A method of forming a microneedle array can include forming a sheet of material having a plurality of layers and micromilling the sheet of material to form a microneedle array. At least one of the plurality of layers can include a bioactive component, and the microneedle array can include a base portion and plurality of microneedles extending from the base portion.

The invention relates to an interchangeable milling adapter (20) for a work table (60), which comprises a receptacle (21) for a milling machine (70) and an angular adjustment (22). At the same time, an angular position (WP1, WP2) of the receptacle (21) in relation to the work table can be adjusted using the angular adjustment (22). Furthermore, a work table, a milling unit and their use for adjusting a milling machine are described.

Methods and structures for forming anodization layers that protect and cosmetically enhance metal surfaces are described. In some embodiments, methods involve forming an anodization layer on an underlying metal that permits an underlying metal surface to be viewable. In some embodiments, methods involve forming a first anodization layer and an adjacent second anodization layer on an angled surface, the interface between the two anodization layers being regular and uniform. Described are photomasking techniques and tools for providing sharply defined corners on anodized and texturized patterns on metal surfaces. Also described are techniques and tools for providing anodizing resistant components in the manufacture of electronic devices.

An edge break apparatus including a frame having a first workpiece interface surface, a second workpiece interface surface arranged relative to the first workpiece interface surface so as to form a predetermined angle between the first workpiece surface and the second workpiece surface, and a first aperture extending through the frame so as to intersect the predetermined angle, and an edge break member extending through and interfaced with the first aperture so as to adjustably define a cutting depth of the edge break member relative to an apex of the predetermined angle.

A live tool system having a live tool and a collar surrounding a rotating shaft or a rotating cutting tool of the live tool. The collar houses at least one sensor capable of monitoring an operating condition proximate to the cutting tool during a cutting operation. Example operating conditions including temperature and vibration. The system also includes a wireless transmitter in communication with the at least one sensor for transmitting a signal for use by a machining center controller.

Golf club heads with patterned face plates described herein. Other examples, embodiments and related methods are also disclosed herein.

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 golf club head includes a heel portion, a toe portion, a hosel, and a striking face. The striking face includes a plurality of scorelines each having an average depth no less than about 0.10 mm, a plurality of micro-grooves each having an average depth no greater than about 0.010 mm, and a plurality of textured surface treatment regions superimposed on the micro-grooves so as to at least partially intersect the micro-grooves.

A method for machining long edges of metal workpieces (2), wherein during the machining of the workpiece (2), all the cutting edges (z) are put into engagement with the machining surface (B) over an effective length (l) and having a cutting depth (t), and the removal of the chips is effected in each case over a length which is equivalent to the tooth spacing (a.sub.s) between the adjacent teeth simultaneously with their motion along the effective length (l).

A scraper tool for deburring an edge of an aircraft turboshaft engine casing is arranged to be mounted in a milling device. The scraper tool includes a body including, on a first end, a connection for the milling device and, on a second end, a deburring module including a turning lathe platelet including at least one cutting edge arranged so as to deburr the casing edge. The deburring module includes a guide adapted to contact the edge to be deburred so as to follow the profile of the edge to be deburred without modifying the orientation of the turning lathe platelet.
