A method of manufacturing a panel made of a composite material using a tool having a support on which a lay-up is performed, the lay-up producing a stack of plies of fiber prepregs, followed by consolidating the stack aiming to obtain the panel using a compacting plate arranged above the stack. The method is implemented such that a first set of polyimide films partially covering each other is located in contact with the stack of plies, between the latter and the compacting plate.

The invention discloses a digital watermark embedding and a detecting method of CAD model indicated on basis of NURBS, comprising: a) embedding a watermark: 1) sequentially sequencing and scrambling an NURBS curve and / or curved surface in a model, and then selecting the NURBS curve and / or curved surface which serves as actual watermark to be embedded into a carrier; 2) pre-treating watermark information; 3) using a method of inserting node in reverse to embed the watermark information section by section into the corresponding node position of each selected NURBS curve and / or curved surface; b) detecting the watermark: 1) selecting the NURBS curve and / or curved surface which serves as actual watermark to be embedded into a carrier according to the same method of step 1 in a; 2) respectively extracting the watermark information of each NURBS curve and / or curved surface; 3) combining and reducing watermark information, performing similarity analysis to the watermark information with the original watermark information, and verifying the accuracy. The invention has the advantages that the invention can accurately keep the geometric configuration of a CAD model, does not need to have the aid of original CAD model in the detecting process and has strong robustness to various common attacks.

A method of forming a composite shell member for a vehicular sideview exterior mirror assembly includes providing a decorative film substrate and a polymer resin. A shell is formed the decorative film substrate and the polymer resin to form the shell member. A discontinuity is formed in the polymer resin, with the film substrate conformed to the polymer resin to generally follow the edge definition of the discontinuity to form a surface discontinuity in an outer surface of the shell member having substantially the same edge definition of the discontinuity of the polymer resin.

The invention discloses a 3D printing method for customizing the appearance of a three-dimensional model. The method includes the following steps that S1, the three-dimensional model is imported; S2,a mask chartlet is modified in real time; S3, a scene is rendered in real time; and S4, 3D real-time printing is carried out. S3 includes the procedures that S3.1, a tinter is compiled or called; S3.2, the tinter attribute of the three-dimensional model in S1 is modified into the tinter in S3.1, and the mask chartlet attribute of the tinter in S3.1 is modified into the mask chartlet modified in S2; S3.3, all channels are mixed in real time through the tinter in S3.1 according to the mask chartlet in S2, and the effect of describing different patterns for the model in real time is achieved; andS3.4, the dynamic customized appearance of the three-dimensional model in S1 is generated. Thus, the appearance of the three-dimensional model is individually customized easily and quickly. The invention further discloses a 3D printing system for the customizing the appearance of the three-dimensional model.

In practice of the present invention, the polymer slug is pressed into the die cavity by the actuation of ram press, causing the slug to conform to the die cavity.

Realtime beam shape adjustment in response to (for example) online CT scanning of a patient during treatment is assisted by the radiotherapy apparatus comprising a source adapted to emit a beam of therapeutic radiation, a collimator for delimiting the radiation beam, the collimator comprising a plurality of leaves arranged alongside each other and be moveable longitudinally so that the tips of the leaves define a variable edge of the collimator, the leaves being mounted on a support that is moveable laterally with respect to the leaves. In this way, movements of the tumor that are perpendicular to the direction of leaf motion can be accommodated by simply moving the collimator bodily so as to accommodate this. It is preferred that the apparatus also includes a control means adapted to receive information as to the location of the target volume, and, on the basis of that information, control the longitudinal positions of the leaves and the lateral position of the support. It is also preferred that the support tilts as it moves laterally along a path. This can be achieved, by example, by bearings that are moveable on suitable guides, or by mounting the support on a plurality of pivot arms of unequal lengths. The lengths of such pivot arms can be adjusted as necessary.
