A weatherable, low heat build-up capstock system comprising an acrylic cap, a pigment system that is IR transparent to a greater degree than existing pigment systems, an IR reflective substrate, and an extrusion system for same.

A method is disclosed for copying a surface texture of a surface carrier object to an air tight thermoplastic surface layer of an interior cladding component of a vehicle, by fixing the airtight thermoplastic surface layer inside the pressure chamber such that the airtight thermoplastic surface layer divides the pressure chamber into a first and second pressure chamber section by positioning the surface carrier object inside the pressure chamber with a positioning device in the vicinity of the airtight thermoplastic surface layer with the surface texture facing the airtight thermoplastic surface layer. By applying a pressure difference between the first and second pressure chamber section, the airtight thermoplastic surface layer is pressed on the surface carrier object, thereby copying a surface texture of a surface carrier object to an airtight thermoplastic surface layer. An interior cladding component of a vehicle, comprising an airtight thermoplastic surface layer is also disclosed.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical dosage forms, for example to a tamper resistant dosage form including an opioid analgesic, and processes of manufacture, uses, and methods of treatment thereof.

A 3D printing device includes at least one printing nozzle for a layer-by-layer application of a printing material provided for the production of a component to be printed along a direction of application (R). The 3D printing device has a temperature control device that is configured and provided both to cool and warm already applied printing material in the region of the printing nozzle.

An apparatus, system, and methods for providing flowable material to a part-forming fixture. The apparatus comprising a tool manifold and a fixture manifold. The tool manifold comprises a tool-manifold base and a plurality of tool fittings extending through the tool-manifold base. The fixture manifold comprises a fixture-manifold base and a plurality of fixture fittings extending through the fixture-manifold base. An interface end of each one of the plurality of tool fittings is removably attachable to an interface end of a corresponding one of the plurality of fixture fittings such that, when attached, a seal is created between the tool fittings and the corresponding fixture fitting and flowable material is flowable from each one of the tool fittings into the corresponding one of the fixture fittings.

The present invention related to an apparatus and method for the manufacturing of beverage capsules. The apparatus can preheat the material used to form the beverage material during the manufacturing process. The material and apparatus are particularly suitable for use in producing single serve beverage capsules from biodegradable materials.

A ventilation module is disclosed having a ventilation outlet channel including a gas flow inlet side and an opposite gas flow outlet side. The ventilation outlet channel is separated in the longitudinal direction to form at least two ventilation channel portions, such that the at least two ventilation channel portions are adjustable away from and towards one another transversely to the longitudinal extent of the ventilation outlet channel. The width of the ventilation outlet channel and thus the flow cross section can be increased or decreased.

A system for controlling the temperature of a film before and/or during application, the system including: a heat source for heating a film; and stretch rollers; wherein the heat source heats the film from an ambient temperature to a temperature from about 2° C. to about 40° C. above the ambient temperature, wherein the film is heated prior to or simultaneous to being stretched by the stretch rollers, and wherein the ambient temperature is below 15° C. The preheating system may be used to enhance binding and sealing properties of stretch films used for wrapping palletized products in a reduced temperature environment. Other embodiments of the preheating film system, and methods for its use, are described herein.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical dosage forms, for example to a tamper resistant dosage form including an opioid analgesic, and processes of manufacture, uses, and methods of treatment thereof.

A method for producing a fencing material including the steps of: providing a border material having an interior surface; providing a mesh material having a front and a back; treating the interior surface of the border material to produce a tacky border material surface; placing a portion of the front and/or the back of the mesh material against the tacky border material surface; pressing the tacky border material surface and the mesh material together; and thermally bonding at least some portion of the front and the back of the mesh material with the interior surface of the border material. The border material being a polyvinyl chloride, the mesh being a polyvinyl chloride material and/or a vinyl coated material.
