A component of a mold for molding preforms made of thermoplastic material, comprising

at least a first part (10) and at least a second part (20) adapted to mold part of the outer surface of a preform,

wherein, when the first part (10) and the second part (20) are assembled to each other, at least a first surface (11) of the first part (10) and at least a second surface (21) of the second part (20) face each other and are spaced apart from each other, thus delimiting a passageway for gases or vapors to leave the mold;

and wherein at least one of said first surface (11) and said second surface (21) comprises laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSSs).

Provided is an inexpensive mesh filter with high productivity. This mesh filter, which is an integrally molded product of resin, includes: a mesh part in which a plurality of ribs are disposed in a lattice shape; a rim part which is formed in an annular shape so as to surround the mesh part, and to which the plurality of ribs are connected; and a final filling part which is disposed on the inner side of the rim part, and to which some of the plurality of ribs are connected. The cross-sectional area of at least one rib among the ribs connected to the final filling part is smaller than the cross-sectional area of at least one rib among the ribs not connected to the final filling part.

A core lifter having lifter bar with an elongate blade which carries a coupling head received in an elongate lifter bar coupling receiver formed in the base configured to permit pivotable, swiveling and/or translational misalignment or tolerance compensation during core lifter assembly, installation, and operation in a plastic formable material molding apparatus, including during mold cycling advantageously preventing core lifter binding and extending core lifter life. A preferred lifter has a lifter bar formed of a blade to which a lifter bar coupling ball is attached that is received in an elongate longitudinally extending channel having a transverse cross section complementary to the ball defining a bearing race in which the ball is received enabling slidable pivoting, swiveling and slidable movement of the ball and blade relative thereto including while the ball and blade are slidably moving along the race in a longitudinal or lengthwise direction relative to the base.

The present disclosure relates to an injection mold, a process for using same and a product therefrom. The injection mold can be used for manufacturing an injection-molded product. The injection mold includes: a transfer mold, which is disposed in front of the injection-molded product and forms a pattern on a front surface of the injection-molded product; and a rear surface mold, which is disposed behind the injection-molded product, wherein an embossing pattern is formed on a rear surface part of the rear surface mold, which faces a rear surface of the injection-molded product.

A container having an annular sidewall with upper and lower annular peripheral edges and a lattice structure of elongate ribs interconnecting the upper and lower annular peripheral edges, wherein the lattice structure is an open framework defining a plurality of sidewall openings, and a base having an annular peripheral edge which is integral with the lower annular peripheral edge of the sidewall, the annular peripheral edge of the base surrounding a base wall structure which is integral therewith, the base wall structure having at least one injection moulding sprue at a central region of the base wall structure, wherein the at least one injection moulding sprue is connected to the upper annular peripheral edge of the annular sidewall by the base wall structure, the annular peripheral edge of the base, the lower annular peripheral edge of the sidewall and the lattice structure of the sidewall, wherein the sidewall and the base are composed of a thermoplastic polymer and define a central concavity for packaging a product, and wherein the container further has a flexible sheet which is bonded to the lattice structure to cover the sidewall openings and form a sealed sidewall surface of the container.

An injection molded component has a functional portion and a quality control portion. The quality control portion comprises a set of protrusions which are adapted to distort visibly in response to injection molding shrinkage, thereby to enable visual quality control inspection.

A patient interface device for use in ophthalmic surgery, which includes a rigid body and a suction ring joined to a lower end of the body, where the suction ring includes an annular skirt made of a soft and flexible material and located at a lower end of the suction ring, and where an inner surface, and optionally an outer surface, of the skirt is coated with medication. The medication includes one or more of the following types of medication: anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, numbing, lubricating, and anti-redness. The coating method may include dip coating, sputter deposition, ultrasonic-spraying, and spin-coating. The skirt may be formed by a process that increases its material porosity and/or surface roughness, and may be surface-treated to enhance adhesion and retention of the medication.

A method for manufacturing a structured embossing cylinder for embossing system including the steps of providing a hard-coated embossing roller having a cylindrically-shaped core and a hard-coating layer on the cylindrically-shaped core, the hard-coating layer having a thickness in a range between 1 gm and 10 gm, and having a surface-roughness value RA of less than 100 nm, depositing a masking layer on the hard-coating layer, the masking layer having a thickness of equal or less than 100 nm, removing material from the masking layer to form at least one opening, and etching to remove material at the at least one opening of the masking layer from the hard-coating layer to form a surface cavity in the hard-coating layer at the at least one opening, the surface cavity forming a structural embossing feature into the hard-coating layer, thereby forming the structured embossing cylinder.

An injection moulded acoustic filter comprising a foil piece or filter structure having a plurality of micro-slits configured to act as acoustic channels through the foil piece for filtering sound waves impinging the foil piece. The micro-slits have a maximum slit width across a surface of the foil piece of less than one hundred micrometres and a combined slit length along the surface of the foil piece of at least five millimetres. An earplug comprising the acoustic filter. A method and mould for manufacturing the acoustic filter.

A resin molding has a first surface and a second surface, wherein the second surface includes a rib, and wherein the first surface includes a glossy portion and a non-glossy portion.
