A pipe device includes a pipe and a connection element. The pipe has a pipe jacket that has an inner surface and an outer surface and forms a flow channel. The connection element forms a through-channel that extends from a connection piece consisting of a first material (M1) and having a first opening to a second opening. The pipe jacket is positioned on the connection piece with a first pipe end consisting of a second material (M2). A bonded connection is formed between the first material (M1) and the second material (M2) in a contact region between the inner surface of the pipe jacket and a peripheral surface of the connection piece.

A panel may be formed with mandrels inside of stiffening members. The panel may be coupled to a panel holding jig. A winch may be coupled to the mandrels. The winch may pull the mandrels out of the stiffening members and into curved tracks.

An aerospace vessel including a fuselage, a means for causing the fuselage to fly coupled to the fuselage, and an environmental control system within the fuselage. The environmental control system includes a duct made of closed cell thermoplastic foam, such as polyvinylidene fluoride foam.

A reinforcement structure includes an adherend, such as a metal plate, and a reinforcement sheet adhering thereto. The reinforcement sheet includes a front layer containing a plurality of fibers, a core material layer, and an adhesive layer. The reinforcement structure is capable of intensively reinforcing a first corner portion of the adherend and obtaining an improvement in strength.

A hollow structure for a face mask includes an inner wall, an outer wall spaced from the inner wall to define a hollow area between the inner wall and the outer wall, and a bottom wall that couples the inner wall to the outer wall. A first portion and a second portion together define a closable opening into the hollow area. The second portion is coupled to the outer wall by a bi-stable membrane that allows the second portion to move between (1) a first, opened position in which the second portion is spaced from the first portion to allow access to the hollow area through the opening, and (2) a second, closed position in which the second position abuts the first portion to close the opening.
