Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an IR tube sealing device and method of sealing a polymer tube with infrared energy. In particular embodiments, the IR tube sealing device can be a portable, hand-held device adapted to receive and compress a polymer tube, and produce and direct infrared energy toward the compressed polymer tube to quickly form a permanent aseptic seal.

The present invention relates to trim component for covering an interior space of a means for transporting passengers, in particular of a vehicle, comprising a support element which has at least one separation surface and at least one edge-folded section abutting the separation surface, wherein the support element has at least one folded edge which includes at least one edge-folded section. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for producing such a trim component.

A method of producing a reinforcing fiber preform includes: holding at least one substrate laminate by a shaping mold composed of at least two molds that face each other, wherein the at least one substrate laminate is selected from a substrate laminate produced by laminating multiple reinforcing fiber substrates each having a fixing material applied to at least one surface thereof and a substrate laminate produced by laminating multiple reinforcing fiber substrates with the fixing material interposed therebetween; and subsequently applying an electric current to the substrate laminate in a direction of lamination to heat the reinforcing fiber substrates and thereby apply heat to the fixing material to fix substrate layers in the substrate laminate to each other; wherein a means of making electric resistance in a fixing area is relatively lower compared to that in a non-fixing area in the substrate laminate.

A method for preventing a molded body made of low melting point resin from being thermally damaged when external connection terminals provided on the molded body and external connection terminals provided on a flexible sheet are joined together via soldering. The method includes arranging the connection terminal of the molded body and the connection terminal of the flexible sheet such that the connection terminals face each other, and an electromagnetic induction heating performing electromagnetic induction heating after the arranging.

A method of blind welding thermoplastic composite components is provided that includes: providing a first thermoplastic composite having a FTPC bonding surface, a second thermoplastic composite having a STPC bonding surface, and an interface layer; disposing the interface layer between the FTPC STPC bonding surfaces; applying a normal force to the outer surface of the first thermoplastic composite component; applying an electromagnetic field to at least portions of the first and second thermoplastic composite components and the interface layer while the normal force is applied, and maintaining the application of the electromagnetic field until the first and second thermoplastic composite components and the interface layer create a weld pool; and removing the application of the electromagnetic field after the weld pool is created.

The present invention relates to a pouch-shaped secondary battery sealing apparatus and a pouch-shaped secondary battery manufacturing method capable of radiating an infrared laser to a sealed portion in an overlapping state, whereby it is possible to increase sealing force, to prevent occurrence of wrinkles, and to reduce sealing time when forming a sealed portion of a pouch-shaped secondary battery case.
