Publication number: 20120175058Abstract: Curling of a laminated film is efficiently corrected. The water vapor is brought into contact with the base layer on the outside of the laminated film in a curled state during the first phase transition process. The glass transition temperature of the base layer is lowered. In the base layer, phase transition from the glass state to the rubber state occurs. Supply of the water vapor to the base layer is stopped in the second phase transition process. In the base layer, phase transition from the rubber state to the glass state occurs. The phase transition creates curling that can correct the original curl. The original curl can be corrected by continuously carrying out the first phase transition process and the second phase transition process.

Publication number: 20100193118Abstract: A method is provided for heat welding plastic material. A welding tip is provided and is configured to slidably receive a welding rod and to direct a flow of hot air toward such a welding rod from a hot air source to melt a leading end of the rod as the welding rod is advanced therethrough. Plastic sheets are positioned edgewise adjacent one another to form a seam therebetween. A v-shaped groove is cut into and along the seam, and the sheets are then welded together along the seam by feeding a welding rod through the welding tip while positioning and moving the welding tip adjacent and along the seam as the welding tip directs hot air to heat the welding rod and the sheets along the groove such that the welding rod flows into the groove and welds to respective sheet surfaces defining the groove. Also provided is an insert for making the v-shaped groove.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2010Publication date: August 5, 2010Inventors: John D. Rouse, Jeremy R. Lee

Publication number: 20100187039Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sandwich panel includes, but is not limited to the steps of providing at least one air-permeable core layer and at least one porous cover layer, applying an adhesive onto a first area of the core layer, pressing the cover layer onto the first area of the core layer to connect the cover layer to the core layer, and applying an airstream that from the outside is directed onto the cover layer and that moves through the cover layer and the core layer. By means of such an airstream it is possible to prevent excessive accumulation of adhesive on the cover layer, which otherwise would result in partial blocking of the cover layer. By varying the intensity of the airstream the flow resistance of the arrangement including, but not limited to, the cover layer and the core layer may be determined and set during the bonding process. In this way a sandwich panel with precise sound-absorption behavior can be manufactured.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2010Publication date: July 29, 2010Applicant: AIRBUS OPERATIONS GMBHInventor: Joakim HOLMGREN

Patent number: 7743809Abstract: A hot-air fabric welder for waterproofing tape is invented for selectively welding straight portions and arc portions. The hot-air fabric welder for waterproof tape is comprised of: a lower roller unit including a flat roller portion and a tapered roller portion mounted to the upper end of a support. The lower roller unit is divided into a flat roller body and a tapered roller body for selectively positioning into contact with the upper roller, so that the surface of the lower roller unit contacts the upper roller. A driving means is provided for rotating the lower roller unit. A pivoting means is provided for rotating the support on which the lower roller unit is mounted for selective use of the flat roller portion or the tapered roller portion. A hot-air generating unit is linked to the lower roller unit, driving unit and pivoting unit, and an upper roller is arranged above the lower roller unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2007Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Inventor: Gi-Won Seo

Patent number: 7721781Abstract: An inflatable web, and method and apparatus for inflating the web, which generally includes two sheets having inner surfaces sealed to each other in a pattern defining a series of inflatable chambers of predetermined length, each of the chambers having at least one change in width over their length; an inflation port located at a proximal end of each chamber, the inflation ports being formed by intermittent seals between the sheets; and longitudinal flanges formed by a portion of each of the sheets that extend beyond the inflation ports and intermittent seals.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2006Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Sealed Air CorporationInventors: Charles R. Sperry, Suzanne Scott

Publication number: 20100122762Abstract: An improved wafer-to-wafer bonding method includes aligning an upper and a lower wafer and initiating a bond at a single point by applying pressure to a single point of the upper wafer via the flow of pressurized gas through a port terminating at the single point. The bond-front propagates radially across the aligned oppositely oriented wafer surfaces at a set radial velocity rate bringing the two wafer surfaces into full atomic contact by controlling the gas pressure and/or controlling the velocity of the motion of the lower wafer up toward the upper wafer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2009Publication date: May 20, 2010Applicant: SUSS MICROTEC INCInventor: GREGORY GEORGE

Patent number: 7717150Abstract: A shuffling hand feeling and unwanted non-uniform absorption characteristics in the case of using a tow (fiber bundle) are prevented. An absorbent body includes a fiber aggregate 21 formed by opening the tow, a super absorbent polymer 54, and a sheet covering these components; and includes the super absorbent polymer 54 bonded to the sheet 58 with an adhesive that is applied in a continuous plane to the entire surface or the substantially entire surface of at least the portion to be provided with the super absorbent polymer 54 in this sheet 58.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2005Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: Daio Paper CorporationInventors: Sadanao Manabe, Hiroyuki Hanao, Takeshi Furudoi, Akinori Fukae, Toshikazu Maeda, Hiroyuki Yano, Taira Kubo, Yoshiharu Miyashita, Tomotsugu Matsui
