The present invention provides an automatic casting device for a lens monomer and a process thereof. When the lens monomer within a mold cavity reaches a liquid level monitoring point P, the cavity is exactly 50% filled with the lens monomer. The remaining of the casting process will be precisely controlled based on the obtained data from the past process to ensure an exact 100% monomer filling into the cavity.

The invention relates to a manufacturing method and a dispensing machine comprising a metering step and particularly a calibration of mass flow of each component, which is completely automatically implemented. Therefore, said dispensing machine of the invention guarantees a reliable calibration, free of operational or input error and is saving operator time.

Configurable orthoses having a high degree of independent adjustability of various parameters are provided. In the example of a rehabilitation-evaluation ankle-foot orthosis (REAFO), these parameters may include calf band anteroposterior, height, width, sagittal tilt, coronal tilt, and mediolateral displacement adjustments; mediolateral displacement adjustments of a supramalleolar support; heel width/stirrup separation adjustment; and sagittal active joint resistance and neutral angle adjustments. Calf band mediolateral displacement adjustment may be provided by a lockable four-bar pivoting frame linkage of the REAFO. In one aspect, the configurable orthosis is used in conjunction with a plastically deformable precursor member to facilitate the design and manufacture of a definitive orthosis customized for a particular patient. In another aspect, the orthosis communicatively transmits limb shape data to either a positive shape receiver apparatus or a CAD/CAM apparatus, to facilitate design and manufacture of a definitive orthosis.

A method for setting polymerization condition includes a physical property acquiring step of, when heating a composition including a polymerization-reactive compound and a polymerization catalyst and/or a polymerization initiator and retaining heat at a predetermined temperature, acquiring a physical property value a derived from a functional group before heating of the polymerization-reactive compound and a physical property value b derived from a remaining functional group after maintaining a temperature for a predetermined time; a remaining functional group ratio calculating step of calculating a remaining functional group ratio from the physical property value a and the physical property value b; a reaction rate coefficient calculating step of calculating a reaction rate coefficient from the remaining functional group ratio on the basis of a reaction rate equation; and a polymerization temperature calculating step of calculating a polymerization temperature on the basis of the reaction rate coefficient and conditions below.

Provided are a mold for manufacturing a percutaneous absorption sheet that can be detected from an image, and an apparatus and a method for manufacturing a percutaneous absorption sheet having a needle-like protrusion using the mold. The mold is a mold for manufacturing a percutaneous absorption sheet in which a plurality of needle-like recessed portions are disposed, and the problem is solved by a mold for manufacturing a percutaneous absorption sheet in which the mold has a gray color in which a brightness value in a case where a brightness in an HSL (Hue Saturation Lightness) color space is represented in 256 levels is in a range of 30 or more and 200 or less.

Provided is a method for manufacturing a microneedle array in which the distal end of a needle-like recessed portion is reliably filled with a drug solution. The problem is solved by a method for manufacturing a microneedle array, including: a positioning adjustment step of adjusting positioning of a mold having a needle-like recessed portion on a front surface, and a drug solution ejection nozzle which ejects a drug solution; a relative movement step of moving the mold and the drug solution ejection nozzle relative to each other to cause a position of the needle-like recessed portion and a position of the drug solution ejection nozzle to coincide with each other in a plan view in a direction parallel to an ejection direction of the drug solution; an ejection step of ejecting the drug solution from the drug solution ejection nozzle toward the needle-like recessed portion; and a suction step of suctioning a rear surface of the mold.
