A device and a method for manufacturing an emblem of thermoplastic synthetic resin with an incorporated IC chip by high frequency induction heating without damaging the IC chip, the device including: an upper metal mold having with a fusion cutting blade; a support frame along the perimeter and upper surface of the table; a slide board on top of the table that is slidable in axial directions relative to the table; a metal plate on the upper surface of the slide board; wherein pressing the upper layer material with the mold from above and subjecting the material to high frequency induction heating, the IC chip is placed in an upper position of the recessed section, then the slide board is driven to slide below the mold and subsequently the heating operation is executed without any risk of applying pressure onto the IC chip.

Molded pulp containers with fused junctions and methods of making of same are provided. The present invention provides a pulp container, comprising a molded pulp body, wherein the body comprising a bottom and at least one side wall forming a wherein the at least one side wall comprising a upper rim, a neck, wherein the neck comprising a upper closure part and a lower rim, a fused junction, wherein a part of the upper rim of the at least one sidewall of the body and a part of the lower rim of the neck are aligned and fused together. The fused junction may be formed by ultrasonic welding.

A method wherein a bulky three-dimensional emblem can be made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin containing a vapor-deposited-metal laminated film. An apparatus for producing a three-dimensional emblem made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin includes a slide jig in which an electrode flat plate die and an electrode projecting die are slidable in a horizontal plane, an electrode recessed die capable of approaching and separating from the slide jig in a vertical direction and at a position where it can oppose the electrode flat plate die and the electrode projecting die, and a high-frequency oscillator that performs high-frequency dielectric heating by continuously generating a high-frequency voltage across the opposing dies, wherein recesses form in a surface of the electrode flat plate die opposing the electrode recessed die, and during high-frequency dielectric heating, a portion of the lower layer material enters the recess and is held on the electrode flat plate die.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to manufacturing a balloon envelope for use in a stratospheric balloon system. For instance, a stream of polyethylene mixture us extruded through an extruder in order to orient molecules of polymer chains of polyethylene and to provide an oriented film. The oriented film is passed through an electron beam and thereby crosslinking the polymer chains to provide a cross-linked film. The cross-linked film is heat sealed to form the balloon envelope.

In an example embodiment, an apparatus for making pouch products includes a conveyor system. The conveyor system includes a first receiving location along a path of the conveyor system, and a dosing location along the path of the conveyor system. The apparatus also includes a first material dispensing station configured to transfer a first material to the first receiving location. The first material includes a first elastic layer and a first support layer. The first material dispensing station includes a dispenser roller configured to hold a roll of the first material, a plurality of rollers configured to convey the first material from the dispenser roller to the first receiving location, and a stripper plate configured remove at least a portion of the first support layer from a portion of the first elastic layer.

A first sheet layer made of a nonwoven fabric; a second sheet layer made of a nonwoven fabric opposed to one side of the first sheet layer; and a plurality of elongated elastically stretchable members provided along the stretchable direction at intervals from each other between the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer are provided. At least a part of each end of the elastically stretchable member is fixed to at least one of the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer only via a first hot melt adhesive. The first sheet layer and the second sheet layer are bonded via a second hot melt adhesive in a range in the stretchable direction corresponding to a space between the both ends of the elastically stretchable member. The holding power of the first hot melt adhesive is higher than the second hot meld adhesive.

The invention is directed to a balanced process for extrusion of a plastic corrugated sheet or blanks, and subsequent converting of the blanks into plastic boxes. The process includes conveying the blanks to a plurality of forming stations for incrementally forming features on the blank needed for forming a box. The present process is performed at a slower speed than typical paper corrugated forming.
