A magnetic-inductive flowmeter with a measuring tube, a magnetic field generator and a measuring electrode in which its measuring electrodes are improved is achieved by the measuring electrode being formed of an outer electrode sheath of an electrically non-conductive plastic and of an inner electrode core of electrically conductive plastic, and by a method for producing the measuring electrode.

An oral care implement having a multi-component handle. The oral care implement may include a head and a handle. The handle may have a front surface, a rear surface, and opposing first and second lateral surfaces. The handle may include an elongated handle body, a grip cover, and a transparent component. The elongated handle body and the grip cover may be opaque. The elongated handle body may form a portion of the front surface of the handle and the grip cover may form a portion of the rear surface of the handle. The transparent component may form a portion of each of the first and second lateral surfaces of the handle. Thus, the transparent component may form a window through the lateral surfaces of the handle.

A system for connection between parts of a structure, comprising providing the parts (1, 2, 3 and 4) to be connected with elements in the form of ribs or drill holes (5), on the surfaces of zones or areas of connection of said parts; placing the parts to be connected in a mold (7), in the relative position they will occupy within the structure, with the ribs or drill holes (5) inside said mold; and injecting, into the mold, a resin or melted adhesive plastic such that it fills the drill holes (5), the inner holes of the parts and the spaces (8) defined therebetween.

A method and apparatus for positioning an end effector relative to a fuselage assembly. A configuration of the fuselage assembly may be determined. The end effector may be positioned relative to the fuselage assembly based on the configuration determined. A set of actual reference locations may be identified for a set of reference points on the fuselage assembly. The end effector may be positioned at an operation location based on the set of actual reference locations identified.

A method and apparatus for installing a fastener. A reactive structural force is generated in a first direction during installation of the fastener. A new reactive structural force is generated in a second direction opposite to the first direction during the installation of the fastener.

A method and apparatus for performing an assembly operation. A tool may be macro-positioned relative to an exterior of a fuselage assembly. The tool may be micro-positioned relative to a particular location on the exterior of the fuselage assembly. An end effector is removably associated with an external robotic device associated with an external mobile platform. The tool is removably associated with the end effector. An assembly operation may be performed at the particular location on the panel using the tool.

An oral care implement having a multi-component handle. The oral care implement may include a head and a handle. The handle may include a transparent component and an opaque component. The transparent component may have a front surface, a rear surface opposite the front surface, a first lateral surface, and a second lateral surface opposite the first lateral surface. The opaque component may at least partially cover the front and rear surfaces of the transparent component while leaving the first and second lateral surfaces of the transparent component exposed. Thus, the transparent component may form a window through the lateral surfaces of the handle.

A film insert molded article including a film insert and a molded plastic body. The film insert includes a first and a second main face on one and the other sides, respectively, in the thickness direction and a side face extending from the first to the second face. The molded plastic body includes a main body, which is fixed directly to the first main face, and a fixing portion with a cross section in the thickness direction of generally inverted L-shape. The fixing portion includes a first and a second fixing portion. The first fixing portion extends from the main body along the side face of the film insert and is fixed directly to a part or whole of the side face. The second fixing portion extends from the first fixing portion along the second main face and is fixed directly to the end portion of the second main face.

A method and apparatus for distributing a number of utilities. The number of utilities may be coupled between a number of utility sources and a utility fixture. The number of utilities may be coupled between the utility fixture and a mobile system.

A method and apparatus for fastening two parts together. An initial interference fit may be created between a fastener and at least a portion of a hole extending through the two parts while maintaining a force equilibrium. A final interference fit may be created between the fastener and the hole, while maintaining a new force equilibrium.
