A vehicle chassis sensor assembly for measuring the ride height of a vehicle which comprises a rotary arm member including an overmolded magnet encapsulated in the rotary arm member. In one embodiment, the overmolded magnet includes a layer of overmold material defining an open overmold window in the side and/or top exterior surfaces of the layer of overmold material. Another embodiment includes a pair of spaced magnets that are completely encapsulated in a two step molding process before being molded into a rotary arm member.

A method of manufacturing a therapeutic material incorporating a soft thermoformable elastomer with a phase change material exhibiting high latent heat of fusion. The compound provides elasticity, softness, formability, and heat over an extended duration and to facilitate prolonged skin contact at elevated temperatures. Used in combination with active ingredients the increased temperature and formability provides enhanced transdermal delivery through the skin. Thermoplastic elastomers may be manufactured by mixing together plasticizing oil, a triblock copolymer, a paraffinic substance and one or more additives, e.g., an antioxidant, an antimicrobial agent, and/or other additives to form a mixture which melted then cooled into the thermoplastic elastomer. During cooling, the thermoplastic elastomer may be molded or otherwise formed into any number of articles including, but not limited to, prosthetic liners, prosthetic sleeves, external breast prostheses, breast enhancement bladders, masks, wound dressing sheets, wound dressing pads, socks, gloves, malleolus pads, metatarsal pads, shoe insoles, urinary catheters, vascular catheters, and balloons for medical catheters both vascular as well as urinary. Active ingredients are preferably added to the cooling thermoplastic elastomer when the temperature is below 100° F. to prevent heat degradation and/or breakdown of vital proteins.

Systems and methods for constructing concrete foundations are provided which allow for rapid and high-precision placement and alignment of anchor bolts across large distances. A frame system is constructed outside of an excavation and then suspended, using supports, over an excavation. The frame system can include a frame having one or more templates for anchor bolts, a form suspended from the frame, and a mat and cage assembly tied to the frame. The frame system can be aligned in proper position and the anchor bolts placed in the frame system before the concrete is placed. In this way, the anchor bolts can be cast in place as the footing is placed.

A golf ball according to the present invention comprises: a core having a diameter of 37-39 mm and a first density; a mantle which surrounds the core, includes amorphous alloy powder, and has a thickness of 0.8-1.2 mm and a second density; and a cover which surrounds the mantle and has a thickness of 1-1.4 mm and a third density.

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 shaped part can comprise an opaque decorative layer, at least two symbols on the front side, a translucent base, the decorative layer having one or more first light channels, one or more first functional having a first light element, a first functional layer on the rear side of the base, the first functional elements on the front side of the first functional layer, the decorative layer having one or more second light channels, one or more second functional elements having a second light element, a second functional layer on the rear side of the decorative layer, the second functional elements in or on the second functional layer, and being provided at least partially in the second light channels, the second functional elements covering the second light channels of the decorative layer such that the second light channels become or are shielded from light of the first light elements.

Baffles for food waste disposers, systems employing such baffles, and methods of assembling, manufacturing, fabricating, or operating such baffles or baffle systems are disclosed herein. In one example embodiment, a baffle for implementation in connection with a food waste disposer includes a rim portion, a plurality of flaps, and a plurality of living hinges, wherein the rim portion, living hinges, and flaps constitute a single integrally-formed structure. The respective living hinges permit the respective flaps to be rotatable about respective axes that respectively are substantially tangent to respective locations along or proximate to the rim portion, so that the respective flaps can be rotated to respective closed positions. Either the living hinges or at least one additional component tend to cause the respective flaps to remain at the respective closed positions or to return to the respective closed positions when not at the respective closed positions.

According to one implementation, a composite material molding jig 3 includes a tubular member 5 and at least one rigid plate member 6 (6A, 6B) so that a composite material structure O (O1, O2) having a hollow structure can be formed easily. The tubular member 5 has flexibility. The at least one rigid plate member 6 (6A, 6B) reinforces strength of the tubular member 5 partially. The tube is used in a state where air is introduced inside the tube. Further, according to one implementation, a composite material molding method includes using the above-mentioned composite material molding jig 3 in order to produce a composite material structure O (O1, O2) so that the composite material structure O (O1, O2) having a hollow structure can be formed easily.
