Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for shaping a corner of a printed circuit board are disclosed. An apparatus in accordance with one embodiment includes a carrier configured to releasably contact a printed circuit board, a curved contact surface positioned to roll against a corner of the printed circuit board. Optionally, another curved contact surface can be positioned to roll against another corner of the printed circuit board. The contact surface can be rotatable relative to the carrier about a rotation axis that is generally parallel to at least a portion of the curved contact surface. The contact surface can be continuous or discontinuous, and can shape the corner of the printed circuit board with a reduced tendency for damage to the printed circuit board. Multiple contact surfaces can be rotatable about different rotation axes.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for co-curing a multiple material golf club head is disclosed herein. The club head preferably is composed of a metal face component and an aft-body composed of a plurality of plies of pre-preg material.

Abstract: The invention concerns a texturing film that is flexible enough to be applied to a clay model to add texture and color to the surface of the clay model, and a method of forming and using the texturing film. The texturing film may be formed of a latex-based paint mixed with a high-solids water-based butyl ester polymer peelable coating.

Abstract: A three-dimensional structure, and a method and device for producing the structure, where the structure has pressure resistant characteristics despite its voluminous and elastic nature and has higher resistance to surface wear and mechanical dimensional stability than a foamed polyethylene sheet. The three-dimensional structure is characterized in that a resin sheet has needle-like projections on its both faces, each projection has a height (H) of 3 mm or more, the height (H) and a width (W) of the projection at the height of H/2 has a relationship of H?2.5 W, the projection has a hole in its tip, and the projections are joined to a sheet-like object at their tops.

Abstract: A scrapless thermoforming machine includes a plurality of transport trays having frames configured to hold thermoplastic billets and billet clamps. An oven is configured to heat the billets and a forming press is configured to form the billets into containers. A loading and unloading station has a billet loading side and a container unloading side. The loading and unloading station includes a clamp transfer station having a clamp transfer shuttle configured to move the clamps from the container unloading side to the billet loading side and a transport tray unloading mechanism on the container unloading side configured to unload the clamps and formed containers from a selected transport tray to the clamp transfer station.
