A method for producing a new electrolyzer by arranging an electrode for electrolysis and a new membrane in an existing electrolyzer. The method includes a releasing process (A2) of releasing an integration of an anode frame and a cathode frame to expose a membrane, a removing process (B2) of removing the membrane after the releasing process (A2) and arranging the electrode for electrolysis and new membrane on the anode or cathode, and an integrating process (C2) of integrating the anode frame and the cathode frame to store the anode, the cathode, the membrane, the electrode for electrolysis, and the new membrane into the electrolytic cell frame.

A screen protector film applicator includes a base. The base is provided with a screen accommodating space. The left and right sides of the screen accommodating space are provided with a left accommodating cavity and a right accommodating cavity, respectively. The front side of the screen accommodating space is provided with a front opening. The rear side of the screen accommodating space is provided with a pull-out opening. The center of the screen accommodating space is provided with a cushioning block. The left accommodating cavity is provided with left positioning posts. The right accommodating cavity is provided with right positioning posts. The technical solutions of the present invention have a simple structure and is easy to operate without the turning to professionals of applicating screen protector films or very strong hands-on skills that ordinary consumers can operate.

Square symmetric composite laminate structures, and sub-modules thereof, are provided, along with methods of forming the same. The square symmetric laminate structures include two or more sub-laminate modules, each comprising: a first ply set consisting of a first ply layer oriented at a first angle and a second ply layer oriented at a second angle, a first sum of the first and second angles being ninety degrees; and a second ply set consisting of a third ply layer oriented at a third angle and a fourth ply layer oriented at a fourth angle, a second sum of the third and fourth angles being ninety degrees; wherein the second ply layer is positioned adjacent the third ply layer and the second and third ply layers are both positioned intermediate the first and fourth ply layers, thereby defining a double-double helix arrangement of the respective ply layers. Associated methods are also provided.

A jig for laminate production for producing a laminate of an electrode for electrolysis and a membrane. The jig includes a roll for an electrode around which an elongate electrode for electrolysis is wound, and a roll for a membrane around which an elongate membrane is wound.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a flexible and stretchable textile composite including an electrophoretic film. According to one embodiment, a textile composite material can comprise a textile base layer, a first flexible, optically transparent film layer deposited onto and affixed to the textile base layer, and an electrophoretic film layer disposed onto the first flexible, optically transparent film layer on a side of the first flexible, optically transparent film layer opposite the textile base layer. The electrophoretic film layer can comprise a plurality of relief cuts therein. The plurality of relief cuts can allow the electrophoretic film layer to flex or stretch in at least one direction.

A method of manufacturing a workpiece includes heating a pre-formed blank of a first fiber reinforced thermoplastic material in an oven. A second fiber reinforced thermoplastic material is heated in an extruder. The second fiber reinforced thermoplastic material is extruded from the extruder, within the oven, to form an extrudate. The extrudate is positioned on the pre-formed blank of the first fiber reinforced thermoplastic material, within the oven, to form a composite blank. The extrudate may be formed into a shape before being positioned onto the pre-formed blank, after being positioned onto the pre-formed blank. The composite blank may then be transferred to a final shaping station.

Methods and apparatus for manufacturing a circular laminated component are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method comprises stamping an inlet stock of material to form a line of arc segments, the line of arc segments having: a plurality of notches along a first edge; a first longitudinal end; and a second longitudinal end opposite the first longitudinal end; wrapping the line of arc segments to form a circular segment having the first edge along an inner-circumferential diameter of the circular segment; joining the first longitudinal end to the second longitudinal end to form a circular laminate layer; and stacking a plurality of circular laminate layers to form a laminate disc.

A positive transport of carbon fiber bundles, in ribbon form, with in-line manipulation of the fiber bundles (spreading or spreading and volumization with manipulators) during fiber bundle transport to points of fiber bundle deliveries into the circular loom bed plate turntable is described herein. The automated placements of these deliveries of the fiber bundle/tow at selected orientations in the area correspond to the feeding zone of an improved circular loom bed plate turntable.

A method and apparatus for forming a composite part. An apparatus comprises a tooling plate, a tab co-bonded with the tooling plate, and a group of alignment features associated with the tab. The tooling plate is configured for use with a tool to form a composite part. The group of alignment features is configured to position the tooling plate with respect to the tool used to form the composite part.

The lamination apparatus includes a panel member conveying line for conveying the panel member from an entrance part to an exit part, a first lamination unit provided between the entrance part and the exit part, a second lamination unit provided between the entrance part and the exit part of the panel member conveying line, at the exit part side of the first lamination unit, a first film conveying line for supplying an optical film laminate from a transverse direction with respect to the panel member conveying line between the first lamination unit and the second lamination unit for conveying to the first lamination unit, and a second film conveying line for supplying a second optical film laminate from a transverse direction with respect to the panel member conveying line between the first film supplying unit and the first lamination unit for conveying to the second lamination unit.
