The inlet port can be configured to permit introduction of the flowable material into the void and against the bone opposing surface of the prosthetic implant. | 12-03-2015 |
20150343714 | Apparatus and Method for Infiltration of Fiber Material with Resin for the Production of a Fiber Composite Component - The invention relates to a device for the infiltration of fibrous material with resin for the production of a fiber composite component, comprising a mold tool with a cavity enclosed by at least two tool parts, wherein the mold tool is designed for a relative movement of the at least two tool parts, in such a manner that space can be provided inside the cavity, in a first tool position, to hold the fibrous material, and additional space can be provided to accommodate resin, and the size of the cavity can then be reduced by a movement of the mold tool from the first tool position into a second tool position. According to the invention, a flow promoter is included in the cavity, comprising at least one first layer and one second layer, connected to each other in an edge region of the flow promoter to enclose a flow space, wherein the first layer is impermeable to resin while the second layer provides an outlet for guiding resin out of the flow space and into the fibrous material, and wherein the flow space of the flow promoter is filled with resin and/or the flow promoter has an inlet for conveying resin into the flow space. The invention further relates to a corresponding infiltration process and to a use of the device and/or the method. | 12-03-2015 |
20150352750 | Weapons System Construction and Modification - This invention is directed to a rifle barrel and a method for modifying a pre-existing rifle barrel comprising dissembling said pre-existing rifle so that said barrel is removed from said pre-existing rifle placing said barrel in a sleeve having an inner diameter larger then said diameter of said barrel for receiving said barrel thereby defining a void arranged between said barrel and said sleeve when said barrel is placed in said sleeve reducing the outer diameter of said barrel near the breach end of said barrel so that said sleeve will cover said barrel up to the action of said rifle when said barrel is placed in said sleeve filling said void defined by said barrel and said sleeve with filler material attaching a weld-on thread assemble to said sleeve at the muzzle end of said barrel and assembling said pre-existing rifle with said barrel placed in said sleeve. | 12-10-2015 |
20160031135 | THERMOSET IN-MOLD FINISHING FILM - This invention relates to the manufacturing of durable thermoset in-mold finishing films (TIMFFs) combining in-mold decorating and in-mold durable exterior grade coating capabilities, to molded articles having TIMFFs adhering to their surfaces and both showing a decoration and providing protection, and to thermosetting resin formulations used in the manufacturing of TIMFFs. In some embodiments, the thermoset is prepared via polyurethane chemistry; the manufacturing process comprises reaction injection molding (RIM) with a specially designed mold; and articles having TIMFFs adhering to their surfaces include graphic panels for durable signage, structural graphics, molded flooring, prefabricated housing, aerospace structures and body panels, automotive structures and body panels, and marine structures and body panels. In addition to RIM, the TIMFF technology is also compatible with other processes, such as injection molding, compression molding, resin transfer molding, spin casting, rotational molding, thermoforming, roll lamination, use of a platen/laminate press, and blow molding. | 02-04-2016 |
20160044995 | METHOD FOR INTEGRALLY FORMING A SOLE WITH HOBNAILS - A method for integrally forming a sole with hobnails includes the following steps: providing a mold assembly, the mold assembly includes a sole forming member and a hobnail forming member, the hobnail forming member is movable with respect to the sole forming member; forming of sole and hobnails, injecting plastic material into the mold cavity to integrally form the sole and a hobnail; demolding the hobnail, moving the hobnail forming member with respect to the sole forming member to create a buffer space between the hobnail and the hobnail forming member; and demolding of the sole, taking the sole with the hobnail obtained by the previous step out of the mold assembly, wherein an arc-shaped paw portion of the hobnail is bent through the buffer space and then demolded. | 02-18-2016 |
20160136851 | COMPOSITE HEAT SINK STRUCTURES - Composite heat sink structures and methods of fabrication are provided, with the composite heat sink structures including: a thermally conductive base having a main heat transfer surface to couple to, for instance, at least one electronic component to be cooled; a compressible, continuous sealing member; and a sealing member retainer compressing the compressible, continuous sealing member against the thermally conductive base; and an in situ molded member. The in situ molded member is molded over and affixed to the thermally conductive base, and is molded over and secures in place the sealing member retainer. A coolant-carrying compartment resides between the thermally conductive base and the in situ molded member, and a coolant inlet and outlet are provided in fluid communication with the coolant-carrying compartment to facilitate liquid coolant flow through the compartment. | 05-19-2016 |
20160136858 | Method of Manufacturing Electromagnetic Wave Shield Housing - A method of manufacturing an electromagnetic wave shield housing that accommodates an electronic component and shields the electronic component from electromagnetic waves is provided, which includes: placing a resin plate inside a shielding metal plate, the shielding metal plate including a plate central area of the metal plate having a shielding property against the electromagnetic waves, and plate outer peripheral edges that are formed around the plate central area and stand up from the plate central area in standing postures, the resin plate including a central portion that overlaps with the plate central area, and stand-up portions that stand up from the central portion so as to conform to the standing postures and overlap with the plate outer peripheral edges, respectively; and injecting resin to the shielding metal plate, where the resin plate is placed, from outside the shielding metal plate to cover the shielding metal plate with the injected resin from outside. Thus, the electromagnetic wave shield housing can easily be manufactured, without causing any changes to the postures of the plate outer peripheral edges of the shielding metal plate and impeding the weight reduction. | 05-19-2016 |
