Liquid shim injection devices and methods for injecting liquid shim material into a gap between adjacent components of an assembly. The liquid shim injection devices comprise a body, which comprises an injection shaft, a liquid shim conduit defined within the body and configured to channel liquid shim material within the injection shaft, and a fluid-permeable region formed along the injection shaft, an actuated fluid seal operably coupled to the injection shaft and configured to be selectively conformed among a plurality of conformations, and a fluid seal actuator assembly configured to transition the actuated fluid seal among the plurality of conformations. Methods comprise inserting the injection shaft into a bore that extends through the adjacent components of the assembly, forming a fluid seal between the liquid shim injection device and an interior component of the assembly, and flowing the liquid shim material from the liquid shim injection device into the gap.

The invention further relates to a method of assembling a cooling container e.g. a refrigerated cargo box of a truck or trailer, a railway container, an intermodal container or a shipping container comprising panels to be connected, where at least one panel (10, 40) is provided with an overmoulding zone (11) comprising a layer of overmoulding material (14) covering at least partially a first side (100) and a second side (200) of the panel (10, 40). The invention also relates to an extruder head for applying a layer of a fluid overmoulding material, a container comprising panels (10, 40) comprising a layer of overmoulding material (14).

A fitting element for use in rehabilitation of pipelines with a liner. The fitting element is a composite article of reinforcing fibers and a resin composition. A first part of the fitting element has reinforcing fibers and a substantially fully cured resin composition, and a second part has dry reinforcing fibers that can accept a curable resin composition that optionally originates from the liner to form a functional joint between the fitting element and the liner. An interface layer of the fitting element structurally connects the first and the second part. A method for manufacturing the fitting element, as well as a method for rehabilitation of a pipeline with a tubular liner and a joined assembly of the fitting element and a liner for use in rehabilitating a pipeline.

A method for manufacturing a laminated iron core includes preheating a laminated body in which a plurality of iron core pieces are laminated and which includes a resin filling hole, measuring a temperature of the laminated body after preheating the laminated body, determining whether or not the temperature measured is within a predetermined range, feeding the laminated body into a molding device in a case where it is determined that the temperature is within the predetermined range, and filling the resin filling hole of the laminated body with a resin material in the molding device.

A method is provided for connecting hollow profiles (1-4) in a joint (10) to produce a load-bearing structure (5). The method includes placing ends of hollow profiles (1-4) in a mold and pressing the ends together with at least one semi-finished product to connect the ends of the hollow profiles to the semi-finished product.

A joint between at least one element of metal material and at least one element of plastic material is obtained by pressing these elements in contact against each other, with a simultaneous application of heat. A cladding of metal material and/or of plastic material is applied above the joint by additive manufacturing technology.

A tie rod that includes a central section, a first tapered section, and a second tapered section. A thermoplastic tube extends the length of the tie rod. The first tapered section includes a first insert positioned within the thermoplastic tube. The second tapered section includes a second insert positioned within the thermoplastic tube. A channel extends through the tie rod along the central section, the first tapered section, and the second tapered section.

The invention relates to a cap (10) for providing an insulation cap on the stator head (25) of an electric machine, the cap (10) having cap-parts (12, 13) comprising clipping arrangements (17) for clipping to one another when the cap (10) is closed. Preferably, the clipping arrangements (17) comprise inter-engaging hooks (18, 19) which can snap-fit together. The invention also relates to a method for providing an insulation cap on the stator head (25) of an electric machine. This invention is particularly suitable for providing insulation caps on the stator heads (25) at the top of vertical electrical machines.

In a fastening method and fastening apparatus, workpieces are fastened using a fastener made of a thermoplastic polymer comprising carbon fibers. The method and apparatus involve induction heating of the carbon fibers to soften the thermoplastic polymer and then plastically deforming axial ends of the fastener using a die or dies to form first and second heads while a shaft body or a shaft part of the thermoplastic polymer comprising the carbon fibers is inserted through respective through holes formed in the workpieces.

Disclosed are methods and related compositions for producing a positive-locking load application for rod-shaped fiber composite structures, and the design thereof.

The present invention concerns a method for producing a positive-locking load application for tension-compression rods from a fiber plastic hollow structure by means of an outer sleeve. In this process, a force pushes the fiber plastic hollow structure at least partially over at least one force application element, which is provided with at least one undercut to create a positive-locking connection. An object of the present invention is attained through local heating of the fiber plastic hollow structure to the point of plasticity of the fiber plastic hollow structure, at least in the region of the undercut(s) of the force application element, and application of at least one outer sleeve to the fiber plastic hollow structure in the region of the force application element.
