Disclosed is an ice cube tray with a free standing cube design. The ice cube tray may include a peripheral frame encircling a plurality of pockets for receiving water to be formed into individual ice cubes when frozen. Each pocket has a generally cubical configuration. Further, the individual pockets maintain a distance between each other, such that the individual pockets do not support each other and are free standing with respect to each other.

A contact lens mold part and a contact lens mold assembly (1) are provided. The contact lens mold assembly includes a first mold part (2) and a second mold part (3) assembled together. Each mold part has a lens-forming surface with a circumferential edge, a stop surface extending from the circumferential edge, an intermediate region extending from the stop surface, and an alignment surface extending from the intermediate region. The mold parts can be made to fit together with an interference fit. A method of making a contact lens using the contact lens mold assembly is also provided.

This disclosure includes customized ungulate foot protection devices and related methods. Some methods of protecting an ungulate foot include capturing a three-dimensional image of a portion of the ungulate foot, producing a three-dimensional image of an overmold, wherein the overmold includes a cavity that is complementary in shape to the captured three-dimensional image of the portion of the ungulate foot, assembling a three-dimensional image of a protective shoe element with the three-dimensional image of the overmold, and manufacturing the assembled three-dimensional images of the protective shoe element and the overmold. Some methods comprise coupling the manufactured overmold to the ungulate foot.

Curved lenses and methods for making curved lenses are described. One embodiment of a method of making a curved lens includes curving a lens blank made of a linear polarizer layer laminated together with a plurality of polymeric layers. The lens blank is curved by heating and pressing the lens blank between a curved rigid member and a flexible member at a pressure and maintaining the pressure for a time sufficient to allow the lens blank to conform to the shape of the curved rigid member. Methods of the invention may be used to make curved lenses with different polarization properties and curvatures.

Moulding tool, for compression moulding and or in mould foaming of automotive trim parts, comprising at least one mould having a 3D shaped cavity, characterised in that the mould part comprises a thermoset resin binder matrix with particulates bound within the matrix.

A mold for forming a flange of a wind turbine blade comprising a first flange portion including a plurality of lamina and having a generally planar shape and a second perpendicular flange including a plurality of lamina. A plurality of copper wires are disposed within the lamina for conducting heat delivered from a base portion through the first and second flange portions. The mold is free of fluid conduits with the flange portions moveable relative to the base portion.
