A non-woven textile may be formed from a plurality of thermoplastic polymer filaments. The non-woven textile may have a first region and a second region, with the filaments of the first region being fused to a greater degree than the filaments of the second region. A variety of products, including apparel (e.g., shirts, pants, footwear), may incorporate the non-woven textile. In some of these products, the non-woven textile may be joined with another textile element to form a seam. More particularly, an edge area of the non-woven textile may be heatbonded with an edge area of the other textile element at the seam. In other products, the non-woven textile may be joined with another component, whether a textile or a non-textile.

A method for assembling two parts, referred to as first and second parts, the first part being produced from composite material with fibrous reinforcement embedded in a thermosetting or thermoplastic matrix, the method comprising the steps of: obtaining the first part comprising, on all or part of an outer surface, a first amorphous thermoplastic film; positioning the first part and the second part such that the first amorphous thermoplastic film is placed opposite the second part; introducing a thermosetting resin between the first amorphous thermoplastic film and the second part; at least partially polymerising the thermosetting resin. When the two parts comprise an amorphous thermoplastic film, the parts are positioned such that the respective amorphous thermoplastic films are placed opposite each other, and the thermosetting resin is introduced between the amorphous thermoplastic films.

The present invention relates to a method for the automated production of a workpiece having at least one diaphragm, including a workpiece for an electrochemical sensor, including providing a workpiece that has a wall with at least one continuous opening through the wall, wherein a diaphragm body is affixed in the at least one opening, such that the diaphragm body completely fills a cross-section of the opening, and processing the diaphragm body by means of a laser.

A bonding method utilizing carbon nanotubes provides first and second objects to be bonded and a carbon nanotube structure. The carbon nanotube structure comprises a super-aligned carbon nanotube film comprising carbon nanotubes, the carbon nanotubes extending substantially along a same direction. The carbon nanotube structure is laid on surface of first object and surface of second object is pressed onto the carbon nanotube structure. Pressure being applied to the first object and the second object bonds the two together.

Article formed by joining with a fastener (10) a first composite layer (15) and second layer (16). The structure is made mechanically stable by the use of the melt adhesion region (18) due to the introduction of energy during the assembly process.

An amorphous structure layer is formed on a surface layer of a bonded portion of each of side brackets. A bottomed hole layer including a plurality of bottomed holes is formed on a surface layer of the amorphous structure layer. Each of the bottomed holes has a reverse-tapered shape, which has, between an opening portion and a bottom portion of each of the bottomed holes, a bulged portion having a larger inner circumference than the opening portion. An adhesive is injected into the bottomed holes. An outer circumferential surface of the bonded portion of each of the side brackets and an inner circumferential surface of an end portion of a center beam face toward each other with the adhesive interposed therebetween.

More particularly, an edge area of the non-woven textile may be heatbonded with an edge area of the other textile element at the seam. In other products, the non-woven textile may be joined with another component, whether a textile or a non-textile.

A composite material with an insert-molded attachment steel is provided. The composite material includes a plurality of burring apertures, each of which has a flange in one direction on the attachment steel and is inserted between fibers. A resin is then introduced between the fibers in each burring aperture and external to the flange.
