A laminate nanomold includes a layer of perfluoropolyether defining a cavity that has a predetermined shape and a support layer coupled with the layer of perfluoropolyether. The laminate can also include a tie-layer coupling the layer of perfluoropolyether with the support layer. The tie-layer can also include a photocurable component and a thermal curable component. The cavity can have a broadest dimension of less than 500 nanometers.

The present invention relates to a food-forming-apparatus with: a rotating drum (5) which comprises product cavities in which a food product is formed from a food mass and a food mass feed member (23), which comprises a housing with an infeed channel (24) and at least one upstream sealing area (25) and/or a downstream sealing area (26) and a flexible pressure plate (7) which is pressed against the outer surface of the drum and thereby provides a seal between the food mass member and the drum. The drum has at its outer surface a multitude of rows of cavities.

A roller-type depressing device, an imprinting device, and a roller-type depressing method which are capable of suppressing an uneven elastic deformation of a main roller, and which are also capable of depressing an object uniformly. A roller-type depressing device depresses an object, and includes a main roller having at least a surface formed of an elastic material, and depressing the object, a roller moving unit moving the main roller relative to the object, a pressure adjusting unit adjusting pressure applied to the object by the main roller, a pressure receiving stage receiving the pressure from the main roller via the object, an intermediate roller having at least a surface formed of a material with a larger elastic modulus than the elastic material, and supporting the main roller, and, a backup roller formed shorter in an axial direction than the main roller and the intermediate roller, and supporting the intermediate roller.

This compactor includes first rollers having first roller surfaces that press a laminated sheet from the second surface side of a release sheet, the first rollers being disposed separated from each other; and a second roller having a second roller surface that presses the laminated sheet from the second surface side of the release sheet, the second roller being disposed such that the second roller surface faces a gap provided between the first rollers.

A device for the production of a thin plate laminate includes a setting device for creating a mold retention structure in which the molds are arranged on both surface sides of the workpiece, a heating device for heating the molds, a compression roller device in which the mold retention structure is introduced between two compression rollers and which compresses outer surfaces of the molds by rotating the compression rollers to integrally thermocompression-bond film resin composition and the substrate to form a thin plate laminate having the film resin layer, and an extraction device for extracting the mold retention structure after compression from the molds.
