The invention disclosed herein is an automotive acoustic panel including a porous sound-absorption material made from a polymer and an expanded perlite. One or more silane compounds may be coupled or coated onto the expanded perlite while a coupling agent and a chemical foaming agent may additionally be added to the automotive acoustic panel.

A format compensator for a pressing device, comprising a compensating element (7) of a given thickness (S), structured so as to be interposed between the lower punch and the upper punch (10, 11) of a pressing device so as to be arranged in contact with the punches (10, 11) during pressing.

Floor panel for forming a floor covering, where the floor panel includes a carrier on the basis of a thermoplastic material and a top layer provided on the carrier. The thermoplastic material is free from plasticizers or includes a plasticizer in an amount up to maximum 20 phr, where the thermoplastic material is foamed or expanded, and where the carrier is provided with a reinforcement layer.

The invention relates to manufacturing method for components of a fuel cell stack from a mixture of plastic and at least one electrically conductive filler by means of a double belt press (1, 14). The manufacturing method according to the invention is characterized in that an uncured or incompletely cured strip-shaped blank (2) comprising the mixture is fed into an isochoric double belt press (1) having individual segments (4), wherein each of the individual segments (4) has a shaping structure for shaping the blank into the component as the blank passes through the double belt press (1), wherein the individual segments (4) on the two belts (3) of the double belt press (1) position themselves relative to one another during the pressing process by means of corresponding locking elements (13). The invention further relates to a manufacturing method for bipolar plates (5) and/or interface plates, the halves of which are manufactured according to the above method and are bonded to one another in an isobaric double belt press (14).

The present disclosure relates to an oral, immediate release, abuse deterrent pill containing at least one active pharmaceutical ingredient susceptible to abuse which is homogenously spread throughout a carrier matrix used to deter abuse. The pill is prepared using hot melt extrusion and a forming unit through a continuous process. The formed pill is abuse deterrent to parenteral administration due at least to particle size, viscosity, or purity limitations.

The invention disclosed herein is an automotive acoustic panel including a porous sound-absorption material made from a polymer and an expanded perlite. One or more silane compounds may be coupled or coated onto the expanded perlite while a coupling agent and a chemical foaming agent may additionally be added to the automotive acoustic panel.

A method for manufacturing panels with at least a substrate and a top layer. The method having the steps of providing a granulate having thermoplastic material and having an average particle size of less than 1 millimeter, forming a substrate layer by strewing the granulate, consolidating the layer between the belts of a continuous press device, and providing the top layer on the substrate.

A method for producing anchor rods from a fiber composite material includes a solidifying step during which a strand of a curable matrix material with embedded fibers is conveyed to an irradiation device and solidified by an irradiation with light. In a subsequent curing step, the solidified strand is conveyed to an annealing device and is cured by heating to an annealing temperature. A portion of the cured strand forms an anchor rod. The strand is continuously conveyed past or into the irradiation device in a depression of a circulating conveyor belt. The depression of the conveyor belt comprises profiled inner wall regions, via which, during the solidifying step, a surface profiling of the strand conveyed therein is effected. The conveyor belt consists of a light-permeable material, so that multiple illumination devices can illuminate the strand conveyed on the conveyor belt from various directions.

A method of forming a material includes presenting a formable material to a space between opposing forming surfaces of opposed forming tools from whence said material is carried as said opposing forming surfaces advance in a machine direction. The method includes pressurising, as said opposing forming surfaces advance, said material between said opposing forming surfaces in a reduced space between said opposing forming surfaces defining at least in part a pressure forming zone, said reduced space between said opposing forming surfaces being maintained constant until a form of at least one of said opposing forming surfaces is profiled into said material and is retainable thereon. The method also includes releasing the profiled material from between the said opposing forming surfaces, as the space of the pressure forming zone increases between said opposing forming surfaces as the opposing forming surfaces advance.

A fiber-reinforced plastic producing method capable of easily producing a fiber-reinforced plastic in which swelling and warpage are less likely to occur and of which excellent mechanical characteristics and isotropy are ensured, and a fiber-reinforced plastic in which swelling and warpage are suppressed from occurring. The fiber-reinforced plastic producing method has a step for obtaining a material (A) including a prepreg base material in which a region (B), where reinforcing fibers pulled and aligned in one direction are impregnated with a matrix resin and a plurality of cuts (b) are formed, and a region (C), where a plurality of cuts (c) are formed, are alternately formed in a direction orthogonal to a fiber axis of the reinforcing fiber, a step for hot-pressing the material (A) while moving the material (A) under specific conditions, and a step for cooling the pressed material (A) to obtain the fiber-reinforced plastic.
