INDOOR-TRADITIONAL CLIMBING DEVICE COVER
20220347539 · 2022-11-03 ·

Traditional climbing is being sought out by more indoor climbers, however the issue that has arisen is that the only way to learn the method is through trial and error in the outdoors on real rock. An indoor-traditional climbing device (I-TCD) makes it possible to learn how to climb Traditionally in a safe environment with hands on instruction. Provided herein is a cover/shield for an I-TCD that allows not only for the placement of multiple kinds of gear within the I-TCD body, but it allows the climber to fall on that gear placement safely to determine the quality of their gear placement, without the risk of falling upon the I-TCD body. Therefore, the cover/shield provides an angled feature to reduce direct impact injuries while increasing the opportunity for climbers who wish to learn how to climb traditionally.

Display device and apparatus and method of manufacturing the same

A display device includes a cover member which is at least partially bent, a panel member arranged along a surface of the cover member, where the panel member displays an image, and a support member arranged on another surface of the panel member different from the surface of the panel member on which the cover member is arranged.

LOW-COST, HIGH-VOLUME PRODUCTION METHOD FOR AEROGEL MONOLITH PRODUCTION IN AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS
20230111164 · 2023-04-13 · ·

A method of producing a plurality of parts includes placing a sol mixture into a cavity of a tool, optionally placing a metal foil over a top of the cavity and placing a graphite gasket over the metal foil, and securing the tool with the sol mixture to form a tooling capsule. Tooling capsules are placed within a conveyor system and are heated until the solvent of the sol mixture reaches at least supercritical conditions of the solvent. Pressure is released within each of the tooling capsules after the supercritical conditions are reached, and then the tooling capsules are cooled to approximately room temperature. The parts are removed from the tooling capsules, and the method is continuous.

MOLDED PRODUCT TAKE-OUT APPARATUS
20230148322 · 2023-05-11 ·

A molded product take-out apparatus includes: a controller independent of a molding machine; a take-out robot for releases a molded product from a mold in the molding machine by a command from the controller; a temperature controller regulates the temperature of the mold; a material dryer dries material to be supplied to the molding machine; and a material conveyor supplies the dried material to the molding machine. The controller is network-connected to the take-out robot and the temperature controller and the material dryer and the material conveyor. The controller is configured to control a release operation of the take-out robot to differentiate a release place between when judging that a detection data to be within an allowable range and another case.
