Abstract: A method of manufacturing a vent for a pipeline liner comprises overmoulding a porous element in a polymer body. This produces a vent in which the element extends across, and is in fluid communication with, a through-passage formed in the body during overmoulding. The element is supported in a mould cavity clamped between opposed internal mould formations that define at least part of the through-passage. The integrity of the vent and of the interface between the vent and the liner is maintained during die-drawing of the liner. Thus, the porous element is mechanically engaged with the surrounding body as flowable material of the body is absorbed into the element during overmoulding. Internal flanges also restrain the element against movement along the through-passage. The vent is also fused with the liner by heating interface regions to a softening or melting temperature before inserting the vent into a wall of the liner.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a water soluble product including the steps of: providing a water soluble fibrous first ply; providing a water soluble fibrous second ply formed on a surface other than the first ply, wherein the second ply is separate from the first ply; superposing the first ply and the second ply; and joining a first portion of the first ply to a second portion of the second ply to form the water soluble product.

Abstract: A magnetic tracking device is configured to track an object in an environment by receiving a measurement of the non-magnetic signal and a corresponding measurement of the magnetic signal for a location of the magnetic tracking device in the environment. The magnetic tracking device estimates, based on the measurement of the non-magnetic signal, a non-magnetic pose of the magnetic tracking device in the environment for the location. The device estimates, based on the measurement of the magnetic signal, a magnetic pose of the magnetic tracking device in the environment for the location. The device determines a difference between the magnetic pose estimate and the non-magnetic pose estimate for the location. The device determines a magnetic distortion correction value for the location based on the difference. The magnetic tracking device generates a distortion correction model including the distortion value and outputs a representation of the distortion correction model.
