A chassis component (1) for a wheel suspension having at least two pivot points (3, 4), at least one connecting structure (7) which interconnects the pivot points (3, 4) with one another, and at least one sensor (9). The at least one sensor (9) is embodied as a piezoresistive thin film (19) arranged on a section of a surface (8) of the connecting structure (7). A thin film interconnects contact points (15, 16), of at least two conductive sections (13, 14) which are integrated in the connecting structure (7), to one another.

A method for producing a composite component, which has a first section and a second section connected to the first section, the first section including a metallic material, the second section including a plastic, the first section having a first base region and projections provided on the first base region, and the projections provided on the first base region being anchored in the second section in order to bring about the connection between the first section and the second section, includes: manufacturing the first base region of the first section; creating the projections directly on the first base region by way of an additive manufacturing method; and connecting the second section to the first section.

A method produces a fiber composite component according to which a fiber arrangement having carbon fibers as reinforcing fibers is arranged on a carrier material having a fibrous material in order to form a structure. A covering layer having a non-conductive material is arranged on the structure. The carbon fibers are arranged largely in the load path direction of the fiber composite component to be produced, and regions of the fiber composite component to be penetrated by electromagnetic signals and/or waves are configured such that they are largely free of carbon fibers.

A structural member (10) comprising: (i) a pultruded secondary member (14) including a first surface and an opposing second surface; and (ii) a molded carrier (12) overmolded onto at least one of the first and second surface of the pultruded secondary member, the molded carrier including a plurality of ribs (16); wherein the secondary member and the carrier are dissimilar materials.

The present invention relates to a thermoplastic resin composition, a method of preparing the same, and an injection-molded article including the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a thermoplastic resin composition having superior vibration welding properties along with ABS-based resin-specific impact resistance, heat resistance, and the like due to inclusion of an ABS-based graft copolymer including a conjugated diene-based rubber polymer having an average particle diameter of 0.25 to 0.35 μm; a rubber-modified graft copolymer including a diene-based rubber polymer having an average particle diameter of 0.6 to 10 μm and prepared by continuous bulk polymerization; and a matrix resin, and an injection-molded article including the thermoplastic resin composition.

A resin piping assembly including a base divisional component having first and second half components having respective first and second interfacial surfaces formed along an oil passage, and first and second divisional components which have respective third and fourth interfacial surfaces formed along the oil passage, and which are bonded to the respective first and second half components. Each of the base divisional component, and the first and second divisional components is formed of a resin material, and the first and second interfacial surfaces are spaced apart from each other, and open in respective opposite directions. The base divisional component further includes a cylindrical connecting pipe portion having a connecting passage portion which is a part of the oil passage and which is provided for communication between the first and second passage portions. Also disclosed is a process of forming the resin piping assembly.

A panel hemming device includes: a fixing die on which a panel is placed and having a supporting surface stepped upward to be parallel with an end of the panel; a hemming shaft having a first side coupled to a tool and having a second side to which a hemming roller, which contacts a top of the supporting surface when fixed to the fixing die, is coupled; a rotary shaft having a first side coupled to the first side of the hemming shaft to receive torque and having a second side, which contacts a bottom of the fixing die when fixed to the fixing die; and a case supporting an outer surface of the hemming shaft disposed through the case and coupled to a first end of the rotary shaft such that the rotary shaft can rotate upward or downward with respect to the first end.

A method and system for using image analysis to generate an automobile surface protecting device attached with an adhesive are provided. The method includes generating from a scanned three-dimensional image, using one or more image analysis applications, a protective film template for a vehicle panel based on the dimensions of the vehicle panel, a determined transition point, a determined termination point, and a plurality of relief cuts. Generating the protective film template includes converting a three-dimensional protective film template into a two-dimensional protective film template by flattening the protective film template. The method includes transferring the protective film template to the sheet of protective film. The sheet of protective film includes an adhesive and is used to modify an appearance of the vehicle panel by modifying how light reflects off scratches on the vehicle panel.

An article comprising: a carrier (12), activatable material (14) disposed on the carrier, one or more carrier extensions (16) extending from the carrier; wherein the article is adapted to provide sealing, baffling, or reinforcement within a structure's cavity.

A molded article includes a light transmission portion disposed in superposition with a display portion of a display device, the light transmission portion transmitting light from the display portion. Recesses and protrusions are formed on a surface of the light transmission portion opposite to the display portion, and thus the surface has anti-glare properties.
