A method of manufacturing a joint implant for a joint of a specific patient includes obtaining a three-dimensional image of a bone of the joint of the specific patient from medical imaging scans of the bone of the patient and determining on the three-dimensional image a resection plane for contacting a corresponding planar surface of the joint implant for the specific patient. The method includes determining a three-dimensional image of a porous structure of a bone layer along the resection plane from the medical imaging scans of the patient. The joint implant is manufactured with a layer of a patient-specific porous construct attached to the planar surface of the joint implant. The layer of the patient-specific porous construct substantially replicates the porous structure of the bone layer of the specific patient.

An integral image device comprises an image array of cells of an image plane. Each cell is an area of an image plane comprising image structures. The image structures are embossed and/or printed structures. The integral image device further comprises a focusing element array of focusing elements. The image array and the focusing element array are conformed. The array of focusing elements is provided at a distance from the array of cells that is close to a focal length of the focusing elements. The image structures comprise a basic image structure superimposed by an intensity adaptation. The basic image structures, when viewed through the focusing elements in a viewing direction, give rise to a scene of an integral image. The intensity adaptation is provided for giving intensity differences.

Embodiments of a golf club head and methods to manufacture such a golf club head are generally described herein. The golf club head generally includes at least one ball-striking face, which comprises a titanium alloy that is associated with an average grain size measuring no more than about 1 micron (μm) in the longest dimension. The golf club head is associated with a coefficient of restitution of about 0.847 or more when a ball impacts the ball-striking face.

A method of manufacturing a casing of an electronic device including the following steps is provided. A metallic housing is provided, wherein the metallic housing has an inner surface and an outer surface opposite to the inner surface and includes a back region and at least one side region. At least one gap, a plurality of apertures and a non-conductive layer are formed on the inner surface of the metallic housing, wherein the apertures is formed on a surface of the at least one gap, part of the non-conductive layer is formed in the at least one gap and extended from the back region to the at least one side region, and part of the non-conductive layer is extended into the apertures. Part of the metallic housing is removed for exposing part of the non-conductive layer, thereby forming a plurality of non-conductive spacers located in the at least one gap.

The present invention provides various aspects of support for a fabrication facility capable of routine placement and replacement of processing tools in at least a vertical dimension relative to each other.

Embodiments of putter-type golf club head comprising a striking surface capable of achieving consistent ball speeds across the striking surface to account for various ball impact locations are described herein. The striking surface has at least two materials that differs in concentration away from the geometric center of the striking surface to provide this consistency. Consistent (or uniform) ball speed is achieved throughout the striking surface as the portion of the golf ball that contacts the striking surface interacts with at least two materials having a differing material characteristic.

The present disclosure concerns an indication mechanism for an automatic applicator, particularly for insulin or other liquid preparations, particularly for multiple injection administration of set doses of a medicine from an exchangeable container, for example for the self-application of insulin by diabetes patients. An indication mechanism for an automatic applicator, having an assembly of at least two barrels movably coupled to each other has an indication barrel mounted on the driving barrel contains only marking on its external surface and is co-axially connected to the pull-push control nut.

A system for distributing auto-stereoscopic images, a parallax blocking mask and methods for producing a parallax blocking mask. A parallax blocking mask is provided as an “add-on” for an existing image display device having a flat panel type display screen. The mask is tailored to the needs of the existing device and delivered to a remote user of the display device. The user mounts the mask to the display device so that the mask overlies the display screen. 3D content in the form of composite stereoscopic images derived from one or more stereoscopic image pairs, and application software, are downloaded to the display device over the Internet, and the application software interleaves the composite stereoscopic images for display on the display screen while the mask is in place. Use of a parallax blocking mask having variable edge transitions, a duty cycle less than fifty percent, or both, is disclosed.

A dental overlay is prepared for use with a cutting tool in preparing a tooth to be prepared for restoration. A prepared tooth is simulated based on three-dimensional data acquired from a dentition to define tooth structure to be removed by a cutting tool from the tooth to be prepared. A dental overlay configured for placement onto one or both of the tooth to be prepared and a neighboring tooth is produced. The overlay includes an occlusal portion and buccal and lingual sides extending from the occlusal portion. The overlay has a first guiding groove configured for contact with the cutting tool so as to limit movements to be followed by the cutting tool to predetermined movements for removing a portion of the defined tooth structure to be removed. A first portion of the first guiding groove extends through the buccal or lingual side of the overlay.

A fab can be constructed as a round or rectangular annular tube with a primary cleanspace located in-between its inner and outer tubes. The fab can be encircled with levels upon which tools can be densely packed while preserving unidirectional air flow. If only tool ports are inside, and robotics are used, primary cleanspace size can be minimized. Highly simplified robotics can be used. Tools can be removed and repaired centrally. A secondary cleanspace can be added for tool bodies. Multilevel construction enhances use of prefabricated units for fab build or maintenance. Curves or folds, applied to a conventional planar cleanroom, can construct a wide range of fab geometries, including a tubular non-annular fab. A fab can also be constructed according to a curved or non-curved sectional cut of an annular tube. A novel fab, of a non-curved section, can include a non-segmented cleanspace or have its tools vertically stacked.
