A thermosetting resin composition and a prepreg and a laminated board prepared therefrom. The thermosetting resin composition contains the following components in parts by weight: 50-150 parts of a cyanate; 30-100 parts of an epoxy resin; 5-70 parts of styrene-maleic anhydride; 20-100 parts of a polyphenyl ether; 30-100 parts of a halogen-free flame retardant; 0.05-5 parts of a curing accelerator; and 50-200 parts of a filler. The prepreg and laminated board prepared from the thermosetting resin composition have comprehensive performances such as a low dielectric constant, a low dielectric loss, an excellent flame retardance, heat resistance and moisture resistance, etc., and are suitable for use in a halogen-free high-frequency multilayer circuit board.

A method for manufacturing a prosthetic component include injection molding a prosthetic component with a polymeric material. The prosthetic component includes a final surface positioned on one side and multiple coring features positioned on an opposite side. The coring features may include multiple ribs and slots. The method further includes machining the prosthetic component to remove the coring features and form a final surface on the opposite side. The prosthetic component may be a femoral component for a prosthetic knee joint.

A glass laminate includes a non-glass substrate with a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. A glass sheet is laminated to the first surface of the non-glass substrate. A barrier film is laminated to the second surface of the non-glass substrate and includes a first surface adjacent to the non-glass substrate, a second surface opposite the first surface. A thickness of the barrier film can be at most about 0.5 mm. The second surface of the barrier film can define an outer surface of the glass laminate. The barrier film can be a multi-layer barrier film with a metal layer and a polymer layer. An absolute value of a flatness of the glass laminate determined according to European Standard EN 438 after exposure to 23° C. and 90% relative humidity for 7 days can be at most about 3 mm/m.

A method for applying raised features to a semiconductor substrate chuck, each feature acting to space a substrate from the chuck in use, the method comprising the steps of: i) providing an assembly having a carrier layer, a feature adhered to the carrier layer, and a peel-ply layer adhered to the carrier layer such that the feature is enclosed between the carrier layer and the peel-ply layer, ii) removing the peel-ply layer, and iii) adhering the feature to the chuck.

There is provided a method of producing a long body covered with a covering layer, in which the long body includes at least plural electric wires and/or tubes, the covering layer includes at least a specific intermediate layer and a specific outermost layer, the method including at least: covering the long body with the covering layer; and fixing positions of the plural electric wires and/or tubes.

A multilayer sheet comprising first and second layers is provided. The first layer consists of a co-polyester. The second layer consists of a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer having an elongation at break of greater than 200%, a hardness of 60A to 85D, an ultimate tensile strength of greater than about 5000 psi, and a light transmission between 400 nm and 800 nm of greater than about 75%. A mold is provided and the multilayer sheet is thermoformed over the mold to form a plurality of tooth-receiving cavities configured to receive and reposition a patient's teeth from a first arrangement toward a second arrangement. Excess material is trimmed from the thermoformed multilayer sheet to form a multilayer dental aligner.
