A main object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a binder-containing inorganic fiber molded body where localization of the binder is inhibited. The present invention achieves the object by providing a method for manufacturing a binder-containing inorganic fiber molded body including steps of: a binder solution coating step of coating an inorganic fiber molded body with a binder solution, and a liquid coating step of coating the inorganic fiber molded body coated with the binder solution with a liquid of which boiling point is less than 120 C.

Provided is a resin curing device capable of improving work efficiency when curing a liquid resin. A controller (2) of a resin curing device (1) controls opening degrees of three valves (51 to 53) so that a gas flow passage becomes a circulation passage (40) when an execution condition of an operation of feeding air to a curing furnace (10) is satisfied, and controls the opening degrees of the three valves (51 to 53) so that the gas flow passage becomes a bypass passage (41) when the execution condition is not satisfied (STEPS 30 to 41).

The present invention provides a system for monitoring and controlling an industrial paint operation, where a five-sided intermodal shipping container is painted with a water-based coating composition. The system includes a paint application system, a drying system with a chamber configured to handle one or more intermodal shipping containers, and modules for monitoring and controlling the application of paint and the drying of the applied paint.

A method for sealing a joint gap between mutually joined elements, at least one of which is a sheet, by applying a joint gap seal involves preheating an area of the joined elements to which the joint gap seal is to be applied. A polymer powder is introduced into a plasma jet to form a plasma and powder jet directed towards the preheated region of the elements. Polymer particles melted in the plasma and powder jet are deposited as joint gap seal.

A low-reflection coated glass sheet of the present invention includes a glass sheet and a low-reflection coating. The low-reflection coating is formed on at least a portion of one principal surface of the glass sheet and contains a binder containing silica as a main component, fine silica particles bound by the binder, and fine titania particles bound by the binder. The low-reflection coating satisfies the following relationships: 30 mass %<C.sub.SP<68 mass %; 12 mass %C.sub.TP<50 mass %; 20 mass %<C.sub.Binder<43.75 mass %; C.sub.TP/C.sub.Binder0.6; C.sub.Binder<25 mass % in the case of C.sub.SP55 mass %; and C.sub.TP>20 mass % in the case of C.sub.SP<55 mass %. The low-reflection coated glass sheet has a transmittance gain of 2.0% or more.

A gas barrier film formed of a cured product of a mixture including a polycarboxylic acid, a polyamine compound, and a polyvalent metal compound, in which in an infrared absorption spectrum of the gas barrier film, an area ratio of an amide bond represented by B/A is equal to or less than 0.380, an area ratio of a carboxylic acid represented by C/A is equal to or less than 0.150, and an area ratio of carboxylate represented by D/A is equal to or more than 0.520.

A masking member includes: a masking main body that is formed of an elastic material and that closes an opening portion of a hollow member by being inserted into the opening portion; and a passage portion that is formed at the masking main body, that opens on an outer peripheral surface of the masking main body, and that connects an outside and an inside of the hollow member by at least a part of an opening at the outer peripheral surface being exposed to the outside of the hollow member in a case in which the masking main body, in a state of closing the opening portion, moves in a direction opposite from an insertion direction.

A pipe doping apparatus comprises a bucket assembly including a base and a bucket supported on the base and having an inside volume, a lubricating unit having at least one lubricant applicator inside the bucket; and a source of torque configured to rotate the bucket and/or the lubricating unit relative to a tubular. The apparatus may include a cleaning unit and/or a drying unit and the source of torque may be a fluid jet in either. At least one lubricant applicator may be retractable and may be actuated between a retracted position and an extended position by centripetal force. The apparatus may further include a positioning assembly supporting the base and the rotary bucket assembly and a controller connected to and controlling each of: the positioning assembly, the cleaning unit, the drying unit, and the lubricating unit.

The disclosure relates to a method for coating an optical lens having a main surface at least partly covered with lenslets. The optical lens is dipped in a coating fluid, withdrawn to reach an initial position defined so that said main surface faces towards a first, horizontal, direction, and the coating fluid coating said optical lens is dried. After withdrawing the optical lens and before or while drying the coating fluid, the optical lens is tilted to a final position defined so that said main surface faces upwards towards a final direction having an angle comprised between 80? and 100? with respect to the first direction, the first and final directions defining a vertical plane. Alternately or in combination, while withdrawing said optical lens, part of the coating fluid is removed from the optical lens by sliding said optical lens along a mechanical blade.

A paint curing system is provided. The paint curing system includes a robot arm, a first light, a lamp panel, and a control module. The robot arm includes a first end and a second end that opposes the first end. The first light is disposed at the second end of the robot arm and is configured to cure paint on a first panel of a vehicle. The lamp panel is positioned adjacent to the vehicle and includes a second light that is configured to cure paint on a second panel of the vehicle. The control module configured to actuate the robot arm and position the first light relative to the first panel of the vehicle, selectively turn on and off the first light, and selectively turn on and off the second light.
