A method of manufacturing an electronic device housing includes obtaining a monolithic body of RF transparent material and plating a surface of the monolithic body with a nanograin coating to increase the structural rigidity of the monolithic body. A portion of the nanograin coating is thereafter removed to create an RF window.

The present disclosure relates to a surface-modifiable injection-molded body comprising a thermoplastic polymer matrix and second polymer material at least in parts, in which the polymer matrix and the second polymer material have different weight average molecular weights and polarities, and the second polymer material is an adhesive. The present disclosure also relates to a method for its production.

Generally, a sterile adapter for use in robotic surgery may include a frame configured to be interposed between a tool driver and a surgical tool, a plate assembly coupled to the frame, and at least one rotatable coupler supported by the plate assembly and configured to communicate torque from an output drive of the tool driver to an input drive of the surgical tool.

A method of forming a thin-walled skin includes coating at least one side of a mold cavity of a molding tool, evacuating air from the mold cavity, and filling the mold cavity with a molten polymeric resin. Among other optional variations of the disclosed method, an inert gas is injected into the molten polymeric resin simultaneously with the step of filling the mold cavity with a molten polymeric resin. As a result, high quality, large, thin-walled skins are produced by the teachings of the present disclosure.

A tool for manufacturing a cap for a container comprises a blade set that includes a plurality of knives. The knives are configured to make incisions in a cap having a main body having a top plate and a circular sidewall. The top plate has a top surface, wherein two opposite sides of the circular sidewall circularly connect to each other, one periphery of the circular sidewall connects to one surface of the top plate forming a closed end, and the other periphery of the circular sidewall at the opposite side of the closed end forms an opened end and a ring member, which is located at the opened end of the main body. There is a first tab on the ring member and a second tab on the sidewall.

Devices, systems, and methods are generally directed to cooling preforms in a receptacle having a controllable shape. As compared to cooling preforms in a receptacle having a fixed shape, the devices, systems, and method of the present disclosure may facilitate faster and more reliable post-processing of preforms. As an example, the devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure may reduce the likelihood of transfer issues associated with moving a preform into the cavity while also facilitating faster cooling of the preform disposed in the receptacle.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for manufacturing a transaction card. The disclosed methods and apparatuses may be used to form a transaction card frame within a mold. The transaction card frame may include one or more recessed portions formed within a first surface of the transaction card frame. The one or more recessed portions may be configured for affixing one or more electronic components.

A method for manufacturing a housing is disclosed. The method includes: roughening a first surface of the housing; placing the housing into a mold and performing an injection molding to form a plastic layer on the first surface and closely bonded to the housing; and defining a plurality of slots by cutting through the housing by means of milling without milling a part or all of the plastic layer, wherein the plastic layer is configured to keep a connecting portion between adjacent slots defined in the housing undeformed during the milling. A mobile terminal is also disclosed.

A method for manufacturing a cutting electrode for a surgical instrument. The method involves starting with a material blank that is provided with a rated break location. The material blank is dimensioned to allow for separation with forces sufficiently low that they can also be transmitted by the plastic body. The rated break location separates the material blank in a first section serving exclusively for handling and positioning of the material blank in a mold as well as in a second section that self-supportingly projects in a mold hollow space and is overmolded by plastic. After removal, the first section can be easily broken off the cutting electrode. The created breaking edge forms a cutting edge.

Generally, a sterile adapter for use in robotic surgery may include a frame configured to be interposed between a tool driver and a surgical tool, a plate assembly coupled to the frame, and at least one rotatable coupler supported by the plate assembly and configured to communicate torque from an output drive of the tool driver to an input drive of the surgical tool.
