There are provided a method and a device for manufacturing an iron core product, including: holding first and second inserts by first and second holding portions provided in a holding unit; and then displacing at least one of the first holding portion and the second holding portion such that a posture of the first insert corresponds to an opening of a first receiving portion provided in a first main surface of a first receiver and a posture of the second insert corresponds to an opening of a second receiving portion provided in the first main surface; thereafter inserting the first insert from the first holding portion into the first receiving portion and inserting the second insert from the second holding portion into the second receiving portion in a state where the holding unit is arranged to face the first main surface.

A magnetic encoder in which a support member and a plastic magnet do not adhere to each other is manufactured using a mold. The plastic magnet has a turning molded portion on the outer circumferential side thereof. The gate of the mold is an inner-diameter-side disk gate and a length L thereof in the axial direction is in a range of 0.2 mm≤L≤0.6 mm. The tensile strength of the material of the plastic magnet is 65 MPa or more and the Young's modulus thereof is 4000 MPa or more and 15000 MPa or less. The method includes a step of opening the mold and placing the support member as an insert object in the mold, and a step of closing the mold and injecting a melted material of the plastic magnet into a cavity through the disk gate.

An anti-fouling surface having micron scale pillars embedded with Fe.sub.3O.sub.4 nanoparticles is designed. The pillars may be repeatedly induced to move according to a predetermined frequency, such as one that mimic that of the beating movement of natural cilia, through the application of a magnetic field. When square-shaped pillars with a height of 10 μm, width of 2 μm, and inter-pattern distance of 5 μm actuated for three minutes, more than 99.9 percent of biofilm cells were detached and via gentle rinsing from the surface having the pillars. The anti-fouling surface enables effective prevention of biofilm formation and removal of established biofilms, and can be applied to a broad spectrum of polymers.

The first magnet comprises a plurality of poles having a first leading edge comprising a first pole and the second magnet comprises a plurality of poles having a second leading edge comprising a second pole that is opposite to the first pole.

A method for production of a molded part made of plastic by rotational molding includes placing a starting material in a form of at least one of a plastic or a plastic precursor into a rotational melt mold that is fitted with at least one magnetic element. The rotational melt mold is rotated and, while the rotational melt mold is rotating, the starting material is shaped. The at least one magnetic element rotates together with the rotational melt mold while the starting material is being shaped. The starting material and the at least one magnetic element are configured in such a way that the starting material and the at least one magnetic element interact magnetically such that a portion of the starting material is attracted and held in place by the at least one magnetic element while the starting material is being shaped.

A removable fluid barrier comprises a generally planar flexible body fabricated of at least one resilient material and encapsulating a plurality of permanent magnets. The flexible body has an outer face defining a sealing surface of the removable fluid barrier.

The invention relates to a method for producing a rubber component (1), in the case of which at least one electronic assembly (2) is embedded between a lower and an upper ply (10, 11) of a rubber material, comprising the steps: a) providing a length portion of the lower ply (10) of the rubber material, which is equipped, on the top side (100), with at least one electronic assembly (2); b) stationarily positioning the length portion of the lower ply (10); c) unrolling a length portion of the upper ply (11) of the rubber material on the top side (100) of the stationary length portion of the lower ply (10) in an unrolling direction (A), and fixedly adhesively connecting the length portions of the plies (10, 11) of the rubber material so as to embed the at least one electronic assembly (2); d) conveying out the length portion of the rubber component (1).

A corresponding device for producing the rubber components (1) is also specified.

A method of manufacturing a molded solid surface includes mixing ferrous particles into a resinous material, injecting the resinous material including the ferrous particles into a mold, the mold including an upper mold half and a lower mold half, creating a predetermined pattern in the resinous material by applying a force to the ferrous particles in the resinous material toward a surface of the upper mold half or the lower mold half using one or more magnets, and curing the resinous material in the mold into the molded solid surface.

The present invention relates to methods of manufacturing moulded products, for example building panels, and in particular, but not exclusively, to manufacturing a panel comprising natural stone or rock set into a polymeric layer. The method of manufacturing a moulded product as described herein comprises at least one article being set into a polymeric layer, followed by placing the at least one article and particulate ferrous material in a container so that at least a portion of the or each article is embedded in the particulate ferrous material, introducing a polymeric material into the container to form the moulded product, and removing the moulded product from the container.
