A connector for connecting a tube to a connection element. The connector includes a housing, which has a coupling portion. The coupling portion is adapted to be at least substantially fluid-tightly connectable to a complementary connection portion of the connection element. The connector includes a tube connection piece, which is adapted to be connectable on the one hand to a tube and on the other hand to the housing in order to make a fluid connection between the tube and the coupling portion of the housing. The housing includes at least one polyolefin.

The present disclosure is directed to a formulations of cements and methods for bonding dissimilar materials. The formulations and methods can bond a Non-polyvinyl chloride (PVC) containing first polyolefin that is amorphous or has low crystallinity to a second material that is a rigid material or a hard PVC. The methods and formulations can work by co-dissolution at an interface, or activation of a one of the materials prior to bonding.

A hollow fiber membrane module 10 has a hollow fiber membrane bundle 11 and a housing case 15. The housing case 15 has first molding members 17 and a second molding member 18. At each first molding member, a tubular portion 19 and a nozzle portion 20 are integrally molded. The second molding member 18 has a tubular shape coaxially continuous from the tubular portion 19. Values obtained by dividing, by the wall thickness of the second molding member, the wall thicknesses of the housing case 15 at positions separated in the axial direction from a connecting position toward the first molding member 17 side by distances of 3 times and 5 times the wall thickness of the second molding member 18 are 1.0 to 1.3 and 1.0 to 1.5, respectively.

An apparatus for producing endless 3-D printed belts using in papermaking and an apparatus for producing endless 3-D printed belts laminated to a substrate for additional strength and dimensional stability during use.

A deflection member that includes a reinforcing member that includes a resin coating, and at least one tile fastened to the resin coating.

A deflection member that includes a reinforcing member that includes a resin coating, and at least one tile fastened to the resin coating.

A computer-implemented method for dividing a virtual three-dimensional overall model of a body into at least two virtual partial models, includes: Creating a virtual separating surface for the overall model of the body, which has a three-dimensional cell-conforming shape; Creating the overall model of the body with a lattice structure formed from a plurality of cells; and Dividing the overall model along the cell-conforming separating surface into two partial models, so that when the overall model is divided, common struts of the lattice structure, which are each part of at least one cell of one partial model and part of at least one adjacent cell of the other partial model are divided by means of the cell-conforming separating surface in such a way that the corresponding cells remain closed.

A method for producing a composite body from at least two partial bodies, at least one of the partial bodies being produced in an additive manufacturing process, includes exposing the at least two partial bodies to a solvent atmosphere, so that one surface of the partial body is smoothed. The at least two partial bodies are placed in the chamber in such a way that they touch at least one joining surface and that the solvent atmosphere creates a material connection between the at least two partial bodies on the at least one joining surface.

An implantable medical device includes a first component including a first material, a second component including a second material, and a fiber matrix including a plurality of fibers. The fiber matrix joins the first component to the second component. The fiber matrix includes a first a first portion connected to the first component, and a second portion connected to the second component. The first portion of the fiber matrix is interpenetrated with, and mechanically fixed to, the first material. The first portion of the fiber matrix directly contacts the first material.
