The present invention relates to an injection-moulded part produced using a combination of fluid injection and projectile injection moulding processes. The part comprises a body extending along a longitudinal axis with at least one hollow channel formed within its wall. The hollow channel is created by displacing a rigid projectile using a work-fluid during the moulding process, ensuring precise control over the wall thickness and structural characteristics. The invention also relates to an injection mould and method. The method enables the production of lightweight, high-strength beam components with varying structural properties within a single mould. Additionally, the invention encompasses a vehicle incorporating such moulded beam parts. This disclosure improves material efficiency, enhances mechanical performance, and reduces weight in technical structures, contributing to improved fuel and/or energy efficiency and sustainability.

Device and method of operation for the partial application of an anti-slip liquid composition to a wrap-around vamp so as to form a sole, wherein the device comprises: a container for receiving the anti-slip liquid composition; a support for receiving in a sliding manner one or more footwear lasts in order to support the wrap-around vamp, wherein the support is vertically displaceable between a raised resting position and a lowered position of immersion in the container; and an actuator for vertically displacing said support. A preferred embodiment comprises a proximity sensor and wherein the device is configured to reduce the downward linear movement of the support when the proximity sensor indicates that said support is displacing from an intermediate position, between the raised resting position and the lowered immersion position, to the lowered immersion position.

The present disclosure relates to point-of-care diagnostics, specifically to a microfluidic sandwich immunoassay for the detection of breast cancer biomarkers (for ex: HER2 biomarker) in biological samples, utilizing dual ionic liquid all-aqueous extraction for enhanced sensitivity and fluorescence-based quantification. This solution enables highly sensitive, low-volume, and point-of-care diagnostics, offering an unexpectedly lower limit of detection (LoD) compared to conventional methods.

A system and method are provided for processing an industrial effluent and cultivating microalgae. The system comprises a primary tank, a screening unit with a motor-driven cleaning mechanism, a flocculation tank supplied with a chemical flocculant, a sand filter, an acidification unit with pH control, a solid-liquid separation unit, an anaerobic digestion unit, and a microalga cultivation unit. The effluent is screened, flocculated, filtered, acidified to a pH from 4.2 to 5.2, preferably 4.45 to 4.75, and subjected to solid-liquid separation to remove precipitated proteins and destabilised colloidal material, thereby producing a clarified effluent. The clarified effluent is anaerobically digested at a defined organic loading rate to generate biogas and a liquid digestate. At least a portion of the digestate and/or carbon dioxide derived from the biogas is used for microalga cultivation. The system enables stable anaerobic digestion without membrane-based pretreatment and provides a conditioned stream suitable for downstream microalga growth.
