A panel (20) having opposite surfaces (22, 24), and including sheets (42, 43) and elongated cores or voids (40). The cores/voids extend parallel along a first direction (X), are arranged mutually adjacent in a second direction (Y), and include an outermost core/void (40a) along a panel edge (26). Each sheet includes a medial portion (44, 45) between two adjacent cores/voids, a first lateral portion (46, 47) folded away from the medial portion over one adjacent core/void, and towards the second direction along the first surface, and a second lateral portion (48, 49) folded away from the medial portion over another adjacent core/void, and towards a negative second direction (−Y) along the second surface. The sheets include an enveloping sheet (43), the first lateral portion (47) thereof extending into a folded lateral region (50, 52) that at the panel edge is folded around the outermost core/void, and extends in the negative second direction back towards the second surface.

Inflatable medical devices and methods for making and using the same are disclosed. The devices can be medical invasive balloons, such as those used for transcutaneous heart valve implantation, such as balloons used for transcatheter aortic-valve implantation. The balloons can have high strength, fiber-reinforced walls.

A unit configured to form a tube for producing sealed packages starting from a sheet of packaging material having opening devices pre-applied thereon, comprises at least one guiding assembly configured to interact with the sheet of packaging material to fold it gradually into a tube shape; the guiding assembly comprises a plurality of folding rollers delimiting a passage for the sheet of packaging material and each having a lateral wall configured to cooperate in contact with the sheet of packaging material to control the folding thereof; the folding rollers comprise at least one folding roller having at least one recess on the lateral wall thereof, the recess defining a slot configured to be engaged by the opening devices.

An apparatus for molding a pouch, the pouch having a first seating part and a second seating part, that are connected to each other, the pouch being configured such that when an electrode assembly is mounted and sealed therein, the first seating part and the second seating part are folded to cover top and bottom surfaces of the electrode assembly, and the first seating part and the second seating part are in contact with each other. The apparatus includes, a lower mold in which a first groove recessed by a predetermined depth from a top surface thereof is formed, and a second groove is additionally recessed from a bottom surface of the first grove; and an upper mold on which a flat portion is formed on one surface thereof, which is inserted into the first groove, and a protrusion inserted into the second groove protrudes from the flat portion.

A laminated moulded part of fibre-reinforced resin matrix composite material, the moulded part comprising a first ply comprising fibres impregnated with a resin, an outer surface of the first ply defining an outer surface of the laminated moulded part, a rope located around at least a part of a periphery of the first ply, the rope comprising a plurality of strands of fibres twisted together and impregnated with a resin, a second ply comprising fibres impregnated with a resin, the second ply at least partly covering an inner surface of the first ply, at least a portion of a peripheral edge of the second ply being located inwardly of a corresponding portion of the rope, and at least a portion of the periphery of the first ply being folded over so as to wrap around the rope and cover the corresponding peripheral edge of the second ply.

The present disclosure relates to liners and methods of making liners. The liners may be suitable for use with tanks and other storage/containment vessels, such as process tanks, immersion tanks, indoor or outdoor containment pits, gravity feed conduits (e.g., concrete trench, canal, or drain, etc.) for transferring or conveying liquid, grain storage tanks or containers (e.g., dielectric or electrically non-conductive liners for grain storage, etc.), etc.

Disclosed are a method and/or a system of stitchless bedding. In one aspect, a bedsheet component includes a fabric having an angled corner area. A marginal border is folded to include a top marginal fold and a bottom marginal fold. The top marginal fold is aligned to be substantially parallel with the bottom marginal fold. An adhesive is inserted between the top marginal fold and the bottom marginal fold. A heat and/or a pressure is applied to the top marginal fold and/or the bottom marginal fold to soften the adhesive. The adhesive further permeates a portion of the top marginal fold and a portion of the bottom marginal fold. The top marginal fold and the bottom marginal fold are held together as a single, complete flexible unit when the adhesive is cured.
