Abstract:
A method of bonding a silicone-based element to a textile based element is provided. The method comprises steps that enable a user to bond a silicone-based element to a textile based element using a fibrous material to strengthen the bond. An assembly constructed according to the method is also provided. This assembly is particularly suited to being disposed against skin due to the high biocompatibility of silicone, particularly PDMS.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for manufacturing a transaction card. The disclosed methods and apparatuses may be used to form a transaction card frame within a mold. The transaction card frame may include one or more recessed portions formed within a first surface of the transaction card frame. The one or more recessed portions may be configured for affixing one or more electronic components.

Abstract:
A molding module 2 includes: a mold 11 including a lower mold 10 and an upper mold 7 facing each other; a cavity 12 provided in the lower mold; a bottom member 9 forming the inner bottom surface 14 of the cavity; a circumferential member 8 forming the inner circumferential surface 13 of the cavity; a mold-driving mechanism for opening and closing the mold 11; a lower base 3; a support member 4 vertically provided on the lower base; an upper base 5 provided in the upper portion of the support member; and an elevating platen 6 mounted on the middle portion of the support member in a vertically moveable manner. Motors 16 and 23 included in the mold-driving mechanism are respectively attached to the lower base and the elevating platen. The upper mold is attached to the upper base. The circumferential member is connected to the elevating platen. The bottom member is connected to the motor 23. The circumferential member is driven vertically by the elevating platen which is driven vertically by the motor 16. The bottom member is driven vertically by the motor 23.
Abstract:
A mold for forming a motor vehicle part from a polymer material comprising at least one partially overmolded metal insert having a portion intended to be covered with polymer material and a portion intended to be left uncovered. The insert comprises an overmolding limit and the mold comprises a die and a punch capable of taking different positions between: an open position for introduction of inserts and polymer material in the mold, and a molding position wherein the mold cavity is closed, the mold comprising holding means and blocking area at least one movable part and at least one projection extending over a sealing area completely including the insert overmolding limit, to prevent the polymer material from crossing the sealing area seeping between the part of the insert intended to not be covered and one of the opposite faces of the holding means and of the blocking area.
Abstract:
In an embodiment of the disclosure, there is provided a molded-in insert for high strength retention in a fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite structure. The insert has a cylindrical body and at least one circumferential groove formed in the cylindrical body, the groove having a substantially concave configuration, having a groove radius of 0.025 inch or greater, and having the groove radius greater than or equal to a groove depth.
Abstract:
An elastomeric seal (20), such as a shaft seal for automotive vehicle applications, includes an elastomeric compound (22) chemically coupled to a metal sealing ring (24) and is formed without an oven post curing step. The elastomeric seal (20) provides exceptional physical properties, similar to those of elastomeric seals of the prior art formed with an oven post curing step. The elastomeric seal (20) has an elastic modulus of 6.0 MPa to 13.0 MPa and a tensile strength of 11.1 MPa to 14.8 MPa. The elastomeric compound (22) includes 52.0 to 68.0 wt. % fluoroelastomer, 20.0 to 35.0 wt. % calcium silicate, and 5.0 to 15.0 wt. % diatomite. The elastomeric compound (22) is fully cured and chemically coupled to the metal sealing ring (24) during the compression or injection molding step, and thus an oven post curing step is not required.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a resin molded electronic component using a first mold having a cavity with an open top surface and a second mold combined with the first mold on top includes the following steps: (A) inserting a element of the electronic component and a liquid resin precursor into the cavity of the first mold, the liquid resin precursor having viscosity of 10 Pa·s or lower at 40° C.; (B) arranging the second mold such that the element and the resin precursor are sandwiched after the step (A); and (C) pressing the element and the resin precursor between the first mold and the second mold, and curing the resin precursor by heat from the second mold after the step (B). A temperature of the second mold is set to be higher than that of the first mold.

Abstract:
A reflexotherapy device to stimulate reflex points of the human body provides reliable and integral fastening of needles within an elastic base member to achieve a stable position of needles under any conditions of utilization of the device, and to carry out both static and dynamic impact on extensive areas of reflex zones. The device comprises elastic base member 1 with needles 2 fastened therein, each needle being provided with thickened end 3, and sharpened end 4 protruding from base member 1. In one embodiment the needles are fastened in the course of curing of the integral structure, and in another embodiment the position of needles 2 is fixed, so that thickened ends are disposed between two layers to be joined together.
