An apparatus and a method for preparing a multi-directional continuous fiber-reinforced composite material. The apparatus includes an electrostatic fiber-splitting device configured to controllably split a fiber bundle, a powder spreading device configured to spread a powder, and a pre-press molding device configured to cut the fiber and compact the powder. The electrostatic fiber-splitting device includes a rotatable fiber-splitting table. The pressing plate is controlled by an electromagnet, and the pressing plate is energized to generate a high-voltage electrostatic field to disperse the continuous fiber bundle into monofilament fibers.

This document describes systems and processes for forming synthetic molded slabs, which may be suitable for use in living or working spaces (e.g., along a countertop, table, floor, or the like).

A method of producing concrete blocks for creating a surface covering, wherein each concrete block comprises a multiple-layer concrete block body with at least one level concrete block underside and, opposite the at least one level concrete black underside, an essentially flat concrete block upper side, wherein the multi-layer concrete block body comprises a first concrete block layer designed as a facing concrete layer and forming the concrete block upper surface, at least one second concrete block layer designed as a core concrete layer, as well as at least one third concrete block layer forming the concrete block underside. In the method at least one formwork is provided.

The invention relates to mechanical arm material distribution equipment capable of realizing consistence between a whole-body texture and surface decoration patterns of a ceramic tile and a control method thereof. The mechanical arm material distribution equipment consists of a block-shaped pattern material distribution mechanism assembly, a texture pattern material distribution mechanism assembly, and a press which are arranged in order. The control method comprises the following steps: (1) supplying power to start the mechanical arm material distribution equipment; (2) detecting whether a material level signal exists; (3) if YES, stopping operating stepless variable speed motors; (4) if NOT, operating the stepless variable speed motors; (5) detecting again whether a material level signal exists; (6) if YES, stopping operating the stepless variable speed motors; (7) if NOT, operating the stepless variable speed motors; and (8) repeating steps (2)-(7) until the equipment stops.

The present invention relates to an electrostatic chuck heater having a bipolar structure, the electrostatic chuck heater comprising: a heater body having an internal electrode and an external electrode for selectively performing any one of an RF grounding function and an electrostatic chuck function according to a semiconductor process mode; and a heater support mounted below the heater body so as to support the heater body.

A plant for manufacturing ceramic articles comprising two feeding devices, each of which is designed to contain a powder material of a respective type and to feed said powder material to a conveyor assembly; the plant further comprises an operating device which is designed to enable the output of the powder material selectively in the area of the feeding devices arranged successively and transversely to the feeding direction, and a control unit which controls the operating device depending on a desired reference distribution and how far the conveyor assembly feeds the powder material.

The invention is a machine for producing decorative aggregate G-layer on top surfaces of claddings in cooperation with a cladding manufacturing machine. The G-layer production machine may be integrated into the cladding manufacturing machine or a standalone machine. In both options, the machines synchronize the overlaying of the top G-layer with the manufacturing process of the claddings to ensure continuous production of multi-layer claddings with a decorative aggregate layer. The overlaying itself is done under controlled condition to produce homogenous distribution of the aggregates on the top surface of the claddings to provide them an aesthetic look.

Provided are systems and methods for forming a casing liner in a wellbore of a hydrocarbon well. The forming including disposing a casing liner print head in an annular region located between a casing pipe disposed in a wellbore of a hydrocarbon well and a wall of the wellbore, and conducting a downhole lining operation including operating the casing liner print head to eject casing liner material into the annular region to form, in the annular region, a casing liner including elongated voids formed in the casing liner material.
