Various components of an electronic device housing and methods for their assembly are disclosed. The housing can be formed by assembling and connecting two or more different sections together. The sections of the housing may be coupled together using one or more coupling members. The coupling members may be formed using a two-shot molding process in which the first shot forms a structural portion of the coupling members, and the second shot forms cosmetic portions of the coupling members.

A machining center for machining a center groove on a pulley and a flange formed at opposite ends of a crankshaft of a vehicle includes a measurement unit configured to measure a moment of the crankshaft when the crankshaft is loaded and actuated, a control unit configured to calculate an imbalance amount of the crankshaft and to derive center drill coordinates for removing the imbalance amount, a compensation unit mounted in a base frame and configured to compensate a position of the crankshaft by rotating first and second rotating elements based on the center drill coordinates inputted from the control unit when the crankshaft is transported and clamped by a clamping system, and a machining unit configured to machine the center groove in the pulley and the flange of the crankshaft.

Three systems for the destruction of the data storage portion of electronic media storage devices such as hard disk drives, solid state drives and hybrid hard drives. One system utilizes a mill cutter with which the hard drive has relative motion in the direction of the axis of the mill cutter to destroy the data storage portion. A second system utilizes a laser to physically destroy the data storage portion. The third system utilizes a chemical solvent to chemically destroy the data storage portion.

Lithium silicate materials are described which can be easily processed by machining to dental products without undue wear of the tools and which subsequently can be converted into lithium silicate products showing high strength.

A multifunctional dual mode microfluidic device including a first operating configuration and a second operating configuration wherein in the first operating configuration, the device is configured to perform static cell seeding or produce cells. In the second operating configuration, the device is configured to perform perfusion via microfluidics of the device, and the device is configured to switch between the first operating configuration and the second operating configuration. The first operating configuration and the second operating configuration are selectively and independently accessible, wherein the first operating configuration or the second operating configuration does not alter any other configuration of the device. The device is fully operable in either one of the first operating configuration or the second operating configuration.

The invention relates to a microfluidic device including a chamber having a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet and a sealable port. In some embodiments, the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet may be positioned to direct fluid flowing from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet through the chamber. Various embodiments may include a sealable port which may be aligned with the chamber to allow material to be placed directly into, or removed from, the chamber from the exterior of the device when the sealable port is open, and to inhibit and/or prevent fluid escaping through the sealable port when the port is sealed.

A core support system includes a support structure. The support structure includes a frame and a support member having a saturatable engagement layer disposed over the frame. A method of machining a core material incudes applying a fluid to an engagement layer of a support structure and saturating the engagement layer with the fluid, disposing a core material on the engagement layer, causing the fluid to freeze to secure to the core material to the support structure, machining the core material, melting the frozen fluid to release the core material from the support structure, and removing the core material from the engagement layer.

A machining center for machining a center groove on a pulley and a flange formed at opposite ends of a crankshaft of a vehicle includes a measurement unit configured to measure a moment of the crankshaft when the crankshaft is loaded and actuated, a control unit configured to calculate an imbalance amount of the crankshaft and to derive center drill coordinates for removing the imbalance amount, a compensation unit mounted in a base frame and configured to compensate a position of the crankshaft by rotating first and second rotating elements based on the center drill coordinates inputted from the control unit when the crankshaft is transported and clamped by a clamping system, and a machining unit configured to machine the center groove in the pulley and the flange of the crankshaft.

A golf club head and a method of manufacturing a golf club head are described herein. The golf club head comprises a club face with a face portion, and grooves positioned on the club face. The grooves each comprise a bottom, a first side wall adjacent the bottom, a second side wall adjacent the bottom, a first top radius adjacent the first side wall, and a second top radius adjacent the second side wall. The club face further comprises a second portion positioned between the face portion, and the first top radius and the second top radius. The second portion of the club face allows for the grooves to appear visually wider to a player, which can provide psychological effects to benefit performance, while still conforming to USGA groove widths standards.

A core support system includes a support structure. The support structure includes a frame and a support member having a saturatable engagement layer disposed over the frame. A method of machining a core material includes applying a fluid to an engagement layer of a support structure and saturating the engagement layer with the fluid, disposing a core material on the engagement layer, causing the fluid to freeze to secure to the core material to the support structure, machining the core material, melting the frozen fluid to release the core material from the support structure, and removing the core material from the engagement layer.
