A system and process for bonding involves a pocket made into one article is used to secure that article to another using a flowable, curable material (e.g., resin) which during saturation enters through a passageway and at least partially fills the void. When the article is cured, the article is bonded to another article to which resin has also been applied since the void (now containing cured material) is larger than the passageway.

Techniques for inlaying a composite material within a tooling shell are disclosed. In one aspect, an additively manufactured tooling shell is provided, into which a composite material is inlaid and cured. A surface of the tooling shell is provided with indentations or another mechanism to enable adherence between the composite material and the tooling shell. The resulting integrated structure is used as a component in a transport structure.

The invention relates to a process for manufacturing an ophthalmic lens element equipped with an insert (1), this ophthalmic lens element comprising a front face and a back face, comprising steps consisting in: providing a first portion or intermediate product (2, 2) made of a first material comprising a first and second frontal face (2A, 2B, 2A, 2B), said second face forming the back or front face of said ophthalmic lens element; placing the insert (1) on said first face of said intermediate product; depositing a second material in liquid form on said first face of the intermediate product (2, 2) so as to cover at least partially said insert with said second material; and solidifying said second material in order to form an integral second portion (4) of said intermediate product. According to the invention, said first material is organic.

A method of forming an implant having a porous tissue ingrowth structure and a bearing support structure. The method includes depositing a first layer of a metal powder onto a substrate, scanning a laser beam over the powder so as to sinter the metal powder at predetermined locations, depositing at least one layer of the metal powder onto the first layer and repeating the scanning of the laser beam.

Provided is a method of manufacturing a joined body, each of which provides satisfactory molding processability and can achieve both a satisfactory appearance and joining strength at a joining portion. The method of manufacturing a joined body includes injecting a thermoplastic elastomer, after melting of the thermoplastic elastomer, into a mold in which a molded body (I) is placed, to thereby integrate a molded body (II) derived from the thermoplastic elastomer and the molded body (I) with each other, the molded body (I) containing a filler, the filler having an arithmetic average particle diameter of from 1 m to 5 m.

A metal member includes a metal substrate and a porous metal layer. A composite includes the metal member and a resin member. The metal substrate has one surface, is made of a metal material, and has a region formed as an uneven layer having an uneven shape with respect to the one surface. The porous metal layer has a mesh-like shape and is formed on the uneven layer. The uneven layer includes a plurality of protrusions protruding in a direction normal to the one surface.

An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device may include an enclosure that includes a metal band and a wall. The electronic device may further include a filler compound positioned in an opening of the metal band, where a split between two sidewall components defines the opening. The filler compound provides an RF communication path through the enclosure. In order to reduce or prevent liquid ingress into the enclosure, the electronic device may include a sealing compound that infused into the opening between the filler compound and the sidewall components, thereby providing a seal. The infusion process including placing the metal band (with the filler compound) in a chamber, providing a vacuum to remove air between the metal band and the filler compound, and subsequently providing a positive pressure to force the sealing compound between the metal band and the filler compound. The sealing compound may include an adhesive.

A method of manufacturing a composite member including an aluminum member and a resin member bonded to each other, the method including: performing blasting on a surface of the aluminum member; modifying the surface of the aluminum member into aluminum hydroxide, the modifying including causing the surface of the aluminum member having undergone blasting to react with water by using at least one of heat and plasma; and directly bonding the resin member to the surface of the aluminum member modified to the aluminum hydroxide.
