A method of producing a composite material includes preparing at least one molded product raw material by primary curing; preparing an assembled body by assembling the primarily cured molded product raw material with another molded product raw material; and integrally forming the molded product raw materials by heating the assembled body to a temperature equivalent to or higher than a glass transition point of the primarily cured molded product raw material to cause a phase of the at least one molded product raw material to transition to a rubberized state, by allowing an adhesive adjacent to the molded product raw material or the other molded product raw material adjacent to the molded product raw material to coexist with the molded product raw material in the rubberized state, and by secondarily curing the primarily cured at least one molded product raw material.

The present invention provides a pressure control device for maintaining a constant predetermined pressure in a fluid dispensing container, as well as a pressure control system which includes the device. The present invention further concerns a method for manufacturing the pressure control device and system of the invention. The invention is of particular importance in the technical field of aerosol sprays.

A medical device includes a balloon expanded scaffold crimped to a catheter having a balloon. The scaffold has a network of rings formed by struts connected at crowns and links connecting adjacent rings. The scaffold is crimped to the balloon by a process that includes using protective polymer sheaths or sheets during crimping, and adjusting the sheaths or sheets during the crimping to avoid or minimize interference between the polymer material and scaffold struts as the scaffold is reduced in size.

According to a method or an apparatus for fastening bristles in a bristle carrier (10) without using an anchor a heating (39) is provided in a tool part configured to transport the bristles. After inserting the bristles into anchoring openings (12) in the bristle carrier (10), the anchoring openings are closed by applying pressure.

A device for welding the bottom flange of a stiffener on the side of a skin. The stiffener and the skin are made of a composite comprising a thermoplastic polymer matrix. The device comprises a punch, an anvil and a press to make a clamping between the punch and the anvil. The punch comprises a part forming a pressure table with a cross-section width less than or equal to the width of the stiffener bottom flange and a heating element with width less than the width of the pressure table. The anvil comprises a cooling component and has a cross-section width smaller than the width of the skin. A method for implementing the device.

Provided is a method for producing a micro flow channel chip that is used for a treatment or analysis of a liquid sample, the method being capable of producing a micro flow channel chip with high shape accuracy and high efficiency. The method includes a step of forming a groove on one surface of a base material; a lamination step of forming an adhesive resin layer on at least one surface of a resin film, and thereby obtaining a first laminate; and an adhesion step of arranging the surface of the base material where a groove has been formed and the adhesive resin layer of the first laminate to face each other, and bonding the base material and the first laminate such that the adhesive resin layer covers the groove, in which the glass transition temperature of the adhesive resin layer is 25 C. or lower.

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 method of assessing bond quality of a bond between first and second composite parts may include bonding an indication film to the first composite part. The indication film may include NDI-detectable particles arranged in a pattern and bound to polymer chains located inside particle regions. The polymer chains and particles may be stationary during bonding of the indication film to the first composite part. The method may additionally include bonding the first and second composite parts along an assembly bondline during which the particles in the indication film migrate with the polymer chains. The method may further include NDI-inspection of the assembly bondline by observing the appearance of the particles along a direction locally normal to an in-plane direction of the assembly bondline, and determining the bond quality of the assembly bondline based on particle density in the in-plane direction.
