MOLDED ARTICLE AND IMPROVED VENTING ASSEMBLY FOR A ROTATING MOLD
A molded article with an axis of rotation about a central axis having an outer interface element, an inner interface element, and a plurality of web spokes positioned therebetween. The common surfaces of the inner and outer interface elements and a pair of adjacent web spokes form a void space. The radially inner surface of an interface element common to one of the voids has a maximum radius of curvature in the longitudinal direction at any given point less than the distance between that point and the axis of rotation.
CONDUCTIVE PLASTIC PRODUCT
An electrically conductive plastic product is made via rotational moulding. The product comprises a plastic matrix; and a network of conductive fibers of discrete length embedded in the plastic matrix. The conductive fibers are metal fibers. The network of conductive fibers provides electrical conductivity to the plastic product. The average length of the conductive fibers is at least 3 mm.

POLYETHYLENE COMPOSITIONS
Embodiments of polyethylene compositions and articles comprising polyethylene compositions are disclosed. The polyethylene compositions may include a first polyethylene fraction area defined by an area in the elution profile in a temperature range of 70° C. to 97° C. via improved comonomer composition distribution (iCCD) analysis method; a first peak in the temperature range of 70° C. to 97° C. in the elution profile; a second polyethylene fraction area defined by an area in the elution profile in a temperature range of 97° C. to 110° C.; and a second peak in the temperature range of 97° C. to 110° C. The polyethylene composition may have a density of 0.935 g/cm.sup.3 to 0.955 g/cm.sup.3 and a melt index (I.sub.2) of 1.0 g/10 minutes to 10.0 g/10 minutes. A ratio of the first polyethylene fraction area to the second polyethylene fraction area may be less than 2.0.
Spacer for a manufactured structure
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for a spacer for a manufactured structure. A spacer includes a plurality of legs where each leg includes an elongate member that extends from a proximal end to a distal end. The proximal end of each leg is connected to one another at a central point such that the legs are spaced radially about the central point and substantially equidistant from one another. The distal ends of the legs include a material that has a predefined melting point such that the distal ends attach to a surface in contact with the distal ends responsive to the predefined melting point being reached during a molding process.
