A method of curing spokes (10) is provided in which first molds of a first (14) and second series (16) of molds are placed into a platen, and force and heat applied. The platen (12) is opened and the first mold (1(1)) of the first series (14) is moved relative to the platen while the position of the first mold (1(2)) of the second series (16) is kept the same relative to the platen. Force and heat are applied to the molds. The platen (12) is opened, and the first mold (1(1)) of the first series is removed while the second mold (2(1)) of the first series is kept within the platen. A cured spoke is removed from the first mold of the first series.

Described is a rosin press system for extracting rosin (oil) from plant material. The rosin press system includes a male plate with a male protrusion and a female plate formed to matingly receive the male protrusion. The plates can be heated such that when plant material is pressed between the plates, rosin is pressed from the plant material and allowed to drain from a drain hole positioned at the middle of the female plate.

The present invention provides a method for preparing an ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composite material including the following steps: providing a substrate material having medical grade ultra high molecular weight polyethylene powders, drying the substrate material to obtain fully dried UHMWPE powders, and pressing the fully dried UHMWPE powders to form a UHMWPE board; immersing the UHMWPE board into a graphene oxide solution and performing an ultrasonic induction by an ultrasonic processor such that the graphene oxide solution infiltrates into the UHMWPE substrate to obtain an ultra high molecular weight polyethylene composite material with excellent biocompatibility and tribological properties. The graphene oxide can be adsorbed and evenly spread on the surface of UHMWPE substrate by ultrasonic induction to form a lubricating film which can effectively reduce wear.

A multilayer core molding method includes: an upstream process of obtaining an intermediate molded body 33; and a downstream process of performing molding using a downstream process molding apparatus 2, and wherein the downstream process includes: an intermediate molded body arrangement step of arranging the intermediate molded body on the intermediate plate cavity surface or the first downstream process mold cavity surface; and a first vulcanization step, performed after the intermediate molded body arrangement step, of vulcanization-molding the intermediate molded body until it is substantially or completely vulcanized, in a state in which at least the first downstream process mold and the intermediate plate are closed against each other.

A method for manufacturing a thrust reverser blocker door may comprise thermoforming a sandwich panel comprising a facesheet, a backsheet, and a honeycomb core. The method may further comprising overmolding a mounting structure onto the backsheet. The first thermoplastic material may comprise a continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite material. The second thermoplastic material may comprise a discontinuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite material.

A device for producing an edgefold on a component is suggested, wherein the component includes a support and a cover layer. The component may be an inner lining part of a motor vehicle, without limitation thereto. The device comprises an elastic body, which is set up to pull the cover layer over an edge of the support by deforming the elastic body.

In general, this disclosure relates to an apparatus that compresses lightweight plastic waste (e.g., used grocery bags, empty trash bags, food wrappers, etc.), and then applies a limited amount of heat to “bake” the compressed plastic into a “brick” of plastic. The plastic is compressed, and then heated enough to cause it to retain its compressed shape, without melting or substantial outgassing.

A thrust reverser blocker door includes a body portion and a mounting structure coupled to the body portion. The body portion includes a facesheet, a backsheet, and a honeycomb core. The facesheet and/or the backsheet comprises a first thermoplastic material and the mounting structure comprises a second thermoplastic material. A method for manufacturing a thrust reverser blocker door may comprise thermoforming a sandwich panel comprising a facesheet, a backsheet, and a honeycomb core. The method may further comprising overmolding a mounting structure onto the backsheet. The first thermoplastic material may comprise a continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite material. The second thermoplastic material may comprise a discontinuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite material.

The invention relates to a method and a device for manufacturing an articular prosthesis implant using a mould comprising a ceramic imprint (1) moved by a piston (2), the ceramic imprint (1) pressing the thermoplastic material introduced into the mould.

A heat-resistant release sheet of the present disclosure is a sheet formed of a single-layer heat-resistant resin film having a thickness of 35 pm or less, wherein the sheet is disposed between a compression bonding target and a thermocompression head at the time of thermocompression-bonding the compression bonding target by the thermocompression head to prevent fixation between the compression bonding target and the thermocompression head, and a heat-resistant resin forming the heat-resistant resin film has a melting point of 310° C. or higher and/or a glass transition temperature of 210° C. or higher. A use temperature of this heat-resistant release sheet can be, for example, 250° C. or higher. The heat-resistant release sheet of the present disclosure can more reliably meet a demand for an increase in thermocompression bonding temperature.
