layer includes a braided wire assembly that includes at least two wires braided into a wire mesh, and further includes a see-through portion positioned proximate a pull wire extraction location to facilitate extraction.

An apparatus for making a foam material body has a mold comprising at least two mold halves fittable together to form separate first and second mold cavities; a first sprue opening into the first mold cavity, and a second sprue opening into the second mold cavity. The mold parts can be moved between an open and a closed position. Foam can be injected into the first and second mold cavities through the respective sprues. A passage, for example, connects the sprue with the mold cavity. The first mold cavity and the second mold cavity are partitioned from one another in the closed position of the mold.

Systems and methods suitable for making skin-formulation applicators through additive manufacturing are described.

Balloon catheter comprises an elongate catheter shaft having a proximal section, a distal section, and an inflation lumen defined therein and a multilayer balloon on the distal section of the shaft comprising a first layer made of a first polymer material having a first Shore durometer hardness, a second layer made of a second polymer material having a second Shore durometer hardness greater than the first Shore durometer hardness, wherein the second layer is an inner layer relative to the first layer, and a third layer made of a third polymer material having a third Shore durometer hardness less the first Shore durometer hardness, wherein the third layer is an inner layer relative to the second layer. Method of making a balloon catheter is also provided.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing thermoplastic polyurethane pellets by means of reactive extrusion of: a long macrodiol with a molecular weight of 500 to 3000 g/mol; a diisocyanate; at least one chain extender comprising a dianhydrohexitol; and a polymerization catalyst. The invention also relates to the resulting thermoplastic polyurethane pellets.

A drain valve for a compressed air brake system of a vehicle comprises a valve housing defining a valve chamber open at one end and a drain aperture at the opposite end. A poppet has a poppet body at least partially received in the valve chamber and provided with a seal. The poppet is slidable between a closed position in which the poppet and the seal contact the inner wall of the valve housing around the drain aperture thereby closing the drain aperture, and an open position moved away from the drain aperture. A spring urges the poppet to the closed position. The poppet and the seal are incorporated in a single multi-component injection molded plastic part comprising at least two components. The poppet body is formed of a first plastic component and the seal is formed of a second plastic component partially embedded in the first plastic component.

A marking strip has a plurality of marking elements which are connected to each other by a connecting region. The marking strip having the marking elements is designed to mark electrical devices, in particular electrical devices that can be arranged next to each other such as terminal blocks. Each of the marking elements has a marking plate including at least one writing field which can be provided with information. On the side facing away from the writing field, each of the marking elements has a locking contour which is integrally connected with the marking plate. The marking strip is formed of at least two different plastic materials of different hardness. The locking contour of each marking element is formed of a harder plastic material, and the marking plate is formed of a softer plastic material at least in the region of the writing field. The connecting region between the marking elements is formed of the softer plastic material.

The manufacturing method of the sheet having the needle-like protruding portions includes: preparing a mold including needle-like recessed portions, and a solution supply device including a slit-like opening formed at a nozzle distal end portion; supplying a solution from the solution supply device to the mold in a state that the nozzle distal end portion is pressed to a front surface of the mold, and filling the solution in the needle-like recessed portions; and moving the solution supply device relatively to the mold in a state that the nozzle distal end portion is brought into contact with the front surface of the mold, and, as a hardness distribution in a thickness direction of the mold, an average value of a Young's modulus at a part within 40 μm from the front surface of the mold is 1.9 MPa or higher and 100 MPa or lower.
