An electronics device includes a housing having a through-hole disposed in a central portion of the housing. A printed circuit board is connected to the housing. The printed circuit board includes one or more electronic components disposed thereon. A plastic housing cover is connected to the housing and covers the printed circuit board. The housing cover includes a centrally-located post member integral to the housing. The post member extends through the through-hole of the housing and engages with the housing. The engagement between the housing and the housing cover prevents outward deflection of the housing cover.

In a first aspect of the invention there is provided a wind turbine blade comprising a shell and a shear web connected between a windward inner surface of the shell and a leeward inner surface of the shell. The shear web comprises an elongate web panel and a load-bearing flange extending transversely from a first side of the web panel to connect the shear web to the windward or leeward inner surface of the shell. The blade further comprises at least one non-structural flange extending transversely from a second side of the web panel. The non-structural flange has a substantially planar adhesive-receiving portion arranged in opposed relation to the windward or leeward inner surface of the shell. The load-bearing flange and the non-structural flange are formed of different materials.

This specification discloses an article of manufacture. The article of manufacture has at least one structural blank and at least one guide. The structural blank has a plurality of oriented fiber plies in a thermoplastic matrix. The guide has a plurality of random dispersed fibers in a thermoplastic matrix. The guide is affixed to the structural blank by injection molding and over molding the guide onto the structural blank. The article of manufacture can take a number of forms for use in industries such as aircraft, automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, trains or watercraft.

Described herein are various embodiments directed to rotor devices, methods, and systems. Embodiments of rotors disclosed herein may be used to characterize one or more analytes of a fluid. A method may include bonding a first layer and a second layer using two-shot injection molding. The first layer coupled to the second layer may collectively define a set of wells. The first layer may be substantially transparent. The second layer may define a channel. The second layer may be substantially absorbent to infrared radiation. A third layer may be bonded to the second layer using infrared radiation. The third layer may define an opening configured to receive a fluid. The third layer may be substantially transparent. The channel may establish a fluid communication path between the opening and the set of wells.

The present disclosure relates to a filtration device comprising a plurality of hollow fiber membranes, a process for its production, and its use for the dead-end filtration of infusion liquids.

A connection method and a connectable system to enable the connection of three components with simpler means. To this end, the components are positioned in such a way that connection surfaces of the first and second component and engaging elements of the first or second component and the third component face each other; and the first component is bonded to the second component by means of the connection surfaces, and the first or second component is positively connected to the third component by means of the engaging elements during the movement of the components in relation to each other along the common joining axis, the third component being fixed parallel and transversely to the joining axis after the connection by means of the first and the second component.

In a metal-resin composite member 1, 1, a first member M made of metal and a second member P, P made of resin are joined to each other via a first joining portion B defined by the first member M and the second member P, P in cooperation with each other, and the first member M made of metal and a third member P, P made of resin are joined to each other via a second joining portion B defined by the first member M and the third member P, P in cooperation with each other.

A method of assembling a fan wheel includes forming a first wheel portion including a first plurality of impeller blades and a first connector, forming a second wheel portion including a second plurality of impeller blades and a second connector, affixing an end of each of the first plurality of impeller blades to a first surface of a support ring such that the first connector is affixed to the second connector, and affixing an end of each of the second plurality of impeller blades to a second surface of a support ring.

A metallic holding element for absorbing or introducing a torque in a plastic housing is presented, wherein the holding element in the holding area features a profile with three, four, or five main corners, which are connected to each other via straight or convex edges, preferably the edges are generally curved in a convex manner respectively through one or more obtuse-angled intermediate corners.
