In addition, a manufacturing method of the composite plate is also provided.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for assembling a subassembly for use in manufacturing an implantable device header. A method includes placing a first split web into a top platen, placing a second split web into a bottom platen, placing a conductor assembly and an antenna assembly in the bottom platen on top of the second split web, compressing the top and bottom platens together, heating the top and bottom platens until a predetermined temperature and a predetermined pressure are reached, such that first split web is fused to the second split web to form the subassembly, separating the top and bottom platens, and removing the formed subassembly.

A method of manufacturing a medical component includes preparing a first sheet of an elastomeric material, arranging at least one electronic device in the first sheet of elastomeric material to obtain an elastomeric preform, and arranging the elastomeric preform in a mold and molding the elastomeric preform therein to cure the elastomeric material and form the medical component having the at least one electronic device embedded therein.

This disclosure describes features and methods of formation of a data port for a portable electronic device. The portable electronic device includes a device housing having a wall defining a data port opening. An anchoring feature is formed along a portion of the wall defining the data port opening. A structural support member is positioned within the data port opening and reinforces the data port opening. A polymer material fills a gap between the structural support member and a portion of the wall defining the data port opening. The polymer material engages the anchoring feature to retain the structural support member within the data port opening.

Proposed is a method of manufacturing an antibacterial mobile phone case using a TPU antibacterial masterbatch. The method includes: (a) preparing an antibacterial masterbatch by dispersing an antibacterial agent and an additive in thermoplastic polyurethane and then performing extrusion molding; (b) preparing an antibacterial masterbatch by dispersing an antibacterial agent and an additive in thermoplastic polyurethane and then performing extrusion molding; (c) dispersing and mixing the color masterbatch prepared in step (a) in thermoplastic polyurethane; (d) dispersing and mixing the antibacterial masterbatch prepared in step (b) in thermoplastic polyurethane; and (e) dispersing the material mixed in step (c) and the material mixed in step (d) and then performing injection molding.

A remote control for operating an electronic device comprising a plastic housing with a plastic plate segment with a control panel which has at least one control element, preferably button elements and/or at least one directional pad for operating an electronic device,

wherein the plastic plate segment is formed from a plastic material which has an Charpy impact strength of more than 6 kJ/m.sup.2, in particular of 9.0 kJ/m.sup.2+/−0.3 kJ/m.sup.2, wherein the plastic material is an isosorbide-based polymer.

An attachment part for connecting to a structural part. The attachment part has an attachment part longitudinal axis, and a weld portion to be welded to the structural part by torsional ultrasonic welding. The weld portion has a contact surface for contact with a torsion sonotrode, and a weld surface for connecting to the structural part. The weld portion is delimited, at least portionally, by an inner vibration decoupling zone. The inner vibration decoupling zone, at least portionally, surrounds an inner portion of the attachment part.

An injection molding method for a product with a connection elastic sheet, a loudspeaker and an electronic device are provided. The method comprises: providing a blank material comprising at least one connection piece and a material connection strip, and each connection piece comprising an elastic arm portion and a wire portion; positioning the blank material as an insert in a first injection mold by means of the material connection strip; injecting a first injection plastic part into the first injection cavity to obtain a first injection product; processing the first injection product for bending up the elastic arm portion toward an outer surface of the first injection plastic part; placing the processed first injection product into a second injection cavity of a second injection mold, and sealing the elastic arm portion; and injecting a second injection plastic part into the second injection cavity.

A method of manufacturing a button-enabled housing assembly includes pre-forming a composite button component or insert having an elastically flexible button membrane that is mounted on a rigid frame, and thereafter molding a housing over the button insert. The composite button insert is formed in a co-molding operation and can include a rigid island in the flexible button membrane for supporting a cosmetic keycap.
