A device to increase the output of a two-part mold is disclosed. The device includes a first side and a second side where each side includes one or more cavities. The cavities receive the material that is to be casted. The device further includes registration keys and registration keyholes such that it can couple with the two parts of a two-part mold.

A composite (100) comprises: an integrally molded article of two or more function parts (111) made of a cured material of a liquid resin composition and two or more connection parts (112); and a retention part (120) made of a resin composition different from the liquid resin composition and having two or more through-holes (121) or concave parts. The function parts (111) are respectively arranged inside the through-holes (121) or the concave parts of the retention part (120). The connection parts (112) are joined to a surface of the retention part (120).

A mold system includes an upper mold and a lower mold. The upper mold and the lower mold include a base plate having a lower surface and an upper surface. At least one protrusion extends a first height from the lower surface of the base plate to a distal end wall and defines a mold cavity accessible through an opening of the lower base plate. One or more bosses extend a second height from the distal end wall, and at least one support leg extends a third height from the lower surface of the base plate to a terminal end. At least one socket is formed on the upper surface of the lower base plate adjacent the at least one support leg. The mold system is operable between a storage configuration and a molding configuration by rotating the upper mold relative to the lower mold.

The invention relates to wafer-level manufacturing of optical devices such as modules comprising micro-lenses. In one aspect, passive optical components such as truncated lenses are manufactured by providing a substrate on which a multitude of precursor optical structures is present; and removing material from each of said multitude of precursor optical structures. Another aspect comprises a method for manufacturing a device comprising a set of at least two passive optical components, said method comprising the steps of using a tool obtained by carrying out the steps of manufacturing a precursor tool having a replication surface; and modifying said replication surface by removing material from said precursor tool. An yet another aspect comprises a method for manufacturing a device comprising a set of at least two passive optical components, wherein the method comprises the step of using a master comprising a replication surface comprising, for each of said passive optical components, a first portion describing a shape corresponding to the shape of at least a portion of the respective passive optical component, wherein the master comprises, in addition, at least one protruding portion protruding from at least one of said first portions of said replication surfaces.

In order to provide a bonded part capable of reducing deformation caused by injection pressure of bonding resin and preventing an increase in cost, the bonded part includes a first part, a second part, and a third part, wherein the first part includes a wall portion and a hollow portion surrounded by the wall portion, wherein a first shape portion formed of bonding resin is arranged at a position between the second part and the wall portion, wherein a second shape portion formed of the bonding resin is arranged at a position between the wall portion and the third part, and wherein a third shape portion formed of the bonding resin which connects the first shape portion and the second shape portion is arranged on the wall portion.

A waterproof gasket structure and its gasket shaping mold are provided. The gasket shaping mold includes a mold seat having a surface, and plural mold cavity ring-grooves concavely formed on the surface, each having two corresponding longitudinal groove sections. At least one longitudinal groove section has one or more inwardly bent wavy bent portions, and plural turning round corner portions are formed at the junction between the longitudinal groove section and the wavy bent portion, and each turning round corner portion has a radius equal to or greater than 6 mm. Therefore, the middle of the mold cavity ring-groove can be utilized effectively, and plural waterproof gaskets can be manufactured by the same gasket shaping mold while achieving the effects of reducing the mold volume, improving the manufacturing efficiency, and saving the manufacturing cost.

A filling method of conductive paste includes a step of providing a protective film on a principal surface of a metal foil clad laminated sheet, a step of forming bottomed via holes, a step of removing the film from a surface to a midway thereof to form a conductive paste flowing groove having the via holes, a step of disposing a housing member on the film, and thereby, causing a conductive paste injecting channel and a vacuum evacuating channel to communicate with a conductive paste flowing space S, a step of depressurizing the space S via the channel, and a step of injecting conductive paste into the space S via the channel, and thereby, filling an inside of the via holes with the conductive paste.
