A forming apparatus (100) for a dental object (101), having a forming means (127) for producing a predetermined spatial shape of the dental object (101); and a radiation source (105) for emitting radiation having a wavelength shorter than 350 nm onto the material (129) of the dental object (101).

The present disclosure provides a new corrosion control chemistry for use in ruthenium (Ru) chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) processes. More specifically, the present disclosure provides an improved CMP slurry chemistry and CMP process for planarizing a ruthenium surface. In the CMP process disclosed herein, a ruthenium surface (e.g., a post-etch ruthenium surface) is exposed to a CMP slurry containing a halogenation reagent, which reacts with the ruthenium surface to create a halogenated ruthenium surface, and a ligand for ligand-assisted reactive dissolution of the halogenated ruthenium surface. Relative amounts of the halogenation agent and the ligand can be controlled in the CMP slurry, so as to provide a diffusion-limited etch process that improves pos-etch surface morphology, while providing high material removal rates.

This invention relates to a novel application of liquid-infused surface materials (LISM) to at least a portion of one or more surfaces of razor components (e.g., frame, housing, clips, blade supports, blade body, blade edge, lubricating bodies, guard, handle, grip, button). If applied to a skin contacting surface of a component, the one or more LISM layers may generally be abrasion-resistant, long-lasting or non-erodible, desirably elevating shaving performance, such as glide, comfort, rinsing, and cleanliness, while also simplifying the manufacturing process.

A method of manufacturing is provided, including forming a metal frame of a head-mounted computing device shaped as a pair of eyeglasses. Forming the metal frame may include additively manufacturing the metal frame of the head-mounted computing device by performing laser sintering on aluminum powder or titanium powder. Forming the metal frame may further include removing an outer surface of the metal frame via a reductive process.

A method of manufacturing a window may include cutting a window having a uniform thickness of about 20 μm to about 100 μm and polishing a cut surface of the window with a polishing pad having an elastic modulus less than an elastic modulus of the window while applying slurry to the cut surface of the window.

A machine featuring a treatment tool that grinds a surface to a desired profile, imparts a desired roughness to that surface, and removes contamination from the surface, the machine configured to control multiple independent input variables simultaneously, the controllable variables selected from the group consisting of (i) velocity, (ii) rotation, and (iii) dither of the treatment tool, and (iv) pressure of the treatment tool against the surface. The machine can move the treatment tool with six degrees of freedom.
