A method for connecting the joint of two ends of at least one chassis sealing element. In order to allow a secure and quick connection of the ends and allow an additional unhindered passage of air and moisture between hollow chambers within the chassis sealing element via the joint when using a profiled hollow chamber, the ends are first arranged at a distance to each other, and a shapeless bonding agent is applied to at least one end. The bonding agent is then heated, and the ends are brought into mutual contact, whereby the ends are bonded at the joint by way of the heated bonding agent.

Described are methods and systems for identifying processing locations in composite layups. An optical magnetic marker is magnetically supported by a layup tool at a target position, such that a portion of the marker protrudes above the tool processing surface. When a composite layup is placed onto that surface, the protruding portion extends into the layup at a processing location. When the layup is cured, the marker is permanently embedded into the layup. Separating the cured layup from the tool removes the marker from the tool and allows an additional marker to advance into the target position for processing another layup. The embedded marker or, more specifically, marker's reflective surface is used during optical inspection of the layup surface to precisely determine the processing location. In some examples, the marker is consumed while the layup is processed at that location,

In the method for producing a tire carcass ply for a vehicle, the ply is wound onto a drum and contains reinforcements running in planes that are radial to an axis of the drum, of which: at least one assembly member (51, 52) mounted such that it can move in relation to the drum brings the ends of the ply together and assembles them by travelling over the ply in a direction (X) parallel to the ends; and prior to assembly, a blade independent of the one or of each assembly member extends between the drum and the ends without extending between the drum and the rest of the ply.

A device (1) for delivery of film for a station for packaging by plastic-wrapping, includes: at least two reels (2), each including at least one support shaft (3) for a film roll as well as a film guide (4), in particular in the form of a roller downstream from the shaft; a return roller (5), up to which an unwound film (6) travels from the roll of one of the reels (2); a loader for bringing the reserve film (9) from the roll of the at least one other reel (2) close to the unwound film. The loader includes a rotor (10), which rolls up the reserve film (9) around it in such a way as to bring it close to the unwound film (6). A machine that uses this device as well as a corresponding method are also described.

A method of composite part manufacturing includes inserting a tooling pin of a magnet into a ply charge. The method also includes coupling the ply charge to a tool using the magnet and a second magnet of the tool. The magnet positions the ply charge on the tool. The tooling pin provides a retaining force to resist movement of the ply charge. The method further includes applying resin to the ply charge and curing the resin to form a cured composite material.

An apparatus for manufacturing a display apparatus includes: a first mold configured to accommodate a cover member thereon; a magnetic first guide in the first mold; a second mold arranged to face the first mold; and a magnetic shape-variable unit in the second mold. The shape-variable unit is configured to come into contact with and move a panel member toward the cover member, and a first portion of the panel member is configured to contact the cover member before a second portion of the panel member contacts the cover member due to a magnetic force between the shape-variable unit and the first guide.
