A method for manufacturing a composite component may include obtaining an image to be projected from an exterior surface of the component, forming an injection mold having a negative of the image formed on a portion of the mold surface, preparing a first surface of a portion of the stock material, placing the stock material into the injection mold, and injecting mold material into the injection mold. The injection mold may cause the mold material to deform the stock material such that the image projects from a second surface of the portion of stock material.

A selectively chrome plated object having a substantially flush interface comprises a first portion formed by injection molding a plateable resin and defining a first top surface, a second portion formed by injection molding a non-plateable resin and defining a second top surface, the second portion sitting proud of the first portion such that the second top surface of the second portion is offset from the first top surface of the first portion, and a third portion formed by a chrome plating process where a chrome plating is applied to the first top surface of the first portion such that a third top surface of the third portion is substantially flush with the second top surface of the second portion.

The present disclosure concerns texturing and/or marking a surface of a plastic article. more specifically processes for creating textures and marking onto a surface made of foamed plastic material to obtain different reflectivity or different shades by selectively modifying the roughness degree of the surface.

The present disclosure relates to a plank with anti-slip function; it belongs to the technical field of plank manufacturing. A plank with anti-slip function includes a support body and an anti-slip body; the anti-slip body has a clamping member; the support body is provided with a plurality of clamping grooves; the clamping groove is provided with at least one limiting part that restricts the clamping member from escaping from the clamping groove. In the present disclosure, by replacing the material of the support body with thermoplastic polyolefin, the cost of the support body is significantly reduced, and the strength is improved; the present disclosure will also provide a matching structure between the support body and the anti-slip body, so that the plank has the advantages of high compressive strength and good surface contact.

A method of augmenting or reconstructing a breast of a patient includes providing an implantable member and implanting the implantable member. The implantable member includes an exterior surface defined by an anterior face and a posterior face, wherein one of the anterior face and the posterior face includes at least one fixation region defined by a texture, roughness or sheen different from a respective texture, roughness or sheen of a balance of said one of the anterior face and posterior face. The implantable member is implanted into a breast of a patient such that the fixation region of the implantable member generally aligns with the pectoralis major muscle group or the pectoralis minor muscle group.

A calendering and stretching plant for producing a stretched mono-material polymer film, including a flat extrusion head placed upstream of a calender, and a stretching unit placed downstream of the calender. The calender includes at least a pair of calendering rollers, including a first calendering roller, or casting roller, and a second calendering roller. or pressing roller. The flat extrusion head is placed at an operating distance X from the calender of between 100 mm and 1000 mm with reference thicknesses of between 500 micron and 50 microns. The greater the thickness, the smaller is the distance X and vice-versa. The casting roller and the pressing roller are provided with a controlled cooling/heating system.

A noise damping fiber for a noise damper for compressed air systems, in particular for brake systems of utility vehicles, has surface grooves formed by surface treatment. A method for producing a noise damping fiber mesh, includes the steps of: forming thermoplastic fibers by a molding tool or an extruding tool; surface treating of the fibers by the molding tool, the extruding tool, or another tool configured to treat the surface of thermoplastic fibers; and knitting, braiding or weaving a plurality of the surfaced treated fibers into a noise damping fiber mesh.

Provided is a tube comprising a tetrafluoroethylene/fluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer, wherein the tube inner surface has a surface roughness Ra of 5 nm or less measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM) with an evaluation length set to 3 m, and the tube has an amount of metals eluted from the tube inner surface of 0.30 ng/cm.sup.2 or less.

The invention provides a biaxially oriented polyester film, which exhibits excellent transparency, is easily subjected to secondary processing, is an environmentally friendly polyester film, and has little variations in physical properties in the machine direction, and a production method therefor. The biaxially oriented polyester film is formed of a polyester resin composition containing particles and 50% by weight or more of a polyester resin composed of biomass-derived ethylene glycol and fossil fuel-derived dicarboxylic acid units, wherein at least one surface of the biaxially oriented polyester film meets requirements (1) to (3): (1) a number of fine protrusions each having a height of less than 3 nm per area of 410.sup.12 m.sup.2 is 250-600; (2) a number of fine protrusions each having a height of 3 nm or more per area of 410.sup.12 m.sup.2 is 300-600; and (3) an arithmetic mean height Sa is 0.010-0.025 m.

The present disclosure provides a polypropylene film including particles.
