A device for stabilizing a concrete form includes an anchoring member with a channel aligned along a first axis, and elongate members with cavities aligned along a second axis, the elongate members coupled to form a frame. The device may include an anchoring post for insertion through the channel of the anchoring member to secure the device to a surface, and sliders with elongate bodies for insertion into the cavities of the elongate members, where the sliders are affixed to an engagement member structurally configured for engaging the concrete form. First retaining members may be structurally configured to engage the anchoring post when inserted through the channel of the anchoring member thereby maintaining a position of the frame along the first axis. Second retaining members may be structurally configured to engage a slider when inserted into the elongate member thereby maintaining a position of the slider along the second axis.

A production method for producing a product by joining a first part containing an inorganic powder and a binder to a second part containing an inorganic powder and a binder is provided. The production method includes a first step of forming the first part by a three-dimensional shaping apparatus, a second step of forming the second part, a third step of assembling the first part and the second part, thereby obtaining an assembly, a fourth step of heating the assembly at a first temperature, and a fifth step of heating the assembly at a second temperature higher than the first temperature after the fourth step, wherein the first part has a first region that comes in contact with the second part and a second region that does not come in contact with the second part, and a melting point of the binder contained in the first region is lower than a melting point of the binder contained in the second region.

A gas turbine engine component includes a gas turbine engine component body formed of a ceramic matrix composite material having at least one fastener integrally formed with the gas turbine engine component body as a single-piece structure. The gas turbine engine component body initially comprises a rigidized preform structure formed from a polymer based material. The at least one fastener connects the gas turbine engine component body to an engine support structure.

A method of manufacturing a tower structure includes providing an additive printing device having at least one printer head atop a support surface. The method also includes positioning a pre-fabricated component adjacent to the support surface. The pre-fabricated component is constructed of a composite material reinforced with a plurality of reinforcement members. Further, portions of the plurality of reinforcement members protrude from the composite material. Moreover, the method includes printing and depositing, via the at least one printer head, a cementitious material onto the support surface to build up the tower structure layer by layer around the pre-fabricated component. Thus, the portions of the plurality of reinforcement members that protrude from the composite material reinforce the cementitious material around the pre-fabricated component.

Disclosed herein are plaster boards having a first surface and an opposing second surface, and a first edge and an opposing second edge that bound the first surface and the second surface. The first surface includes a first section and a second section, the first section being raised compared to the second section, the second section abutting the second edge. The second surface includes a first section and a second section that are separated by a boundary between the first edge and the second edge. The first section of the second surface is substantially parallel to the first section of the first surface. The second section of the second surface slopes toward the first surface from the boundary toward the second edge. Methods for making the plaster boards involve forming wet plaster material and drying the wet plaster material such that the wet plaster material hardens into a plasterboard.

A method for manufacturing a ceramic substrate that includes preparing a plurality of ceramic green sheets, at least one of the plurality of ceramic green sheets having a disappearance material that disappears by firing in a recessed portion formation planned region of the at least one of the plurality of ceramic green sheets; forming a mother multilayer body by laminating the plurality of ceramic green sheets such that the at least the one ceramic green sheet having the disappearance material is positioned on an uppermost layer of the mother multilayer body; and forming a recessed portion in the mother multilayer body before firing by pressing the recessed portion formation planned region of the mother multilayer body.

A building panel with a high degree of isotropy with regard to the load bearing capacity and flexural strength. The building panel includes a first section and a second section, each section including at least one layer, each of the at least one layer having fibers, whereby the fibers are distributed substantially homogeneously throughout each layer, substantially parallel to the main surfaces of the panel and oriented predominantly in the same direction and the sections are firmly joined in transverse direction, and the first section is thinner than the second section.

A heater includes a base body and an internal conductor. The base body is made of ceramic. The internal conductor is located inside the base body and includes a connection portion. The base body includes a space extending from the connection portion to a lower surface of the base body. The space includes a first space and a second space. The first space contacts with the connection portion. The second space connects the first space and an outer side of the lower surface of the base body, and is smaller than the first space in a planar perspective of the lower surface of the base body.

Disclosed herein are plaster boards having a first surface and an opposing second surface, and a first edge and an opposing second edge that bound the first surface and the second surface. The first surface includes a first section and a second section, the first section being raised compared to the second section, the second section abutting the second edge. The second surface includes a first section and a second section that are separated by a boundary between the first edge and the second edge. The first section of the second surface is substantially parallel to the first section of the first surface. The second section of the second surface slopes toward the first surface from the boundary toward the second edge. Methods for making the plaster boards involve forming wet plaster material and drying the wet plaster material such that the wet plaster material hardens into a plasterboard.

A fiber-reinforced component for use in a gas turbine engine includes a first braided fiber sleeve forming a cooling channel and a plurality of fiber plies enclosing the first braided fiber sleeve, with the plurality of fiber plies forming first and second walls separated by the first braided fiber sleeve. The fiber-reinforced component further includes a matrix material between fibers of the braided fiber sleeve and the plurality of fiber plies.
