The reinforced filament is heated to a temperature greater than a melting temperature of the matrix material and less than a melting temperature of the core prior to applying the filament from the conduit nozzle. | 05-26-2016 |
20160159006 | PNEUMATIC MANUFACTURING SYSTEM FOR COMPLEX TISSUES AND ORGANS, HAVING MULTIPLE DEGREES OF FREEDOM AND MULTIPLE NOZZLES - Disclosed is a pneumatic manufacturing system for complex tissues and organs, having multiple degrees of freedom and multiple nozzles, belonging to the organs manufacturing field. The system comprises an X-direction movement mechanism, a Y-direction movement mechanism, a Q-direction rotation mechanism, a lifting platform, a rotation-forming platform, a shell, a high-pressure gas source, a multiple-nozzle forming unit, a spraying solution pressure tank, a temperature control device, a sterilizing device and a control unit. Under the control of the control unit, the multiple-nozzle forming unit will move according to a given path and spray in accordance with a given order, wherein the range of sizes which can be formed is wide and the relative angle between the central axis of a spray valve and the surface of the rotation-forming platform can also vary, convenient for manufacturing a complex curved surface. The system enables multiple cells and scaffold materials to be arranged at the corresponding positions according to a computer instruction at one time while completing various finishing sequences, wherein the formed three-dimensional structure may directly connect with a corresponding circulatory system in vivo and quickly realize various physiological functions of a complex tissue and organ. | 06-09-2016 |

20090181117 | Containment System for Continuous Flow Hydrolizers - A material handling system for a hydrolyzer, comprising a material injection assembly further comprising a ram, a cylinder having a cylinder shaft for reciprocating the ram upon actuation of the cylinder shaft, a sleeve having an interior in which the ram reciprocates during use; a gate having a gate plate operable from between an open and a closed position; the gate plate has an aperture formed therethrough and the aperture is sized to enable a plug of compressed municipal solid waste to pass through it when the gate plate is in the open position; and a material exit assembly. The preferred material handling system further comprises a gate plate is interpositioned between the pair of space apart end plates and reciprocates freely therebetween. The end plates are configured to allow a plug of municipal solid waste to pass therethrough. The material exit assembly further comprises a processed material handling apparatus including a processed material compaction chamber; and a plunger assembly attached to the compaction chamber and further including a working cylinder having a cylinder shaft and a ram operably connected to the shaft enabling the ram to compact the processed material within the compaction chamber upon actuation of the cylinder and the extension of the shaft therefrom. | 07-16-2009 |
20110123663 | Method, System, and Computer Program for Controlling a Hydraulic Press - A method, control system, computer program, and article of manufacture for controlling hydraulic press systems, and a new press system that utilizes a number of improvements over the assignee's original system. The control system is designed to control a hydraulic press having a die, at least two separate sets of workpiece forming punches, and at least two hydraulic pistons, each operatively associated with one set of workpiece-forming punches. The control system includes a means for controlling a magnitude of a pressing force applied by each set of workpiece-forming punches, and a means for controlling a position of each set of workpiece-forming punches relative to the die. | 05-26-2011 |
20140141112 | ELECTRICAL ALL-DIMENSIONAL NUMERICAL CONTROL INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE - An electric all-dimensional numerical control injection molding machine is applicable to production of injection products with high precision and complex three-dimensional shapes. The machine comprises a machine base, a main board, four sets of electric mould guiding devices, a cross-shaped chute mould assembly, and an injection device assembly. The electric mould guiding devices are mounted on a front face of the machine. A slider mould is disposed in a chute of a cross-shaped mould base, is connected to a shaft of an electric driver, and implements mould opening and closing functions by means of linear movement of the shaft of the electric driver. An injection system of the machine is used for injecting plasticized, fused, and homogenized plastic materials into a mould cavity of the mould. | 05-22-2014 |
