A method for manufacturing a cured product pattern of a curable composition includes the steps of, in sequence, depositing a droplet of the curable composition onto a substrate; bringing a mold having an uneven pattern formed in a surface thereof into contact with the curable composition; curing the curable composition; and releasing a cured product of the curable composition from the mold. The mold has a recess having a bottom surface and a stair structure arranged to form an opening surface that becomes wider from the bottom surface toward the surface of the mold. In the contact step, the curable composition comes into contact with the stair portion after a top of the droplet comes into contact with the bottom surface.

An endoprosthesis has an expanded state and a contracted state, the endoprosthesis includes a stent having an inner surface defining a lumen, having an outer surface, and defining a plurality of apertures through the outer surface, wherein the apertures are arranged in a micropattern; and a coating (e.g., polymeric coating) attached to the outer surface of the stent. The coating includes a base and a tissue engagement portion including a second surface facing outwardly from the stent, the tissue engagement portion including a structure that defines a plurality of holes extending inwardly from the second surface toward the base. The holes are arranged in a micropattern. When the endoprosthesis is expanded to the expanded state in a lumen defined by a vessel wall, the structure applies a force that may reduce stent migration by creating an interlock between the vessel wall and the endoprosthesis.

A method for manufacturing a boat windshield comprising providing a piece of glass of an arbitrary shape to form a portion of a boat windshield; and providing a mold or cast defining a cavity for molding or casting an appropriate material therein. The cavity defines a shape of a frame to be molded or cast and having a shape complementary to a contour of the corresponding piece of glass having the arbitrary shape, said frame having otherwise an arbitrary frame shape including variable cross-section, width or thickness along a length thereof; or it can longitudinally extend in a curved manner. After molding or casting said frame (alternatively: additive manufacturing), together with functional features, said frame is secured to the corresponding piece of glass or encapsulating the corresponding piece of glass into said frame having been molded or cast, forming a sub-frame assembly being a panel of the boat windshield.

The present utility model discloses a three-dimensional reflective finish structure, a plurality of three-dimensional reflective units are integrally formed on the surface of a substrate, and at least one three-dimensional reflective surface is provided on a partial surface or the entire surface of the substrate, among which, a three-dimensional reflective surface comprises a plurality of three-dimensional reflective units scattered on the surface of the substrate or continuously distributed on the surface of the substrate and connected into one piece; and a three-dimensional reflective unit comprises at least one three-dimensional polyhedral reflective pit in the shape of a polygonal cone sinking below the surface of the substrate. The present utility model is less prone to abrasion and has extremely strong abrasion resistance as the three-dimensional reflective unit relatively sinks below the surface of the substrate material; has better light gathering and reflection effects, as well as better visual effects as the three-dimensional reflective unit has a plurality of reflective surfaces arranged obliquely to the surface of the substrate; and has simple structure and low cost.

A forming apparatus configured to, in a state in which a composition on a substrate and a mold have been brought into contact, cure the composition to thereby mold the composition, is provided. The forming apparatus includes a supplier configured to discretely supply droplets of the composition onto the substrate, a controller configured to control the supplier in accordance with a supply pattern that indicates a drop amount and a drop position of each droplet. The shot region has a rectangular outer shape. The controller determines the supply pattern such that a minimum distance between adjacent droplets supplied onto the shot region by the supplier gradually decreases from a center of each side of the rectangular outer shape of the shot region toward both corners of the each side of the rectangular outer shape of the shot region.

Golf ball methods and molds for quickly and efficiently eliminating air/gas from within a mold while better centering a subassembly in the mold during golf ball manufacture and the improved golf balls resulting therefrom.

The object of the present invention is to further improve the performance of a seal between an inner molded portion and an outer molded portion. A composite molded component includes: an internal component; an inner molded portion that covers the internal component; and an outer molded portion that covers the inner molded portion. A hole that reaches the inner molded portion is formed in the outer molded portion. A ring-shaped seal portion that surrounds the hole is provided between the inner molded portion and the outer molded portion. The ring-shaped seal portion is formed of a softer material than the inner molded portion.
