A biocompatible and/or food-safe tube assembly (1) is used to connect at least three tube connectors (A, B, C). A first tube section (2) serves to connect two (A, B) of the at least three tube connectors (A, B, C). A sec-ond tube section (3) opens into the first tube section (2) via an orifice (4) in a casing wall (5) of the first tube section (2). An orifice sealing body (8) delimits the orifice (4) to the inner lumen of the first tube section (2) and to the inner lumen of the second tube section (3). The first tube sec-tion 2 and the second tube section 3 are molded onto the orifice sealing body 8. A core (10) is used for this purpose. The result is a biocompatible and/or food-safe tube assembly that avoids manufacturing problems.

The mold release film has a multilayer structure in which a mold release layer, a first base material layer, and a second base material layer are laminated. The mold release layer constitutes a mold release surface, and the second base material layer constitutes a surface of the mold release film on an opposite side of the mold release surface. The mold release layer contains one or two or more selected from a silicone resin, a fluororesin, a melamine resin, an epoxy resin, and a phenolic resin. The first base material layer is formed by a stretched or un-stretched film containing one or two or more selected from a polyester resin, a polyolefin resin, and a polyamide resin. The second base material layer is formed by a stretched or un-stretched film containing one or two or more selected from a polyester resin, a polyolefin resin, and a polyamide resin.

A method for applying a sealing member to a capsule intended for the preparation of a beverage in a device for making beverages, where the capsule includes a body having a bottom wall a side wall and a flange-like rim which extends from the side wall, comprises a step of applying a charge of sealing composition in a viscous state on the flange-like rim and a step of compression moulding the charge of sealing composition against the flange-like rim.

Methods and structures are provided for wafer-level packaging of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). An array of LED die are mounted on a packaging substrate. The substrate may include an array of patterned metal contacts on a front side. The metal contacts may be in electrical communication with control logic formed in the substrate. The LEDs mounted on the packaging substrate may also be encapsulated individually or in groups and then singulated, or the LEDs mounted on the packaging substrate may be integrated with a micro-mirror array or an array of lenses.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for manufacturing a transaction card. The disclosed methods and apparatuses may be used to form a transaction card frame within a mold. The transaction card frame may include one or more recessed portions formed within a first surface of the transaction card frame. The one or more recessed portions may be configured for affixing one or more electronic components.

Provided is a method for manufacturing a fiber reinforced plastic molded body, the method including: performing thermocompression molding, by using a molding die, on a molding precursor which is obtained by arranging a prepreg including a thermosetting resin and a fiber around a thermoplastic solid body.

The process for manufacturing a timepiece component (10) including at least one fastening element (12), includes positioning at least one fastening element (12) within a manufacturing mould (20) by means of at least one guide element (25; 35), filling the manufacturing mould (20) with a material so as to overmould, i.e. at least partially envelop and set, the at least one fastening element (12) in the material, and removing the timepiece component (10) from the manufacturing mould (20), this timepiece component (10) being at least partly formed by the material and the at least one fastening element (12).

The present disclosure relates to a plank with anti-slip function and a method preparing the same; it belongs to the technical field of plank manufacturing. The plank with anti-slip function includes a support body and an anti-slip body clamped on the support body; the anti-slip body has a clamping member; the support body is provided with a plurality of clamping grooves that cooperate with the clamping member; the clamping groove is provided with at least one limiting part that restricts the clamping member from escaping from the clamping groove; the support body is made of thermoplastic material, and the anti-slip body is made of elastomer material. 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 to make the anti-slip body firmly clamped on the support body, so that the present disclosure simultaneously exerts the advantages of the thermoplastic support body and the elastic anti-slip body, thereby the plank has the advantages of high compressive strength and good surface contact.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sandwich structure that achieves both excellent heat radiation and excellent mechanical characteristics. To this end, the sandwich structure according to the present invention has the following configuration. That is, the sandwich structure has a core material (I) and fiber-reinforced materials (II) arranged on both surfaces of the core material (I), wherein at least one of the fiber-reinforced materials (II) includes a sheet-shaped heat conduction material (III) having an in-plane heat conduction ratio of 300 W/m.Math.K or more.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for manufacturing a transaction card. The disclosed methods and apparatuses may be used to form a transaction card frame within a mold. The transaction card frame may include one or more recessed portions formed within a first surface of the transaction card frame. The one or more recessed portions may be configured for affixing one or more electronic components.
