A method for producing polymer coated steel sheet for 3-piece cans and 3-piece cans produced thereof.

A method for manufacturing structural rods to make it easier to manufacture a structural rod for an aircraft and to improve performance. Each rod includes a rod body and two end portions disposed at either end of the rod body along a longitudinal central rod axis, each end portion comprising at least one mounting lug that protrudes from the rod body along the longitudinal axis. The method includes producing a sandwich panel including two skins gripping a cellular inner body, at least one of the two outer skins having a skin extension for forming a part of the at least one mounting lug of at least one of the two end portions of the rod, and cutting the panel along parallel cutting lines to obtain the structural rods.

Methods are disclosed for converting on a mass scale elongated material webs into finished parts or devices. Slits form strands in a web, the strands comprising interconnected objects which correspond to parts of finished devices. Strands are combined with additional webs to form a material laminate from which finished devices are die cut. The methods are suitable for a range of converting applications including medical devices, particularly the external nasal dilator. Complex dilator devices produced from the methods are formed as a single body truss having horizontal regions adapted to engage outer wall tissues of first and second nasal passages of a nose. When in use the dilator stabilizes or expands nasal outer wall tissues and prevents the outer wall tissues from drawing inward during breathing. Methods of manufacture comprise separate steps for fabricating and assembling the elements and layers of finished dilator devices and for packaging finished devices individually or in groups. Waste material is incorporated into subsequent fabrication processes to produce the same or complementary devices.

A wagon (90b) Includes a plurality of horizontal support bars (91f). A separator roll (12b) is stocked while the horizontal support bar is inserted into a core of the separator roll (12b) around which core a separator is rolled. This can prevent deformation and roll misalignment of the stocked separator roll.

A nasal dilator comprises adjacent, substantially parallel resilient members having mid-sections substantially parallel to the dilator longitudinal centerline and end portions that diverge obliquely away from the centerline. The dilator may comprise a laminate of vertically stacked material layers that each have a different peripheral shape, and greater or lesser surface area, from that of the others. The dilator may comprise resilient members that diverge or curve symmetrically about the dilator longitudinal centerline such that a shape of a resilient member on one side of a lateral centerline is a mirror image of its shape on the opposite side of the lateral centerline.

Method for producing a packaging film strip for providing a number of individual packaging film parts for packing food or beverages, wherein the packaging film contains for each designated individual packaging film part an area having a printed two-dimensional code as unique packaging or product identifier. The process comprises the steps of providing at least one first substrate film strip (10, 25), applying on one side of said at least one first substrate film strip (10, 25) an artwork printing (20) for each individual packaging film part, depositing a DFC ink area (28) for each individual packaging film part onto the surface of the substrate film strip (10, 12) lying opposite to the artwork printing (20), slitting the packaging film to provide a series of individual packaging film parts running along the longside of the packaging film, ablating the individual DFC ink areas (28) by a computer-controlled laser beam (8) for providing a predetermined and individual code (2, 3, 30) as unique packaging or product identifier, cleaning the surface of the film strip comprising the individual codes (2, 3, 30), and checking the quality of the codes (2, 3, 30).
