A method can be used to attach a fabric member to a trim while forming a pattern in the fabric member. A trim has trim grooves formed in one side of the trim and a fabric member has a foam formed in one side of a skin material of the fabric member. A bonding member is coated to an outer surface of the foam and the fabric member is heated where the bonding member is coated. The heated fabric member is placed on the side of the trim where the trim grooves are formed. The fabric member is fixed to the trim by inserting edges of the fabric member into the trim grooves using insertion blades while pattern protrusions formed in a compression jig form a pattern by pressing the skin material of the fabric member.

Systems and methods for controlling a pump system for use in negative pressure wound therapy are described herein. In some embodiments, a method for controlling a pump system includes causing provision of negative pressure, via a flow path, to a wound dressing configured to be positioned over a wound, the flow path configured to fluidically connect the pump system to the wound dressing, measuring a first pressure value in the flow path at a first time, measuring a second pressure value in the flow path at a second time, calculating a first rate of pressure change using the first and second pressure values, and in response to determining that the calculated first rate of pressure change satisfies a threshold rate of change, providing an indication that the wound dressing is full, wherein the method is performed under control of a controller of the pump system.

The invention relates to an induction connection sleeve (1) for fusion joining of plastic pipes (2, 3). The induction connection sleeve (1) comprises a sleeve body (9) having a first (5) and a second receiving portion (7) for receiving first (4) and second connection portions (6) of the plastic pipes (2, 3) to be connected, a first induction heating element (12) and a second induction heating element (13). The sleeve body (9) comprises an inner part (10), which inner part (10) forms the two receiving portions (5, 7) and on which the induction heating elements (12, 13) are accommodated in such a way that the recesses (16) of the induction heating elements (12) are penetrated by the inner part (10) and are flush at their outer lateral surfaces (14, 15) with the inner part (10) in the area of the induction heating elements (12, 13). The sleeve body (9) further comprises an outer part (11) which is connected to the inner part (10) in a bonded manner and surrounds the outer lateral surfaces (14, 15) of the induction heating elements (12, 13).

A preparation method of a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-based membrane for preventing and removing ices covering wind turbine blades is provided and the method comprises: preparing a membrane into a PTFE rod material with polymerized monomers by using monomer polymerization methods such as blending, pre-compressing and pushing; making the membrane into a PTFE-based homogeneous membrane with micropores and nano and micron scale concave-convex geometrical ultra-structure morphologies under the condition that the membrane is cracked to generate a laminar exfoliated fabric-like structure in the hot calendaring process of the PTFE rod material by using a hot calendaring and fusion polymerization method; and applying the PTFE-based homogeneous membrane to blades of a large wind turbine in operation.

A capsule which under pressure in expresso machines is suitable for extraction of coffee, including a truncated cone-shaped capsule body of thermoformed plastic having a conical side wall, the wider end of the side wall defining an outlet side of the capsule and the narrower end of the side wall defining an inlet side of the capsule. A destructible inlet sealing membrane closes the inlet opening of the capsule body and is attached to the inside of the capsule body. The capsule body further includes a circumferential centering ramp at the narrower end of the conical side wall, which translates into an inwardly directed circumferential second flange forming the circular inlet opening, the circumferential centering ramp designed to align the inlet sealing membrane with the inlet opening before welding it to the second flange. The inlet sealing membrane has a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the second flange to be bend upwards along the centering ramp and to at least partially cover the centering ramp when welding it to the second flange. The upwards bend edge forms a heat protecting layer between a hot sealing tool and the centering ramp during welding.

A method of making a wind turbine blade, and the turbine blade resulting form the process, is described in which correct alignment of the shear webs (42a, 42b) upon mould (30) closing is ensured. The method involves providing a first half shell (32a) and a second half shell (32b) to be joined together to form the wind turbine blade. A first edge (46) of a shear web (42) is attached to an inner surface (36a) of the first half shell (32a). A shear web mounting region is defined on an inner surface (36b) of the second half shell (32b). At least one guide block (60a, 60b) is attached to the inner surface (36b) of the second half shell (32b) adjacent to the shear web (42) mounting region. The guide block (60a, 60b) has a guide surface (70) oriented transversely to the inner surface of the second half shell (36b). Upon mould (30) closing, the first and second half shells (32a, 32b) are brought together whilst a second edge (52) of the shear web (42) is guided over the guide surface (70) of the mounting block (60a, 60b) towards the shear web mounting region defined on the inner surface (36b) of the second half shell (32b).

The disclosure relates to a pipe joint applicator with a control device and a method for producing a joint between a first pipe element and a second pipe element. The pipe joint applicator with a control device thereby detects actual process parameters via means for actual value detecting. The pipe joint applicator with a control device and the method determines therefrom the target process parameters for process control means for controlling the process parameters to be delivered to a pipe joint to be made. The pipe joint applicator with a control device optionally compares at least one actual value of the process parameters to at least one target process parameter and, in the event of deviation from at least one tolerance value range, issues an alarm to the user and/or generates an error protocol.
