Disclosed is a method for assembling a wind turbine blade comprising a first blade component, e.g. a first blade half shell, and a second blade component, e.g. a second blade half shell, the first blade component comprising a first contact area configured to be connected to a second contact area of the second blade component, the first contact area having a first contact surface, the second contact area having a second contact surface.

The present disclosure relates to liners and methods of making liners. The liners may be suitable for use with tanks and other storage/containment vessels, such as process tanks, immersion tanks, indoor or outdoor containment pits, gravity feed conduits (e.g., concrete trench, canal, or drain, etc.) for transferring or conveying liquid, grain storage tanks or containers (e.g., dielectric or electrically non-conductive liners for grain storage, etc.), etc.

A welder for joining two polymeric sheets together using a wedged heating element allows for a heating profile on opposite faces of the heating element to be varied by controlling where each of the polymeric sheets contacts the corresponding face.

A tool for applying tint film to an inside window surface of an automobile has a unitary body with a handle portion and a downwardly depending neck extending from the handle portion to an elongate blade supporting portion. The blade supporting portion includes a bottom zone extending to a chamfered distal end. A flexible blade is attached to the bottom zone and the distal end of the blade supporting portion. The flexible blade includes a forwardmost portion that extends beyond the distal end of the blade supporting portion.

In an example, a method is described. The method comprises forming a single hole into a bond gap repair area. The method also comprises evacuating, via an adhesive injection apparatus attached to the single hole, the bond gap repair area and an injection channel of the adhesive injection apparatus. The method also comprises forcing adhesive through the evacuated injection channel and into the evacuated bond gap repair area.

In an example, a method is described. The method comprises placing a repair patch over a repair area of a structure, the repair patch comprising a repair-patch hole. The method also comprises sealing the repair patch and repair area with a vacuum bag having a seal ring around a periphery of the vacuum bag. The method also comprises evacuating, via an adhesive injection apparatus attached to the repair-patch hole and the seal ring of the vacuum bag, the repair area and an injection channel of the adhesive injection apparatus. The method also comprises forcing adhesive through the evacuated injection channel and into the evacuated repair area.

The present invention is a system and method facilitating the application of PVC primer or PVC cement to the inner surfaces of PVC unions, PVC sleeves, and the outer surfaces of PVC pipes. The invention consists of a PVC primer or PVC cement reservoir, a method of filing the PVC reservoir, and forcing the PVC primer or PVC cement through a series of tubes and holes in the apparatus and into a foam applicator which transfers the PVC primer or PVC cement onto the inner surface or onto the outer surface of a PVC union, PVC sleeve, or PVC pipe to a predetermined depth thus reducing waste of the PVC primer or PVC cement. The foam applicator housing contains a foam applicator specifically for applying PVC primer or PVC cement to either the inner surface of a PCV union, PVC sleeve, or to the outer surface of a PVC pipe giving a uniform application of PVC primer or PVC cement.

A tool is provided in a kit of parts for an implantable penile prosthesis that includes a first tubing section and a first connector that is attachable to a second tubing section and a second connector. The tool has a vertex end and an open end, a first arm extending from the vertex end to a first distal end, and a second arm extending from the vertex end to a second distal end. The first distal end is spaced apart from the second distal end to define the open end of the tool.

An apparatus and method for joining pipes includes a plate for melting mating surfaces of the pipes to be joined. Additionally, the apparatus utilizes a vacuum in order to push the first and second pipes together in lieu of hand or mechanical pressure which may be inconsistent. Additionally, the vacuum allows the pipes to be joined to settle on each other in order to create a pressure about a periphery of the end of the pipe being joined to the other pipe. The consistent pressure creates a very strong joint between the first and second pipes.

A vacuum sealer includes: a housing comprising a vacuum chamber therein; a vacuum pump in fluid communication with the vacuum chamber; a sealing mechanism adjacent a periphery of the vacuum chamber; a valve positioned and configured to releasably seal the vacuum chamber, the valve movable between a first position, in which the valve forms a seal with the sealing chamber, and a second position, in which the valve does not form a seal with the sealing chamber; and a controller operatively connected with the vacuum pump, the sealing mechanism, and the valve. The controller is configured to move the valve from the first position to the second position during sealing.
