A tank trailer has a container formed from a tubular body and one or more polar bosses coupled to distal ends of the tubular body. The trailer includes a pumping system that has one or more pipes fluidly coupled to the interior of the container via an interface at one of the polar bosses. The tank trailer may have a base support and one or more circumferential support members coupling the base support to the composite container, or the support functionality of the base may be instead accomplished by the container. The one or more polar bosses may include an inner circular surface and an outer circular surface, wherein the outer circular surface has one or more flat portions that complement and engage one or more concave features of the substantially tubular body.

A method of injecting laser-blocking material into a workpiece includes communicating molten laser-blocking material through the workpiece as the workpiece is subjected to at least a partial vacuum within an enclosed environment such that the partial vacuum expands any air bubbles in the laser-blocking material and transports the air bubbles out of the workpiece.

A method including the selection of a piece of jewelry with a setting, and inserting a mixture of transparent resin and cremation ashes in the setting.

A dispenser apparatus for a curable liquid material is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a flexible bag defining a first compartment for accommodating a first component of a curable liquid material, and a second compartment for accommodating a second component of the curable liquid material and adapted to communicate with the first chamber to enable mixing of the first and second components to initiate curing of the curable liquid material. A first clamp temporarily prevents mixing of the first and second components, and an elongate nozzle communicates with the second compartment to dispense the mixed curable liquid material therefrom. A second clamp temporarily prevents passage of the curable liquid material from the second compartment to the nozzle.

A system and method for forming 3D printed structures includes printing an outer shell portion and filling an interior of the outer shell portion to form an inner portion. The outer shell portion and inner portion may have differing material properties. The outer shell portion may be anchored to the base component.

A prefabricated window sill (10) suitable for external use comprises a closed cast outer shell (12) having at least an upper surface (16), a lower surface (18), a front surface (20), a rear surface (22) and first and second end surfaces (24, 26). The shell is made from a composite of a plastic polyester resin mixed with either crushed marble or crushed glass, with a catalyst which causes the resin to set; the shell being filled with an expanded plastics foam.

A device to correct geometrical differences of surfaces of parts to be assembled at the interface of the assembly. A measurer to acquire data by measuring the geometry of the assembly surfaces of two parts to be assembled to each other with their respective assembly surfaces facing. A simulator configured to simulate the assembly of the parts and to determine from the acquired data at each measured point of a sampling of the interface a thickness of the void resulting from the geometrical discrepancies between the assembly surfaces. An additive fabricator to receive from the simulator data representative of the thicknesses of the voids resulting from the geometrical discrepancies between the assembly surfaces. The additive fabricator configured to deposit material on the assembly surface of at least one of the parts to at least partly fill the void resulting from the geometrical discrepancies between the assembly surfaces.

A liquid crystal display device, includes a display panel; a light guide plate to transfer light to the display panel; and a light source module on a side surface of the light guide plate to supply light to the light guide plate, the light source module including a light source to generate light; and a quantum dot unit between the light source and the light guide plate, the quantum dot unit extending along the side surface of the light guide plate and including a tube member filled with a resin including quantum dots, the tube member including a sealing part.

A system and method for forming 3D printed structures includes printing an outer shell portion and filling an interior of the outer shell portion to form an inner portion. The outer shell portion and inner portion may have differing material properties. The outer shell portion may be anchored to the base component.

A method of forming a refrigerator cabinet is presented that includes the steps of providing an inner liner; providing an external wrapper, the wrapper defining at least one injection port and at least one vacuum port; positioning the internal liner within the external wrapper such that a gap is defined between the internal liner and the external wrapper; drawing a vacuum within the gap through the at least one vacuum port; and injecting a plurality of glass spheres into the gap through the at least one injection port.
