A method and apparatus for forming a radius filler. A lattice is formed of connecting elongate members having a three-dimensional shape of the radius filler. A resin is placed within the lattice.

In an implementation, a rotor blade (alternatively referred to herein as blade) for a helicopter or other aircraft may include an outer layer. The outer layer may define a cavity. The outer layer may at least partially correspond to an airfoil, e.g., a wing. One or more inserts may be included within the cavity and be encompassed thereby. The first insert may have a density of at least 0.6 pounds per cubic inch.

A composite material includes a metal substrate, and a plastic member formed on a surface of the metal substrate. A material of the metal substrate is titanium or titanium alloys, and an acid treatment leaves nano-holes and protrusions on the surface of the metal substrate. The composite material further includes a combining layer between the metal substrate and the plastic member. The nano-holes are partially filled with the combining layer, the protrusions are partially surrounded by the combining layer. The disclosure further provides a method for making such composite material.

A method is disclosed for coating a projectile for use in an ammunition cartridge. A polymer jacket is applied to an undersized projectile core of a first standard caliber to bring the outer dimensions of the jacketed projectile into compliance with those of a second, larger caliber projectile. The polymer jacket coating may produce a non-uniform outer diameter of the polymer jacketed projectile and may include a plurality of circular cavities defined therein. The polymer-jacketed projectile may be a bullet for pistol or rifle ammunition, or a pellet, or shot for use in a shotgun shell.

A method of assembling a syringe with needle is provided. The method may include preparing a mold for forming a tube hole of a main body of the syringe, a first part and a second part for forming a connection part of the syringe, and a third part for forming a close contact part of the syringe, supporting and securing a proximal portion of a needle tube by the mold, injecting the resin into the mold, and forming the syringe and the needle tube integrally by forming the syringe around the needle tube.

An exemplary process includes determining a desired pore size, selecting an initial pore size greater than the target pore size, manufacturing a porous structure with the initial pore size, forging the porous structure to form a forged part having the desired pore size, and forming an orthopedic device from the forged part.

A diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) storage system may include a reservoir body having a magnet integrally formed about an inlet opening of the reservoir body. For example, the magnet may be molding about a perimeter of the inlet opening during a molding process in which the reservoir body is formed. In some examples, the inlet opening defines a lumen extending into an interior of the reservoir body with the magnet being positioned at a location along the lumen opposite an external end face. The position of the magnet may be effective to engage a corresponding magnet on a DEF fill nozzle, allowing DEF to be introduced into the reservoir body. By integrating the magnet into the reservoir body, protection features that prevent erroneous filling of the reservoir body cannot be removed or bypassed.

Provided is a conductive roller in which the occurrence of an image defect caused by a pressure mark is suppressed. In this conductive roller, plural resin layers are arranged on the outer circumference of a shaft 4. The resin layers include at least a base layer 1 and a surface layer 3 from the inner circumferential side. The plural resin layers all have a loss tangent (tan ) of 0.2 or less at a temperature of 40 C. and, among the plural resin layers, at least a pair of two adjacent layers satisfy a relationship of GoGi between the elastic modulus Go of a layer positioned on the outer circumferential side and the elastic modulus Gi of a layer positioned on the inner circumferential side.

The invention relates to an anchoring element for a dental prosthetic arrangement, which anchoring element can be anchored in a jaw bone or implant in a first subregion (TB1) and is suitable for receiving or forming a dental prosthetic element (ZK) in a second subregion (TB2), wherein the anchoring element has, between the first subregion (TB1) and the second subregion (TB2), a radially projecting collar (KR) which at least partially encloses the circumference of the anchoring element, such that the region above the collar (KR) of the anchoring element is at least in part fully covered with a thermoplastic material. The invention further relates to a method for producing an abutment or implant, and to a method for producing a dental prosthetic arrangement using the abutment.

Various embodiments of the present invention relate to plastic-metal junctions and methods of making the same. In various embodiments, the present invention provides a method of forming a junction between a metal form and a solid plastic. The method can include contacting a metal including a plurality of pores and a flowable resin composition including a polybutylene terephthalate and a polyethylene terephthalate. The method can also include curing the flowable composition to form the solid plastic, to provide the junction between the metal and the solid plastic.
