A method for producing an electronic device, the method including: encasing an electronic assembly with a first casing material; holding the first electronic assembly encased by the first casing material over a holding element such that the holding element is spaced apart from the electronic assembly above the first casing material, and encasing the assembly retained on the holding element with a second casing material.

A method for manufacturing a cutting electrode for a surgical instrument. The method involves starting with a material blank that is provided with a rated break location. The material blank is dimensioned to allow for separation with forces sufficiently low that they can also be transmitted by the plastic body. The rated break location separates the material blank in a first section serving exclusively for handling and positioning of the material blank in a mold as well as in a second section that self-supportingly projects in a mold hollow space and is overmolded by plastic. After removal, the first section can be easily broken off the cutting electrode. The created breaking edge forms a cutting edge.

A sensor assembly includes first and second sensor packages adjacent to one another and directly overmolded with an overmold material without being attached to a carrier structure. The first sensor package includes a first sensor die, a first set of connector pins electrically connected to the first sensor die, a first housing in which the first sensor die is located, the first housing having first and second surfaces spaced apart from one, and a first component positioned in proximity to the second surface of the first housing. The second sensor package includes a second sensor die, a second set of connector pins electrically connected to the second sensor die, a second housing in which the second sensor die is located, the second housing having third and fourth surfaces spaced apart from one another, and a second component positioned in proximity to the fourth surface of the second housing.

A method for producing a sealing element for forming a seal on a vehicle body, in particular a vehicle door; in the method, a profiled strip section is subjected to punching, and/or an additional element portion of the sealing element is molded onto a profited strip section. The profiled strip section is provided with a projection that extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the strip, and the projection is used for positioning the profiled strip section relative to a punching die or injection mold in the longitudinal direction of the strip.

A plastic injection rail, subjected to an inner relative pressure for an engine, includes: a conduit body; a plug; and a junction part overmolded within a contact area defined by portions of the plug and the end of the conduit body. The junction part can fixedly attach the plug into the end of the body, and includes a first portion arranged around the contact area, and a second portion within a space between the conduit body and plug. The plug has a hollow projection that extends toward the plug head. The plug body includes hollow rings including a primary ring arranged at the level of the free end of the plug body and secondary rings arranged between the primary ring and plug head. The junction part presents a generally cylindrical shape formed by rings including a primary ring closest to the contact area, and secondary rings.

A sensor assembly includes first and second sensor packages adjacent to one another and directly overmolded with an overmold material without being attached to a carrier structure. The first sensor package includes a first sensor die, a first set of connector pins electrically connected to the first sensor die, a first housing in which the first sensor die is located, the first housing having first and second surfaces spaced apart from one, and a first component positioned in proximity to the second surface of the first housing. The second sensor package includes a second sensor die, a second set of connector pins electrically connected to the second sensor die, a second housing in which the second sensor die is located, the second housing having third and fourth surfaces spaced apart from one another, and a second component positioned in proximity to the fourth surface of the second housing.

A solar heat exchanger in which the manifolds are connected together using a threadless connection arrangement in which the end of one manifold tube carries at least two annular seals and the internal bore of the end of the adjacent manifold tube is cammed and when locked, the connection of the two manifolds is resistant to loosening when exposed to repeated thermal expansion and contraction cycles.

A printed film with mounted light emitting diodes encapsulated in a light guide includes a printed film assembly. The printed film assembly includes multiple light emitting diodes. A light guide is injection molded onto a first side of the body covering the light emitting diodes. A light transmissive polymeric material coating layer is applied by injection molding to a second side of the body opposite to the first side. An overmolded component has the printed film assembly embedded therein, with the coating layer exposed for visibility of light from the light emitting diodes when at least one of the light emitting diodes is energized.

In order to reduce production tolerances, a receiving device is proposed for receiving a first, in particular a sealing profile for vehicle doors, which is designed to injection mold at least one, in particular two further profiles onto the first profile, comprising at least two molds, in order to hold the first profile in each of the molds at least in some sections, having a connecting device for connecting two of the at least two molds and for aligning the first profile, wherein the two interconnected molds each comprise at least one receiving opening for receiving and holding the profile and the connecting device, wherein the receiving opening is designed to be able to receive the first profile and the connecting device in at least one of the two interconnected molds so as to be at least partly countersunk.

An insert-molded container in which a secondary container made of transparent synthetic resin is integrally provided to the outside of a primary container, the secondary container includes a gate mark, and a vapor-deposited layer is provided on the outer surface of the primary container in a peripheral area of the gate mark is manufactured by a manufacturing method of insert-molded container. The method includes: a cover attaching step of attaching a cover member made of transparent synthetic resin to the outer surface of a part of the primary container where a vapor-deposited layer is provided; a placing step of placing the primary container in a mold with the cover member facing a gate; and an insert molding step of injecting a transparent synthetic resin material from the gate.
