The present invention relates to breathable, vented, and insulating cold weather garments. More particularly, the present invention relates to garments with chambers to retain an insulating fill material. Perforations along the seams between the insulating chambers may achieve optimal evaporative moisture transfer from the inside (proximal to the body of a wearer) of the garment to the outside environment.

The device includes at least part of an assembly line defining assembly path and assembly plane including the assembly path and plurality of spindles moveable along the assembly path by an apparatus and configured to controlledly pick up the caps, the spindles position and push the caps onto the base supports along the assembly path; positioning apparatus including first and second detectors, controller with auxiliary control system to translate and rotate spindles along directions perpendicular to assembly path and plane and third encoder to detect spindle orientation relative to assembly path. First detector to detect first orientation, second detector to detect second orientation and controller to detect first orientation and second orientation by detectors and operate auxiliary control system to align base support and cap.

A weld bead cutting device is configured such that, a liner made as liner portions are abutted on and welded to each other is rotated around a rotation axis extending in a direction along an abutting direction, and a weld bead is cut with a cutting tool arranged among rollers in a state where the rollers are pressed against an outer peripheral surface of the liner, the rollers being arranged on both sides of the weld bead on the liner in a direction along an extending direction of the rotation axis.

A method for manufacturing a microprojection unit (10) according to the invention involves: a microprojection tool forming step of forming a microprojection tool (1) by bringing a projecting mold part (11) into contact from one surface (2D) side of a base sheet (2A) including a thermoplastic resin, and thus forming a protrusion (3) that protrudes from another surface (2U) side, and withdrawing the projecting mold part (11) from the interior of the protrusion (3); a joining step of joining the one surface (2D) side of the base sheet (2A), in which the microprojection tool (1) has been formed, and a tip end of a base component (4); and a cutting step of cutting the base sheet (2A), to which the base component (4) has been joined, along a contour (4L) of the base component (4) at a position more inward than the base component's contour (4L) in a planar view of the base sheet (2A) as viewed from the microprojection tool (1) side, to manufacture a microprojection unit (10).

An anti-graffiti window film covering system that includes multiple polymeric film layers. Each layer includes a unique visual indicia to identify the number of sheets remaining in the system.

An electrochemical cell includes an electrode body which includes a positive electrode and a negative electrode and an outer package which is formed by overlapping a first member and a second member. The outer package includes: a housing portion which houses the electrode body; and a sealing portion which is formed along an outer circumference of the housing portion, by fusing and bending the first member and the second member, at a portion corresponding to the outer circumference of the housing portion.

A manufacturing system includes a first mandrel, a second mandrel, and laminate securing mechanisms. The first mandrel has a first mandrel surface and a first mandrel surface edge. The second mandrel has a second mandrel surface and a second mandrel surface edge, and is positionable in a closed position in which the first mandrel surface edge and the second mandrel surface edge are in contact to form a continuous mandrel surface collectively defined by the first mandrel surface and the second mandrel surface. The second mandrel translates to an open position defining a gap between the first mandrel surface edge and the second mandrel surface edge for receiving a forming die. The laminate securing mechanisms secure the composite laminate on at least one of the first mandrel and the second mandrel during trimming and/or forming of the composite laminate.

Provided are stiffened stringer panels with integrated shim structures. An example composite panel comprises a skin member having an inner surface, and a stringer positioned on the inner surface. The stringer comprises a first flange portion and a second flange portion with the first flange portion and the second flange portion contacting the inner surface. The composite panel further comprises an integrated shim positioned on the first flange portion. The integrated shim may comprise a sacrificial material configured to be trimmed to the desired geometry. The sacrificial material may comprise a glass fiber reinforced plastic fabric pre-impregnated with resin. The integrated shim may be configured to interface with internal support structures of a wing assembly. The integrated shim may be configured to be machined to fit dimensions and measurements corresponding to the internal support structures of the wing assembly.

This invention relates to an assembly of regions (10a, 10b) of composite parts (2a, 2b) with thermoplastic matrix, including a plurality of riveting points along regions (10a, 10) of the parts that overlap through the superposition of two faces (12a, 12b) of these regions (10a, 10b) which are positioned facing one another, each region (10a, 10b) having another, opposite, face (11a, 11b) which remains visible with the part (2a, 2b). The riveting is performed using assembly ties (6) made of thermoplastic resin-based composite material compatible with the material of the parts (2a, 2b). These ties (6), which are made up at least in part of a stitch of backstitch produced using a filament of a material selected from a fiber coated with aramid resin, a carbon fiber and a glass fiber, are embedded in said regions (10a, 10b) and passing right through the same with an orientation comprised between 30 and 90 with respect to their faces (11a, 11b; 12a, 12b).

The present disclosure relates to methods for bonding first and second substrates together with tackifier free adhesives. The tackifier free adhesive may be applied to the second substrate to define an adherence zone. The first substrate is positioned on the adherence zone of the second substrate to define a first region and a second region of the adherence zone. In the first region, the tackifier free adhesive is positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate. In the second region, the tackifier free adhesive may or may not be positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate, and may not bond the first substrate with the second substrate. Thus, tackifier free adhesive may be applied to the second substrate to create an adherence zone defining a relatively large area that permits the placement of the first substrate thereon without the need to completely cover the adherence zone.
