Answer to Question 1

In some operations, chiefly where the melting of the resin is the limiting factor in decreasing the cycle, a second barrel or chamber is added to the injection molding machine. This second chamber is the collection point for the melted resin as it exits from the screw or ram melting unit. The second chamber has a ram injector that can push the melt of resin into the mold even while material is being introduced from the melting unit. The combination of a continuous melting operation and an on-demand injection operation can speed molding significantly in some cases.

Answer to Question 2

Crystallization normally gives materials a sharper melting point. That is favorable in injection molding because it makes the material easier to heat to a uniform viscosity. Furthermore, the crystallinity usually means that the material will cool and solidify more sharply, thus decreasing the time that the material must be cooled. After the part is removed, residual crystallization is common. This continuing crystallization can distort the part. Therefore, cooling fixtures are often needed to ensure that the part will crystallize and complete cooling without part distortion.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
