A process of overmolding a frame of a portable eyewear electronic device and a frame produced by the process is presented. A frame that includes a first material and includes a releasably mountable feature is attached to the mold in a desired position and does not contact other areas of the mold. The mold is filled with a second material to at least partially encase the frame insert.

A wireless charging mouse includes an upper housing, a lower housing, and a coil board. The lower housing is fixed to the upper housing and has an aperture for exposing a displacement sensing module. The coil board is integrally embedded in the lower housing by means of injection molding such that the coil board and the lower housing are formed as a one-piece structure.

A method of coating a surface of an interior component for a vehicle may include coupling a mold cavity on the interior component seated on a core and closing the mold cavity, and coating a surface of the interior component by injecting polyurethane into an interior of the coupled mold cavity and the core.

A system for retaining a magnet in a cochlear implant, comprising a retainer embedded within an encapsulant of the cochlear implant, and a magnet case engaged with the retainer. A retainer for retaining a magnet within a cochlear implant comprising a number of first fasteners that couple with a number of corresponding second fasteners of a magnet case hermetically sealing the magnet, and a number of supports embedded within an encapsulant of the cochlear implant.

The disclosure describes an injection molding process for coating a tablet core to produce a coated pharmaceutical tablet, wherein the injection-molded coating is substantially continuous (e.g., completely covers the tablet core with no openings), and describes the resulting coated pharmaceutical tablet. The disclosure describes compositions for coatings and tablet cores and equipment suitable for performing the process.

A method for manufacturing an electromechanical structure, including producing conductors on a flat film; estimating a strain a plurality of locations of the flat film will undergo during formation thereof into a three-dimensional film; attaching electronic elements on the flat film at selected locations of the plurality of locations of the flat film, wherein the estimated strain of the selected locations of the plurality of locations is less than the estimated strain in other locations of the plurality of locations; forming the flat film into the three-dimensional film; and injection molding material on the three-dimensional film.

A method protects a field joint of a pipeline, where chamfered edges of thermally-insulating parent coatings on conjoined pipe lengths are in mutual opposition about a longitudinally-extending gap. The method includes manufacturing an hourglass-shaped inner layer around the pipe lengths, which layer may be moulded. The inner layer extends longitudinally along the gap between the chamfered edges and at least partially overlies the chamfered edges. A thermally-insulating solid insert is assembled from two or more parts to lie in the gap surrounding the inner layer, and pressure is applied radially inwardly from the insert to the inner layer. An outer layer of molten material is manufactured around the insert to form a watertight barrier and to form one or more melted interfaces with the inner layer. Corresponding field joint arrangements are also disclosed.

An interlocking toy building block includes a first block body and a first magnet positioned therein a first distance from a first outer surface thereof to provide a first predetermined magnetic polarity to the first outer surface. When the first outer surface is brought into close proximity with a second outer surface of a second block body having a second magnet positioned a second distance therein and exhibiting a second predetermined magnetic polarity opposing the first predetermined magnetic polarity, the first outer surface is configured to mate with the second outer surface in an interlocking position. A potential magnetic force F.sub.m between the pair of magnets is determined by the formulation: F.sub.m=F.sub.o e.sup.−rd where F.sub.o is the initial force (i.e., no separation distance between magnets), and e.sup.−rd is the exponential function of the rate of decay “r” of the magnets and the distance “d” between the magnets.

Golf ball methods and molds for quickly and efficiently eliminating air/gas from within a mold during golf ball manufacture and the improved golf balls resulting therefrom.

Overmolded inserts and methods for forming the same The present disclosure is directed to overmolded inserts (100) with reduced internal residual stress and corresponding methods for forming the overmolded inserts. The overmolded inserts have a polymer housing; metal or metal allow tapered insert (104, 302) and a compression element (106, 304) disposed between the housing and the distal end of the tapered insert. During formation, the tapered insert and compression element are placed within a mold. The polymer housing material is heated and filled into the mold. As the polymer housing cools, the compression element is compressed between the polymer housing and the tapered insert. The overmolded inserts formed have reduced internal residual stress relative to a corresponding insert formed from non-tapered insert.
