A production method for a resin molding (1) inserted a 1st plate (10) having many through holes (10a) and a 2nd plate (11) having many through holes (11a), which are arranged in parallel and facing each other during a manufacturing process, comprising a 1st plate process and a 2nd plate process.

The 1st plate process in which, the 1st plate (10) moves to the 2nd plate (11) side from a 1st plate start position (U0) and returns a 1st plate end position (P3) near the 1st plate start position (U0) in a cavity filled with a molten resin (4) kept to a high pressure.

The 2nd plate process in which, the 2nd plate (11) moves to the 1st plate (10) side from a 2nd plate start position (V0) and returns a 2nd plate end position (P4) near the 2nd plate start position in the cavity.

This makes it possible to spread the molten resin (4) to even a shielded area with a reciprocal plate motion. That is, the molten resin (4) is able to pass through holes (10a, 11a) back and forth with the reciprocal plate motion and reach the shielded area finally.

Therefore, the molten resin (4) spread through the surface of the 1st plate (10) and the 2nd plate (11), and a resin wettability of these plates are improved. And as a result, the resin molding (1) strength against a distortion is improved.

An anti-fouling surface having micron scale pillars embedded with Fe.sub.3O.sub.4 nanoparticles is designed. The pillars may be repeatedly induced to move according to a predetermined frequency, such as one that mimic that of the beating movement of natural cilia, through the application of a magnetic field. When square-shaped pillars with a height of 10 m, width of 2 m, and inter-pattern distance of 5 m actuated for three minutes, more than 99.9 percent of biofilm cells were detached and via gentle rinsing from the surface having the pillars. The anti-fouling surface enables effective prevention of biofilm formation and removal of established biofilms, and can be applied to a broad spectrum of polymers.

A method of manufacturing magnets and a method of manufacturing a rotor are provided. An intermediate member includes a sheet and magnet bodies. The sheet includes a first sheet surface and a second sheet surface on a side opposite to the first sheet surface. The magnet bodies are located on the first sheet surface. A first die is made of an elastic material having an elastic coefficient lower than the elastic coefficient of the magnet bodies. The intermediate member is arranged between the first die and a second die such that the second sheet surface of the sheet faces the first die. The first die and the second die hold the intermediate member in between. Accordingly, the sheet is cut at positions between adjacent ones of the magnet bodies.

A radial-type magnetic encoder includes: an annular fixing member; and an annular plastic magnet attached to the annular fixing member. The annular fixing member includes the cylindrical portion, an outward flange portion extending outward in a radial direction from an edge of the cylindrical portion, and a sensor opposed portion bent from an edge of the outward flange portion and opposed to a magnetic sensor which detects rotation of the magnetic encoder, and the annular fixing member has a substantially U-shaped sectional shape along a plane including the radial direction and an axial direction. The annular plastic magnet has a shape that covers a front surface, a back surface, and an end edge of the sensor opposed portion, and an outer-diameter-side part of the outward flange portion.

An example lid assembly can include a lid and a slider. The lid can include a wall defining a recess. The slider can be configured to slide in the recess and can be configured to move between a closed position where the slider covers the opening to aid in preventing spilling of contents of the container and an opened position where the slider uncovers the opening such that the contents of the container can be consumed. The slider can be configured to be removable from the lid and can be replaced back on the lid. Additionally, the slider can be configured to lock into place on the recess in both the closed position and the opened position.

A removable fluid barrier comprises a generally planar flexible body fabricated of at least one resilient material and encapsulating a plurality of permanent magnets. The flexible body has an outer face defining a sealing surface of the removable fluid barrier.

A method of forming a device having a compliant member includes applying heat to a thermoplastic elastomer to maintain the thermoplastic elastomer in a softened state. The thermoplastic elastomer is extruded in the softened state as a film of thermoplastic elastomer. One or more of a bobbin and a housing, each having and end, is positioned such that the end extends at least partially into the film of thermoplastic elastomer. The positioning occurs when the thermoplastic elastomer is in the softened state and/or the bobbin and/or housing is at a temperature that is greater than a temperature of the film of thermoplastic elastomer. The film is cooled so that the bobbin and/or housing are secured to the film and so that the thermoplastic elastomer is in a state that exhibits rubber-like properties.

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a motor assembly in which a rotor comprises: a rotor frame including a bottom surface having a rotating shaft at the center thereof and a side wall extending from the circumference of the bottom surface to surround the rotor in a circumferential direction; a plurality of cores disposed at the side wall along the circumferential direction; a plurality of permanent magnets disposed at the side wall along the circumferential direction and disposed between the plurality of cores, respectively; and an outer ring disposed at an outer surface, which is the opposite to the center of the rotor frame, along the circumferential direction, of the side wall, wherein the outer ring may be disposed apart from the plurality of cores and have the side wall therebetween. Various other embodiments may also be possible.

An example lid assembly can include a lid and a slider. The lid can include a wall defining a recess. The slider can be configured to slide in the recess and can be configured to move between a closed position where the slider covers the opening to aid in preventing spilling of contents of the container and an opened position where the slider uncovers the opening such that the contents of the container can be consumed. The slider can be configured to be removable from the lid and can be replaced back on the lid. Additionally, the slider can be configured to lock into place on the recess in both the closed position and the opened position.

Methods for producing an encoder are disclosed. In one example, a method may include introducing an insert part into a mold, wherein the insert part is a support part, a metal foil, or a metal-coated foil. A first component may be injected into the mold, wherein the first component is an adhesion promoter. The first component is then cooled, wherein the first component joins with the insert part. A second component is injected into the mold, wherein the second component includes a material which comprises polyamide 6, polyamide 12, or polyphenylene sulfide and at least one magnetic filler. The second component is then cooled, wherein the second component joins with the first component and forms the encoder.
