Described is a machine for packaging mattresses comprising first movement means configured to move a mattress being processed along a first movement path and in a first feed direction and second movement means configured to move a functional layer along a second movement path and in a second feed direction. The second movement path is located at least partly above the first movement path until leading into it at a placement station, wherein the functional layer is placed on the mattress being processed. Means for applying adhesive material are positioned along the first movement path and detection means are configured and programmed to detect the position and preferably the dimensions of the mattress being processed and/or of the functional layer. The control unit is programmed to receive a detection signal indicating the position and preferably the dimensions detected and to generate a control signal of the first and/or second movement means.

A surface fastener molding apparatus includes a supporting structure and a second supporting structure for axially supporting a mold roll in a rotatable manner at a first end side and a second end side of the mold roll which is opposite to the first end side. The mold roll includes a circumferential surface in which a plurality of mold cavities for molding engaging elements of the surface fastener is provided. A first linear driving means and second linear driving means are provided which are for, respectively, advancing or retracting the first supporting structure and the second supporting structure. The degree of closeness between the extruding nozzle and the mold roll is regulatable across the first end side and the second end side of the mold roll, based on at least one activation of the first driving means and the second driving means.

The invention relates to a method and facility for manufacturing a tape of reinforcement filaments impregnated by a polymer matrix, as well as a tape produced thereby, said tape having a constant width across the entire length thereof, wherein the filaments extend in a direction parallel to the length of the tape, from a strand of filaments coming from a feeding reel. The method including steps and units that make it possible to manage the unwinding tension of the strand, to guide the strand on the axis of the machine, to manage the width of the strand, to deposit the polymer on the strand by electrostatic powdering, with a polymer weight ratio of around 20% to around 75% to melt the polymer, to calibrate the width and thickness of the tape and to collect the tape on the storage reel.

An imprint method includes arranging imprint material as droplets on shot region of substrate, bringing the imprint material on part of the shot region into contact with pattern region of mold and then enlarging contact region between the imprint material and the pattern region to whole region of the shot region, and curing the imprint material. in the arranging, in each of local regions located in radial direction from the part of the shot region, the imprint material is arranged such that directional drop density of the imprint material on line parallel to direction orthogonal to the radial direction and with droplets of the imprint material present thereon is smaller than that of the imprint material on line parallel to the radial direction and with droplets of the imprint material present thereon.

A performance monitor determines a performance characteristic of a plurality of dispensers receiving fluid from a reservoir. Each of the plurality of dispensers has an actuator that, when actuated, causes the each of the dispensers to generate a droplet of the fluid. A driver generates a drive command to the actuator to adjust a physical attribute of the droplet based on the performance characteristic to satisfy a performance criteria.

A method for manufacturing an electrode disclosed herein includes: steps of forming a coating film composed of an electrode material by passing the electrode material through a gap between a rotating first roll and a rotating second roll; adhering the coating film to the second roll and conveying the coating film; and transferring the conveyed coating film onto an electrode current collector conveyed by a conveying device to form an electrode mixture layer composed of the coating film. The speed ratio between a peripheral speed of the second roll and a conveying speed of the electrode current collector is changed by changing the peripheral speed of the second roll on the basis of the thickness of the coating film or the width of the gap. The timing of the change in the speed ratio is allowed to be based on the Equation (1) described in the description.

A compression molding device compression-molds resin to a workpiece in which components are mounted on a carrier via connection members, and produces packages each having at least one component resin-sealed therein. The compression molding device comprises: a measuring part measuring the weight of the workpiece; a calculation part calculating the supply amount of the resin based on the weight of the workpiece measured by the measuring part; a supply part supplying the resin in the supply amount calculated by the calculation part; and a molding die for compression-molding, to the workpiece, the resin supplied by the supply part. The calculation part calculates the total volume of mounted objects, including the components and the connection members, based on the weight of the workpiece and calculates the supply amount of the resin based on the total volume of the mounted objects.

Methods and devices of fabricating a stringer for a vehicle. The stringer can be constructed from two charges that are formed together into the stringer. During fabricating, the ends of the charges can be formed in a die cavity. When the ends are misaligned in the die cavity, one of the charges can be moved in the die cavity to align the ends. The device used for fabricating the charges can include a punch with separate punch plates that move the ends of the charges into the die cavity. The punch plates can be separately moved to adjust the position of the charges and align the ends.
